77Jesters Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Just been thinking lately, and reading about the intro song of Leonard Cohen - Everybody Knows. I first heard this song years ago as a Concrete Blonde tune, and always assumed it was until I learnt more about Cohen. Now it's got me wondering... Has Axl ever sung any song originally performed by a women?.. I don't think so, well, not that I can think of atm anyway! So the second part of this question is: Should he/they? and what would you suggest? Janis Joplin?, Tina Turner?, Aretha?.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 nah, i dont think he has. it'd be cool to hear him do an old Joplin tune, not a whole song or anything, but like a jam between the songs... somethin like "Cry Baby" or "Piece Of My Heart", just belt out the chorus in his really raspy voice... i think it'd be cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

77Jesters Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Don't post pm's, man. it's against the rules.Fair enough too, thanks for the reminder! However, surely I can mention that jj has bought it to my attention that "In the Asia 09 tour, at the end of If the World, Axl sang a bit of "Love Hangover" by Diana Ross"This, at least answers the question of has, unless it's not the only one?...

AmyL Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I have never been much of a fan of many female singers. but if any of them would be a good choice I would say something from Janis Joplin. Mercedes Benz, Piece of my Heart or Kozmic Blues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bansidhe Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I'd love to hear Axl's take on "Gloria" by Patti Smith (originally by Van Morrison). Proper tune and I reckon they could do a mean, rocked up live version of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no surprise there. did you just call me gay?didn't realize we were still in middle school hereThat was gay too.I wasn't going to bite, and give this fool the attention they want for some pathetic reason, but now, well, can someone just suspend or ban him, continual pointless contributions, however, I do find it amusing that i've been called gay by someone who started a MJ thread that no-one replied to! but also, sweetness, you could have realised he was in middle school, not many of us put both our age, and our i.q at the end of our username like matt does....edit: Back on topic, I think the irony of a old Courtney or Hole song would be quite interesting! Doll Parts, Malibu etc, not a whole song, but just a sample... Edited January 22, 2010 by DvntJester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
