Bossa N' Roses

We've all got that special someone in our life for whom Axl is everything; ya know, that loved one that enjoys antagonizing GN'R openers and hopes beyond hope that Chinese Democracy comes out before the new year. It's for that person that we bring you the premiere of two tracks from Bossa N' Roses, a collection of electro-bossa covers of GN'R classics; it's a must for your favorite Rose fiend. Either she'll love it (in which case you'll look great), or she'll think it's absurd and you guys will share a great laugh. Or, she'll throw a trash can through your window. Test the waters with these two tracks:

Scubba - "Welcome To The Jungle" (808 Remix) (MP3) http://www.stereogum.com/Various%20Artists%20-%20Welcome%20To%20The%20Jungle%20(808%20Remix).mp3

Not exactly my thing, but im so bored with all the rumours thought i would post this

[AdZ]

That wasn't nearly as bad as I expected.

It's really the vocal that annoys me.  Way too forward in the mix.

[anythinggoes]

Maybe im still too hungover but that was not my cup of at all. It sounds like them songs they have playing in Shopping Malls and lifts etc plus you just cant butcher GN'R like that,

Maybe you've been listening to GNR concerts for too long ;)

[Alan]

it's interesting, not something i'd buy though.

[doooodickiebr]

weird stuff....kinda interesting though

[stardustonmyfeet]

garbage

[EFISH]

It was garbage.

But that just might the fact that I hate girl singers. 

[CheapJon]

It was garbage.

But that just might the fact that I hate girl singers.?

you shoul listen to the distillers and that would prolly change your opinion a little about female singers

anyway this aint my cup o' tea

[dave-gnfnr2k]

These are better  than those shitty  gnr tribute cds by those no named 80s washed up stars.

[DuffRoze]

this is super dope!!
im curious to hear the rest but not curious enough to buy them
overall kick fuckin ass!

LOL, I wondered what that shite was during Cinema adverts and I could swear its this stuff.  VERY WEIRD

[Sweetsister]

I really loved it.. in a wierd kind of way..
i guess listening  to one or two songs is enough , but a whole album of guns n bossanova....nah ill pass
 still, its the best official CD with guns n roses music since live era..

 No,actually,that wasn't funny. THAT was horrible.? Why are people dead-set on destroying GN'R songs? It's like a contest to see who does it worse!

 
 "Hold me over"?? Nothing short of CD itself is going to satiate me. NOTHING.

 To be fair on these people, imagine all 10,000 fans reading this board were given the opportunity to do their version.
Think about it, Godness is in the ear of the beholder and NOT the individual trying to sing SCOM or WTTJ at the Kareoke.

I personally think its cool that some people do this shit. its great. Not that I'd buy it, play it, recommend it, pass it on, view it, ebay it, search engine it or even use it to wipe my ass with. Its good that people do this shit, it shows us that GNR are the ONLY ones to do it.  THE NEW BAND ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

[PJ]

it was not bad at all
was fun
November Rain and Its so Easy are the best songs there
some remixes are very very similar
but they are FUN

[joscott]

I don't think it's that bad. It's just mild and easy going, unlike what most of us are used to. It's like GNR elevator music. Not bad if you're in that kinda mood I'd say.

[freedom78]

Very odd...can't say I'm interested in owning this.

[Disco Volante]

That was the best thing since sliced 12 grain bread.

[dizzy68]

 Awsome! I think what some people don't understand is that these tracks arn't supposed to be the same as the original. Guns n Roses fans seem to hate alternate versions of any song. But open up your mind and accept these songs for what they are. Classic tunes with a new Flavor. I personally really enjoyed them.
