Hey Jarmo surely there can't be any GNR knowledge u don't know?! Axl will be asking you stuff soon!

yeah jarmo's just freaky.

You know your stuff jarmo

That doesn't count, seeing as how they co-wrote it. :P

AFI covered My Michelle

Yeah that seriously wasn't a bad version of My Michelle. :)

John Mayer's "patience" was a piece of shit. He sucks.

-EM

LA guns also covered My Michelle

Here are some more..

Sweet Child O' Mine - Akasha feat. Neneh Cherry, Linkin Park, Coldplay & Moby
It's So Easy - Faster Pussycat & Kid Rock
Welcome To The Jungle - Alice Cooper & Oasis

Linkin Park shouldn't be allowed to play that song or any Gn'R song for that matter

I've seen a local band (not worthy of mention) play You Could Be Mine.  
Oh, by the way, IT SUCKED!

i know this new hot-shot band always covers them.. oo yea their name is Velvet Revolver  ;D

A.L.R.

I'm just checking this one out just now. AFI are a great band! This is a pretty good cover...

When did AFI cover my michelle

Damn your right! I got the album the other day and sure enough Danny Clarke who co wrote it is Asphalt Ballet's guitarist.

Its a great er...'cover' they do, deffinetly worth checking out.

I am a Manic Street Preachers fan.. recommend their albums Everything Must Go and This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours

They are big GNR fans.. I have a book of theirs which has an old photo of them.. their bassist Nicky has all pics over his wall.. and I noticed some sort of postcard sized Axl/Arnie YCBM/T2 pic/promo..

In their show NYE 99 at Millenium Stadium, Wales, their singer James Dean Bradfield broke a string on his guitar and while waiting pointed to himself and said "Axl Rose guys" and started doing the Axl-swaying thing he does.

lol.. why i went on about this I dont know.. i need to go to bed  :-\

I'd really like to hear Kid Rocks version of Its so Easy

I have a Linkin Park cover version of Sweet Child O' Mine. They don't know the words or guitar parts.

And you obviously can't rap to it, so Mike Shinoda (knobend rapper) ended it by saying 'That's enough of that shit'.

Interesting comment, Mike. Because thats one example of shit that is so damn good that you have not a hope of even coming near it.

Velvet revolver: At the moment and only live, thy've covered I used to love her and It's so easy :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

I remember someone on this board talking about how Pink butchered Welcome to the jungle in a concert

yeah I heard about that to I was just about to say that my self, I wonder if the strokes will still cover November Rain I hope  :(

Alice only covered Jungle live, I've never heard it. I do know he is jealous that he didn't write it though.

I once heard over the radio a hard metal band cover November Rain but I have no idea what the name of the band was, sorry.

Im sure this has been covered before, but I havent seen it in awhile...

I dont believe this site has a comprehensive list of GNR songs covered by others, so perhaps we can compile one here. 

Feel free to include live versions (provided the audio is out there), and if its a bootleg, please post it.

Off the top of my head I can think of:

Asphalt Ballet - Crash Diet (Never sure what the deal what this track was; my guess is that it was written primarily by Wes Arkeen, with assistance from the Asphalt Ballet guys.  So technically, its probably more of a Asphalt Ballet song anyway and how Axl got into the mix, Im still unsure.  Anyone have more info?)

Sheryl Crow - Sweet Child O' Mine (The most high-profile of the GNR covers?)

L7 - Used To Love Him

Hole - Paradise City (A live "joke" cover thats actually not that bad, particularly when Melissa Auf Der Mar is singing)

Manic Street Preachers - Its So Easy

AFI - My Michelle (Pretty decent from what I remember)

I've heard that live "joke" cover by Hole and it was the biggest piece of shit I've ever heard, not sure which version you listened to my friend.

Shakira covered Welcome to the Jungle live a few times..poorly

Dont forget Area 54 who covered Madagascar :-*

That would've been interesting.

Thanks for the list, Axe  :beer:

Patience - Perfect Crime (shameless plug for my friends' band)

I think The Beautiful Mistake's cover of Estranged is quite good as an Estranged cover can be.

I covered Mr. Brownstone and Think About You for an acoustic demo, does that count? Well probably not... :hihi:

D has a copy of that, but he better not upload it!  :-[

Metallica have covered a little bit of Welcome To The Jungle in 1995 at the Donington festival.

dont forget richard cheese, welcome to the jungle, or big daddy welcome to the jungle/ lion sleeps tonight

When did Alice Cooper cover WTTJ? Was it live or on an album?


 :peace:

Do you have a copy of the coldplay version?

Jonx

does anyone have the kid rock its so easy version?..  and i can't remember exactly what gnr songs were played.. but capmp freddy has coverd a bunch of gnr... that prob shouldn't count since slash and duff usually played during those songs.

What about Avril Lavinge's Knockin on Heavens' Door? You could say it doesnt count, but she probably didn't even know it was originally by Bob Dylan

Velvet Revolver use to play Mr. Brownstone too...and don?t forget Addler?s Apettite!! they play a lot of Guns covers!!  :rofl:

haha, yeah, and lets not forget Axl's band, a lotta covers there too.  ;D

I don't like most GNR covers,  Sheryl Crow's version of "Sweet Child o Mine" was ok though.

cypress hill covered paradise city with slash, duff and matt.
limp bizshit covered the beginning of sweet child o`mine.

and i`ve got a cover of madagascar whcih is sung by a woman.... i don`t know if it`s area 54

I would love to hear the Manic's Doing It's So Easy
If Anyone knows where I can get it, please PM me

It's available on the Lipstick Traces - A Secret History of Manic Street Preachers album.



/jarmo

When did alice cooper do welcome to the jungle? Does anyone have a copy of it please?


 :peace:

Every time I die - I used to love her

Sputnik sigue - Rocket Queen - Quite normal! nothing outrageous and it's very industrial stuff  : ok:

is the area 54 version sung by a woman?

Tenacious D - Mr. Brownstone, opening of SCOM


Edit to add:  Shooter Jennings and the .357's - Paradise City

I havnt a clue man. I just mentioned it because I remember reading about that band covering it on here.

Aren't Coldplay GN'R fans?

Anal Cunt-My world...........but when you here it its only 14sec of rahhhhh :hihi:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWDAI_cmU0Y? ? ?What do you think?

Title edited by Ignatius

Not bad. GN'R is all of a sudden becoming very popular to be seen with with/cover. Are we going to see a "GN'R is cool again" trend with celebrities and media?

I thought they did a really good job  :D


I wasn't expecting a very good rendition, so that's a nice surprise.

Cool post...

I was expecting to hate it...but kinda dug it...now I have to go listen to UUI2 ;)

I didn't think it was toooo bad.

Makes me really want to hear the current GN'R do it though! Axl would nail it with the voice on show in NY!

Nah, it's cool to see bands covering gn'r. It's not as worse as some other gn'r covers but watching the original band playing it, makes them look like twelve year old kids:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DsjZ7pLiOs&search=civil%20war%20guns

I thought they did a good job! : ok:

Civil War doesn't work acousticly. the band was ok, singer sucks.

It was ok, but the singer was weak.

Yeah, I didn't like the singer either :-\

The cover was a such ok, but nothing special. It misses the power that is in the song when GNR did it (will do it?). In general, Hoobastank just played it exactly like the original. I allways like it when a band makes an own version of a cover song.

If they did it differently people would complain also  :hihi:

Considering they only have one guitar player, I liked the arrangement with the bass playing Izzy's guitar melody and how they turned the theme solo into a riff. So, they did a couple of cool things with it.

i though it was pretty damn good. nice cover. and the singer isn't bad, he's just not Axl. but the can carry a tune.

pretty cool, they have been respectful to the song, and the singer's voice is very nice.

finally, a good gnr cover

sounds cool :beer:

Music is ok. The singer seemed to play it safe, he definately could have pushed it a bit further.

i thought it was acceptable but the singer sucks

i really hate the singer, always have he ruins their band

I love Civil War and that song is the reason I miss Slash so much

Not bad at all. I hate covers and I actually thought I was gonna puke as soon as I listened to it, but it surprised me. That was quite nice.  : ok:

The new band really should play this live. There's the three solo's and the outro... R, R & R would kick ass on it.

ok.
mushy tho.

OK I'm gonna have to be the bad guy then! That sucked balls! The singer sucks, and there was absolutely no energy in the music, REM would have done a more upbeat cover!

it was a nice cover i think. i like what they did with the song. i like how it sounds acoustic. maybe we'll get to hear gnr playing it, if not acoustic at least play it :drool:

i thought it sucked.

This is funny too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6siHZon_PQ&search=civil%20war%20guns

The Hoobastank cover sucks.....wonder what it would've sounded like if Johnny Cash covered it with Rick Rubin producing...... :drool:

I think that one is cute  :)

Funniest part of that is seeing Steven trip over his own drumkit, I bet the band made the decision about him shortly after this  :hihi:

i love it. Hoobastank has a new supporter in me  ;D

I thought it was a great cover.  It made me want to hear the original :-) : ok:

Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. All in all it was ok.

Great cover.  I don't like Hoobastank, even skipped them when they opened for VR, but impressed.  It's a kick ass song.  I wish GN'R would add it to the set.

Yeh I thought it was pretty cool I must admit! Mike

Did anyone stop to think about that this might be another stab at Weiland on Hoobastanks part? Their new single "If I Were You" is a song about how much Hoobastanks lead singer thinks Weiland sucks. So I wonder if they covered GNR to further piss on Weiland?

Not bad - Does make you want to listen to original after.

I thought it was actually pretty darn good.  I liked the fact they chose to play a song that is not normally covered...albeit acoustically.  They arranged it well and the singer wasnt that bad...jeez what did everyone expect?  Him to put on an Axl voice?!

It was good instrumentally, but the signer sounded 16, like every signer does these days.

I dug it... anybody got a mp3 of it they can post?

they did a really good job...that song is so timely today...but i mean its the best gn'r cover i've seen by a major act

They did great.  Everyone here give Hoobastank shit, but after hearing that, I give a little more credit.  Good job.

This is MUCH cooler:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oKSfa-wfJY&search=carrie%20underwood%20guns%20n%20roses

carrie RULES!

hahaha  :hihi:

makes you cringe doesn't it?  I think she did patience also.

the Hoobastank acoustic was actually pretty damn good in a weird way.  I'm glad to see people appreciating Guns...especially the younger folks out there. 

On the Underwood front...unless she's buck-naked singing it on video, I can't allow myself to watch!  I'd be like Indiana Jones all tied up telling Marion, "Don't open your eyes!"  :hihi:

Someone needs to tell that guitarist that it's not a race.

He's playing that opening riff way to fast.

Hoobastank is an awful band, not even considering this cover.

That was painful...are you guys tone deaf? 

"That guy can't sing but it was good."  Huh?  How can he not sing but it be good?  That was a trainwreck.

 :no:

I saw it awhile ago at blabbermouth.net. I know I read something elsewhere too (maybe Billboard?). But from what I understand the guys in Hoobastank are nonetofond of Mr. Weiland. Here's the link to the blabbermouth story at least:

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=49093

Ohh my god, it makes me want to puke

for me they did a graet job........the people who said they suck.......is just because they have theis mind like a rock ....imposible

When I saw Hoobastank, the guitarist had a GN'R shirt on, so they're obviously huge fans.

I think the cover was awesome, personally.  Too bad their originals aren't as good.

I was actually a little surprised.

That was really good.

its not bad, definitely hope they dont cover anymore gnr songs though.  its amazing how bad covers of gnr songs are, i mean even cover bands are bars ... if they play bon jovi it songs pretty good, but a gnr song its like get off the stage.

it was much more sedated...  I didn't like it very much...

This is exactly why I love this forum so much more than the 'my gnr' forum. Most people here were open minded enough to listen to the cover and at least respect it where as in the other forum everybody's on Axl's dick so much that they automatically wrote it off. I, myself, think it's a pretty good cover and I'm glad people here are open minded enough to really give it a shot before writing it off. I never really liked Hoobastank but a good cover is a good cover. This one is good and therefore it will get some play time on my play list. This is all my opinion, of course.......

As opposed to "if it sounds anything like GNR it's brilliant" mindset?

Here's another great live Hoobastank performance from the VMA's a few years ago. ?I think they're last in the medley.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiw724gbFl0&search=hoobastank

Funny...that's exactly why I thought everyone was loving this cover here...because the blind love for GNR.  I figured everyone was hanging on the balls of this just because it's a GNR song in some way, shape or form....and to be honest I think that's why the majority of people here are digging it. 

Believe me, i am not someone who hears a cover of gnr and automatically hates it because it's not axl singing etc. I am also not someone that hears a cover of gnr and automatically likes it just cause it is a gnr song.

That said, this is one of the most pathetic covers of gnr i've ever heard. their singer is what is wrong with mainstream rock and roll these days and for the past decade in general. i'm not sure i have ever heard as bland of a voice as this guys on this cover. wow. i am truly suprised so many people like this. this guy has nothing at all signature on his voices. sounds like any other joe shmoe local bar singer. terrible.

Of all the crappy covers of gnr songs...this isn't very crappy at all. Nice to hear a stripped version, but I wish it was Axl.

this was a very cool version!
I dident know Hoobastank could make good music
but i guess i could give them one more chance..

Does anybody have that version of civil war on mp3?

                         Its ok....I thought. Least it was better than some of the Guns n Roses covers I've heard the past few years. You can eithor do a kick ass cover of Guns n Roses are you can do a Sherl Crow " Sweet Child of Mine " cover and make you consider horrible punishment for those responsible.

Her covers of both Sweet Child and D'yet M'ker are (IMO) some of the worst covers EVER.

I dont like he vocally does the song, just blah.

Nice work ...

i just think is great seeing that new bands are GN'R fans ...

I think it's a good cover : ok:

I think it is so hard to do a good GnR cover because Axl is so original, but it's not too bad..

I'm sorry, but I thought that was a travesty!! Yes its nice to see people doing that cuz it "raises awareness" of Gn'R, but.... oh my fucking GOD did Hoobastank STINK at that!! The singer... he stripped the song of all its passion!! There was NO emotion in that guy's voice at fucking all!! Where the fuck are his balls!? Is he afraid to show emotion? If so then he should NOT be a singer!!

Watching the other video... the one where its actually Gn'R playing it... sent shivers down my spine and brought tears to my eyes! I've seen it before, but seeing it directly after watching Hoobastink BUTCHER it... it just made it all the better.



Axl, if you read this, please please please PLEASE include Civil War in future setlists! (Especially for the Hammersmith Apollo gig! :beer: )

me neither.  the band played it well.. but you miss Axl's voice.

I thought it was a pretty decent version, it's pretty difficult to do anything different w/ Civil War than what GnR did, let alone doing it acoustically w/ only one guitarist!!! Civil War is my fav guns song ever and it's nice to see something different done w/ it. I know u kinda miss Axl's voice and this guy doesnt have that axl flare, but who does?

like i ve said, its very difficult to do a gnr song, i dont think i heard a version that is really any good.  its easier to do other bands, but gnr is just way different

I thought it sucked to be honest, sounded like an amateur band at some lower east side bar on a wednesday night.  no "oomph" at all to it.  If you're going to cover a kick ass song by a kick ass band it better be a kick ass cover...this wasn't

EXACTLY HannaHat!

Only HoobastInk wouldn't know Oomph if it came and kicked them all in the nuts!

they arent a metal band, they werent goin for an over the top image, they wanted a slow smooth sounding version of a kick ass song

This fuckin sucks balls.

Seriously.

no power no emotion

It sucks!

 :no: Very Boring.   Very Bad.

I thought that it sums up what's wrong with music nowadays, and why we need Axl to come back.  Everything is so bland and generic.  Everyone sounds the same.  That guy's voice from Hoobastank is a dime a dozen in the "rock" world nowadays.

Not bad at all.
Much easier to listen to than someone trying to imitate Axl's voice.

Thats what I was thinking. If you get some of the "tribute" CDs to GNR those guys will make you WISH the guy from Hoobastank was handling the leads!

Might be easier to listen to than someone trying to imitate Axl, but there IS a way to sing in a different style and STILL make it sound good.

That Hoobastink singer just had no fucking emotion in his voice AT ALL!! At first, I thought he'd GET some emotion going, but.... nothing... not AT ALL!! ZILCH!

Ironic... by the end of that it just made me want to go out and go kill someone!! :hihi: I had to remedy that straightaway by shoving UYI2 on and listening to the REAL Civil War. : ok:

.....Hoobastank....... says it all really? :no:

It "stank" big time  :hihi:

ever here VR do "It's So Easy" live? :hihi:  they do a great job of that and Brownstone ;D

Well, if anyone was crazy enough to think of such a crazy question... the result would be this...
http://youtube.com/watch?v=bZpCjS4WcG4&search=my%20michelle%20guns
Please, butcher My Michelle some more... I implore you...  >:(
...in conclusion, screamo sucks!

well, i thought it was gonna rock...till that guy started to sing.  aweful  :hihi: :rant:

LOL!! :rofl: that totally sucks!

The band was pretty good and I liked the singer's energy. Too bad he can't sing.  :'( 
He should be fined. I mean, bands can do what they want, but when it's criminal they should have to pay. The money could be used to help educate people about the original versions of butchered cover songs.

Sweet Jesus, my ears need cleaning after listening to that.

The first 90 seconds of that were totally useless.

My God, he sounds like the N64 Kid (http://youtube.com/watch?v=B6JVH2K2cjg&search=n64%20kid).

That's fucking embarassing.  It's a shame, the band did a respectable job with the music but fuck that singer sucks

lolololololololololololololololololololollolololololololololololollololololololollolololololollolol ololololollololololollololololollolololololololololollolololololololollolololo :rofl: :hihi: :rofl: :hihi: :rofl: :hihi: :rofl: :hihi: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :'( :'( :'( :no: :no: :no: :o :o :o ??? ??? ??? :-[ :o >:( :( :D :rofl: :no: :rofl: :nervous: :confused: :crying: :drool:       
I SWEAR TO GOD IM BETTER THAN HIM I SWEAR!!!!!!!

Wow. That got a outloud "Oh My God" from me! haha. how can anyone butcher a classic that bad? Damn screamo lame kids.

if anybody deserves a bullet between the eyes   it's that bastard .   

Is there any question now as to why the guys from Avenged Sevenfold ripped this Dillinger band or whatever their name is?  Their lead singer is the worst thing I've ever seen

Embarassing is an understatement! ?The introduction was okay until the singer opened his mouth. ?I guess they think they're pretty cool. ? ::)

(http://www.lewrockwell.com/rogers/mr-t.jpg)

"I pity tha fools"

Yes, that performance was pretty bad. Infact, it was shit.

I wouldn't even say the guitars were that good ( a few mistakes )

But god, the vocals sucked

What amazes me most is there's actually a market for this kind of shit.  People actually pay money to watch that  :nervous:

sadly, you are right.

I know people that 'enjoy' this 'music'

embarrasing shit, i actually feel more bad for the people paying to see this than the guy himself. sad. :no:

dont forget this is the same guy that sang "epic" for faith no more...dillinger is just his latest project...oh yeah and he turned down a chance to try out for velvet revolver.

That wasn't Mike Patton

A.F.I did a much better cover.

I think the best overall GNR cover I've ever heard is Paradise City by a nobody band called 18 Visions. It's on one of the 4,000 GNR "tribute" albums out there. I think it's pretty bad ass though.

That Dillinger band sucks...why does he do that with a song like My Michelle? He completely wrecks it!

That was just awful.

Listen to 15/5 My Michelle and Axl's awesome vocals, joined of course by Baz.. now that's how it should be done.

I've heard the used to love her in punk regge stuff and it really give me the creeps that really sucks  :nervous: :puke:

That has got to be the funniest thing i've ever seen  :rofl: :rofl:

it starts out ok(ish) but when the singer (if thats what you can call him) comes in  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

List artists who you've seen/heard cover a GN'R song.
List which song(s) they did.
Did you particularly like or dislike their rendition?

Sheryl Crow - SCOM (hated it)

Velvet Revolver- It's So Easy, Used To Love Her, Mr. Brownstown (very good)

VR with Cypress Hill - Paradise City (not bad)

Gilby Clarke - It's So Easy, KOHD (decent)

Bugsy - SCOM

Mad Cow Dizeaze 182 - My Michelle (hilarious)

Voodoo Glowskulls - Used To Love Her (HORRIBLE!)

Greyscale - Mr. Brownstone

Most Precious Blood - SCOM (bad)

there are a few GNR Tribute albums I've browsed through at record stores but never listened all the way through.
I know there is a Hardcore one (that has Most Precious Blood on it), an orchestral one, and i think an Industrial one called "Appetite For Deconstruction".
Can anyone comment on those?

AFI

Right.

 AFI - My Michelle on Punk Goes Metal comp.

i liked it.

You forgot Richard Cheese  ;D

I uploaded his Vegas-style cover of Welcome To The Jungle on this board sometime last week. Check it out, its cool  : ok:

American Idol 2006 (i think) - Patience, hated it, guess i'm not the only one :hihi:

Can't believe I forgot Richard Cheese.. and

Pat Boone - Paradise City

Midwinter just posted their symphonic power metal cover of Sweet Child O' Mine on myspace a couple of days ago.

Mogwai covered Don't Cry.

Manic Street Preachers covered It's So Easy.

Why the hell can't I think of any that don't begin with M? :(

Eighteen Visions - Paradise City

I liked it and AFI's version of My Michelle too...

Mogwai's Don't Cry was cool

I got that back in the hayday of Napster.

Seen the Manic Street Preachers play "its so easy" - it was ok. not great

Hole playing "paradise city" at big day out in Australia in 1999 (i think) - Courtney or melissa sarcastically introduced it as "our greatest hit". it was quite slow, which was weird - but Courtney's voice could cover the notes ?- easy. not nearly the amount energy you want to hear when its live though!

there's a very nast clubby remix of SCOM - no idea who its by - its really 90's house sound and its a fkn disgrace. Hope that no-one else has had the misfortune of hearing it. Think it was out in the late 90's.

oh and Jane's Addiction at big day out in Oz in 2003 - they walked onstage and perry said "you know where you are" in amongst his chats with the crowd and Dave Navarro immediately started playing the opening riff of WTTJ - the crowd BAYED for more. ?was a cool teaser.

I wish Hayseed Dixie would cover Gnr - their Ace of Spades is Genius!

The Mother Goose Pickers have done Silkworms, Madagascar and Better.  Bluegrass/Techno style.  I like Madagascar the best.

I was a Local H concert in Milwaukee where they covered It's So Easy once.  That was honestly one of the best GnR covers I've ever seen.

they are on myspace right?.. a link maybe?

Ok. If we're counting our own stuff.
this is pretty terrible, but you may find it funny.

New Skool Hip Hop version of "It's So Easy" i did on the Mac.

www.myspace.com/mothergoosepickers

We interviewed their bass player on the EMS podcast.

The two newest covers I've heard are:

John5 (former Marilyn Manson/Rob Zombie guitarist) ''Welcome To The Jungle'' (The Devil Knows My Name) 2007
Midwinter (french heavy metal band with a 20 years old female singer) ''Sweet Child O' Mine'' (The Glassy Waters) 2007

I LOVED the John5 version, and Midwinter's version of scom has some good parts (the solo, the gutural ''where do we go'' voice) and some bad parts (the intro, the singer's voice, etc)

eighteen visions covered paradise city

aaron lewis from staind covered patience at his solo acoustic shows this year

Bang Tango does a great cover of Mr brownstone. ?
when Axl says he is waiting for the right time to release the album, does this mean that he releases it when Metallica, V.R. and other simular artist are hitting or does he wait and go out alone in stores?

Hoobastank - Civil War

hell yeah, i loved john5's wttj too, what he plays sounds like axls singing, people should check it out

In 1998 Marilyn Manson wanted to cover "One In A Million"...Later...nothing happen...

Country singer Carrie Underwood sings Sweet Child O Mine and Patience in concert regularly.  Does a decent job of it too.


Don't forget Fergie mangling SCOM........ shiver.

moby-sweet child o' mine

Deep Purple - Sweet Child O'Mine

Mylo did a live electronic version of Sweet Child on Radio 1 live lounge a couple of years ago.

I've seen the Offspring cover pieces of SCOM in concert.

Did someone already mention Pat Boone's cover of Paradise City?

N-Trance sampled Paradise City.

I know Rodrigo y Gabriela do a GNR cover but I'm not sure which one.

I remember reading about that years ago... I wonder if there are any demos floating around

At least it sounds like he knows the song. That's not always the case with GN'R covers....  :hihi:

Listen toa funny guy at the end (6:01) of the video saying "Is Axl Rose come out next or what?"

Guns n?Roses since ever is a band who knows his influences and always did a very awesome covers, a lot of them, better then original performances. So, why in this fucking bleeding hell of a world, GnR is not allowing Halestorm sell their cd with GnR?s cover OUT TA GET ME ????????????????? Im a fucking gunner since 24 years ago and Halestorm is my favorite band no. 2, why the fucking hell they must fight? ITS A TRIBUTE, LZZY HALE RECORD GUNS N ROSES CAUSE SHE LOVES AXL !!!!!!! FUCKING BUSINESS PEOPLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO MADE THIS SHIT?????????????? Hope not be censored.

Halestorm did a great job with their cover of Out ta Get Me.  They also covered Slave to the Grind by Skid Row.

Jarmo, any truth to GnR holding up the sale of the cd? 

I think it's just a disgruntled fan bringing up old news...




/jarmo

Thanks Jarmo.  I just checked and you can still purchase the EP from Amazon or iTunes, so unless someone can provide some proof to the contrary (conclusory forum posts do not count), doesn't look like GnR (or anyone) is holding up the sale of the CD.   

This was originally reported years ago, something about them not being "allowed" to release a physical EP, only digital.

How do you create publicity for your EP? You blame Axl for something. Instantly you get mentioned more than just by releasing your EP....






/jarmo

Yeah, i don?t know when it happened, i didnt tell that is new, i just ask why. about the phisical cd and only digital is true, i checked. i just dont understand why it happened. a lot of people tell a lot of crap bout axl and i never heard them. my most huge affraid before met him were and if he really is all that people tell bout him....well, he is not. he is cool, funny sweet and we had a very coll moments. but, unfortunatelly, there?s a lot of people in gnr team. so, that?s why i asked. i didnt blame axl and people from halestorm didnt blame him too, at least, not for me. in fact, i m complaining, not people from hs. and im complaining cause a duo between axl and lzzy hale should be awesome.

She did talk shit on Axl afterwards.  She bitched about the "miscommunication" and dedicated "OUT TA GET ME" to Axl Rose on stage(12-11-11).  Lucky she is still allowed to sell it digitally.  You copy and post this exact same thing on ParadiseCity after disappearing for how long?  It's like you can either make friends or stir up trouble..anyway I think you are a good person.  I'm sorry the CD costs $100 but if I ever find one I'll sell it to you for $50.

i posted there n here. what did u mean with :  "You copy and post this exact same thing on ParadiseCity after disappearing for how long?  It's like you can either make friends or stir up trouble..anyway I think you are a good person."

people who use here n there r exactly the same? note, in any moment i blame axl, i just want to know why he did that and what i think about this case is that probably axl didnt take a decision by himself, theres a lot of people around him, and sometimes it looks like this is a problem, too many people using his power. i am just a fan, didnt know about all this shit n got sad cause 2 of my idols dont like each other. im still a gunner forever, no matter how many incompetent people stay around axl, he is the god, these people, well, nevermind. nobody can judge me. i always defend axl in discussion about his delays or anything else, im his most loyal soldier, but i love lzzy too. i dont care what people think about it, just asked why it happened. if she used it with out consent or if she should pay for n didnt, just that. axl doesnt need her, she doesn?t need axl and the most important, i dont need a blessing from anyone that is not involved.

My point was that you were given hundreds of "likes" on Paradise City and people welcome you as a friend on there and here, and all these people post all this really cool stuff in the last month, photos/videos/stories from Vegas/etc and instead of acknowledging anything, you ignore them all and come up with "this".  It just make you seem like a grouch.

I hate to speculate but GN'R does not let just any band cover their songs and sell them.  "Appetite" is one of the greatest selling selling albums of all time.  Adding a song from "Appetite" to a pretty much "paint-by-the-numbers" pop rock bands record will help them much more than it will help GN'R.  That is why you don't see it happening more often, if at all.

Well, I like a post when I think that I should, as I said before, this is old news but I just knew that now and I got really sad, again, cause my idols don?t like each other. Do u think that im grouch, wow, maybe I will not sleep tonight. You dont know nothing about me to judge me. Yes Im too grouch. All I can do is laugh after that. I didnt judge Axl, Lzzy, I just got upset!!!! I JUST ASK WHY!!!!! I will return to your happy world and hit the like button a billion times!!!!!
People who is my friend, still are my friend, the way I am, not because I hit a fucking button !!!!!! Man, you are outstanding !!!!

The only guy who covered gnr successfully is Paul Mcartney, oh wait...doh! :P
