So this is what it's come to - a Guns N Roses tribute made up of the "who's who" of the current hardcore/metal scene. For the life of me, I can't tell if this CD is supposed to be one gigantic tongue wedged firmly in cheek, or if these bands are really taking themselves, and their task at hand, seriously.

This cd really sucked. Its pretty bad when 18 visions have the standout track. I'm from the south...to say that GNR were a big influence on the teased hair and nuthugger generation would be an understatement. I never liked em really. Undeniably, they had talent...but they played the most predictable music ever. And axl is an asshole. Def leppard and Skid row did it for me. Anyone who says that G n'R weren't good muscians never played an instrument - that's for sure! They where pousers that's for sure but that has nothing to do with their music. I think there are to many greenhorns on this website! Guns n Roses was a lame cock rock hair band with more talent than the average lame cock rock hair band....which means they still sucked hard....they could just play that shitty music with more technique and skill. What GnR has to do with punk rock I don't know...just because the drummer wore a TSOL tshirt and they covered a Misfits song (which they thoroughly fucked up covering by the way) doesn't mean that these guys are anything better than shit. Most of these "chugga chugga riff riff growl growl" bands suck too...about as much fun as taking a shit. This isn't hardcore and GnR isn't good music.....and that is that. Oh, and to the guy a few down, Van Halen may have been able to play....but that couldn't save them from stinkingf like cow feces....just more and more cock rock with frontmen who are more afraid of primping their hair and banging hookers than the music. Laaaaaaaaaaaamest bands ever... "Let's face it - Guns N Roses, for all their ridiculous antics, were one of the best hard rock bands to ever exist." Zombie Apocalypse totally fucked up "Welcome to the Jungle." Rock N Roll is not about acting like professional wrestlers... Gotta agree, would have been better to spread the tribute over other genres. I don't think I'll bother downloading it, even. rightcliqificus, you are a moron. Whether you like the music or not is irrelevant. That band did more for rock and roll than most bands out there now. They ARE one of the greatest bands ever. Guns N Roses are one of the best bands in history?????????????? Are you kidding me? thats just nuts. nothing about that band is flawless. If i had a time machine, one of the first things i'd do would be to go back in time and murder those fucking assholes No one really gives a fuck BSD, go eat a dick Thrash is the only metal I like. I don't see much comparison with hair metal crap and hardcore mixed with British metal (Venom, Motorhead). I also like death metal. 3l1t3 h4x0r5 0n teh yUor pC? OH NOS!! YUOR MEGAHURTZ HAEV BEEN STOELED!!!11 thrash is STILL metal dumbass This album fucking sucks !!! guns n roses is an amazing band. and always will be bye 311? You do NOT fuck with Van Halen. Listen to "Running With The Devil" or "Dance The Night Away." Maybe "Panama." Van Halen will forever dominate as the greatest band ever. Fuck lumping them in with "80s metal." Just because David Lee Roth wore spandex doesn't mean that the dude can't screech. And Eddie? No one can touch him on guitar, not too mention Alex playing some of the most complicated and techinical drum fills EVER. Guns N' Roses will always be a shitty hook driven band that never truly explored music, but if you break down a Van Halen song, you've got music theory out the ass. Not to mention that until 1984 all their albums were recorded live in the studio. What band can you truly say that about? I don't like GnR, although they are better than what is usually labeled 80's "metal" (IE Van Halen, Twisted Sister, etc. which is really just pop music), they still pretty much blow. I saw them once wayyyy back in the day, back when they were just starting to make a name for themselves....Rollins Band was actually opening for them which I thought was quite odd, Henry made Axel look like the hair crazed pretty boy that he is. And to the guy that said Slayer was "80's metal"...I hope you're joking, I think the kid was refering to 80's hair metal not 80's thrash which is what Slayer is. Infact, if it weren't for all the satanic imagery there wouldn't be much to seperate Slayer from hardcore bands like DRI or Verbal Abuse. 1-2-3-4! Listen up now here we go! "This score is for the reviewer's assumption that everyone else on the planet bought into the hype that Guns'n'Roses were worth half a shit. Yeah, "Blaxl Rose" is this huge black guy that sings for a local RVA GnR tribute band, "Rocket Queen". Everyone in the band wears costumes and wigs and shit when they perform. And this guy sounds JUST LIKE AXL. Bomb shit. You know, as much as a lot of scene kids hate them, I will always love Guns N Roses. I will purchase this album for a couple of reasons besides my love of the original band, namely to support Suburban Home. You know what song kicks ass? "I used to love her" It is dark and kicks ass, hard. "Paradise City was the first rock song I got into when I was like 6." wow....i remember when ska was the big music type to do this sort of thing...except now insted of it being fun and with nerds,it's mostly with jocks and consisting of beating up people. Fuck this record, you dudes need to check out the Corrosion of Conformity tribute record that came out a few years ago. It had What Happens Next? and Capitalist Casualties on it if I remember correctly. WxHxNx? is the best "positive" hardcore band to come out since 7 seconds. Blaxl Rose? a black axl rose? are you for real? I took this as meaning that if you don't get goose bumps hearing this you're not a fan of music IN GENERAL. Paradise City was the first rock song I got into when I was like 6. Still love that one. 1-2-3-4! Listen up now here we go! To whoever responded to me: make sure that your response is geared toward the right person. Those weren't my comments. i'd say the only osng worth listening to on this whole cd is Eighteen Visions cover of "Paradise City". they played realy well and he didnt scream through the whole song like everyone else. this cd sucks. the bands on this cd suck. GNR deserve better than this. is i was in GNR and heard there was a tribute album coming out about my band, i would be highly dissappointed when listening to what these bands did to my songs. im offened that these bands call this a "tribute" to Guns n Roses. Quite possibly one of the WORST releases ever! actually, the ZA cover sounded awesome. "shit punk"? sorry, you must be looking for cockrocknews.org since when is "chaoscore" considered a genre? that's the lamest fucking term I've ever term. Plus, he didn't even say the DEP song sucked, he just said they destroyed the song. Moron. Oh yeah, this is in response to "Jesse" man the zombie apocalypse cover was good until it stopped sounding like a GNR cover and turned into shit punk. This score is for the reviewer's assumption that everyone else on the planet bought into the hype that Guns'n'Roses were worth half a shit. fuck GNR, i hate every 80's "metal" band out there. that covers sucks too damn much Pffft i thought welcome to the jungle was the absolute worst track on this cd dude..that mp3 is pure shit...axl is rolling over in his grave of what used to be a successful career - Tahoe Jeff "On an utterly random note, I looked but found no review for The Exploding Hearts' album on here. No one bothered to submit one? BSD, get on this." You wanna see a good GNR tribute? Check at the RVA band "Rocket Queen". "If you're a fan of the current crop of hardcore and metal bands sweeping the nation, you'll probably be really into this compilation." i guess im not a music fan then. It would have been awesome to see GNR in their heyday but I was like 4? when Appetite came out. My favorite part about the Sweet Child O' Mine video is that Duff McDouchebag is wearing a TSOL shirt with his black spandex pants and huge blond hair. Izzy was the only good thing about that band, and that was just because he was on too many drugs to care, so he just put on sunglasses and stood there. That was his job. To wear sunglasses on drugs. On an utterly random note, I looked but found no review for The Exploding Hearts' album on here. No one bothered to submit one? BSD, get on this. Yea, I apparently must hate music. Axl is the biggest douche in the universe and he won't be pistol whipping anyone. I must admit, however, that i do like november rain and paradise city a lot. i really dont like the zombie apocalypse cover I must also not be a music fan. Especially when they play that shit before the Vikings kickoff. I don't know guys, I thought this CD was pretty fucking amazing. Zombie Apocalypse, Haste, Eighteen Visions, God Forbid, Time In Malta, and Death By Stereo make this CD unstoppable. the zombie apocolypse song kills it, awesome My favorite was 18 Visions' song, I thought they did that pretty well. i too am not a music fan, apparently. i love g'n'r this and that jawbreaker "tribute" are testimonials as to why labels shouldn't encourage bands to do these kinds of records. "If you don't get goosebumps when hearing the opening guitar part to "Welcome To The Jungle," you're not a music fan" this was one of the worst tributes ever. they totally tore abart everything good about gnr. very dissapointing. granted, i didnt have high expectations anyways. I hate GNR, always have. So because I do not get chills from the into to whatever song, I am not a music fan. Zombie Apocalypse kills? Don't say I didn't say so. Oops, that should have been 2 stars, not 10. I bought this over the weekend. Big letdown. AFI's "My Michelle" was a lot better than Dillinger's. Zombie Apocalypse does a great job. Go listen to Shai Hulud while you're at it. Matt Fox rules. Man, Axl's the one that ruined GNR. I'll pistol whip his fat ass. Bastard. Yay Guns and Roses! What's Axl doing now? Axl will find these dudes and pistol-whip each of them. He will then do more coke than Tony Montana could ever imagine. the only song i wanted to hear was the ETID song |
