ChristmasFnatic Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 By old I mean hits til around UYI era. I know different guitarists, etc. have their own style, but which songs in your opinion never sounded the same/lost its "soul"? That not even the much beloved Buckethead can never replicate?Oh and Im not just talking about the guitars, but drums, bass... vocals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunsNRevolvers2 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 5:28-5:38 IS Guns N' Roses, and I love the new band this simply can't be replicated.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 NIghtrainAll incarnations of the post-Slash band have owned the fuck out of Nightrain.Probably the obvious one, but Sweet Child comes to mind instantly. Other than that, the only song I can think of is Brownstone. Watch any versions from the Appetite era... Even the Illusions line-up didn't quite have the swagger that the Appetite line-up gave that song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 None of them can truly be "replicated", but there are some that the current band just never does a good job on, for instance:PatienceYou Could Be MineMr. Brownstone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NewGNRnOldGNR Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 NIghtrainBuckethead reinvented that motherfucker. No other incarnation of the band tops the 2002 interpretation of this number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 NIghtrainBuckethead reinvented that motherfucker.

Young_Gun Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Brownstone is Adler's song! I agree with SCOM and maybe Rocket Queen. I think the band nail Nightrain(rock am 2006). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the band nail Nightrain(rock am 2006).Rocket Queen is as hit and miss as Axl's overall voice. Sometimes they're just playing it, but sometimes it's as gritty and groovy as the old band played it, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Rocket Queen in it's current state is the best I've heard out of all the line-ups. Ashba really gives it a kick that just improves the song more so than the other band line-ups that performed it live. The 2001/2 version was dire though, it was played too quickly and Axl wasn't able to match it's speed. In all, the current band play all the material fantastically, it's only Axl that fucks up occasionally that doesn't make songs as good as what they can be.

No matter how good this current band do, but if the vocals aren't there, or are sub-par... well you can't blame the rest of the band. es, nothing is complete without Axl who can't replicate anything from days gone by. Improvisation, or putting your own/different spin on the actual music is expected in a live show, even planned. I'm not expecting replication, maybe it could be done or not but not without axl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimb0 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Tommy's Bass on RQ definate gives this new band a way heavier vibe on the song. Unfortunately it's all up to Axl. Honestly they'll never be able to replicate them. It just is too much going on. Too many guitars, synth, Axl's voice etc. But they sure can put on a hell of a show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperado Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 the only thing I can think of is the vocals on almost any of the old songs.... and that DJ would probably fuck most things up.... but Fortus, Ron and Tommy would be able to play anything by the old band.

DieselDaisy Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) 1/ YCBM. (It has simply never sounded right under the new guys and Axl cannot sing it).2/ Patience (they always make a dog's dinner of it - always: buffed notes, missing verses, miscued vocals)3/ Brownstone (Needs the Adler swagger).4/ Nightrain (Ture, Bucket did some good stuff but nothing can beat the Appetite band on this song) Edited November 12, 2012 by DieselDaisy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneisKing1389 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) I think I'd agree with Brownstone for sure. Always seems lacking when I hear/see the new band do it.Same goes for the performance energy of Nightrain.I love te 2002/2006 versions of KOHD more though. WAY more, actually. Different beast though, since it wasn't theirs to begin with. Edited November 12, 2012 by DaneisKing1389 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlslash Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 1/ YCBM. (It has simply never sounded right under the new guys and Axl cannot sing it).the Philly 2012 version is the best live performance I've ever seen of YCBM, especially as Axl's vox go. He could barely even handle it back n the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) For some reason My Michelle main riff has always sounded flat with the new guys. However, Slash tone (until 1995) was KILLER. Edited November 12, 2012 by pi2loc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
