Other bands covering GN'R

[blues_rock_axeman]

I have a Linkin Park cover version of Sweet Child O' Mine. They don't know the words or guitar parts.

And you obviously can't rap to it, so Mike Shinoda (knobend rapper) ended it by saying 'That's enough of that shit'.

Interesting comment, Mike. Because thats one example of shit that is so damn good that you have not a hope of even coming near it.

[Cocaine__tongue]

Velvet revolver: At the moment and only live, thy've covered I used to love her and It's so easy

[MadmanDan]

I remember someone on this board talking about how Pink butchered Welcome to the jungle in a concert

[Dave_Rose]

I remember someone on this board talking about how Pink butchered Welcome to the jungle in a concert

yeah I heard about that to I was just about to say that my self, I wonder if the strokes will still cover November Rain I hope 

[Mama Kin]

Alice only covered Jungle live, I've never heard it. I do know he is jealous that he didn't write it though.

[arnarsi]

I once heard over the radio a hard metal band cover November Rain but I have no idea what the name of the band was, sorry.

[ClintroN]

We all know GN'R liked to do covers, i was just wondering which bands have covered them?

MY BAND

It's so Esy
YCBM (acoustic, it really works )
New Rose
Down on the Farm
Cival War
14 Years

Im sure this has been covered before, but I havent seen it in awhile...

I dont believe this site has a comprehensive list of GNR songs covered by others, so perhaps we can compile one here. 

Feel free to include live versions (provided the audio is out there), and if its a bootleg, please post it.

Off the top of my head I can think of:

Asphalt Ballet - Crash Diet (Never sure what the deal what this track was; my guess is that it was written primarily by Wes Arkeen, with assistance from the Asphalt Ballet guys.  So technically, its probably more of a Asphalt Ballet song anyway and how Axl got into the mix, Im still unsure.  Anyone have more info?)

Sheryl Crow - Sweet Child O' Mine (The most high-profile of the GNR covers?)

L7 - Used To Love Him

Hole - Paradise City (A live "joke" cover thats actually not that bad, particularly when Melissa Auf Der Mar is singing)

Manic Street Preachers - Its So Easy

AFI - My Michelle (Pretty decent from what I remember)

[awhellzno05]

I've heard that live "joke" cover by Hole and it was the biggest piece of shit I've ever heard, not sure which version you listened to my friend.

I think The Beautiful Mistake's cover of Estranged is quite good as an Estranged cover can be.
