Irish Rose Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Hi all, As a fan who has listened to all GNR's music back to front multiple times, I got bored recently and set myself a challenge. I started comparing the various sounds produced by individual members in their solo music / collaborations (Post Illusions), and thought it would be interesting to find the songs that most comparable to the AFD album. Sometimes it just came down to an individual guitar / drum part, and other times I was trying to find comparable big hitters e.g. WTTJ, PC, SCOM The songs I found most comparable are below (They were by no means my favourite / best songs) 1 Welcome to the Jungle Velvet Revolver Slither 2 Its So Easy Velvet Revolver Dirty Little Thing 3 Nightrain Velvet Revolver Spectacle 4 Out Ta Get Me Slash's Snakepit (V1) Good to be Alive 5 Mr Brownstone Slash's Snakepit (V2) Life's Sweet Drug 6 Paradise City SMKC Anastasia 7 My Michelle SMKC Shots Fired 8 Think About You Gilby Clarke Heart of Chrome 9 Sweet Child O'Mine Velvet Revolver Fall to Pieces 10 You're Crazy Izzy Stradlin & the JuJu Hounds Bucket O' Trouble 11 Anything Goes SMKC Carolina 12 Rocket Queen Slash's Snakepit (V1) Back and Forth Again Very interested to find out your own opinions, and what would potentially fit better?! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karice Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 This is a good thread idea and I'm surprised it hasn't been responded to yet. It would have been interesting to have heard the "Spin off," Bands such as Velvet Revolver and Slash's Snakepit do covers of Appetite For Destruction songs. But it be hard to try to do justice to Axl's singing. Axl has a unique, distinct, signature voice, so People who try to do covers of Axl's songs have very huge shoes to fill and their work cut out for them. Judges on here managed to cover Axl's Oh My God song and did the song justice and sounded good while sounding NOTHING like Axl, a very hard feat to do. If you're going to cover an Axl song, you'd better make sure you do the song justice and sound GOOD like Judges did. If any of the "Spin off," Bands could do Axl's songs justice while sounding good, well, that would have been a real treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some drummers can do the Gn'R feel better than others. It's not something you can learn. Edited March 24, 2023 by Rovim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sure they also covered “wish you were here” at that gig, but it was a different one. I saw VR 4 times and It’s morphed into 1 gig in my head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would've been cool if Duff and Axl had done Dust N Bones, YATF, So Fine or Raw Power since 2016 but obviously it isn't gonna happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
