It's only good when the crowd drowns him out. The band sound awesome doing Slither. I must say Wichita is awful. Axl sings it well but it's a real concert killer. It didn't go down too well in Europe The Seeker is my favourite. Really gets the crowd going at the end I loved Wichita. They should drop Black Hole Sun. Axl improved singing this song later but I don't think this cover fit the setlist. I agree about Slither. It would be great if they'd do Nice Boys. But for me a strong, powerful vocals make the song great like in 2010 or 1993. It sounded like shit in 2013 and 2017. After Shadow Of Your Love I think Axl can pull it off. Sure not like in 2010 but it could be something cool.

megaguns1982 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) I think KOHD is waaay over rated. Not sure why it gets played so much on the radio. the set list has way too many covers. I wish they’d drop all of the covers including KOHD and LALD. Maybe keep the seeker and throw some more original content in the mix, locomotive, dead horse , perfect crime.... and I’ve always really wanted to see get in the ring live.

Evil Doer Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Favorite covers are black leather, raw power, ain't it fun. Most of the covers they play live i can do without. Would much rather hear GNR tunes live and get rid of all covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PirateRadio Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Sailing. That’s the only one I can stomach since 1994. Pre 94, I’d be psyched if they covered absolutely anything. Now, I’m embarrassed for them and myself if they cover anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourMother'sDruthers Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I think at this point, hardcore fans resent a new cover, especially one like “the seeker”, because it represents an original they could’ve been playing that they aren’t. I would take Duff doing “so fine” over any tired and boring cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninjapie24 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 So far I haven’t found a GNR cover that I haven’t liked. That is excluding the CD era since I didn’t care about anything live during that time although I love the album. In terms of setlist though, they could drop Black Hole Sun, Wichita, and trade out Seeker for Mama Kin. Wish You Were Here and Layla are cool and I like them, but they’ve been played at every show for 3 years. They could swap them for other covers or better yet, rarities that haven’t been played in forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously speaking, SOYL is originally Hollywood Rose song, not Gn'R. Therefore it's a cover song for all the members of the current lineup - except Axl, who actually was in both bands.

Axl sings it well but it's boring live and I don't have any attachment with the song. Most people in Europe I've spoken to think the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure not like in 2010 but it could be something cool. You wanna know why it sounded like shit in 2013 and 2017? Because he was singing it with Angry Anderson and that's why he sang it differently in a much slower pace. He was singing it in the same pace as Angry Anderson and not like he usually sings it. Because of the slow pace he had to use his singing voice instead of the screaming voice that he uses in Shadow Of Your Love and Brian era AC/DC songs. The slow pace forces Axl to drag his vocals and he can't use his screaming voice if he has to drag the vocals like that. So he had to use his singing voice when he sang it with Angry Anderson. Axl's voice works best when he's doing fast bursts of screaming vocals, just like in SOYL and the Brian era AC/DC songs. It's guaranteed that Axl sounds great on Nice Boys as soon as they do a fast paced version of it again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is another cover that I consider a Guns song.. I didn't even mind the 2017 version... That is the only song from the tour that they didn't put in the "media song list section".. I wish they would.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many in row for sure. In Poland they played Wichita before Don't Cry and I liked it that way. But you're right after SCOM this is a killer for crowd but not like Nightrain kind of killer but mood killer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megaguns1982 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Get in the ring would be an awesome opener, surely they could come up with something instead of axls rant at the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2112 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I enjoyed 'don't let it bring you down's thought I feel good was cool too, even though they messed up the stops...

Caught_in_a_Coma Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Love them. Fav is KOHD. A few other favs are Hair Of The Dog, I'm A Human Being, Black Leather and Since I Don't Have You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megaguns1982 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Human being is probably my favourite cover. Imo axls voice at his best ever. Really hit his prime in 1993. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azifwekare Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) At least we've had enough live covers for TSI 2 . It's just a shame the recordings of the Wembley 06 covers are such shitty quality. I've always dug The Seeker and Liquor & Whores. I would love a soundboard recording of Slither too. I'm really suprised we got Wichita Lineman - Silkworms/My World/etc sound more like GN'R than that song. Not that I'm complaining, it's a beautiful song. Hearing them play I Got You (and the Rocket Queen jams) make me want some funk songs from them - Slash and Fortus both have the chops for it. It was funny when they did Don't Let It Bring You Down. Comments on the live videos had been taking the piss out of his Neil Young/Mickey Mouse voice for years, but as soon as he sang that song it changed to "Wow! He sounds just like Neil Young! What an amazing cover!" Like... dude, it's the same voice . Edited March 3, 2019 by Azifwekare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sosso Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I hoped that they would keep the Another Brick in the Wall cover during the NITL tour. That was a great one. Those covers were also great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarBradley Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I'm sure this view has been said multiple times in this thread, but I'd much rather here UYI/AFD/Lies songs than James Brown, Soundgarden, Glen Campbell, or even The Who or AC/DC. Really seems silly to me to have so many irrelevant covers as a standard part of the setlist. Slither I get, CD stuff I get, LALD and KOHD of course, but anything past that is just annoying. The musician spots where they jam covers are fine with me, but I think that should be the extent of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGeneral Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I love Nice Boys and think they should do Mama Kin again. I'm open for covers, just a bit more variety is needed. I'm sick of BHS and Live & Let Die. Still waiting and begging for Axl to work on his voice and finally do a cover of "Give In To Me". I want that so so bad...I am positive it would be amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
