axllent Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 i do not understand why gnr never tried to cover songs by lynyrd skynyrd...."simple man" even sounds like civil war/don't cry....and ronnie van zant's speaking voice was very axlish...i never saw axl wearing a lynyrd skynyrd shirt (however axl's clothes on kohd and civil war had these southern elements ;P)but wasnt gnr inspired by them? if i wouldnt know that gnr comes from l.a. i had say its also a southern rock band....and i really love the sound of civil war, paradise city, sweet home alabama, simple man, etc....unfortunately there wont be songs like that on cd, i think....are there any gnr quotes with regard to lynyrd skynrd ? ;P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bin laden killed gnr Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Maybe Axl just doesn't want to cover some overrated, cousin screwing racists?Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busngabb Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 The vast majority of the setlist is covers of a band from LA called Guns n' Roses. The last thing we need is to cover Lynyrd Skynyrd on the next tour. We need new material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnold layne Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I'd be sort of pissed if Axl covered a song by them. We've waited for the album for how many years? The last thing I'd want to hear on the album would be a cover song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appetite4illusions Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) There's lots of other stuff I'd like them to cover before Skynyrd. But to be frank I'll be more interested in hearing Prostitute & This I Love played live.As far as recording covers, "Sailing" would be pretty much the only one I'd be eager for.

axllent Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) racists? are you kidding me? the same racists as axl in one in a million maybe ;Pof course we need more new material....but lynyrd covers are much better than beautiful by aguilera or sympathy for the devil by the stones....

Axlin08 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Maybe Axl just doesn't want to cover some overrated, cousin screwing racists?Just my opinion.Remember who your talking about jack. The same frontman who wore a Confederate jacket while singing Civil War, and wrote the song OIAM.At least Skynyrd never done anything as racist as OIAM.Guns doing Freebird would be fuckin' epic (seriously, no Baz parody).

Randy Lahey Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) I could see Axl doing a rant, saying "this is reason why the old band broke up", and then going into "That Smell". Edited March 30, 2008 by Randy Lahey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you ever see Lynyrd Skynyrd possibly hanging with Ice T and the rest of bodycount?Yeah, I can picture Ronnie Van Zandt wearing an NWA hat.Ignorance is what causes people to believe the confederate flag means "yay for slavery". The South had whites working with blacks in the fields. Everyone was pretty poor. It was more of the rebellion against industrialization. The south had no representatives and so it was a revolution in a way. Those who are offended by it and those who wear it to offend under the ignorant perception of that flag are all idiots. Personally, I think Axl would know the true meaning of the flag. Unless he is an idiot too.back on topic I guess......If New GNR were to cover a southern rock band. The Allman brothers would be an awesome choice. Edited March 30, 2008 by bin laden killed gnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young had written songs like "Southern Man" and "Alabama," which implied that people in the Southern US were racist and stuck in the past. Skynyrd responded with this, a song about Southern pride"Southern pride" eh? May as well be saying "White pride". Neil Young is right. Instead of moving forward and coming together to solve the REAL problems, it's all about "that jiggaboo" this and "porch monkey" that.Lynyrd Skynyrd is popular among inbred wastes of space. Truth hurts I guess. Maybe Axl just doesn't want to cover some overrated, cousin screwing racists?Just my opinion.spoken like a true piece of shitPieces of shit speak? Amazing reply.
