I find it odd that Live Nation is behind the site unless it is somehow related to a solo tour, be that music performances or a book tour. Even though Live Nation has a artist management arm, it does only seem to be in relations to tour management etc… Yes, I am aware exactly how this sounds, and how EXTREMELY unlikely it is that Axl would do a solo tour of any capacity. It is still strange though

That's a later tour start than I would've anticipated. Why wait until fall?

That was Coma he sang at the RIR soundcheck, there is no video or audio of Axl singing Crash Diet (outside of the demo recording of course) to my knowledge.

This is really interesting news! Hopes it sees the light of day sooner rather than later! I'm a bit confused about the whole "auction off" part though, will it be a Wu-Tang situation where one person will own the record or how would that work? Does anyone know how stuff like this is usually done, in regards to auctioning of a record for charity?

A little tip if you're looking for a OG cover AFD, assuming you're after the cover art and not the first US press, is to look for a European pressing. I have a 1987 German pressing that I picked up a few years ago for $15 here in Sweden. It's currently on Discogs in -NM condition for around $50. Funnily enough the censored cross cover is very rare over here, been looking for it for a while but prices are always way to high. I also have to "censored" South Korean version where they've simply put the GNR logo over the woman on the cover, it's missing Brownstone, Michelle and Nightrain since they where deemed by the Korean government to be to explicit.

I've said it a million times on here before but Wembley '91 is definitely my favorite UYI show. I haven't listened to all AFD bootlegs yet but out of all I've heard, nothing comes close to that one. That whole first leg of the UYI tour is a really fun listen. Most shows are phenomenal from those three and a half months. Well, apart from St Louis which is imo undoubtedly the worst show they ever did. It's almost a blessing that the band walked of stage and ended that train wreck

Just got my vinyl after weeks of waiting... Being the EU version it's pixelated (in a way that looks far worse in person that it does in pictures). My copy is also fairly scratched up from the get go which, combined with the mix of the General, makes for a delightful listening experience.

I love this! Great work!

It's not known, no available version of You're Crazy from the 2021 tour matches with the Hard Skool EP version. It's probably from one of the two Atlantic City shows though since that's where Don't Cry is from. That would make it 2021-09-11 or 2021-09-12. I did a deep dive on all Hard Skool EP live tracks in this thread last year if you're interested.

Right, of course! That makes sense! Thank you!

I have not kept up with videos of the shows recently, but what song does Slash use the Firebird during? I thought that guitar was only used for The Seeker, and that has been dropped since last year.

I had the exact same thought! If anyone has time to do a comparison they definitely should

This is the exact quote: ”If your order is or contains a pre-order product, your item(s) will be picked, packed and shipped within 24 hours of the stated release date.“ What I’m trying to say is that if none of us are able to hear The General next Friday, we should not be to surprised!

I read in my confirmation email that the vinyl won’t be shipped until the release date, so there’s a good chance none of us will get it until a couple of days after the 27th I would assume?

Bad ass picture, right here!

Wouldn't it make sense for a Atlas Shrugged cover to have a illustration of Atlas carrying the world on it? That's one of the main reasons as to why I believe this cover art is faked, along with it's AI feel.

It was mentioned earlier but his solo on Michael Jackson's Give In To Me is in my opinion the greatest solo he ever did.

I honestly don't believe horders are actually sitting on The General, there has been to much smoke about a official release these last few months that something would have either leaked or been hinted at before now if that was the case.

Holy mother of god! I just woke up, watched a new GN'R video, listened to the new single while brushing my teeth and then ordered The General on vinyl... What a morning!

I've listened to the leak two times now and really like it a lot, patiently waiting to properly dissect the new vocals. But this video clearly shows the one thing that I find very odd about this version, that Robins first two notes are kept from the old solo being combined with Slash's new one via a very strange cut and paste job. Surely the had to have been a more coherent way of putting that solo together if those first two notes where so important? It might just be because I'm so familiar with the old solo and that's why it sounds so odd, but it almost sounds like it was live mixed and the engineer left the wrong track playing and changed it a second to late (which obviously didn't happen but illustrates how it sounds).

Because it’s not a streaming platform like say, Spotify or Apple Music. It’s a jukebox player. It does not play on your phone, it plays on the jukebox in the bar.

I find it very amusing to hear Axl sing "baby's going of the track" off beat

Locomotive now!

They are playing Reckless Life currently, Slash solo, SCOM and NR was before that!

I was thinking abut flying in for this show but traveling, accommodation plus show tickets got a bit to expensive for me as a student. Hoping that everyone that goes has a great time! @Amir I hope you'll enjoy the show despite the seating issue!
