Title: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: Oh My Choking Soul on February 20, 2008, 10:42:49 AM Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses
I'm generally not one for ironic covers, but Victoria Bergsman's charming, piano-driven take on the G'n'R classic is sweet and earnest enough to warrant a mention. http://www.myspace.com/takenbytreesmusic It's available for purchase through iTunes. ...highly discouraged but if you were inclined to try-out songs by downloading mp3's of Streaming MySpace songs before you buy them... but didn't know how: http://file2hd.com/ Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: Loaded NightraiN on February 20, 2008, 11:06:20 AM I'm at work, so cant listen..
What song?? Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: CheapJon on February 20, 2008, 11:08:34 AM I'm at work, so cant listen.. What song?? sweet child o' mine Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: bananasforaxl on February 20, 2008, 11:32:54 AM I'm at work, so cant listen.. Don't waste your time. It's terrible. Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: Oh My Choking Soul on February 20, 2008, 11:58:15 AM I'm at work, so cant listen.. Don't waste your time. It's terrible. LOL, I completely disagree. If you like Indie music check it out. If you are a die hard Galm Rock or Metal fan forget it. Taken By Trees is a critically acclaimed indie band, but thier music is soft and sweet. For someone to say it's "terrible" just says that they don't like the genre. Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: Loaded NightraiN on February 20, 2008, 12:11:44 PM ^ Do you put all "Indie Music" in one genre basket? if so thats totally unfair..
Alot of it is complete rubbish, but some of it is the best stuff out there... Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: DeN on February 20, 2008, 12:20:54 PM very good cover
Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: Mr. Redman on February 20, 2008, 12:22:15 PM Hell, I thought it was alright, not the best, but totally not the worst I've heard of covers.
Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: MR. GNR on February 20, 2008, 12:22:48 PM i like it.... they really put there own sound to it..... whick is cool....
Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: Voodoochild on February 20, 2008, 12:23:43 PM Not bad... Maybe better than the Sheryl Crow version.

Alot of it is complete rubbish, but some of it is the best stuff out there... No, you're right. I completely agree. I listen to everything from Atlas Sound to Yeasayer. Not bad... Maybe better than the Sheryl Crow version. Agreed. Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: Loaded NightraiN on February 20, 2008, 12:28:04 PM I listen to everything from Atlas Sound to Yeasayer. What, No indie band that begins with "Z"? :P Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: Oh My Choking Soul on February 20, 2008, 12:28:51 PM I listen to everything from Atlas Sound to Yeasayer. What, No indie band that begins with "Z"? :P Ha-ha! Not currently loaded in my iTunes, but yeah there are plenty lol! Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: CheapJon on February 20, 2008, 12:34:43 PM Not bad... Maybe better than the Sheryl Crow version. better then Sheryl Crow, but still bad man IMO Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: journey on February 20, 2008, 01:09:08 PM I like it. She doesn't over sing it. It's an understated and interesting version.
Thank you for posting it - very cool. Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: burnz007 on February 20, 2008, 01:57:31 PM I can't listen at work either, but it amazes me that people would even touch SCOM... it's so perfect already that any cover is going to have a hard time sounding any good.
If I were doing a cover, I would choose a more obscure song. Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: Oh My Choking Soul on February 20, 2008, 02:17:43 PM I can't listen at work either, but it amazes me that people would even touch SCOM... it's so perfect already that any cover is going to have a hard time sounding any good. If I were doing a cover, I would choose a more obscure song. The thing is, most bands would only be inspired by a reasonably small portion of GN'R's catalogue. I don't imagine Taken By Trees would be inspired by Anything Goes or Shotgun Blues. I am surprised that Civil War doesn't get more cover love. Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: ForeverGNR on February 20, 2008, 02:31:22 PM Wow, people... please stop covering SCOM!

If I were doing a cover, I would choose a more obscure song. people cover songs to get publicity and also it's an easy way to get a hit from something that already was a hit Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: ForeverGNR on February 20, 2008, 02:43:16 PM For some odd reason, I'm still listening to her MySpace songs.... so relaxing............ actually pretty good, for some reason :)

Thier album is actually pretty wild, not as run of the mill as some may think. They are very good at what they do. Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: rockNroses on February 20, 2008, 03:36:43 PM One more cover that shows how some people just don't get what the song is about.
Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: Smoking Guns on February 20, 2008, 06:02:06 PM One more cover that shows how some people just don't get what the song is about. Good point. If I was in a coffee shop in Seattle it may be cool. Maybe she is Jarmo's neighbor. She does sing with a cool casual voice. This song is its original form is its greatest. That riff is so damn catchy, even on a damn piano. Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: LIGuns on February 20, 2008, 08:27:11 PM Not bad..Very mellow though..As someone pointed out Civil War and more obscure songs don't get covered often enough..There is a female singer covering CW..I forget her name, but it is a standout on the GN'R cover album.
Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: SpiritDave on February 20, 2008, 09:21:06 PM Love it :)
Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: Skunk on February 21, 2008, 01:38:10 AM I like it a lot. Nothing is as good as the original of course, but this is good (and yeah, def better than sheryl crowe, ugh)...
But people shouldn't be so down on bands that cover the more famous songs. Some people do it just because they love the song. Maybe they like playing it live and get a good reaction and decided to record it. Maybe they grew up loving the song and wanted to do their own version. I think it's great that SCOM gets so much love. Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: greekmule on February 24, 2008, 09:01:57 AM cool version. i like it : ok:
i dig the minimalistic approach...

It's always nice to see GNR songs being favoured by other musicians and their fans. If you like Indie music check it out. If you are a die hard Galm Rock or Metal fan forget it. you mean I should check it out. I would if I wasn't having trouble with flash at the moment. My fav scom cover is that sitar one so far. :peace: Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: SLCPUNK on February 25, 2008, 03:22:15 AM I liked it a lot.
Who is next to do this song? Tori Amos? Or maybe have Herbie Hancock bust out a nice jazz version. 8) Title: Re: Taken by Trees covers Guns N' Roses Post by: Genesis on February 25, 2008, 04:53:56 AM My fav scom cover is that sitar one so far. :peace: Dude, that was a joke the music channel did for their ad. It's not a real cover. |
