Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I like how they ripped into cheryl crow for covering a rock classic...Did anyone watch the show..?
Riki rathman said something good, saying if you're goingto cover something that's become a rock lassic or standard you better do it right/// Obviously she didn't...

I think she did a bad job, but I like seeing people cover gnr tunes, it shows some resepct towards the band..

It's easy to fuck up gnr songs for those who cover them
Maybe thats why gnr did a punk-cover album... you can't fuck up punksongs :hihi:

Axl should have demanded an apology when she passed by at the VMA's.  :hihi:

         :drool: That Sherryl Crow version of SCOM is really really HORRIBLE! She ruined the song...

i love her version......lol

I'm sure he didn't mind, after all she made him a lot of money by covering the song :hihi:

But it was a terrible cover

Yea, but I think SCOM is very personal to Axl, like Slash said in the BTM and I would hope Axl would look deeper than money on the issue.

She did a terrible job, it was so sappy and lost all the passion of GN'R.

But when do people cover GNR songs?  I can hardly think of any other than those dodgy tribute albums that are around.  I suppose it would be asking too much for Limp Bizkit to cover Nightrain, they'd have to replace the guitar parts with some nonce scratching vinyl or something!

Did you ever listen to the metal vs electronica afd covers..? It wasn't anything to write home about but it was an interesting twist..

I think it would be difficult for most people who are die hard gnr fans to except any gnr covers ,the people on the forum shold such a high standard..

I remember when vr first covered iot's so easy and everyone was saying it sucks and he doesn't sound like axl.. I try to listen to a cover and realize that it's not suppose to sound like who sang it first, everyone puts a different spin on covers.

axl doesn't sound like dylan on kohd, doesn't sound like sir paul on live n let die but the songs still rock..

I have about 90 GNR cover songs done by other people or bands - and those don't include all the tribute albums. Some of them are decent, most of them horrible. Some are just small live clips or sort of like Ron Thal's SCOM was, made just for fun. 35 of them are versions of Sweet Child, by the way...

That was her in the interview??????  Jesus,I've been asking myself if that's her for the past two years.

Sheryl Crows career has been flushed down the toilet since the mid 90's. She had no right to cover this song.

Sherl has a funny connection with STP, because "Days of the Week" was origanally written for her, but Scott decided to keep the song anyway, so STP released it. Poor Sheryl cant write any good songs. :crying:

The DOTW video is at launch.

i saw the show.. it was pretty good.. they ripped on sheryl crow for covering scom, mariah carrey for covering def leppard's bringin on the heartbreak and celine dion for covering ac/dc's shook me all night long.. i think the world would be a much better place if pop-stars stuck to pop songs instead of trying to cover rock songs..

 I watched it she did a horrible job. :P

at least she didnt butcher the song as much as mariah carrey butchered bringin on the heartbreak.. and i wont even go into celine dion's shook me all night long.. that was just fucking scary..  :crying:

yeah thats true and omg i forgot about celine dion LOL now that was terrible. :P

you gotta admit celine was pretty funny.  i mean the air guitar??? what the hell was that??? :rofl:

a frnch canadian doing ac/dc, that was hilarious.. WOnder what was going through her head when she agreed..?

That was a pretty cool show.  The most metal moments was good for the part I saw of it.  Any word if GnR was mentioned in that one?

gnr were mentioned alot during that show.. they were mentioned about when slash needed to hire a bodyguard to carry him home when he passed out from drinking, the riot, axl vs vince neil, etc..

and about the celine dion thing.. i thought it was hilarious when in the show they showed clips of her covering it to acdc and their facial expression just went "what the fuck?" :rofl:

^^Can't forget the music awards when slash was cursing up a storm.. :hihi:


I love when dee snider said axl jumped into the crowd and played sweet child o' mine on some guy's face :rofl:

When I saw the Celine Dion performance for the first time, I must have had a stroke.  I couldn't move or utter a sound for its entirety and eight minutes after. It's as if every critical sensor in my body fired all at once; i couldn't even utter a snide remark to my friends who were sitting next to me. It was sublimely bad and could be categorized as the Holy Grail for the cantankerous music fan;  a perfromance so hideous, it nulifies the entire catalog of achievement by said artist.


in the future, I will be looking for similiar examples from Phil Collins, Britney, Usher, and Beonyce.

i'm surprised that no one has mentioned that pat boone guy hahaha :hihi: now thats sad
