0Tim McIlrath Covers Guns N’ Roses For “This Concerns Everyone” Compilation
Tim McIlrath of Rise Against went old school and recorded a rendition of Civil War, originally performed by Guns N’ Roses. You can check it out on SoundCloud or use the player below.
The track was recorded for a new compilation record called This Concerns Everyone. The album is being release by A-F Records and is duel out November 18th. It features live and studio recordings of both originals and covers. Besides Tim, other artists like Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine), Chris Wollard (Hot Water Music) are also featured on the record.
The label has also released the acoustic version of Tom Morello’s House Gone Up in Flames. You can check out out on their website. Tom commented:
“I decided to rock “House Gone Up In Flames” because it’s one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written. Conjured in the midst of a 104 degree fever in an Italian hotel room I wasn’t sure if I was going to live or die but i knew if i survived I was gonna have a helluva surrealistic political Molotov of a song on my hands. When A-F Records asked for a track I descended back into the Shaman’s Trance and here it is, for all to enjoy.”
