Reckless Life - GNR...but it's close Shadow of Your Love- GNR Anything Goes- Hollywood Rose In my book, My way Your Way is like 18 million times more animalesque in Hollywood Rose. The duelling guitars of Izzy and Weber are really really great great and Axl sings it like an animal on the prowl. Lyrics and vocal melodies are much better too in My Way Your Way, specially the "I'm gonna work it out" part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Guns. Hollywood Rose sounded too much like Judas Priest for my tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never really listened to Judas Priest so i couldn't really make a comparison. What i have heard from them sounds like pretty generic metal, Hollywood Rose has more metal leanings than Guns...thrash even..but i think it has a pretty exciting vibe to it.

I definitely heard a lot of Rob Halford in Axl on that Hollywood Rose CD..

I really enjoyed the Hollywood Rose CD too.. I would have to go with the Gn'R versions across the board though. One more on Priest.. I was never into them growing up but they have slowly grown on me big time in later years!! They have a ton of material. It isn't all good but there is definitely some great stuff. If you want to give them a shot, I would go with "Unleashed in the East" first then give "Screaming For Vengeance a few spins" Edited August 23, 2017 by Tom-Ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunset Gardner Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I prefer the gnr version... there's just something about when the five real members or Guns N' Roses play together, it could never be matched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first album from his band FIGHT is one of my favorite metal albums of all time and I also love that first HALFORD album.. I crank it every time I am on the way to get a new Tattoo. \m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sosso Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I prefer Hollywood Rose. Reckless Life is so much better than the GN'R version. Shadow Of Your Love is also a great track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Nova Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Hollywood Rose had a typical "glam/sleaze" rock sound of the 80's and so did the early incarnation of those songs. What makes Guns N' Roses special, is that they separated themselves from that sound and those songs evolved with them. There isn't a Hollywood Rose song that wouldn't sound completely outdated right now....including the early versions of those songs....but listening to the G N' R versions, they have sustained the test of time and are considered classics now.

DieselDaisy Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I do not like screamy heavy metal. I like the bluesy style Slash brings to those songs. It was an interesting release though, the Hollywood Rose CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
