  1. Taking your 11 year old to the GNR show is a very cool thing to do. I was 11 the first time I heard Appetite during the fall of 1989 (I was a little late to the party). Soon after hearing AFD for the first time, GNR became my favorite band. Have fun tomorrow night!
  2. That's great! Have a blast! I should clarify. My family is from SA. However, we don't live there anymore. I thought it would have been neat to see the remnants of GN'R, in the town where my parents met, and where my grandparents are buried. I have many good memories in San Antonio. When I lived in Austin, my friends and I went down to San Antonio to attend MANY rock shows. Iron Maiden, Van Halen, Heaven and Hell (Sabbath with Dio), The Stones, Judas Priest, KISS, Motley Crue, Whitesnake, Tesla, you name it, we saw them in San Antonio...
  3. Is anyone from the forum going to this show? My family is from San Antonio, but I won't be travelling from DFW to the Alamo city in the middle of the week, for the GNR gig...
  4. What are the odds that COVID has hit the GNR camp?
  5. Ideally, both Steven and Matt would have rejoined GNR in 2016, and shared drumming duties during shows. If this has happened, today we'd be saying, Frank WHO?!?! I choose Matt. After hearing Matt shake the Astrodome in Houston on the Metallica tour with the timpani intro to Mr. Brownstone, he cemented his position as THE drummer for GNR in my mind.
  6. I wanted to clarify that the MTV Live and Loud special was filmed in Houston 2 night later.
  7. GNR Inc could easily license the UYI pro-shot archive to one of the streaming services and make easy money. It doesn't seem like there is much market for official live DVDs/BDs anymore, with everything appearing on Youtube for free.
  8. Very cool footage. I caught GNR for the first time at the Houston show on September 4, 1992 which was 2 days after this gig. This 20 minute clips is a nice snapshot in time for me. This video solidifies my belief (along with the live stuff on the UYI box) that No Matt Sorum = NO GNR! A professional drummer like Matt makes a world of difference in a live setting, compared to the incompetent drone behind the GNR drum kit now!
  9. I'm currently watching the infamous Saskatoon '93 pro-shot and reminiscing about how unique/loose the Skin N' Bones tour was. With the 1991-1992 portion of the UYI tour covered by the recent UYI Super Deluxe Edition, I am hoping that 1993 will be recognized in someway via an official release. I don't believe a TSI Super Deluxe Edition would have much appeal, or enough material to justify such a release, so why not represent 1993 with 3 complete live recordings from the Skin N' Bones tour? Here is what I would I like to see in a 1993 Live GNR box set: Austin, Texas February 23, 1993 Pro-Shot + 2CD - A simply amazing show and the very first Skin N' Bones show. An Izzy show from May of 1993 Pro-shot + 2CD - Which one of these gigs were the best? Please enlighten me! The FINAL show of the "Golden Era" - Buenos Aires, Argentina July 17, 1993 uncut and in Pro-Shot HD + 2CD. Yes, we have all seen the final gig in Buenos Aires. However, it would definitely need to be included in a hypothetical 1993 live box set. Being that this show was filmed for broadcast on Argentinian TV it may be possible to produce a Blu-Ray from the archival footage of this gig. What would YOU like to see included in a Skin N' Bones box set?
  10. I'm really enjoying the sound quality/performance of the Vegas '92 show. It's a shame this stellar live recording was locked away for 30 years. It would have made perfect sense to release the Vegas '92 soundboard as an official 3CD + Sympathy For The Devil as a bonus track in December of 1994 as a stopgap between TSI and the "next album" that never came. Oh well. Better late than never!
