VARIOUS ‘Tribute to Guns N' Roses - An Uncivil War’
Mausoleum 251053(2004)
This is an interesting collection, apart from showing exactly how good the
actual songs are that Gn’R wrote, it also leaves you with the thought that
if they had not split the original line up- how good they could still be.
Saying that, there are some great versions of old favourites here. All the
guitars are handled by ex Gn’R members Gilby Clarke and (original guitarist)
Tracii Guns.
The surprise vocal here is Cinderella drummer Fred Coury doing
a more than passable job on 'It’s so Easy', another great version is current
Adlers Appetite singer (and ex Love/Hate and Ratt)Jizzy Pearl ripping his
way through 'Sweet Child of Mine'. Christina Kartsonakis shows that a woman's
voice works very well on 'Civil War', but with most singers sounding like
their original bands covering a Gn’R song there is something here for most
people.
