Azifwekare Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Jesus, that album was terrible. Tribute albums like this exist only to make a quick buck, they have no musical merit. Locomotive and Dust N Bones were OK I guess, the rest sucked big hairy ones. Their only future is to become filler for 'The History of Guns' type cash grab compilations.

MaskingApathy Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 The Phil Lewis ones sound like super 80s hair metal versions of those tunes. All the danger and swagger that was present in the original is gone. The other tunes don't sound much better. I think I'll stick to the original GnR recordings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedYourIllusion Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Rocket Queen isn't too bad. Just wondering WHY do an album like this. Was wondering the same thing about the metal GN'R tribute album as well.. what's the point. Where the major bands showing the GN'R influence?

ludurigan Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) it can be a good album if it is performed by real bands and specially if it is performed by real bands that came BEFORE GNR and that really INFLUENCED GNR somehow... Aerosmith can easily do a fantastic version of Nightrain Rolling Stones can do Used to Love Her since it is basically Dead Flowers and It's All Over Now rewritten by Izzy. They can also easily do a blistering version of Bad Obsession with harmonica and all AC/DC can rearrange Anything Goes to their style ZZ Top can do way bluesier versions of Move to the City and You Ain't The First Judas Priest can do speed-metal versions of Reckless Life and play You're Crazy even faster than the Appetite version Kiss can make Think About You their own if they play it with Paul Stanley on vocals Steve Jones can restart his solo career with his own version of It's so Easy Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood could do a fantastic electric bluesy version of Patience Jeff Beck can finally show us his own take of Locomotive and I wouldn't mind a bit if it was an all-instrumental guitar-bonanza Paul McCartney won't be out of place singing So Fine Elton John can obviously do the ultimate November Rain cover Alice Cooper can offer an unexpected twisted version of My Michelle Keith Richards can close the album with a rendition of Dust n' Bones Edited December 11, 2018 by ludurigan 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 22 hours ago, Tom-Ass said: No, I didn't realize it was even released. I am actually going to Ughh I just listened to a few clips.. Pretty bad for the most part. I have nothing against tribute albums but it is kind of pointless to have a bunch of D-list musicians do it.. It would be cool to have one done by legit artists.. Like they did on Nativity in Black for Black Sabbath or the Zeppelin tribute Encomium. Bands with creativity and that want to share their own music with fans DON’T do covers of other bands......oh wait, whoops. Never mind.

MaskingApathy Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Some of those songs were recorded a long time ago. Like the Phil Lewis ones appear on a tribute CD from 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzagbigbag Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 There are tons of those cheap GNR cover albums and unfortunately I bought nearly all of them. They are total crap, with only one exception: Strings of Fire, which is nothing but awesome (really bad artwork though)! Enjoy! https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqj9x3sNv0QFg3yUHU_UQcP3W2zXiQsSc https://www.amazon.com/Strings-Fire-Acoustic-Tribute-Roses/dp/B00004WFPU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
