Hey i love it when Axl covers different songs and shows his range i mean it was always KOHD and Live and let die that were synonomous with GNR. I guarantee if gnr released a single of The Seeker people would buy it up. I mean how many people when they here LALD and KOHD they think of GNR before they think of the Originators.

GnR doing a good cover doesn't bother me.  A change to the set list , cover or original song is all good.

I always loved Chris Cornell career..but I never quite understood all the hype for Black Hole Sun. IMO is a flat song and there`s nothing special about, Soundgarden has much better songs and even some Audioslave songs are much more rich and beautiful.

Howard Stern praised their performance of BHS on his show this week. Played a bit on the air but it didn't translate well due to the less than stellar YouTube quality. Said Axl could definitely still sing though. Positive comments all around.

It was a huge song when it came out, MTV played it constantly. I was about 15 at the time and it was the song that got me into Soundgarden. But now after hearing it a million times, I agree that there are other songs from Chris's catalog that I'd listen to instead.  I think it's cool that GNR is covering it though.

You should have seen the cover they wanted to do. It wasn't a glove, believe me.

I think it?s pretty fucking great that they are covering SG. If anyone deserved the tribute, it?s Cornell. Losing him is a gigantic blow for music. For lack of a better term, pretty much the nail in the coffin of rock as far as I?m concerned. During a time when his contemporaries were either dead and buried, or had become fat and lazy, he was as active as ever, and producing music that holds up to his back catalogue.
Black Hole Sun is far from my favorite SG songs, but I think it?s been popular to cover of late, because obviously it?s easily recognizable, but also because I?m guessing it?s one of the easier Cornell songs to sing. I can?t see Axl or anyone else doing Beyond the Wheel, or Slaves and Bulldozers justice, but thought they pulled off BHS just fine. A welcome addition to an already pretty killer setlist.

Was pleased hearing that as well.  Howard would be a great venue for Axl if he ever wanted to do a an in-depth interview.

Probably something more for the fans, a celebration of the life of a great musician.

I think they do it justice. I think there are other Soundgarden, Audioslave and Cornell solo songs I'd much rather hear, but it's still pretty cool to hear your favorite band cover another one of your favorite bands' music. I wish it was on better terms.

Enjoy it for what it is. It's not taking away from the setlist.

Or is it when played in the encore.
