Apollo Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 If GnR was to release a box set in time for Christmas this year, what six items would you want in it? For your $100 bill: 1. New album, written by current band (and Izzy) 2. Album featuring best remaining CD songs 3. The Illusions behind the scenes footage DVD 4. Regrouping DVD. A four-hour documentary featuring the best live performances as well as behind the scene footage. Rehearsals. Interviews with Axl, slash and duff. History on how the boys got back together. 5. Axl's uncensored autobiography. 6. An Outakes CD. Just a weird eclectic group of songs. Includes the updated versions of OMG, Silkworms, crash diet, and studio versions of seeker, back n black, the This I Love remake, and then acoustic versions of a couple songs, and maybe their version of Slither and Fall to Pieces. ***** And throw in a link or pass word that gave you access to every pro shot concert in the GnR catalog. GnR would set up a website that hosted all those shows back to the early days. The box set would give you access to those shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modano09 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 A vile of Axl's semen and 2% ownership of the band name. And a t-shirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 That list would be worth far more than $100. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janrichmond Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I'd choose 3 and 4, option 3 because that's when i saw them option 4 because I'm a nosey cow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Everything. These past years left me hungry of all the things related to GNR I've been deprived of. Fuck them for that and fuck NuGnr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 First thing I want is a blue ray of the current GNR tour. Would also love a blue ray of AC/DC with Axl singing. New music would be cool, but since this tour is going to last awhile that'll probably be the last thing I would think about right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Might as well dream big 1. New hybrid album of all new originals (with Adler and Izzy on a track or two)and reworked chinese leftover songs all from the current lineup 2. Bluray/CD of the Trobadour and a stadium show (with Adler appearance as a bonus feature) 3. Documentary of NITL and album 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with all of the pricing estimates, though if it allowed access to pre-shot versions of every show, that's something I wouldn't even know how to value, but I know it wouldn't be free. Obviously I'd love all of the stuff you listed; I'd pay a couple hundred for a box set like that. But, I'd be happy with just one of those things, even. That said, I am very happy with the status of things currently. But am anticipating the next step, whenever that may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Axl really does have a vault full of music - which he and The Beta have both said is true - then it really is shame he doesn't want to share it with his diehard fanbase.

I don't know how the technology works. In that scenario. GnR starts a website that has say 400 pro shot concerts, ranging from 1988 through last month. Is there a way that you can make it so people can't record or copy those videos and post them online for free? If the band charged $1 per show. Or a fee of $50 for unlimited access to all the shows. Whats your guess? Maybe 50,000 people do it, spending an average of $20 apiece. That's a million dollars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimisbatman Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 A definitive Chinese Democracy boxset of unreleased material so the era is complete. Then add one new song with the current band that is created in 'this period', so the tour is not just nostalgic but promoting something 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanf23 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Okay, for $100.00... (this is me thinking realistically, not crazy stuff like "release brand new album and a DVD from every era") BluRay of 4/1/16 show, includes interviews, anything related to this show Not In This Lifetime tour book (autographed by the band) Audio CD of one of the 2016 shows (whichever the band felt was the best show) Miscellaneous items like a tour pass, stickers, etc (throw in stuff to make you feel you are getting extra value) Make it a limited edition of 15,000 with each box set numbered. Now...this is what I think would be realistic. I prefer what you guys are saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaj38 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 How about something like AFD box set, like Metallica did with Kill Em All and it should contain: Original AFD cd and vinyl (with rape cover) Lihograph of original artwork Live DVD with footage of early years (@recklessroad?), Donnington 88', Giants stadium and other AFD tour footage, as there is not a lot of footage from these years (maybe one song from one show) Maybe some vinyl or CD from early rehearsals Some promo stuff, like maybe fake concert passes, patches,... Price: somewhere around $200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
action Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) option Number five. chinese democracy...naked: featuring backing track mixes of all of pitman's contributions and fresh guitar work from DJ Ashba, with Axl adding crazy mickey sounds. I'd buy that for a dollar. Edited September 5, 2016 by action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
