Bring You To Your Knees
A Tribute To Guns N Roses
Law Of Inertia Records
2004
IF I ASK ANYTHING OF YOU IN MY ENTIRE LIFE... AS A GUNS N' ROSES FAN PLEASE DO NOT SUBJECT YOURSELF TO THIS ALBUM!!!!!I know all of the words to these songs and I couldn't tell what ninety five percent of the bands on this album were saying. I knew what they were supposed to be saying but ..it just wasn't right. If this is a tribute album ....I'd hate to see what a record would sound like if these bands didn't like the band they were covering. The concept ...a bunch of metal/punk/screamo/hardcore bands covering GNR might look half decent on paper ....if some of the bands were half f**kin decent. But noooooo... doing GNR some f**kin justice ...that would be asking too much.... and it's not like this is the first ....remember Appetite For Reconstruction anyone? A techno metal tribute to GNR by a bunch of b-list rockers.Yeah good job you f**kin dirty twits.

But like I said very few lyrics can actually be deciphered on this album ...whether you know them or not. The only band that even comes close to capturing the feeling of the original GNR is Eighteen Visions with their heavied up "Paradise City" and even then ....when it comes time to rip up Slash's classic guitar solos ....they fail miserably.Most of these songs don't even sound anything like the originals that they are apparently trying to emulate. For instance ...if you ever have the misfortune of hearing Time In The Malta's version of "November Rain" you'll know what I'm talking about. Not the same chords ...not even the same key. WTF. Do you really have to go that far to butcher of a classic.

Honestly I should hunt down pretty much every one of these bands and kick their f**kin asses. Or atleast get a chainsaw out and go leatherface style on their asses. Everyone of these guys deserves a f**kin DDT. Even if the lads from GNR reunite to kick these bands asses ...I'd be happy. Just please reunite for something. If they got together to fart on a record I'd probably buy it.

So Axl... I beg you... for myself... and the millions and millions waiting at home... please ...PLEASE release something soon ...or beat the hell out of these f**kin assholes ....at very least.

rock n roll
