So 3/5ths of a band playing a song is a cover but 1/5th of a band playing it isnt?

errr.... Guns N' Roses!
Your arguments are so predictable, estebanf. I knew you'd use the "they're Guns N' Roses" argument which is why I said in the original post:
Quote from: Genesis on May 08, 2007, 11:34:51 PM
And no, don't tell me it's not, because they still have the name GN'R.
Learn to read the whole post, lest your reply makes you look retarded.
What do you want me to say? You are saying that Weiland's band playing Guns N' Roses songs are not covers...
Who's the retarded? Think it. Who's the retarded? What argument do you expect me to use?
If I ask you if ''Like A Rolling Stone'', being performed at a Rolling Stones concert, is a cover, the ONLY valid answer is, at the same time, predictable: YES. No other reply could be valid, that turns the answer to the question predictable.
I will say it clearer: Mr Brownstone and Its So Easy ARE NOT Velvet Revolver songs. That is enough to call them covers.
damn... it would be easier to explain a trained ape what a cover is...

So if Jimmy Page and Robert Plant perform Stairway to Heaven with 2 new musicians under a different name it would be a cover?
Axl technically is covering ISE cause he didnt write it. Just cause Slash is no longer in the band doesnt mean those riffs and solos cease to be his.

You can say whatever the fuck you want, but you are not going to convert It's So Easy and Mr Brownstone into VR songs.
Those are Guns N' Roses songs. Period. Any other band playing them > Covers.
Using your logic, when Suki Jones performed:
01. Welcome To The Jungle
02. It's So Easy
03. Nightrain
04. Mr. Brownstone
09. My Michelle
10. Rocket Queen
11. Paradise City
...they were performing their own songs?

50% of the users at that message board attended the VR show at the Quilmes Rock Festival and have a better idea of how that song sounds live than most of american VR fans

This has to be said:
At least SLash and Duff didnt have to hold on to a legendary name to be successful.
They started a band from Scratch and have shown Axl that they dont need him to be successful. U have to give them respect for that.

Everything is not Black and White. Slash / Duff playing GN'R songs is not the same as say, them playing a Pink Floyd number.

It's quite simple: I haven't read one review of an user from
this forum
saying that Let It Roll is a killer song. I saw multiple opinions, ranging from good, catchy, average, mediocre and horrible.
So would you like to keep searching or just admit you were lying?

Read again. This time, carefully.
I've never read (*) any reviews in ''this forum'' saying that Let it Roll is a killer song
[period]
I saw multiple opinions [I have not specified where, in fact, I post and read lots of forums in different languages] ranging from good.............
Try again dude. If you need more coins give me a shout
(*) Until Timothy's post

More word technicalities...
So you distinctly say "in this forum," but the connecting thought that follows suddenly applys to all forums, even though theres nothing to imply it? It sounds like youre grasping for straws here.
As for your original statement, heres the first post of the "Let It Roll" thread:
Quote
The more i listen to it the more i love it, the quality of the recordin' is crap but you can hear how this song sounds and it's a great song to start a show and an album. It rocks like a motherfucker, I'd love to hear the whole song with a better quality.
The next post is yours:
Quote
Wait two days, and you'll have a pro-shot video of it!
So I think its safe to assume you read it. Whats the technicality this time? He said he "loves it," "it rocks like a motherfucker," and "its a great song," but not "killer?"

A few random thoughts:
Jarmo's hardly the first person to label Weiland a fraud. In fact, it's a criticism that's followed him for the last 15 years.
I wouldn't even begin to know where to find a link (so don't bother constantly asking for one), but I remember a 2006 interview with Slash in which he was asked about the possibility of a Guns N' Roses reunion. His reply was something along the lines of "Well, I hadn't talked to Axl in 10 years at one point", with "at one point" being the key phrase. I couldn't help but think back to Axl's press release when I read that.
As for the new album being "ear candy for the guitar aficionado", presuming that's not just hyperbole, I think it's a great direction for the band to head into. Considering their original selling point (more "Guns N' Roses" than Guns N' Roses!) and the current musical landscape ('80s hard rock is very retro chic right now), it only makes sense. I can't imagine well-marketed album built around scorching Slash solos *not* finding a sizable audience.

The lead guitarist in his own band allegedly feels the same way
