Popular Post adamsapple Posted May 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2019 GNR version was great until they bloated it up to a 20 minute wankfest and singalong. I like how they did it at the Marquee in London in 1987, amazing live version, powerful and to the point. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Clapton doing covers is the definition of snoozefest, always sounds like he has too much respect for the originals, same with his I Shot The Sheriff cover, such a powerful and gritty song from Bob Marley and he turned it into a cocktail version. Come to think of it, GNR doing Marley would be fucking awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His voice is so droney and boring and it makes me angry. Donovan's house in Hatfield is getting a blue plaque. It'll get nicked cos it's in Hatfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan's singing transitioned pretty dramatically from intelligible to garbled in a short period of time. Kind of like Tom Waits sounding relatively normal then all of a sudden singing like a hoarse bear, which I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they dropped it from the setlist I would never miss it. I know very casual fans want to hear it and sing along tho Edited May 4, 2019 by Ericstacey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nashville Skyline was a pronounced departure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KOHD went from a song I liked to being a song that I never want to hear again in my entire life because of how long they stretch it out for. It's the only song I sat down for at the shows I've gone to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the MTV Unplugged performance from 1996 where Noel sang lead on everything proves that all of those songs still sound great even without Liam.

donny Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 GNR version of KOHD in the 80's was bad ass, better than the original. even then uncle Ax wanted a bit of a sing along sometimes. from the UYI tour to the present day KOHD has been nothing more than a half time interval for me, i take a piss and grab another pint during that long drawn out rubbish.

I can understand to a point why KOHD is extended but RQ just doesn't make any sense. Slash's 20 min version of RQ from 2012/13 was pure magic. Never liked the extended KOHD version. I love GNR's studio version but just until the second solo ends. From then on it just getting weird. It suffers from Axl's typical UYI-oveproduction. So there ain't no better version of that song than the Marquee version '87. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was classic, Liam was supposed be sick and he's in a skybox getting drunk heckling Noel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 The thing with the Gallaghers is you don't take them 100% literally/seriously. You only take them about 70-80% literally/seriously. Then it all make sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody can understand a fucking word Bob Dylan says, anyone claiming they did would have proven the story a fraud, right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
