Swedish Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 So I thought about this while reading the thread about which solo record that is the most "Guns N' Roses". If you were to take songs from the solo records (I'm counting CD here just to get Axl's post '95 work to) and make a GN'R album with Axl singing (unless noted), which ones would it be? This is how my album would look: 1. World On Fire 2. Somebody Knockin' (Izzy on vocals) 3. You're A Lie 4. Serial Killer 5. Better 6. There Was A Time 7. Bent To Fly 8. Belive In Me 9. Crucify The Dead 10. Bad Rain 11. Shuffle It All Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovim Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Fall To Pieces ideas and the spirit of Safari Inn, Slither's riff with a more developed chord progressions, kinda like Chinese Democracy the song and how the riff is very stiff but then it shifts to chord progressions in the vein of the riff. Some people talk about Snakepit riffs. I hear some good ones there, I just don't care for that southern vibe. Some ideas could have probably worked for a few bangin' hard rock Guns tunes. Nothing on the level Slash created for Appetite or Illusions though as is in Snakepit and that includes the riffs, even if some were great. The standard is just high with Slash cause what he came up with in Guns. From his solo album By The Sword has a very Guns like feel and production, especially the solo. It touched on some of that Guns magic. The riff is cool, but kinda too celebratory for Guns to me. Every Izzy album probably contains at least a couple of tunes that could have been great Guns material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towelie Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) I always thought Gotten was a great track and By The Sword also. Serial Killer is the one great GNR song that got away though. Edited November 10, 2016 by Towelie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

default_ Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) Most of the songs on Five O'Clock and JuJu Hounds aligned with some Axl ballads like This I love, Catcher and Street of Dreams could make a great Guns record. Some others like Believe in Me and Aint that a bitch, could also be there. I agree that every Izzy album has a song that if worked by the whole band, could make a great Guns hit. I think everything else is way too modern to be a in Guns album, specially Velvet Revolver and Duff stuff.

Mendez Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) This ten second riff from Good to Be Alive would been cool as fuck as a chorus riff for a GNR song. Sadly it ended up as a tiny prechorus riff that went into a chorus riff that didnt really fit the vibe of the song at all. Slash does a cool overdub on top of this on the studio version. The 1st minute of the song is pretty good leading up to this cool simple riff, then it went to a sustain to a weird pseudo funk chorus. I'd say scrap everything of this song and only work around this riff. Edited November 10, 2016 by Mendez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
