Trunk said it's a cover of a song by one of his (Trunk's) favorite bands, and Glen Campbell is neither a band nor (I suppose) among Trunk's favorite artists. I thought of Eric Carmen/The Raspberries (because Axl is a big fan and played "Everything" as an intro to November Rain during the UYI tour) and I'd love that too, but considering that the session was with Michael Schenker's producers, it's likely UFO or something like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious to know which band it is. I know Trunk really likes Van Halen and Kiss, but I guess we'll have to wait and see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betterman Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Van halen would have been cool, but wich track hmmm... Runnin with the devil? Mean street? Dreams - this one would have been a torture for Axl to sing (even in his prime) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 GNR should’ve hit the studio to record Wichita Lineman back in 2017 to test the waters, especially with how highly Axl thought of the bands rendition of it and that it reminded him of old Guns. That said, curious to hear this whatever it is and to hear where Axl’s studio vocal chops are currently. Mitch Lafon claimed a few year back that Axl had done a cover of Children of the Revolution for a T. Rex tribute album. Obviously nothing came of it, but one of the fellas behind the tribute album had heard rumours of Axl doing something for another project.

2020_Intensions Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Why are we believing what Eddie Trunk says? Why can't it be secret recordings for a new GnR album? If we don't believe what Slash says why do we believe Trunk? MYGNR logic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Mitch Lafon initially said that he had heard that GN'R had recorded a cover of Children of the Revolution for a tribute album. Then that rumour was debunked by the producer of said tribute album, who though said he had heard that Axl (not GN'R) might have recorded the same song for another tribute.

Would have made a great GnR cover. Fits their style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuerta86 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) Based on that clip and the Schenker picture, I'm convinced the cover song is by UFO. Trunk has gone on record saying that Strangers in the Nigh is one of his favorite records. Not convinced it's for a tribute album, I'm leaning more towards a Schenker solo album due to having Micahel Voss in the studio. Schenker last album featured a cover of In Search of Piece of Mind; I believe that's the first song he ever wrote and was in the Scorpions Lonesome Crow. I'm cautiously optimistic, yet excited at having Axl, Slash and Schenker on a UFO track. If he can do vocals ala Sebastian Bach Angel Down then this will be killer. I'm actually more excited over this than Perhaps 😅 A safe guess would be Doctor Doctor as the cover track. It's just a classic. This is my favorite take of Doctor Doctor Schenker recorder in his later years. 46 minutes ago, Free Bird said: Schenker doin a tribute to Schenker? I wouldnt put it past him. Two of Schenkers last albums cover mirror Biblical imagery where he is pretty much the Jesus figure getting crucified in a Flying V guitar and is the center figure in a Last Supper type of photo. 😅 Despite what Trunk said, I think this will be a MSG record featuring a UFO cover song.

colonizedmind Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 If we're going for Scorpions theme....I'd personally love to hear Axl's take on "Still Loving You". Tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
