I really like "Our House", by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. But I guess it would be thread drift to mention it here.

I always liked the one where at the end Axl shrieks, "SO YOU CAN SUCK ME", and then, spoken, "TAKE THAT ONE TO HEART"

Their punk rock cover album had 4 or 5 great songs. I think their Dead Boys cover was the best of the bunch.

I like both:
'Sweet child of mine'
'Welcome to the Jungle'
I never really did like Axel's voice or delivery all that much, but I figure all stars, if you cut them loose to solo have something to show. For example a country star might get up at an awards ceremony and play three cowboy chords while a 6 piece band does the work for them. Yet if they had to do it themselves they most likely would have a lot more to show than three simple cowboy chords.
Same with Axel.
I don't know where, when or how...
One time I heard a recording of Axel doing a semi classical piece.
No weird inflection or 'pop' trills and thrills, just straight up melody.
I was blown away, man can that guy sing. That made me realize that guy could prolly screech and gyrate apoplectic enough to scare even Joe Cocker, or lay down a sweet soulful melody to rival even 'JT'

SS not to punt your adoration of GnR but....
They did a concert w/ Metallica in Canada and Metallica had an accident with a flash pot. Burned the Heck out of Mettalica frontman ( Hospitalized). Gnr could have saved the day and played a solid set but Asshole Rose didn't feel like it. They did 2 songs and stopped playing, a riot brokeout many people were seriously injured all because GnR couldn't step up to the plate. If Mike O says they can't work and I say they are Punters... That about covers it.
Sometimes you have freinds that will step up and cover your back and then theres the rest.. GnR is the rest. They have a few good songs but so does Barbara S and that Canouk Chichk C.D.

i didn't know those things, but i have the feeling that if i knew what a lot of rock bands were up to, i wouldn't like them. but i don't want to be friends with the band. i just like some of their songs :)
kind of like how i can appreciate a degas painting, even tho i think the guy was a scumbag.

Slash has thrown down a few good solos, and they have a couple
of decent songs but I can't get past Axel's fake voice.
Ghey.

hmmm, maybe they just wrote "november rain" and "estranged" to get chicks to buy their albums. i don't currently own any of their music, because when i turned 16 i threw them all away (literally), but i recently heard "november rain" on the radio, and it reminded me of how much i used to love it, and some of their other songs.

Growing up near the rez we changed the lyrics of "Paradise City" to
Take me down to Tuba City
Where the grass is dead and the girls are shitty
Oh, won't you please take me home
Pretty clever stuff for sixth graders if you ask me. What were are parents doing letting us listen to that stuff?

I think Shack and I might get a little more worked up about a Frank Marino thread. GnR has some fine tunes, That one song where he had to kill her and now she's burried in his back yard and they did a decent rip of Pauls ( remember those silly boys from Liverpool) Live and Let die. I hope Sir Paul got his mechanical royalties for it at least he needs all he can get to pay off "ILENE".

"Only Axel could get Canadians to throw a riot."
There was a riot in Vancouver in 1972, for the Rolling Stones.

Toss a vote in for "My Michelle" and "Rocket Queen"
And you have to give the Gunners credit, they rose from the hair band crap that was the eighties, as a no-nonsense, hard hitting straight up rock band.
