They made some good songs for sure. Sweet Child O'Mine is still a great song IMO. I also give them credit for sort of bridging the gap between straight-up glam rock and hard rock/metal.

I don't know if they were ever good live though, at least Axl. I saw them live back when they were promoting Use Your Illusion, and they were really awful. At least Axl Rose was. He couldn't hit the notes he did in the recordings and just looked really bored and irritated to even be there. He even brought a chair out at one point and just sat there and sang. Slash and Duff McKagan were great though.
