Down On The Street cover

[1987]

This is something I've put together over the years and it'll give you an idea of what's been recorded over the years:

Down On The Street (The Stooges cover, recorded for "The Spaghetti Incident?") [unreleased] ..this was one of the songs listed on Jarmo's list. 

does anyone have this? I didn't know that gnr ever covered this. Has it ever surfaced?

[BurningHills]

Three songs from the UYI/TSI? sessions do not circulate:

Down On The Street (Originally by The Stooges)
Waiting On My Ruca (Originally by Sublime)
Beer and a Cigarette (Originally by Hanoi Rocks)

Waiting On My Ruca (Originally by Sublime)
Beer and a Cigarette (Originally by Hanoi Rocks)

Is there any confirmation for these two songs, because I never heard that they have been recorded in any session?

the only confirmation about the Hanoi Rocks tune I got is directly from Gilby. Spoke to him after a show in '00 and asked him about the songs that didn't reach TSI?! He didn't remember the title 'Down the Street', but remembered it was a Iggy Pop song... so, it's 'kinda' reliable...

I would love to get some of these tunes if anyone has them?

Waiting On My Ruca (Originally by Sublime)

Sorry but I really do not believe this.
Let me ask you: where did you get info about it?
Please give us the source for this info.
It makes no sense at all.

Cant say I believe this one either.

I believe you. I would be happy if there will be any other confirmation for the Hanoi Rocks song. And "Down On The Street" is not the the song I am wondering about.

[Locomotive98]

Apparently the Hanoi Rocks cover is a definite, but as for a sublime cover I doubt that very very much.

As for the Stooges - I always thought it was 'I wanna be your dog', not Down on the Street.

[ChrisPittman]

Gilby Clarke gave an interview in South Italy in 2002 when he said that he doesnt know where Hanoi Rocks cover is, or if it was ever used past production, as far as he is concerned it may have been removed so the Charles Manson song could go on lol

[1987]

wow.. i guess there is more out there than i knew about.  the least the GNR camp could have done in the past 15 years was release a "lost Dogs" album.. these 3 songs.. and the old demos remastered.. maybe even throw in studio versions of Rhiad and silkworms since they aren't going to be on the album..    they wouldn't even have to make it a major release.. just throw it on Itunes.. obviously i want CD.. but i would have much rather seen a lost dogs album rather than a greatest hits...

[Voodoochild]

Rhiad can still make it on Chinese Democracy.

[WARose]

rhiad will most likely be on CD... or one of the follow ups. i highly doubt they`d still have it on the setlist, if they weren`t going to release it at some point. it`s one of my favourite new songs by the way    it`s one of the songs with the most potential to be more exact.

Michael Monroe himself confirmed in his webpage some years ago that Gn'R recorded a version of Beer And A Cigarette for TSI? while he was answering a fan 'bout his relationship with Axl n' Gn'R (this was before the Osaka affaire in 2002...)

Q: Guns?N?Roses wanted to do some Hanoi songs for the punk covers album, do you know what songs?

M: Yeah, ?Beer And A Cigarette? but they thought Andy McCoy was too much of a prick to deserve the publishing money.

There's a lot of Gn'r n' Axl references in their responses to the fans n' also in their biography

[BurningHills]

"Waiting On My Ruca" was listed on gnrontour.com as an unreleased song. So, you'd have to talk to John M. about that one.

EDIT: Looks like he's since removed it. Probably some faulty info on his part.

********
A Hanoi Rocks song makes 100% sense.
A Sublime song makes no sense AT ALL.

And all I said was that John M. listed it on his site and has since removed it. I'm getting the impression that you people are jumping down my throat for mentioning it.

Why doesn't it make any sense though?

Is "Since I Don't Have You" a punk song?

[CaughtMeInaComa]

Why doesn't it make any sense though?

i don't think it makes sense because to the best of my knowledge Sublime wasn't even a published band back in '91 or '93 (am i wrong?). which is when "TSI" was recorded.

I don't know/care about Sublime enough to answer that. I just know what I saw on gnrontour.com back in the day. (shrugs.)
