wasted Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 It could be a Stinson selection he was doing My Generation at some point.Stinson is really into that era of british music, he's been covering the sex pistols on the tourSeems like a tough band to cover. Does he do The Clash too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYWIFEMYLIFE Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 1- Seeker is all about Mikhail Bakunin, greatest activist and theorist of all time. 2- It is the song they ripped of for You're crazy, so it's a tribute and apology to The Who Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cleave to no system. I am a true seeker." On the other hand, "You're crazy" is obviously inspired by The Seeker. Got no doubt for this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Worse gnr cover of all timeI think it's one of their better ones.I'd sure rather here Seeker and Riff Raff at their next show than another snooze fest of The Neil young song or Live and Let Die or the way they currently do Heaven's Door!!!

Am just not a fan of the song not they do a bad job of covering itGuns at least recorded KOHD and Live n Let Die , but I prefer the covers of The Seeker, Rosie and Riff Raff, even Marseilles was decent, drop the Neil Young Cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Route66 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Heralded to GNR fans as new music but not. Its a Who Song. A Good Song. An old song.Axl blows the fuck out of this song in a good way. Daltrey must have been impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go with Petes quote about divine desperation. Seems to sum Axl quite well. It's kind of like Satisfaction. So lyrically Axl is looking for a heart in a world that's much too dark is Seeker inspired. Why don't they just play You're Crazy?It's like Axl is guiding us through what they stole to make the records. Don't let it get you Down is like Paradise City. Emotional Rescue next! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
