Blackhole Sun

Curious if Blackhole Sun stays in the set...

Hope not. It was a beautiful gesture by the band for honoring Chris' legacy but it didn't sound good.

When I saw the headline that they had covered the song I imagined Axl singing it and it was damn cool in my head. I didnt imagine it with young Axl singing it but rather with the highlights of what I know his voice can do nowadays. I think They should've rehearsed that song more until he nailed it, I thought Axl had learned from his AC/DC rehearsals that practice actually helps.

[gcluskey]

It sounded great live, the whole concert does. The next nice gesture they can do is for me, I'm still alive and I'd love to hear them play Don't Damn Me and Breakdown. But seriously it's sounds class through their soundsystem

Another cover added.  Lazy

Really?

The guy died. It's a band GNR has covered (TSI?) and toured with. Explain how that's "lazy" exactly. Your friend dies, you do something in his memory, are you being lazy too?

I think it was an amazing gesture but it should have been a one time thing. I don't care if Axl didn't sound good: the gesture it's what does matter.

And no: if they're going to add something ''new'' to the setlist, it should be Riad or any unreleased song from the 1996-2008 era. It's risky, i know... 99% of the fans want to feel cozy and warm in the AFD/UYI safe zone...

TBH I wish they had said " this ones for Chris Cornell, its called The Garden"

Axl hasnt sanged Rhiad since 2002, I think there was a lawsuit with that song and he hasnt played it ever again. I think IRS would be better

IRS was last played live in 2010, so it's still been many years anyway... and I don't think he would sing about lawsuits onstage, while between two guys who spent much of their lives suing him (and vice versa)

I think Riad just fell out of the setlist as newer songs from the CD sessions came along. Riad is fine, but I'd also prefer to hear IRS again. And If the World.

Oh, bore off.  We get it.  Not every thread needs to about your aversion to covers.  You know, there's an expression in Gaelic -  p?obaire an aon phuirt .  It means someone who just says the same things over and over again like a broken record, but you might appreciate that literally it means "a piper with only tune".

As it happens, I could do without all the covers myself,  but egad, dude - we get it.  Give it a rest.

I agree.  Love that song.

But yeah, it would be awkward singing it now, given the lyrics subject matter.

The addition of any new song, even a cover, is a step forward indicating atleast some form of communication among the members of the traveling group of entertainers working as "Guns N' Roses".  Who knows? Jamming on any song, could maybe inspire a future recorded group effort of new original songs?
And it's a good cover too. they do it well!

[John]

Works for me. A nice tribute.

Expect it to stay for the rest of the European Tour at the very least.

Agreed, Axl should consider doing an experimental song with lower pitched grungy vocals. It's where he sounds the most like he used to, these days, and it doesn't strain his voice as much either. I'd love to hear some heavy GNR grunge. It's also an experiment in a direction Slash would appreciate, unlike ballads or industrial stuff.

I remember when this song won best hard rock song at the grannies and Chris was embarrassed to recieve the award.  He thought it should go to Henry Rollins

I hate this song also

[(t)]

It was by far their biggest hit though.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

If they are going to cover Soundgarden, this would be a song I'd like to see them do-  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQOOgQtLI4M
