The Real McCoy Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 First of all, RIP Tom Petty. We know that Axl and Tom have history. It sucks given the circumstances, but I’d love to hear Axl sing “Free Fallin” again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Its Tino Posted October 3, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2017 Since GNR is the worlds most famous cover band, I'd say chances are high we'll get a tom petty cover. 6 2 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 The range with which he sang Free Fallin back then, is completely gone from his voice now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyPrettyTiedUpMichelle Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 It's a good idea in theory, but in practice? Not a risk I'd like Axl to take to be honest, much as I love that duet they did. The verses he might do ok on because they fall nearer his lower register but he'd just Mickey the chorus and I don't want to hear that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBucky Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) He's able to rasp it up on the James Brown song a bit, I'd be interested it hearing it if they drop a different cover song for it. It would go over better than some of the other covers. Edited October 3, 2017 by GoBucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironmt Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I think Axl could handle Learning to Fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real McCoy Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 If Axl could sing the higher parts like he did on “Sailing”, he’d knock it out of the park. Or, he’d rasp it like he does “I Feel Good”, if for no other reason than to show reverence for someone that he admires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appetite4illusions Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 With all respect to Petty, if GN'R didn't do a Prince tribute, they shouldn't bother with something like Free Falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soon Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Dont get me wrong - I love that duet. But Axls rasp was way over the top. He could sing it like a normal human singer and it would sound even better IMO. However, the need for GNR to change up their stale set list is almost forming a symbiotic relationship with the all too frequent deaths of legendary musicians. Not ideal if you ask me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I think the chances are pretty high, unfortunately. And Axl will almost definitely sing it with his worst fucking voice. Hope I'm wrong though. I'd actually be curious to hear them do Anything That's Rock N Roll with Axl and Duff splitting the vocal duties, and Melissa in the background. 1 hour ago, The Black said: Please god, no cover of Free Fallin with Mickey.

Feibo Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 it's a great piece of history the Tom Petty & Axl duet, but I'm also afraid it will be like a really bad remake of a classic film you love if they would play it now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I'm pretty sure at the next GNR concert there will be a dedication to Tom Petty. Axl should sing "Free Falling" he and Tom did it live and I bet Axl would rock it. The GNR set list will continue to grow with each death of a great musician. It's a way to remember them.

marlingrl03 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I feel if they are going to do another cover in honor of the late Tom, may he RIP....then maybe take out BHS in the set list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Jay Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 What about having guests instead of covering dead people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Gunner Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 personally id rather hear refugee and i think with axls voice the way it is right now, it would work out a lot better than with free falling. but i agree with most here. would prefer a new gnr song over new covers. chances are we wont get new gnr stuff at this years gigs anyways so if they must add a petty cover please drop the seeker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Cantona Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I feel like the way the band currently sounds, it'd sound more like a parody than a tribute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
