Here Today... Gone To Hell!

There are several songs from VR that I can Definatley hear Axl singing on Like "Slither","Set Me Free" and Especially "Come On Come in". To me, Those songs could be on a GN'R Album (If Gn'R were still together). Man, Just think of What We could of had if the old band was back together.  :yes: Anyone else notice some songs That Remind you of GN'R?

You can hear Axl on the tracks?

Uh oh... you better go see someone about that hearing problem :D

Yeah that's exactly what i ment, AXL IS SINGING ON VR SONGS!  :no:  You're a Genieus  ::)

GNR are still together last time I checked.  ::)

I remember first listening to Contraband and comparing it with GnR, the old Guns sound is still there and I could imagine Axl singing all VR songs. You can imagine what it'd sound like with Axl singing...fuckin awesome. Scott's a fantastic vocalist too but he hasn't the same range as Axl has when he's on form!

Hey thanks for actually responding to the thread? in a Sensible way.
unlike others who want to wine instead of actually contributing the a thread.

 But Anyway, When I first listened to "Contraband" I thought it was the futhermost? thing from GN'R. But as I got use to it, I could hear alot of similarities to old GN'R. Especially Slash's Riffs. OMG, "Come on Come in" is one of the best Vocals of scott's (other than "Loving the Alien") IMO. VR is very different, But alot the same as old GN'R in some ways. I like it!

I've always thought the same thing about some of the Snakepit songs, not so much with VR though, personally I think Scott fits those songs a lot better than Axl would.

I contributed humour.  We all need it.  You do more than most it seems...

But in response... yeah... ... no.  I dont' think Contraband sounds at all like GnR.  I think VR sound like themselves.  They don't sound like GnR in my opinion.  I hope Slash is let out of the bag on Libertad.  Tho I do love contraband ... I was listening to tunes like Coma, and Locomotive, and Dont' Damn Me... these tunes are amazing Slash tunes, that only Slash could create... and I really wish he'd kick some of that shit out :)

I don't understand comments like this. Is there a need to even post? You understand what he was trying to say.

I love the new lineup of Guns N' Roses. But they are the new lineup. I really don't see any connection between GNR now and GNR then. They might as well be different bands. And they are! Maybe if the lyrics were different I could picture Axl singing over it. Scott's lyrics are sometimes strange

You obviously understood what the guy was trying to say and yet you choose to be rude and sarcastic.

As for the topic at hand... I really don't hear Axl singing on very many tracks. I think Matt's drumming kills Contraband... too robotic... so it's hard to picture Axl singing over it. 

I dont understand comments like 'If GNR were still together' because GNR IS together.  I saw them 4 times this year.     When you make a comment like that, you just sound ignorant because GNR is very much alive and well.

VR is VR..  I don't think they sound like Gn'R... Scott fits the songs they wrote well but I bet they could kick more ass with Axl....

p.s.  Gn'R is dead...

*******
GNR is not dead yet, you can always hope for a reunion. :yes:
But GNR is in a COMA right now, that is for sure. :'(

Things have been way worse in the past!

Now Axl has a band and he will release a record with that band after years of recording! :o
Slash and Duff have a band and they are recording another record and they will tour in 2007!? :D
Izzy is joining Axl's band onstage a lot of times;? :D
Even Steven has a band!? :hihi:

So, like I said, things have been way worse in the past!  :rofl:

***********

gnr as we knew and loved is dead.

the new gnr breed is alive and kicking.

I think parts of "Big Machine" sound a bit like "You Could Be Mine."

"Illegal I Song" sounds a lot like STP.

"Sucker Train Blues" is similar to "Garden of Eden"

"Set Me Free" also has a similar style to "It's So Easy."

I don't know what the big deal...you have a lot of the same members, of course, there's going to be similarities.

Sucker Train is the most GNR sounding song off Contraband.

I agree with that assessment, and I think it's the best track on the album. 

BTW, congrats to all the bastards who've once again turned a reasonable thread into an old GNR vs. new GNR fight...withing the space of one page! 

Is it ever possible to just talk about the music without the loonies on either extreme turning it into a fight? 

No it's not possible here if the title of the thread contains words VR and Gn'R.. It's always the same idiots fighting about these things.

sucker train blues is great. i love it

every VR song could have axl on vocals, goddamnit it's his original band!

Yeah that's right, one different guitarist, thats all. Its old GnR without Axl if you look at it that way. They sound different cos they've Scott and Dave but they are the band that was Guns n Roses with Axl so...

I think Set Me Free could've been a GN'R song. It has a bit of a You Could Be Mine vibe to it, the way it starts with the riff on it's own, then the rest of the band kicks in, and has the big rock out bit at the end. Suckertrain Blues sounds a bit like a UYI era rocker too.

VR sounds more like STP than GNR, but,  I can imagine Axl on Slither, Sucker Train Blues, Loving the Alien, and Fall to Pieces.

No one ever felt that that Dirty Little Thing sounds a little like It's so easy? It's not exact but I think it has totally the same vibe...The beginning, Bridge...get away from the drugs - see me hit you etc

you too, sarcasm is a nice car ::)
this thread is an insult to gnr btw!

The only VR song i can hear axl singin is set me free, for me thats the only decent song VR have ( and its still pretty shit really), just my opinion. Scott weilands just never had his own style, visually and vocally. On some of the VR tracks i think hes actually tryin to sound like axl.

Yeah, Dirty Little Thing does have a bit of an It's So Easy vibe about it, now that you mention that bit. Plus both start with Duff's bass line.

All this has made me go back and check out Contraband again, and I still stand by my words that it's a solid rock album from start to finish with moments of greatness.

I think VR have a tough job ahead of them to come out with a new lead single for Libertad that will top Slither.
