DPR714 80 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DoMw94 13 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 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 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Voodoochild 946 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I really dislike what Slash did with Van Halen's original solo in Michael Jackson's Beat It, so I hope not. 25 minutes ago, DPR714 said: They played Aint talkin' Bout Love & Runaround.

Popular Post ©GnrPersia 757 Posted October 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2020 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 2 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sosso 3,797 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 They could include Eruption as Slash's or Richard's solo. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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? Edited October 9, 2020 by ToonGuns Spelling 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chester 524 364 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 as long as Slash can actually nail the Ain't talkin about love into this time, I guess it would be ok. 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If so , what song? 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaskingApathy 2,279 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rickodez 553 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) 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.

I'd hate to hear another cover at this point. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
