Like the whole album? Or did you mean Another Brick in the Wall (Part 1, 2 or 3)?

[Kujo]

Well considering his rediscovered love for NYC maybe he might want to try Death Cab For Cuties' "Why You'd Want To Live Here". If you knew the lyrics it would make sense.

[Mr Rage]

how about:
Poison - Alice Cooper
Or for shits and giggles!
Purple Rain - Prince (i have a feeling he could pull it off)

[zakas80]

off the top of my head...

                   "She's Like A Rainbow"- Rolling Stones
                   "Spread Your Wings"- Queen
                   "Perfect Strangers"- Deep Purple
                   "Rock & Roll Suicide"- David Bowie
                   "D'yer Maker"- Led Zeppelin
                   "Cold Feelings"- Social Distortion

The song. The one Alice in Chains covered. The one that has the video with the "walking" army hammers.



*le sigh*

[ROSE22]

not to drift off topic but i never knew AIC covered the wall. i know korn did but AIC ? oh, and i would like to hear axl sing mountain song, the writ, kashmir, love hurts just to name a few............

[Deez Nuts]

[mornintrain]

Hmmm...I didn't know AIC covered anything on The Wall either. I know Layne Staley cover Another Brick in the Wall with a band called Class of 99. Is that what you're talking about? I never saw the video for it so they might have used the marching hammers for it.

*le sigh*

[MATT-A-REAL-FAN]

? Yo,
 I posted on mygnr.com years ago,that it would be cool to hear him do Melissa Etheridge's "I'm the Only One" since he could definitely handle the range (she's raspy too)and the guitar riff is awesome!!
 
 I'd also like to hear the band tear into Everclear's "Nehalem". It's a less than 2 minute pop thrash song that would make the floor explode!!!

 Axl,play one when I'm there - May 17th brother!!?

I know there have been threads about it, so forgive me.....but I am personally tired of Knockin' and LALD taking more than 10 min of a GN'R show. I mean these songs were great back in the day but have faded over the years....And will start to get really annoying if performed every night..
I am in general not in favor of cover songs but if it should be, then I suggest GN'R does
Right Where It Belongs by NIN
for several reasons:
1) It is a pretty recent song and I think that is fresh
2) It is a piano song and pretty simple and easy to perform
3) It is very very catchy and I can see how the audience gets to dig it in no time
4) It is the deepest song lyrically since the Illusions albums

Any other suggestions?

Stop reading there. I'm sure Robin will be absolutely delighted to be a part of this, since there is absolutely no bad blood between himself and Reznor. 

[deanaxlrose]

NO!!

[Amari2677]

Why is there bad blood between Robin and Trent Reznor?  Robin was part of the band that Trent hires to tour (since TR records the entire album himself for the most part).  When the tour was over (Fragility '00), Robin's services were no longer needed (as was the case with a few other band members).  Not sure why there would be bad blood there, unless I am missing something.

As far as covers, I don't think any NIN song would be a great choice for GN'R, but don't mistake me, I would absolutely DIE to hear Axl and Trent sing "Hurt" together (like Trent did with Bowie in '95).  I think I have a better chance of seeing the easter bunny buttfuck Oprah than seeing Trent and Axl on the same stage unfortunately.  Anyhow, I would love to hear Axl perform "Let It Be" or "Cats in the Cradle", but doubt either of those will ever happen.

LOVE IT!
NIN all the way.

Agreed.... it is definitely one of his best.  V.2, in particular, is phenmoenal (just acoustic guitar and Trent).
