TSI: Covers vs. Originals


Vincent Vega

Recommended Posts

Let's go song by song on TSI. Which is better, GN'R's version or the original.

My opinion:

Since I Don't Have You - GN'R's version is better.

Black Leather - GN'Rs version is better

Buick Makane - GNR's version is better

Raw Power - Original is better

Attitude - GN'R's is better

Hair of the Dog - Original is better

You Can't Your Arms Around a Memory - Original is better

Ain't It Fun - Original is better

Human Being - Original is better

I Don't Care About You - Original is better

New Rose - GN'R's is better

Look At Your Game Girl - Original is better.

I'm just hanging out on a Saturday afternoon, so if you want to get stupid, let's get stupid.

You're not a fellow user. You're an ant under my boot.

And you're a Libertarian, which makes you about equal to a terrorist in my book.

lol Libertarian. I'm no such thing.

Can't come up with anything better? You used terrorist on Lenny already.

If you can run buckwild on this forum, so can others. Especially since you're the lowest life form on the forum.

It's a very subjective question, but a cool one:

Since I Don't Have You - GN'R

New Rose - The Damned

Down On The Farm - GNR

Human Being - GNR

Raw Power - Tied b/w GNR and Iggy

Ain't It Fun - GNR over Rocket From Tombs and Dead Boys

Buick McKane - T. Rex

Hair Of The Dog - Naz

Attitude - GNR

Black Leather - GNR

You Can't Put... - Depends which version of Johnny Thunders you compare

I Don't Care About You - Fear by a slight margin

Look At Your Game - GNR



Apart from Human Being, GNR versions are better imo. GNR has always been very good with covers.

Interesting. I always felt Human Being was by far the best improvement from the original. I also always felt the Damned version of New Rose was by far better than GNRs. All the rest are close toss-ups IMO.

It's tough, cuz it's like asking if I'd rather beat your fucking head in myself or watch someone else do it. Both options are appealing.

:rofl-lol:

Since I Don't Have You - GNR

Black Leather - have only listened to GNR's once and never the original

Buick Makane - haven't heard the original Buick Makane, but I can't imagine it being worse than GNR's. Original Big Dumb Sex is better.

Raw Power - haven't heard original

Attitude - GNR (still shit)

Hair of the Dog - Original takes the GNR version out back, fucks it in the skull and leaves it to rot

You Can't Your Arms Around a Memory - lol

Ain't It Fun - original

Human Being - GNR

I Don't Care About You - lol

New Rose - GNR

Look At Your Game Girl - lol

Miser you forgot Down on the Farm (GNR version is better)
