Caught_in_a_Coma Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) My favorite is Since I Don't Have You. I love music from the 50s and I love GN'R songs about heartache. So this track is just an awesome blending of a few musical interests of mine. So many lines from the song eeriely predict what would become of the band:"Yeah, we're *******""When you walked out on me, in walked ol' misery, and she's been here since then"Fitting that the video for this song was the last one the Illusion lineup didBonus: Do you have a song you'd like to see GN'R cover?

Słash Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Stairway to HeavenHighway to HellAxl's vocals on them would sound really good, All of this is just an hypothetical thing, but it would be great to see the original and only Guns N' Roses cover these songs.

Colossus of Rhodes Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 this one was totally overlooked/underrated, and considering GnR's connection with str.. exotic dancers: notice very cool and calm style. it's a pity never exploited alive.. great potential.

Rovim Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) First 17 seconds are priceless. Best Axl intro dance. I just always wanted to hear Axl sing Don't Let It Bring You Down.

Gunner55 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I always loved down on the farm for some reason. Modern day Guns would definitely be the seeker. Song fit his lack of rasp voice perfectly IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colossus of Rhodes Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 :D the thing is, Izzy could make songs like this any time of the day, so why cover, nevertheless it's right down their alley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 For a band with such a small catalog of original music, hopefully we won't hear any new covers for a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvH Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) From what they have done? Ain't It Fun, by far.Axl Rose, Slash and Michael Monror one the same track? Sonic heaven.What I'd loved to hear in place of fucking LALD or KOHD during the band's prime era? Their rendition of "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" or "Sabbra Cadabra". Imagine 80s /90s Axl on that. Jesus.

Millions Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 As much as I wish GNR had spent more time on original music and less on covers, I LOVE Ain't It Fun and Sympathy For The Devil. I know Sympathy is supposed to be the sound of a band breaking up, but I love that hard, darker interpretation of the Stones' original in particular. And Slash's work on Ain't It Fun was incredible. Both versions are so much better than the originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kater Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 As a huge punk lover, I like most of punk songs they covered.Somehow, Down on the farm is my no. 1.They made a great song from pretty shitty original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colossus of Rhodes Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 IMO they did a great job with all the covers [with a exception of Sympathy, which is fine but not great (it's a major hit, by a major group, that still operates/operated in a major way, plus cover is done in pretty much the same way as the original)], which is really rare.This one is like a GnR prototype LOL, and quite obscure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
