Post by: Outtagetme04 on September 22, 2004, 12:11:15 PM
I personally would like to see them have an attempt at the Beatles tune 'while my guitar gently weeps' I feel they could make it a true epic.
Most people know the tune as the song Clapton played a solo on, which is on par with of Slash's stuff, so why not have a go.

I know the question is merely hypothetical, but after all this time and all the "supposed" material they have, there shouldn't be any covers.
We already have enough covers bt GnR to last a lifetime.
The only reason I could see it would be if the song really, really fit the new bands sound
and was to be featured on a soundtrack or something.

Id love to hear them cover this song as well. It would be amazing to see live or hear on a new album. Other then that song, I think Piece of Mind by Boston, or for some reason The Sacrament by HIM would also be covered awesomely. : ok:

AHHH!? GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

Last night I was listening to The White Album in the car on the way to the video store and when "While My Guitar..." came on I was thinking how Axl would do a sweet version of it...to the point where I started singing along with my own, piss-poor "Axl voice".

I later skipped to "Blackbird" and thought a nice, quiet Axl cover of that would be cool for a B-side or possibly an unplugged performance.

I think putting their newest version of knockin On Heavens Door on the album would be pretty cool.  Did they play this version at all their shows in 2002?  Did they ever play there older version?  I personally liked it, and it would be something different.  I don't know of any bands that have covered a song twice, and done it well both times.

I've said it a million times before, I'd LOVE to see what Axl & Co. could do with 'Kiss From A Rose' by Seal. It's one of the better written songs of the last decade, and a harder, but more epic interpretation could be mind-boggling...

That would be awful. Why give him more of a white trash stigma?

I think a great cover for the new band to do would be an updated version of "In the Light" by Led Zeppelin. Not doing a song that was played into the ground on radio, but something epic.

I'd like to hear Axl run thru "where eagles dare" by the misfits and it sounds like something the new band could pull off pretty well. Altho I don't know how big a fan of the misfits axl is, duff was the punk guy.

No way. As much as I love GNR and Axl, this song is perfect already. No need for a cover. it would probably ruin it.

However, a Led Zeppelin song would fit the New GNR perfectly...

I have been saying this for a few years now as well every time a thread about this topic comes up.  A guitar driven version of this song with Axl on vocals could be astonishing.

That would be interesting, lots of possibilities with that one. A good cover to me is a song that people have kinda forgotten about that people do not still hear on a daily or even weekly basis.

Post by: Eva GnRAxlRosette on September 25, 2004, 08:26:56 PM
not necessarily a cover... but, I'd love to hear Axl sing Ozzy's "Goodbye to Romance"
and I think the band /Axl could do something interesting with the Red Hot Chili Peppers "Under the Bridge"...
... "the city I live in, the city of Angels"...   
remember the song that Brian May played at the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert..?
Queen's "Too Much Love"
I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone
For much too long
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind
I've been looking back to find
Where I went wrong
Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster
'cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you
Every time
I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose
No there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I'm bound to lose
Too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you
Every time
Too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why
You'd give your life, you'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you
In the end...
In the end.

and finally... Janis Joplin "Ball and Chain" (with some gender appropriate lyric changes I suppose)

and just cuz I LOVE it...  Led Zepplin's "Whole Lotta Love" and anything from The Doors  : ok:
I also think that GN'R could do some Pink Floyd very well and make it very interesting.

NO NO NO! ok, you didn't have to post the lyrics and try to brainwash us either.... that Song Brian May did was a decent song but not one to make a cover out of.....  and all your other ideas are lame too......  GnR isn't going to do a cover of a song from a different Genre either..... Under the bridge? wtf?    Thats gotta be the stupidist thing I've ever read... thats like asking Led Zepplin to do a cover of Smells like teen spirit...... you don't want an older band doing a cover song from a newer band.... if it was Red Hot Chili Peppers doing a cover of Welcome To the Jungle, ok yeh that makes sense, but what you were implying was way beyond sensisble.....

I?d love to hear "Smells like teen spirit" by Led Zepplin, absolutely yeah!

I?d like no covers on CD but all original materials please.

Otherwise?one from completely different genre is preferable. The more varied, the better.
Hmm, how about a Erik Satie piece e.g."Gymnopedies" or "Gnossienne" :drool:

Then again Zep is good choice to show how much they can vary it to make it their own.
Or "You doo right" - The Can.

I don't know why, but for some reason Radiohead's "No Surprises" keeps playing in my head.  Not all slow like the original, but faster, more rockin'.  I can hear Axl wail on the lyrics, and I can even hum a beat for it that seems very GnR-ish.  This would be interesting to hear.  Plus, Axl is a fan of Radiohead, so I could see him do it.  Alright, back to the caves I go.

I think Axl's new voice would be able to pull of Tangerine by Led Zeppelin really well.  I would like to see that on there, would definitely be cool and hmm, something with more of a rock vibe to it by Zeppelin like maybe Ten Years Gone from Physical Graffiti.  I definitely think Guns N' Roses should do some zeppelin cover, cz they never have and I think Zeppelin r the kings of Rock, no better in my opinion.

Of course, it would have to be the song I most want GnR to cover:

"Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd

First of all they need a guitar player to handle the song.
One of the best solos of all time.

How bout, uhm, Under My Wheels! Maybe, Megadeth's Peace Sells, But Whos Buying. Axl could kick ass on Peace Sells!! That is if he used his raspy voice, like on RNDTH or something.

should. won't.

And they wouldn't be covering it; it's a guns n' roses song.

Ok, I heard sylvester stallone on a late night show a while back talking about a new "Rocky" movie they are working on...

So I thought it would be perfect.... the ultimate comeback. Eye of the Tiger by GNR on the soundtrack would be crazy! I know that might sound cheesy but I was thinking of that when I heard about it....

not that i`m a big limp bizkit fan, but i think it was very interesting, having axl singing on breakstuff for example.  i think i would fit in the new gnr`s style, and axl hasn`t something against hip hop influenced music.

Can't believe no-one's said this yet...

I want two covers. The front and the back.

But seriously, folks. It'd be quite funny if GN'R did a Velvet Revolver cover, just for giggles - Suckertrain Blues has some shrieking in it that'd suit Axl.

A Queen song would be pretty good, too - Now I'm Here would be fun, or Brian May's Resurrection (with harmony tapping solo!)

I think I already responded to this (or similar thread) but I have a new idea for a perfect Axl cover.

19th NERVOUS BREAKDOWN by the Stones

Take a listen to this one again and tell me it wouldn't be perfect.? : ok:

Watching the wheels by john lennon.

People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing,
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin,
When I say that I'm o.k. they look at me kind of strange,
Surely your not happy now you no longer play the game,

People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away,
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me,
When I tell that I'm doing Fine watching shadows on the wall,
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball?

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll,
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go,

People asking questions lost in confusion,
Well I tell them there's no problem,
Only solutions,
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind,
I tell them there's no hurry...
I'm just sitting here doing time,

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll,
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go.

This may seem stupid... but how about Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins... The song obviously is not the coolest but Axl's voice doing it would kick ass.  I don't know.  I may be totally wrong.

If the mighty Gnr were to do a cover, i would love them to do a version of Led Zeppelins 'Thank you' or maybe an Aerosmith Classic like 'Dream On'.  With Axls voice on any of these songs it would be fantastic!
Enough of what covers they should be covering, we want the album out.  I dont know how the rest of the die hard gnr fans are feeling but im really frustrated by different rumors when the album will be released.  I just HOPE it will come out sooner rather than later.

SEE YA

sinnerman- nina simone

really, think about it's over TEN minutes, enough to make it an epic song, has piano parts for axl to play, put in some guitar work, a few riffs near the climax, and the vocals are right up Axl's alley, especially the explosive ending.

it would be the greatest cover the world has ever seen.

I think putting their newest version of knockin On Heavens Door on the album would be pretty cool.? Did they play this version at all their shows in 2002?? Did they ever play there older version?? I personally liked it, and it would be something different.? I don't know of any bands that have covered a song twice, and done it well both times.?

The new version really did nothing for me.
