Karice Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) Axl has an entire Album of JUST covers, The Spaghetti Incident, but that was 31 years ago. Outside of The Spaghetti Incident he has covered You May Be Right by Billy Joel, Live And Let Die by Paul McCartney , Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, Knocking On Heaven's Door by Bob Dylan . What songs would you love to hear Axl cover? 😀💡🤔 I would love to hear him cover Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin and I feel he would kill the ending Crescendo part. 😀💡🤔 Edited August 4 by Karice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Something like this would be my ideal record from the current lineup... they've performed most of these songs but studio recordings would be great. Desperado (Alice Cooper) Walk All Over You (AC/DC) Don't Believe A Word (Thin Lizzy / Gary Moore... they'd kill it on either the fast or slow version) The Seeker (The Who) Wichita Lineman (Glen Campbell) I Wanna Be Your Dog (The Stooges) Marseilles (The Angels) My My, Hey Hey (Neil Young) Â Sell me that overpriced LP and play most of those songs live, I'd buy another ticket in a heartbeat. I got to see them play Marseilles in 2014 and Axl sounded great, they first covered it in the 80s and it's similar to his vocals on Bad Obsession... he could still sound great on it these days. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great if Axl could release another full length just covers album like you suggested. 😀🤔ðŸ¤ðŸ’¡ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specifically on the 88-91 tours. There's plenty of other songs by Janis Joplin, Thin Lizzy, the Stones, AC/DC, Gordon Lightfoot, Joe Walsh, etc but Razamanaz would've been so cool... edit: a guy who's been there since the beginning goes by the handle deljamesgang, but they've never played Walk Away... it's a damn shame Edited August 2 by Gordon Comstock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karice Posted August 2 Author Share Posted August 2 Hmm. Janis Joplin had a distinctive raspy voice. Maybe Axl would sound phenomenal covering at least one Janis Joplin sing, notably Piece Of My Heart which is one of Janis's raspiest songs. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rindmelon Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) New Guns era covering Burn by The Cure, not something they would pick I expect but i think it would have worked. Lost In The City Of Angels by LA.Guns too Think slither style tom drum based beat, the Bass line for this song with a hint of Chorus effect for Duff would have a driving 'Monsters' style Edited August 2 by Rindmelon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerInThisTown Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) I already got my wish, as a big Elvis fan I wanted GNR to do Heartbreak Hotel, and when I found out years later after really getting into the band and becoming a fan that they demoed it for Appetite, I was a very happy guy lol Edited August 2 by StrangerInThisTown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guns fam Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 CCR - I heard it through the grapevine Slash and Axl would sound great on this song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
