Towelie Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 One of my favourites on TSI, along with Human Being, Buick Makane and Hair Of The Dog.TSI is a very underrated record, unfairly dubbed as the black sheep of the GNR canon, but I definately think it holds up to their other albums. I find myself listening to it a lot more than Lies and UYI I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Not a patch on the original, Slash can't play like Steve Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makkonen Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) i still cant work out who even did the original. was it sex pistols? colour me confused. "Black Leather is a hard rock/punk rock song about sadomasochism written by Steve Jones and Paul Cook for their post-Sex Pistols band The Professionals. The song was released as a single, and later included in a collection of Sex Pistols singles called the Pistols Pack.It was later covered by the all-female band The Runaways on their 1978 album, And Now... The Runaways, their last album. Guns N' Roses later recorded a version for their 1993 cover album "The Spaghetti Incident?"."That´s the story pretty much, even if i copied it from Wiki. It´s accurate enough. I have that Pistols Pack (six 7" singles), but personally i don´t count Black Leather as a Sex Pistols-song. It´s Steve Jones / Professionals- song.More info about history of the song and where and when it was written etc. Black Leather and other Pistols trivia Edited July 11, 2012 by makkonen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 This is the best cover they ever did. It's absolutely superb! I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
