Honestly, I think Capcom was on crack when they did the whole GnR theme in X5. Not saying the Japanese names are that much better, what can you do when your running out of ideas (X7 is really bad) but really, GnR is not the band it was back in... like... 1992 and we're talking about a game from the year 2000. When I look at GnR now, I don't see the same band I did back then because it isn't the same band.

Additionally, I got so sick of people bashing Slash for leaving. Can you blame him? Try working on the same album for ten years and see how much patience you have. At least he did something with VR in that time frame.

Deep Purple is another band that is pretty popular in Japan as well.

Also, don't forget that Capcom's love of GnR also showed up in other forms in X5. Axle the Red's stage is littered with - wait for it - Guns and Roses.
