What's wrong with Sympathy For The Devil and/or The Spaghetti Incident?

[phreakofnature]

first off, its MUCH better then the original, Stones version

but really, i think the song has energy and axl sounds great. the end is alittle messy, and the mix isn't great....there doesnt seem to be any LEAD guitar, but 2 or 3 semi-leads, if that makes sense. but i think the cover is really cool, why do people KILL IT?

You are on crack, i love GnR but that is one of the worst songs they have ever done.

I really like their cover of SFTD.  Axl sounds really evil in this, Jagger sounds like a country boy.  BTW, I love the Stones don't jump on me so quick.

[Smoking Guns]

Its good until he talks about the milk boy.  Just kidding.  Great instrumental wise, at times, Axl gets a little carried away.  The brilliance of the original was the simplicity and micks voice comes off very seductive.  It is truly a classic.  The remake was good, but doesn't really improve the song like KOHD does, or Live and Let Die does.  I do enjoy it though.

spagetti incident is a great, fun cd.  human being might just be the old band playing at its best.  everyone is really chuggin' along and axl sings his ass off.  human being should be on everyone's top 10 list of gnr songs.  all the songs are very good I just get bored with some.

SFTD wasent a bad cover considering they were all recording there parts on different days...If they were all there at the same time it would have been alot better..
I really like TSI...im not a big fan or Since i dont have u but its a interesting video.. Song cool songs like Aint it FUN and hair of the dog..

I agree, much better than the Stones version.

Sympathy is not better than the Stones version.

Sympathy is not better than the Stones version.

You are right, oh no, sorry, I am wrong.

I've only recently appreciated Sympathy For The Devil. I never used to listen to it, but lately it's really grown on me... I love Axl's vocals in it.

Gnrs cover of Sympathy is pointless and boring. Its not often a cover (by anyone) improves on the original (ok, All Along the Watchtower by Hendrix....) but to say GNR's cover is better than the Stones is a joke. i guess that those who believe so are just too fanatic about GNR fo their own good!! As for Gimme Shelter sounding dated -  Have a smoke, listen to that intro and re-evaulate what you think you know.

As for the Spaghetti Incident - listened to it today for the first time in about 8 yrs. Some good songs, some bad.. Bad being, duff slaughtering the Johnny Thunders tune, and the totally rubbish Since I dont have You. No wonder they broke up.

Nothing.

Im not 'too fanatical about GNR for my own good' I just prefer the GNR version than the stones version, you cant say Im wrong, because its just an opinion. Even if it had been recorded by a different band I would still prefer it
