I love Ain't it Fun and always considered one of the best Slash's performance in a official cover track. I think this would be a good opportunity to finally play this song live.

From CD, Slash maybe can play: CD, Street Of Dreams, Catcher In The Rye, This I Love. Minor chances has: Madagascar, Prostitute, TWAT. Almost zero: Shakler's, ITW, IRS, Sorry, Riad, Better, Scraped. Just my opinion.
I know it's all your opinion, but why the hell do you think Prostitute is more likely than IRS and Better?

Also, saw some people talking about Riad not being Slash style.. I think it's one of the more guitar driven songs in Chinese Democracy with a solid riff - Axl himself said to Bumblefoot that it reminds of Beatle's Hey Bulldog. Of course, the song has its synths and the solo and outro are wacky as fuck, but it could work in a more straight fowarad approach with Slash.

Still, I don't think Axl likes to sing this song. He had every chance to do it in 2006/7 when he was hitting all those high notes more easily.

From slash's songs I'd really like to hear Axl on "Dissident".

First song from "TSI" that I heard! Good one!

Nothing explainable, just opinion. Maybe the lyrics...

Also, saw some people talking about Riad not being Slash style.. I think it's one of the more guitar driven songs in Chinese Democracy with a solid riff - Axl himself said to Bumblefoot that it reminds of Beatle's Hey Bulldog. Of course, the song has its synths and the solo and outro are wacky as fuck, but it could work in a more straight fowarad approach with Slash.

Everybody knows your love to Riad... A really great song, played at HOB 01.01.01 and not in Rio III unfortunately... The vocal requirement is a factor to the band not plays it easily, like Silkworms, if could would be great.

Speaking in "Everybody knows"... wow, great "Intro" from Illusion's era!

Covers have always been part of the GN'R experience. On the UYI tour, songs like Imagine and Wild Horses were live staples; with more recent lineups, Riff Raff, Whole Lotta Rosie and other songs were covered.

If this regrouping is a long term prospect and they tour, what songs would you eventually wanna hear them cover and try live?

I vote for the following:

-Over the Hills and Far Away (they did this songs on a very rare occasion in the 90s, but Axl's voice is extremely fitting to cover Zeppelin material. He was turned down by a punk band in the early 80s cause he 'sounded too much like Robert Plant'!)

-Love of My Life (Queen - This piano driven number would make a great opener for This I Love or November Rain, the way It's Alright and Someone Saved My Life Tonight Have. Especially given Axl's love of Queen)

-Across the Universe (would make a great intro [think duet with Axl singing, Slash and Richard on acoustic guitars) for Catcher if it's played by the regrouped lineup

With the sad passing of David Bowie, I'd like to think they'd cover one of his tracks, maybe Space Oddity.

I want to see them go back to their old way of playing KOHD.

Also I?d love to see Slash playing Anastasia and/or Gotten.

I think there is a chance you'll hear Anastasia worked into Slash's solo... not sure on band participation.

The only songs I think Slash can play well from Chinese Democracy are:
Chinese Democracy
Street Of Dreams
TWAT
Catcher
This I Love

But let's not hold our breathe as I'm sure these gigs will be dominated by radio singles and if something as obscure as Yesterdays gets through we're lucky.



He can play anything from CD... just some of the songs don't fit his style very well... so I hope you aren't implying that his skill isn't up to par on some of the CD songs?

Yes, good call.  My preference for them would be Suffragette City.  Another possibility would be Let's Dance, which I never knew until reading the recent obituaries that Stevie Ray Vaughn played lead guitar.  That fits right into Slash's bluesy style of playing.

I always loved the guns rendition of "Symphaty for the Devil", and always wanted to hear it live, but I know Axl replaced Slash guitar parts for Paul's so... it's very unlikely. Also loved the old intro that Axl used to play before November Rain, that little part of Black Sabbat's "It's Alright".

Not a single cover. Not heavens door, not LALD and so on. Original songs only, of course that wont happen.

The covers are part of the essence of GNR, that's what I think. A song like LALD, played in the GNR style has being worldwide recognized that have become practically of their own, becoming part of the legacy of the band.

Good insight, I agree and love that GNR puts their own unique style on covers and makes them their own, a big fan of a lot of the covers they have done.

If they do a Bowie cover, Rock n' roll suicide. Other than that, a Hanoi cover would be fun. But like Cheap Jon, I prefer as many originals as possible. Even though it's correct like JK75 says, Gn'R usually make cover songs even better.

I know and get that. I want to change my statement. It would be awesome to hear several songs from "Spaghetti".

If they played a 5 minute version of Heavens door that would work too, but to me, that's not a 10 minute song, especially not if Axl uses the cowboy voice that he has the past tours.

I'm 99.9% sure that it'll always be in the setlist though, same with LALD.
