Please, no more covers

[Eric]

When and if they tour again, I'm in favor of dropping Live and Let Die and Knocking on Heavens door-I like the setlist the new band had during the 2002 tour, but I always skip these songs when watching the performances. There ya go.

ok.

[mrsaxlrose]

that's nice........

lol
lock this shit.

Same here, Eric. though I like their versions, I am not a fan of a cover unless it's radically altered.

If I could have my druthers I'd make them drop all oldies from the list and fill it with a whole lotta new songs.

yeah don't bash Eric for starting this thread, I know where he's coming from. I hate it when a great band has to take a song thats already popular and covers it. It reminds me when a remake of a movie is made that's already a classic.

well eric should've put this in the wishlist thread then. and that's that.

[saint seiya]

ok maybe i should do the same because you say so... dumb ass

[Saul]

I wish for more covers please! Cover some huey lewis and the news!

[spuddy1]

Keep live and let die but drop knocking on heavens door. Some people are really starting to spoil this board, there is nothing wrong with this thread so just ignore the kids who bash you.

[bad tripp]

I'd say the opposite and keep Knockin' on Heavens Door and drop Live and Let Die, i think their cover of KOHD is radically different from dylans original version plus when playing it live the whole crowd gets into it at the end which is infinitly cool.

are you talking to me? why don't you go visit a beavis & butthead forum you little worm.

[N.I.B]

no, Gn'R has done too many covers. I want more original material 

[jabba2]

I never liked the covers nor understand why GNR has so many of them. They shouldnt be on the records but there they are.

[ryan_of_lax]

Live and Let Die shouldn't have been a part of the new bands set in the first place. I never understood why that was such a favorite of the band.

Knockin On Heaven's Door is great though. Especially the "new" version.

I'm hoping a lot of the old songs will be cut or played less often when/if the new band tours again.
Do we really need to hear Out Ta Get Me and Mr Brownstone? Good songs... but move on.

[Saul]

I hope they play IRS on the next tour. 

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Second that, next tour I could do a little ?less of the old GNR standards and more new stuff / obscure classic GNR.

However, I am not against a good cover song done differently than the original.

I'd like to see a big shocker , like for one night only they bust out "crash diet" with Buckethead doing the blazing guitar solo in it. 

[Carlos_f_Rose]

I like those songs, but only when the original band used to play them... with the new line-up every old gnr song,misses a part of their soul.... by the way live and let die and kOHD  rocked in the past... now... its kinda  different...

I saw both of those songs in person on the 2002 tour and I must say LALD totally fucking blew me away.  Knockin on Heavens door was pretty good too, but LALD was one of the things I really remembered.   The Axl screams during that song, live, were amazing.  But I'm being biased cause I love the new band.  The show in Cleveland in 2002 was the best concert I have ever seen, out of the many I have seen.  And I would hate if they dropped Live and Let Die off the setlist when they come back around, unless it's for a new song that kicks some fucking ass.
