It is worse.. Like really bad.. Worse than Guns cover of BHS... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing can be more horrible to me than that cringe inducing grandma sounding falsetto voice Axl uses, so already just for that aspect I prefer this way more. I actually like the arrangement a lot, it's nice to listen to after hearing the original for so long (Patience). Why is GNR not promoting it on their social media platforms?

agustingloger Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 It's beautiful! Nothing beats the original. But Chris is definetly the last great rock singer! Without a doubt he's #1 since 00's .

Estranged wasn't successful at all, musically its the most challenging thing oldGnR created. Its GnR's stairway to heaven. Black Hole Sun has also a unique sound. Its sth, i have never heard before. Its interesting. But this? It bores me. Just watched a Brian Wilson docu yesterday on YouTube. The Beach Boys were a surfer pop band with fun songs and some hits. The only 2 songs which are better than that are God only knows and Good Vibrations imo. Just listen to their greatest hits and tell me that its awesome. Its not. But people said for years that Brian Wilson is a genius and the Beach Boys are as good as the Beatles. Come on...The Beatles went much further than them musically. If Brian Wilson is a genius, then Lady Gaga and many other pop artists are genius, too. It's ridiculous to say "Black Hole Sun was his only real hit". Outshined, Rusty Cage, Fell On Black Days, Spoonman, Be Yourself, Show Me How To Live, he had a bunch of big hits. You lost me with the comparison to Brian Wilson and Lady Gaga... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Brian Wilson is a genius, then Lady Gaga and many other pop artists are genius, too. You really haven't listened to much of the beach boys music if you think they topped out with only two great songs. Also, there's a big difference between Brian Wilson and Lady gaga... he wrote, performed and produced his own music... she is very talented but she works with a lot of producers who mould her ideas... Also... the things he did were incredibly inventive for the time! As for The Beatles! he was influenced by the Beatles AND an he influenced the Beatles! even Paul McCartney has acknowledged this. You might need to do a bit more study, before you totally dismiss one of the most beloved songwriters of all time. Like a stone bores you? ok, but the majority of people love that song, you are clearly in the minority! beautiful arrangement, absolutely breathtaking vocal! For my money there aren't many other songs from the early 00s that have aged as well as this song... Can you think of any? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Like A Stone isn't your cup of tea then to each their own of course, but to say Black Hole Sun was his only hit? If that's not your personal basis for judging the quality of music then I totally get where you're coming from (regarding popular music output), but in Chris Cornell's case I think one can fairly objectively state that his success was not driven by any one band but by his voice and his songwriting. To be able to have top ten hits across three bands (and a solo output), numerous awards, write a Bond song, and so forth just proves that he was the common denominator. He had an amazingly accomplished career despite leaving us much too soon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live Like a Suicide Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Vocally, the cover is great (as usual for Chris). Instrumentally, it does nothing for me. 5 hours ago, Creed said: I totally agree. Black Hole Sun was his only real hit. And its not a feel good song that you want to hear frequently. Coming from someone who has 'Creed' as their username. Just joking.

I get what your saying, but to clarify my position, Eddie Vedder is the last frontman of a classic rock and roll band. There hasn’t been one since the early 90’s rock bands and all those guys died, so he Ishtar last of that lineage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
