killuridols Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I hope he doesn't give up on perfecting his BHS and plays it again next show. The whole band sounded weird... There were some Dizzy add-ons that lasted too long and I didn't like the solo. Axl should have used the same voice he used for 'Big Shot'. Mickey will never suit a grunge song.

No, they need to add their own personal fills and licks to make the song their own! you know what?! lets celebrate the guns n aliens tour instead! lets be happy about what we have! lets believe the guitar solo on black hole sun fit the song just fine!

He was playing similar to how it was played on the record. They wanted to honor Chris' memory by playing the song and they did. Literally no reason to sit around and turn it into an attack on the band because you didn't like the cover.

D.. Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Very cool that they played this song and that they played it this well with such a short time to learn it, hope they can keep it til Paris, would love to hear it live. Bear in mind they played Coma just after that (damn they even played There was a time)... Incredible. Killer setlist. Wonder how Axl manages that at his age. I'm not going to nitpick shit. Glad they did this. The Paris gig will probably be the last time I see this band live, so I'm going to enjoy every single second of it, perfect or not. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant understand why is that axl dont allow them to rest for a full song or a full show or a full tour! a full tour! they certainly deserve it! com on axl, give it to them! Damn it, get over it! 20 years and still not enough? Be happy Slash and Duffy are back, but Richard, Frank and all the others are members of the band now and as such are entitled to bring in their own ideas as long as the rest of the band approves them which seems to be the case. As artists, it's their right and duty to be creative. Richard will never sound like Slash and Frrank willl never sound like Steve, but that's fine. It's their damn right to do their own stuff! If you don't like it, that's fine, too, but once again, get over it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXL_N_DIZZY Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I think it was a solid effort- and more importantly a wonderful gesture. Not sure what anyone was really expecting here. Not like after a tribute to a great and well-liked singer people are going to be like: "Amazing! Axl killed it! Chris Cornell who!?!?". To me they get points for being aware enough to honor a singer and band long-time fans knew they admired- and had significant history with. On to Spain...

Magnus Cavalerra Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 The little piano intro is sweet, if they not planning to play BHS again, they should keep that for other song intro just like Only Women Bleed or Voodoo Child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 As I said it is the Darryl Jones thing. The Stones lost Wyman. Replaced Wyman with somebody who does the exact same job. Does not include him as a full 'Stone'; does not have him in band photos etc etc. In affect The Stones went from a five piece to a four piece! According to their wikipedia, they're only two members of The Who! Who plays bass and drums one wonders (rhetorical question)? Legacy acts.
