Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I heard the story on 98.9 the Rock (Kansas City) of how when Axl heard her cover of SCOM, he personally called and chastised her.  He said called her a "stupid bitch" and told her she should be embarrassed of herself.

Did this make print/do you have a link?

i've never heard about this, but my admiration for axl would grow even greater if he did in fact do that. she fucking butchered that song. atleast when gn'r cover songs they do them credit.

Never heard of such extreme comments either. Sounds doubtful to say the least.

I think its doubt especially since at Rio after playing SCOM in Crowes Set she said, Axl is back, Axl is back. And after her set at the VMAs she walked by axl and smiled at him.

I definitely never heard that one before, but it brought a smile to my face for some reason. That certainly was a pointless cover other than Sheryl Crow padding her already huge bank account. Were Axl & Sheryl already acquaintences from the sessions they both did w/ Don Henley? Or did they just sing on different songs recorded on different days? For some reason I thought they WERE friendly with one another.

this is obviously bullshit.

I don't think Sheryl covering Guns is pointless. In that way Guns making Spaghetti was pointless too. It could be, but it's something they wanted to do for themselves, regardless if they could make money by that.
It's not that good cover for me though. Nevertheless, I can have some new ideas playing SCOM in my acoustic guitar.
I believe there must have been a cooperation or something. Sheryl's version seems to me more familiar with SCOM 98 one than original SCOM. You can notice that from the extro screaming too.
According to what Dave said, she must be a devoted fan.

Edit: Woody that was very funny : ok:

Wooody you made that yourself ? :o

So the dj made up another out n out story. parisrocks, When did they say that?

Look at Sheryl. Women become sneaky when they want to show their presence.  ;D

Besides the all out butchering of SFTD, I'd have to agree...

EDIT: I never heard any anti Crow comments..

I think they look at each other like people who already....met.. :hihi:

I work at the aforementioned radio station and I don't recall this ever being said, we certainly don't have any info you don't.? If it was indeed broadcast, it was certainly something the jock got from a rumor board such as this

she won a grammy for that performance of SCOM, so it wasnt all bad. Plus that fattened Axl's pocket also her putting it on a cd

That still doesn't change the fact that it was a terrible cover.

hahahha woody

Uh, yeah it was.  It's a terrible cover.  You take out Slash's guitar and Axl's singing and that song just plain sucks.  Since when does a grammy make anything respectable?

If you take out Axl`s singing and Slash`s guitar in the gnr version it`s still a great song imo, but in sheryls version there`s something new from her style which makes the cover bad.

What?

Johnny Dare said said that shit whenever Big Daddy came out (late 90's).  Plus, he reiterated the story when I talked to him at the Velvet Revolver show in KCK just last year.

Trust me, the story is legitimate.  Axl Rose called her personal number and let her have it.  Big Boss, Gigger , Mysteron, Jarmo, someone back me up.

nevermind im gay !
are you serious get a grip allready.the joke was funny yesterday without the gay comment.but not now it's not funny but pathetic.he is in no way gay people.gawd i hate that when people say he is gay.not funny at all.

And then who could possibly have told  the dj about the "personal call"? Sheryl, or?

I think this is total bullshit.


I remember that Axl said that he was always wondering why other bands don't make covers from their songs and that would be interesting when he was asked a question concerning that thing. (Or was it Steven Tyler.. :confused:)

yes I did :P


Sorry I live in Europe, the only time I've seen Kurt Loder was on the vmas with gnr, on a  video I downloaded from the internet. :P

No way!!  Kurt "Swallow my" Loder is gay?  Who would have guessed?!

Swallow my loder, that's very funny. :hihi:

Look, Johnny's a great guy, but he has no insider information about Guns N' Roses.  Take his comments with a grain of salt.

No one will back you up, because it's simply not true. The DJ probably made it up.

I've been around GN'R message boards / mailing lists / newsgroups since early 1999. If Axl had made such comments, trust me I would remember it.

I recall hearing this rumor.? Don't remember reading anything that proved it happened or suggested it was true, though.

(For the record, I've been visiting the various incarnations of HTGTH since '98 or so.? The site looks better with each year that passes, Jarmo.? ?: ok: )

I've worked at this radio station for a while now, and I've been hanging around these boards a long time, just don't post much.  Know why?  Cuzz radio stations, even the major ones, don't know a thing that people on these boards don't.  When you hear something on the radio it is almost certainly taken from a place like this.  There's a common misconception that just because someone hears something on the air, the person who said it must know Axl personally.  Clearly, this couldn't be further from the truth.  I've been around radio long enough to know that program directors and music directors who espouse they heard something from their "record rep" are usually full of shit.  No one knows what's going with this record except those closest to Axl, and these people are NOT djs.

A Damn Great post that must be read. thanks. :yes:

I think is good that artists make covers of GNR songs, even if isn't any good, that's publicity for them.

"Gay" comment above
Not directed at Axl..
Rather Kurt Loder.

It's terrible how lies get around  >:(

How can you remember something that never happened? And then get so many people to debate it? About a month ago I asked people if they remembered that story about Axl working on 2 songs on Chris Cornell's solo album. I got crucified for it. And everyone just laps this Sheryl Crow shit up. STRANGE!

Everyone laps wooody's funnies.  That's it.

Milli Vanilli won a grammy too, whats your point? ::)

1. This didnt happen
2. Great post by alienv49. That post should be saved and posted as a reminder in every thread that starts with "I just heard on -------- radio station..........."
3. The song that Sheryl Crow sang the night of the MTV awards was "Safe and Sound" and yes it was a great performance. I've said it numerous times, I would love to hear Axl sing this song.
