Title: GnR, fans of Grand Funk Railroad? Post by: Nytunz on May 16, 2008, 11:07:01 AM This is a really cool band!
Do you think that this band has had alot of influence on Axls vokals? Just listen to the song Black Licorice I also found out that, Grand Funk Railroad have the original of the song We`re an American band, which GNR played live, and that the last part of Sail away sweet sister, is from a Grand Funk Railroad song.. cool!

I can remember when I was in the 5th grade our teacher would let us bring in records to play on lunch hour "Locomotion" was one of our faves, we would all do the dance "The Bump" lol, I think that was in about oh 1975. :smoking:Title: Re: GnR, fans of Grand Funk Railroad? Post by: lynn1961 on May 18, 2008, 12:28:26 AM Yeah, they're from the early to mid 70's, but were pretty good/pretty cool. I can't say I hear any resemblance to Axl's voice, however, but Axl could very well have been influenced, in part, by Mark Farner - who knows? Besides We're An American Band, Locomotion, and Bad Time (To Be in Love), another big song they had was Some Kind of Wonderful.

Its a pretty cool band, I really love Bad Times (and not just because Axl used to sang it). Title: Re: GnR, fans of Grand Funk Railroad?
