I think that assumption is based on the similar vocals of Axl Rose and Dan McCafferty Edit: More to it than I thought, Axl was a bit of a fan "A tribute came in 1993 when Guns N' Roses covered Nazareth's "Hair of the Dog" on "The Spaghetti Incident?", consolation after they turned down Axl Rose's request for the group to play at his wedding."

Cheers for that info. I think GNR was always a collection of members with different influences. Duff was always into punk and the New York Dolls. Not sure about Slash and Izzy.

Watch the sunrise is utter class. They are definitely their biggest influence. Forgot about them when posting about the birds. I need to go and listen to them now. Thanks. Thinking about it, the teenage fanclub song 'ain't that enough' is just their version of watch the sunrise. Both great songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Demo from their Sparkle In the Rain album. Brilliant band at mixing synth with guitars and drums. Producer Steve Lillywhite decided overhaul it to give them more of a soft rock sound (he produced U2). Staunch SM fans took the hump but I like both the synth sound and rockier tones.

the jambo poet Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 The stranglers were superb and for a bit of pop the bluebells were magnificent. We've had a big influence on almost every decade with Lulu in the 60's, bay city rollers in the 70's, the skids leading to big country in the 80's, onto the rave scene of the 90's with TTF et al, travis and finally Calvin Harris. Thats just of the top of my head. Im sure many other guys will have different preferences from each decade. But we have helped shape the soundtrack of my life.
