Would GNR add a Van Halen song to the set, once they are back on the road?

[DPR714 80]

Some of the members have played VH, in Velvet Revolver, for the Van Halen ROF induction. They played Aint talkin' Bout Love & Runaround.  They were not well received, I think mostly due to Weiland.  Do you think they would add a song since they have a history of doing this? If so , what song?

Maybe if they were touring now it'd be a possibility, but I reckon once they finally get back on the road the moment would've passed

I really dislike what Slash did with Van Halen's original solo in Michael Jackson's Beat It, so I hope not.

I do miss Slash's tone from that era (and from the Illusions and Snakepit).

I mean yea why not, like GN'R doesn't have enough covers in the setlist.

I would say an ideal setlist should look like this:

WTTJ

LALD

Nice Boys

Attitude

The Seeker

Riff Raff

Dead Flowers

KOHD (18 minutes version)

Don't Let It Bring You Down

Down On The Farm

Sailing

Paradise City

Don't forget Slash's 18 minute Rocket Queen solo.

They could include Eruption as Slash's or Richard's solo.

Me too. I'm not a guitarist so I don't understand why it has changed, but that 90's sound was always unmistakably Slash... just perfect, and it's missing now. Is it kit (amps, pedals etc), or his fingers / playing?

I appreciate EVH as much as everyone else but not everyone who passes away needs to be covered by GN'R.

Also, I don't want to gnrs piss poor version of Ain't talkin' bout love! If they could donate great off the cuff version then ok, but it would need to be a one and done affair, unlike BHS, Witchita etc.

Yes, it seems as he has lost his "magic", and now he is centered in playing fast. I don't find any feeling on Slash nowdays.

exactly, idk what it is but the real feeling is gone,  sounded better hen he was wasted haha!

[Chester 524 364]

as long as Slash can actually nail the Ain't talkin about love into this time, I guess it would be ok.

Agreed on this. I prefer the 2006-2014 live versions for sure. 

[Gordon Comstock 5,456]

Fortus will play Eruption before Wish You Were Here.

Axl would probably want to cover Ice Cream Man.

[rocknroll41 2,405]

They should cover the entire Van Halen III album. That outta do the trick!

It wasn't well received due to the drama that was surrounding Van Halen at that time. People wanted to see VH perform their own song, whether it was Sammy or Roth singing. It really had nothing to do with Velvet Revolver.

Seemingly there's no way we'll hear Slash tapping anything so he never will play solos like Beat It note for note. Slash won't be the problem if the band decides to cover a song. There are weaker spots in GNR right now...guess who?

[MaskingApathy 2,279]

Maybe for the VR cover it would've been better if Dave had done the lead parts (he had the guitar after all). I would be down to see GnR try a cover and it would be cool to see Slash and the others do their own spin on it. Maybe Unchained or something like that.

Surely we Can get rid of Frank now Alex is unemployed, imagine the YCBM intro

[Rickodez 553]

If they do, i hope they are more prepared this time. That VR RnR HOF performance lmao. Why Slash? Why would you play Ain't Talking About Love like that? Just Why?

Probably the easiest VH song, and the most iconic to me. So simple, so good.

But i think Axl would do a great job in that song, it's not a hard song to sing, you just need attitude, very similar to some AFD songs in that way.

Axl can't sing his own music anymore. I'd hate to hear another cover at this point.
