Title: Something to hold everyone over untill CD! Post by: Jonx on December 02, 2006, 06:49:23 AM http://www.stereogum.com/
Good for a laugh! Bossa N' Roses We've all got that special someone in our life for whom Axl is everything; ya know, that loved one that enjoys antagonizing GN'R openers and hopes beyond hope that Chinese Democracy comes out before the new year. It's for that person that we bring you the premiere of two tracks from Bossa N' Roses, a collection of electro-bossa covers of GN'R classics; it's a must for your favorite Rose fiend. Either she'll love it (in which case you'll look great), or she'll think it's absurd and you guys will share a great laugh. Or, she'll throw a trash can through your window. Test the waters with these two tracks: Scubba - "Welcome To The Jungle" (808 Remix) (MP3) http://www.stereogum.com/Various%20Artists%20-%20Welcome%20To%20The%20Jungle%20(808%20Remix).mp3 Freedom Dub - Paradise City" (Vibes Edition) (MP3) http://www.stereogum.com/Various%20Artists%20-%20Paradise%20City%20(Vibes%20Edition).mp3 Here's the full tracklist: 01. Intro 02. Sixth Finger (feat. Dew) - "Patience" (Cool Wave Mix) 03. Bando Do Sul (feat. Natascha) - "Sweet Child O? Mine" 04. Scubba - "Paradise City" (Vibes Edition) 05. Gheto Blaster Ltd. - "November Rain" (B&H Version) 06. Glambeats Corp. - "You Could Be Mine" 07. United Rhythms Of Brazil - "Knockin? on Heaven?s Door" 08. Amazonics - "Since I Don?t Have You" (Single Edit) 09. S?o Vicente (feat. Ituana) - "Don?t Cry" 10. Freedom Dub - "Welcome to The Jungle" (808 Remix) 11. Natalie Renoir & DJ Leao - "It?s So Easy" 12. Groove Da Praia - "Used To Love Her" 13. Anekka - "Live and Let Die" (Rua Do Cosmos Mix) 14. Outro Play Santa at iTunes. Better or worse than Buena Vista Social Coldplay?

Post by: AdZ on December 02, 2006, 07:07:32 AM That wasn't nearly as bad as I expected.
It's really the vocal that annoys me. Way too forward in the mix. Title: Re: Something to hold everyone over untill CD! Post by: anythinggoes on December 02, 2006, 07:18:42 AM Maybe im still too hungover but that was not my cup of at all. It sounds like them songs they have playing in Shopping Malls and lifts etc plus you just cant butcher GN'R like that,

Way too forward in the mix. Maybe you've been listening to GNR concerts for too long :P;) Title: Re: Something to hold everyone over untill CD! Post by: Alan on December 02, 2006, 09:28:10 AM it's interesting, not something i'd buy though.

Title: Re: Something to hold everyone over untill CD! Post by: EFISH on December 02, 2006, 11:54:17 AM It was garbage.

But that just might the fact that I hate girl singers.? :-\ you shoul listen to the distillers and that would prolly change your opinion a little about female singers ;) anyway this aint my cup o' tea :no: Title: Re: Something to hold everyone over untill CD! Post by: dave-gnfnr2k on December 02, 2006, 12:03:09 PM These are better than those shitty gnr tribute cds by those no named 80s washed up stars.

LOL, I wondered what that shite was during Cinema adverts and I could swear its this stuff. VERY WEIRD Title: Re: Something to hold everyone over untill CD! Post by: Sweetsister on December 02, 2006, 04:26:37 PM I really loved it.. in a wierd kind of way..

THAT was horrible.? Why are people dead-set on destroying GN'R songs? It's like a contest to see who does it worse! "Hold me over"?? Nothing short of CD itself is going to satiate me. NOTHING. ? ? ? ? ? ? MATT Title: Re: Something to hold everyone over untill CD! Post by: markpeterhughes73 on December 02, 2006, 05:57:44 PM http://www.stereogum.com/ Good for a laugh! No,actually,that wasn't funny. THAT was horrible.? Why are people dead-set on destroying GN'R songs? It's like a contest to see who does it worse! To be fair on these people, imagine all 10,000 fans reading this board were given the opportunity to do their version. Think about it, Godness is in the ear of the beholder and NOT the individual trying to sing SCOM or WTTJ at the Kareoke. I personally think its cool that some people do this shit. its great. Not that I'd buy it, play it, recommend it, pass it on, view it, ebay it, search engine it or even use it to wipe my ass with. Its good that people do this shit, it shows us that GNR are the ONLY ones to do it. THE NEW BAND ROCKS!!!!!!!!!! "Hold me over"?? Nothing short of CD itself is going to satiate me. NOTHING. ? ? ? ? ? ? MATT Title: Re: Something to hold everyone over untill CD! Post by: PJ on December 02, 2006, 06:53:14 PM it was not bad at all
was fun November Rain and Its so Easy are the best songs there some remixes are very very similar but they are FUN Title: Re: Something to hold everyone over untill CD! Post by: joscott on December 02, 2006, 09:28:00 PM I don't think it's that bad. It's just mild and easy going, unlike what most of us are used to. It's like GNR elevator music. Not bad if you're in that kinda mood I'd say.
Title: Re: Something to hold everyone over untill CD! Post by: freedom78 on December 03, 2006, 01:42:57 AM Very odd...can't say I'm interested in owning this.
Title: Re: Something to hold everyone over untill CD! Post by: Disco Volante on December 03, 2006, 03:48:24 AM That was the best thing since sliced 12 grain bread.
Title: Re: Something to hold everyone over untill CD! Post by: dizzy68 on December 03, 2006, 04:11:42 AM Awsome! I think what some people don't understand is that these tracks arn't supposed to be the same as the original. Guns n Roses fans seem to hate alternate versions of any song. But open up your mind and accept these songs for what they are. Classic tunes with a new Flavor. I personally really enjoyed them. : ok: Title: Re: Something to hold everyone over untill CD!

Title: Re: Something to hold everyone over untill CD! Post by: Pinball Wizard on December 03, 2006, 12:11:04 PM This is a good record, but it just isn't Bossa Nova! Tom Jobim must be screaming inside his grave...
Title: Re: Something to hold everyone over untill CD! Post by: axleu on December 03, 2006, 02:50:08 PM Funny stuff! ;D
Title: Re: Something to hold everyone over untill CD! Post by: don_vercetti on December 03, 2006, 04:18:29 PM I find it hard to believe there are people who SERIOUSLY like both this and Guns N Roses. I guess there must be, but maaan. they are so totally different, and tbh the bossa stuff is a bit rubbish.
Title: Re: Something to hold everyone over untill CD! Post by: junglegunner on December 03, 2006, 09:34:08 PM i have posted the rapidshare link a few days ago, serach in appetite for collection :smoking: :beer:
Title: Re: Something to hold everyone over untill CD! Post by: badobsession_r21 on December 04, 2006, 03:09:13 AM nice :) i love it.
Title: Re: Something to hold everyone over untill CD! Post by: dizzy68 on December 04, 2006, 06:01:34 AM I find it hard to believe there are people who SERIOUSLY like both this and Guns N Roses.? I guess there must be, but maaan.? they are so totally different, and tbh the bossa stuff is a bit rubbish.? Axl should just be glad that anyone is doing his music. Isn't that the ultimate compliment? You shouldn't be surprised that some peoples musical taste is vast. I'll Rock out to Guns n Roses but then at night I'll listen to Jazz or classical to fall sleep. In the car I listen to talk radio and as a hobby I collect TV show themes. I like it all. Title: Re: Something to hold everyone over untill CD! Post by: ben9785 on December 04, 2006, 06:05:03 AM It was pretty fun to listen to lol
Nothing you should take seriously.. just something.. to laugh at It works somehow, but yeah.. not really Title: Re: Something to hold everyone over untill CD! Post by: jimb0 on December 04, 2006, 08:24:32 AM This brings me to the knees in front of my toilet throwing up vomitting.
