EvanG Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 It doesn't really matter over how many albums you spread it out. It should have been one album, they should have left the filler out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Axl has joked about this, they're double albums.

SoundOfAGun Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) Why does it have 4 of the tracks from TSI on it? Surely it should be "make one killer album out of two bloated ones"? Not spread the mediocrity out with some covers that no one holds in particularly high regard. (I do like TSI BTW, but more than one cover per album is bad form) Edited June 22, 2017 by SoundOfAGun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunset Gardner Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) I thought "the white album" analogy slash gave was spot on. I don't mind it's a double record, I like there's experimentation and a slight lack of continuity with the songs. three would've been too much imo. My issue was it was never followed up with another proper album, if the illusion records were part of a bigger body of work they wouldn't stand out as such a monster. nobody in the Springsteen universe cares or comments on "the river" being a double record because it's surrounded by brilliant records that came before and after. I love hypotheticals but leaving "you could be mine" "don't cry" and "November rain" out is like... what?

RONIN Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 You left out the two biggest hits: Don't Cry and November Rain. They need those ballads to sell albums. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right. Throw these two into UYI 4 for money grabbing purposes, along with Live And Let Die and some fillers. Music-wise NR, while good, is out of place on a Gn'R album. Momentum-killer. Die-hards are supposed to worship the deep-cuts, primarily. Coma over NR, a no-brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 UYI's are perfect the way they are. That may just be nostalgia on my part with the midnight release etc....but I stand by my statement. That is was a great time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) They possibly could have staggered the releases and that would have kept Slash or whoever happy. 91, 94, 97 releases. But that's not GNR style, it had to be the double cd event release. They probably should have put out CD as a triple cd boxset. But that industry just wasn't up for it or it wasn't what Axl wanted. UYI 1 couldve had YCBM, Don't Cry and NR UYI2 would have Live n let die and Heaven's Door as singles UYI3 would have and Yesterdays and Estranged.

Tadsy Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) i like it the way it is. what should have happened is this. Both the lead guitarist and front man getting together in january 1994 to sort their shit out properly... umm like.. MEN. and why does everything have to be different in terms of what they released and when? what difference would it make?

If they had UYI 3 recorded then they could have toured until 2000. But still there were other problems, But I mean it was still weird to quit GNR.
