Ok, but you don't need all the superfluous material; it just makes the article longer. Anyway, they are headlining Aftershock this year if you want to note it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:93B0:6B50:B803:AEDC:FF3D:CA66 (talk) 20:22, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove "Heavy Metal" as the genre of Guns N' Roses. Guns N' Roses have never played heavy metal and all of their albums are hard rock. Manyeyedseraphim (talk) 19:20, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. - FlightTime (open channel) 19:23, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

hair metal is a synthesis of heavy metal and hard rock, gnr needs the hair metal genre tag more than anything. wild that their first two albums have the genre but this page doesnt. 2605:59C8:15E1:DB10:100B:4940:E69:B492 (talk) 03:58, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
