Title: STP and GNR songs you'd like VR to play
Post by: RichardNixon on February 22, 2005, 07:48:13 PM
For STP: All of these would sound killer with a Slash solo  : ok: :peace:

1. Sour Girl
2. Big Bang Baby
3. Trippin on a hole in a Paper Heart
4. Down

And for GN'R

1. 14 Years- That's one of GN'R finest songs, IMHO, and it would be a real surprise.
2. Locomotive- Scott could pull it off great.
3. Dead Horse.
4. Novemer Rain- Yes, it's an Axl song, but the crowd would go nuts.

November Rain by VR I dont think I have to say anything here  :no:

The only GN'R song I could imagine VR doing out of you're list is Dead Horse

Those songs from gn'r are about where Slash, Matt n Duff have been not where they are going

I think VR guys have chosen the STP and GN'R songs to do

Good Topic dude..Stp Songs: Sour Girl, Days Of The Week,Plush

GNR Songs: So Fine would be awsome..Scott would have no problem singing Axl's parts
YCBM
My Michelle

I think Dead Horse would be an idea, i don't actually think VR should do any more stuff that isn't there's originally, but its only a hypothetical thread anyway.

Maybe they could do 'Since i don't have u' and dedicate it to Axl :hihi:

STP
Down
Crackerman
Heaven and Hotrods
Sex Type Thing
No Sex or Violence
Silvergun Superman

Gn'R
It's So Easy
Out Ta Get Me
Mr. Brownstone
My Michelle
You're Crazy (slow - but electric)
Don't Damn Me


I think VR could do any of those songs kick-ass.? 2 - 4 a night would be nice, along with a lloonngg VR set..maybe
(and yes I know they do some of these songs, they're good choices for the band!)


Title: Re: STP and GNR songs you'd like VR to play
Post by: Eclipsed107 on February 22, 2005, 09:02:46 PM
Oh and out of the already mentioned songs...

1. Sour Girl
2. Big Bang Baby
3. Trippin on a hole in a Paper Heart
4. Down
5. Days Of The Week,
6. Plush

1. 14 Years
2. Locomotive
3. Dead Horse
4. Novemer Rain
5. So Fine
6. YCBM
7. My Michelle

The only songs I could imagen VR doing from that 13 song list is..Trippin' on a hole in a paper heart (but probably not), down, plush (i guess, but it's so cliche and overrated) and my michelle.

The others just don't fit the VR style, espechally Sour Girl and Days of the Week (way way too much pop for VR) Big Banb Baby (my fave. stp song btw) ,Dead Horse, November Rain, and So Fine...

Double Talkin' Jive, and I've said this before, would be a great song for VR.  Scott's vocals fit this song pretty perfectly.  Unfortunately, and someone tell me if I'm wrong, by law they may not be able to play this song, unless they got approval from Izzy Stradlin, who wrote this song.  Now I know bands, including VR, play cover songs from other bands, but technically are they not allowed to do that?  If they were to play November Rain or Estranged, which are solely Axl's songs, I'm sure Uncle Axl would flip.

Post by: Booker Floyd on February 22, 2005, 09:53:21 PM
Ideally, Id love to see "You Could Be Mine" and "Trippin' On A Hole..."

The likelihood of that happening is very small, so realistically Id like to see "Anything Goes," "Nightrain," or maybe "My Michelle."

On the STP end, Id love to see "Army Ants," "Down," or "Vasoline."  "Big Empty" and "Plush" are unlikely, but equally welcome.

Post by: tomass74 on February 22, 2005, 09:59:13 PM
I won't list the songs they already do.  I really enjoy the covers of STP and Gn'R they do in the shows as long as they keep them to about 5 or 6.

STP
-------
Wicked Garden
Plush
Dead and Bloated
Art School Girl
Sour Girl
Trippin On A Hole

Gn'R
----------
Paradise City
Rocket Queen
You're Crazy (Slow Tempo)

I don't think he'd ever desire to so I guess it's mute, but there's no way Scott could ever pull off "November Rain."

GNR:

Not even GN'R played that live.

Post by: McClane on February 23, 2005, 08:37:18 AM
I really think that Scott can sing almost all GNR songs and it would be very good...Did you notice in the toronto bootleg how Scott sound very similar to Axl in It's so easy and Mr.Brownstone...

I don't want  VR to play the GNR singles or the most popular GNR songs, I just want something that we didn't heard 100 times live and something that would fit with Scott on vocals...
So here's my wishlist:

STP:

Interstate love song
Big Bang Baby
Sour Girl

(and keep Crakerman and Sex Type thing in the setlist)

GNR:

Double talkin Jive (Scott would nail that one)
You're crazy (Scott voice would fit well)
Dust N' Bones (great song live, it would fit for VR)
Locomotive (would be just great)
You could be mine ( I know it's a GNR single but it would kick ass !)

(and keep It's so easy and Mr.Brownstone in the setlist)

Yeah, I know. That's part of the reason why I would like to see them do it if they are going to continue to do GNR songs.

realisticiallyhe couldnt play hardly any of those GNR songs u guys mentioned

there is no way in hell he could sing the end of rocket queen or my michelle or you could be mine

I think they should in the future distance themselves as much as possible from GNR songs to be honest maybe play Its So Easy cause thats bout the only one that sounds good when they do it.

I mostly agree. There is no singer on the world who could interpret the classic GN'R songs on they way they should be.

i just think if u are gonna do a cover song it should be as good as the original.

doin GNR songs even its so easy, at the end with the high pitched "its so easy, so fuckin easy, its so easy"


when scott does the megaphone it just isnt anywhere close to as possible.

Or even better or you make a very different version of the song (although that's still supposed to be good).

BTW I think that VR's Brownstone and Easy are good covers, very close to the originals.

Erm, why do u ppl believe covers are sposed to be exact reproductions of the originals? That's why they are covers, not tribute songs. 

And I'd say they should do Don't Damn Me.  Lyrically, perfect for the attitude of Scott, and it's not that high vocally. Plus its one of the superb GN'R songs, and it would be soooo cool to do a song that has _never_ been performed live by the old band.

i dont think they should do any gnr songs.  it doesn't sound right without Axl's voice, and aren't they always saying they want to distance themselves from their gnr past  :rofl:

Whoever said Dead Horse, that is 100% Axl's song.. if they played that they would look like fools.   oh wait.

I didn't mean that and I agree with you. I only said that these GN'R covers (tribute songs  ;D) sounded like the old GN'R would have played. But it'd have been strange if Slash & Co had turned Brownstone or Easy to a death metal or orchestra song.

I am anxious for another VR album so they have more material for the live setting so they can distance themselves form GnR and STP. I actually think they have done a good job with the few that they have been playing, pretty good choices. If i had to pick i think it would be killer to see VR do 14 Years with Stradlin. As for STP i think Hollywood Bitch would be a cool choice.

I agree that he sings them great, Brownstone and It's So Easy....It's not Axl but he sings them just as powerful and he sounds just fine.
