Agree that the cover is sweet. Those shades really sum up the great years. Zombie Apocalypse = not so good. Curious to hear Dillinger Escape Plan, but no way would I pay for that record. Maybe if I find one on a park bench I'll give it a listen.

Post by: HoldenCaulfield on February 21, 2004, 04:15:54 PM
Jesus, that 'WttJ' was terrible. The intro kicked ass, but the rest of the song is sped up about 23 times too fast. Too many vocal tracks. And the "solos" last all of 3 seconds.

That was honestly the worst fucking cover ever. Makes John Mayer's Patience cover seem like a work of art.
No offense to the hardcore fans, but I can't stomach that shit. What was with the million extra "fucks" in there? I wish I could turn time back 5 minutes ago and not download that song.

That is a v.good cover on its own way. I am very curious about the rest of the album. It will definately make some hard core fans listen to GNR and the opposite.

It's great to hear bands doing covers in their own style and not just copying the original song.  


Title: Re:Bring You To Your Knees

The best Gnr cover is still AFIs version of my michelle.

I don't think its possible to make something that sounds worse, even if you tried.

Jungle seems to be a very versatile song. If that Zombie Apocalypse is the hard end, here's the soft end:

Cibo Matto's version of Welcome To The Jungle (http://www.kotiposti.net/axe00/cm-wttj.mp3)

HAHAHA, this is AWESOME! Thanks for that!

even if you find the thread here is the answer.  IT SUCKS.  Do not get it.  Its the worst tribute album ever.  The only thing cool about it is the Cover art.

Hey!
I don't know how to post links...if somebody could tell me how via PM, that would be good.
Anyway, there's a pretty positive review of the "Bring You to Your Knees" Gn'R tribute up at 411mania.com; they also have a good wrestling section if you're into that...
Go there, and go to the "Music" section...pretty good read.

Post by: Danny on May 22, 2004, 12:29:46 AM
Here's a review I found of this album.  The Estranged cover is intriguing:

Tribute albums are a tricky business. There are those that love them. There are those that hate them. But love them or hate them, tribute albums just don?t seem to go away.

It?s been almost 13 years since Gun N? Roses released a full-length studio album. Apart from a new GnR song showing up on a soundtrack here and there ? and it?s a big here and there: a cover on 1994?s ?Interview with a Vampire? and a new track on 1999?s ?End of Days? ? the last impression the band left on the music scene was 1993?s cover album, ?The Spaghetti Incident??

Well, it?s now 2004 and, in turn, members of the hardcore and indie music scene have come together to cover Guns N? Roses. Even with only three full-length releases under its belt, GnR is a band whose influence can still be felt to this day, and ?Bring You To Your Knees? aims to prove that.

Opening the CD much like GnR did back in 1987 with the familiar riffs of ?Welcome to the Jungle,? are underground legends Zombie Apocalypse. While initially staying true to the original (albeit slightly faster), ZA soon turn this rock classic into a full-out hardcore anthem while adding their own little nuances (?You know where you are? You?re in the graveyard!?

Haste follow-up with an down-tuned, moody take on ?You?re Crazy.? It?s not a particularly inspired cover, but the band gives its own take on the song and, while essentially a straight up metal rendition, the bluesy-backbeat of the song really shines through the sludge (more so than I noticed on the original).

Massachusetts metal-band Unearth offer up ?It?s So Easy,? complete with double-bass drumming throughout the entire track. The production on this track is what hurts it however, as the vocals are slightly muffled and blown out. And the band offers a little tongue-in-cheek nod to GnR frontman during the song?s famous vocal bridge: ?I see you standing there. You think you?re so cool. Hey Axl! Fuck off.? But what Unearth lacks in the vocal department, they make up for it with interesting guitar breaks and solid drumming.

There?s a handful of straightforward covers featured here:

? Break The Silence?s version of ?Nighttrain? differs little from the original, apart from the more drawn out, snotty vocals. The band?s guitarist does a great job mimicking the Slash outro guitar work too.
? Death by Stereo?s take on ?Anything Goes? also differs little from the original, although the band?s rendition of the song?s chorus seems more fun than its predecessor: the lead singer grunting ?my? and ?your? while the band takes the rest of the line.
? Eighteen Visions do justice to ?Paradise City? keeping it simple. It seems like some of the lyrics may be slightly altered but this is another straight up cover until the song?s close where everything gets slowed down and muddied up.
? One of the most surprising takes on the disc is Every Time I Die?s cover of ?I Used to Love Her? that is remarkably close to the original. The production sounds a little more full than that of the original, but it was weird to hear ETID?s frontman doing straight forward vocals.
? God Fobid?s ?Out Ta Get Me? is also faithful to the original. The band?s frontman growls a little more than usual through the song, but the band follows along nice and tight.

While the opening piano to Most Precious Blood?s version of ?Sweet Child O? Mine? sounds pretty artificial off the keyboard, the band?s frontman more than makes up for the artificiality in his strained vocal delivery while the guitars chug along in the background. In fact, the band replaces almost all the guitar soloing throughout the track by the piano although, it should be noted, the lead guitarist does a fabulous job on the guitar solo preceding the ?where do we go? bridge.

The Dillinger Escape Plan try to infuse some salsa into the opening of ?My Michelle,? before exploding into a punk-tinged out of control cover that seems impossible to sing along to. This is probably one of the album?s lowest points, but still not terrible to listen to.

The album?s other low point is the simple re-do of ?14 Years? by Vaux. The band does a competent cover, but the song was never that interesting to begin with, and without any surprises it just doesn?t stand up next to the other songs on here.

Bleeding Through tackle ?Rocket Queen? turning the song into a sludgy hardcore track. As most of the other tracks on here, the vocals are more guttural while the music stays true to the original. The mid-point of the song that was originally filled with a drum solo (where the track turns from a rock anthem into a ballad) is done on keyboard (set to saxophone) here, and the band has a little fun singing answers during the song?s closing moments: ?If you need a shoulder (I need a shoulder), or if you need a friend (I need a friend), I be here standing until the bitter end (THAT sounds great). Trust me, it?s funny stuff.

The Beautiful Mistake offer up the album?s second best track, ?Estranged.? Staying relatively close to the source material, the band offers up a nice compressed version of the song, although The Beautiful Mistake?s vocalist has sounded better (he almost sounds whiney here). The piano solo is left intact and there?s a great drum fill prior to ?I knew the storm was getting closer?.? The only problem is the band never quite finishes the song as it sort of drifts off into feedback without the requisite ?I never wanted it to die? with the lead singer holding onto the last note.

The disc?s absolute highlight is Time In Malta?s cover of ?November Rain.? Upon first listen, it?s almost impossible to connect the cover to the original in the opening until the vocals kick in. While turning a ballad like ?November Rain? into a hardcore track seems like an impossible undertaking, Time in Malta seems to have done so with ease and crafted a song that feels entirely like its own. After the band lays into the ?Everybody needs some time, on their own? bridge, the band adds in a break of ?Spent such a long time, just trying to kill the pain.? After the piano break right where the song begins to flourish for the final minutes (when Slash gets on the piano in the video to do his solo), the frontman growls ?been through this such a long time? as the guitars ominously chug away in the background, over and over again with the drums filling in ? and then the band completely stops except for a single note on the guitar as the singer screams ?We?ve been here such a long time, just trying to kill the pain,? and then the guitars fill back in with the guitar and the whole effect is sure to give the listener chills of satisfaction as the band ?takes it home? repeating ?everybody? as the tracks fades away. Best. Cover. Ever.

Most of the songs on here are pretty strong, and keep this release from sinking from the low points. There wasn?t any need for a ?14 Years? cover, and The Dillinger Escape Plan just sounded lazy. I have some problems with ?Estranged,? but that only because it?s my favorite GnR track and I knew The Beautiful Mistake could do better with the ending. And the cover of ?November Rain? is so good, it?s worth tracking this release down just for this song (the rest is just garnish).

I just listened to it today. Awesome. One of the best tribute albums ever. the best for me are SCOM, Rocket Queen, November Rain, Out Ta Get Me.

Congratultions to the bands. Great!!!

Tribute albums are crap.  "Paying tribute to one's influences" is such a cop out.  All these artists are doing is making money off someone else's songs, that's the only purpose for any tribute album.  If these bands want notoriety, let them earn it themselves just like the band they are ripping off.

The best Gnr cover is still AFIs version of my michelle.

I agree, I love AFI's cover of My Michelle. Excellent. Definitely the best cover I have heard. I love Davey Havok's vocals and the shout along 'well well well'. The guitarist stays pretty faithful, improvising on the solo. Brilliant!

I think it's awesome, WTTJ is brilliant.

To call it a Hardcore album is stupid, maybe one of the bands are hardcore, rest are metal.

But as far as Tribute albums go, this is the best I've heard. It makes a change from carbon copy covers. 8/10! : ok:

I have only listened to it a couple times so far but my favorites were Sweet Child, 14 years and Anything Goes. There are some song sthat have cool parts like I think the end of november rain.  There are a few renditions that nail Slash's solos too on some songs.  There are weak moments too, but I definately thought it was worth it. Much better than the one I bought a few years ago called Appetite For Recontstruction.

Zombie Apocolypse is a unique band. Their cover doesn't represent the rest of the material.
If you like Metalcore you'll probably like the album, if not then don't waste your time.
Look at the list of bands on the album if you don't like them don't get it.
Personally I like the album and think Welcome To The Jungle is one of the strongest points along with Unearth's It's So Easy and Bleeding Through's Rocket Queen. Every Time I Die's cover or Used To Love Her was suprising because no one expected them to stay true to the original.
