I'm sorry, but that was... Not very good. It just goes to show that "heavy" is an attitude, not a guitar tone or double bass drum pedal. That's what bands don't understand, turning up your distortion DOES NOT make you a heavier band, it just makes your sound "muddy". Guns n Roses 2017 piss all over this, sorry. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 100%, this was a waste of time for all involved. The attempt to "metal-ize" such an amazing song has sucked the heaviness and spirit right out of it! It just sounds like a mess. And then there's the naked dudes, it's like they went out of their way to deliver a huge runny turd of a cover in both the audio and visual departments.

RussTCB Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 That's gotta be one of the worst covers I've ever heard in my life and I've heard a LOT of bad covers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post default_ Posted June 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) @thread Something happened on the weekend that I think is relevant to this thread. We here in Brazil always had a huge GNR fanbase and we're used to celebrate the band doing little meetings where we listen to rock n' roll and drink lots of buzz. I've been part of these for what? 6 ou 7 years. So, we did a new of these meetings last weekend and you people have no fuckin idea on how much people showd up, what always were a solid fanbase meeting, turned into a huge thing... lots of casuals, new fans, old fans it was just AMAZING to listen to all kinds of histories from these people, some that saw then in rio 91, São Paulo, some that had just found out the band was back and are so fuckin excited... I dont know how much people were with us, but I think it was 150/200 people walking from Sé to Rua Augusta (Those are São Paulo famous Avenues) listening and singing along to AFD and drinking buzz as if theres no tomorrow... It was great. So, we, forum people that follows the band 24/7 may judge the reunion, we may say it got stuck and that we are bored, but dont you ever understimate the power of the reunion to non-forum people, we are really just a tiny part of the fanbase. Of course I'm not saying this just from the meeting, but to see all those people following us with all that energy... was great.

sonofnazareth Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I don't care anymore. It's just a touring band now. Their time was from 85-1990. That's when they wrote all of the songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xBrownstonex Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 No, they wrote songs before 85 aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) The reunion tour is the next level of success for GNR though. They are now like the Stones in the 90s, this huge established band with a legendary place in rock history. I had most of the Stones pre 90s albums and that primed me for Voodoo Lounge but the past always seemed better. But now Voodoo Lounge does have some cool songs. Love is Strong, Thru and Thru, Out of Tears, You got me rocking. Everything becomes nostalgia in the end. Edited June 22, 2017 by wasted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pugachev Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) Really wish Slash would bring back the electric patience solo with the double neck, god damn that solo was beautiful. Before they reunited, I wanted nothing more than to hear that solo live. Edited June 22, 2017 by pugachev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadsy Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 when this thread was first made, i commented that they havent circulated around the globe yet and we need to let them do this tour properly and see it off. What i meant by that, was.. finish Australasia, do the UK/Europe, and then come home and get to work on whats next. Since i made that comment, they have added the arena shows in the US and rock in rio as well by the looks of it. If endless touring back accross the planet doing arenas in smaller cities is their next plan, with no change in line up (no izzy or steven) and no noticeable changes to what they are doing now, then my interest will drop right off. Sure ill visit the forum, still have my feeds on FB for news and whatever.. but my heightened interest will definitely be placed elsewhere. If they have no plans for music in the next 12 months while the iron is hot, then it will never happen in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
