Covers

[Dead N' Bloated]

Do you think there will be any covers on CD? If its only gunna be 1 disc I dont wanna see any but if its 2 or 3 discs then a cover or 2 will be fine.

who knows probably only axl the band and merck

but i doubt it

[badapple81]

I doubt it dude.. I think given the time etc. fans expect originals. But hey if it rocks then why not. Plus imagine the shit Axl would cop about not being able to write his own music without Slash & Izzy and all that kinda crap.

Maybe he'll do a cover or two live. Brian May making a guest appearance on guitar on one of Axl's songs and maybe then a Queen track would rock! I tend to think the b-sides will be demos which didnt make the CD, instrumentals or maybe a live recording.

[Olorin]

Don't forget Ebony and Ivory with Lionel Ritchie

[Backslash]

I don't know if I'd like to see a cover, but I think it would be possible.  AFD was the only release that GNR did without a cover.  Mind you, they got all the cover songs out in TSI.  If there is a cover, I'd like to hear Axl's take on some Elton John, as he likes to list him as an influence and friend.  Tiny Dancer would be an awesome song for Axl.

[The Estranged MrFlashbax]

i want axl to cover some metallica just for fun.. to see what it sounds like axlified

but i would REALLY like to hear axl/gnr cover judas priest.. i think that could be some really interesting recordings

and about CD.. i hope there are no covers.. maybe b-sides to singles but not on the album itself

[Fortus]

there was rumour....about the recording of  Hey jude cover a few years ago

[Lukin]

Seems kind of lame to have covers on an album that?s been in the makling for 13+ years. But as you said, if get a 3-disc album it would be totally OK.?

[Mr. Nik™]

no cover songs on the forthcoming album

[Sagolik]

no cover songs on the forthcoming album

i hope so.. but we?ll see .. the album wont suck with a cover in it 

[KeVoRkIaN]

Personally I'd hate to see one and people would accuse Axl of putting in filler material.  Hopefully he doesn't add one.

[mikegiuliana]

fuck covers this thing has taken way to long to hear other people's music..

[makane]

I hope they do 0 covers. fuck it, I haven't waited this long for a cover album.

yeah...thats a good idea, didnt Axl say something about Rob Halfords voice not long ago?

[Oh My Choking Soul]

Perfect Cover List for CD:

1. Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
2. Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley
3. Dr.? Feel Good - Motley Crue
4. Unskinny Bop - Poison

(Hehe, this is a joke before you all freak out)

I always said GnR needed to cover Nazereth and then they did... now if they would do the Immigrant Song by Zepplin, that would be awesome.

[Backslash]

2. Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley

 

I don't know about the Hey Jude thing.  With Catcher in the Rye as a tribute to John Lennon, maybe a Lennon or Beatles cover will surface as a B side

[Axlfreek]

i wouldnt mind if they covered a zep tune 

[KeVoRkIaN]

2. Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley

With Catcher in the Rye as a tribute to John Lennon

Hardly a tribute.... sort of I guess

[Backslash]

i wouldnt mind if they covered a zep tune

Zeppelin would be nice, but it's pretty much impossible to get the song rights.

yeah unless you sell cars to 90 year-olds

no more covers!!! 13 years is a plenty long enough time span to come up with 13 originals
