One of my friends purchased and listened to Led Zep's 'Physical Graffiti' today for the first time, and immediately said how The Rover (track 2) sounds like 'Rocket Queen'. I never noticed, but the similarity (in parts) is uncanny - check out the end of Rocket Queen and parts of the Rover and you'll get it.

Any other GN'R tracks you know of that sound like other songs?

Covers don't count, smartasses!

The guitarist from recently broken up Buckcherry, Keith Nelson is a huge Slash fan... he contributed to Dirty Little Thing on Contraband so the coincidence there is a good one.

There is a song by Elastica, called 'Line Up', that really has a GNR vibe to it. I noticed it the first time I heard it ten years ago, and I still think the same thing about it today. Lyrically, its something Izzy could've wrote. If Axl is an Elastica fan, and he ever decides to do another cover album, I would bet money that this song is on it.

I know some of you are going to laugh with this one....

The first time I heard the band "Space Hog", in 1995 when they released "Resident Alien" I thought that it was Axl's voice in some parts of one of the singles, I don't remember at this time if it was "Cruel to Be Kind" or "In the Meantime " but I remember that by that time I heard a rumour about a possible Axl Solo Project going on and when I heard the song I thought it was him... I never tought it was GNR, but Axl alone.

I buy that CD because of that and I really like the album, specially that 2 songs... and I still think the singer voice sound a little bit like Axl in some parts... funny.

I just thought of another song with a major GNR vibe. The Four Horsemen's 'Rockin is my Business, and Business is Good'. For those of you that have never heard of them, their bass player Haggis, actually played a concert or two with GNR while Duff was getting married. And there is also a song about Axl on this album called 'Tired Wings'. The Four Horsemen were a cool band. They were like Lynrd Skynrd with major attitude. Too bad they only lasted for one album. Its a hard album to find. If you see it, I highly recommend it!

The intro to The Darkness' -  I believe in a thing called love sounds a lot like the intro to Chinese Democracy

Right on, I'd noticed this. I'd consider changing the song / riff If I was Axl as its a little bit too similar!

Well..  All Those Wasted Years is great live album

May be  Bangkok Shocks, Saigon Shakes, Hanoi Rocks and  Two Steps From the Move. Also Back to the mystery city is great.


about gnr and hanoi rocks. rumours told how gnr plan record some hanoi rocks songs in The Spaghetti Incident but Andy McCoy was too Junkie at that time...

Sorry my english and offtopic Smiley
