Yeah, I grabbed the Toyko set and it's great! I grabbed Chicago '92 because I was at that show, but it should've been made into a box set. I also wish they'd do more box sets. Casino makes great stuff, but most sets coming out are the same bands over and over like Kiss, Ghost, etc...but that stuff sells quickly. I'm just surprised that there hasn't been any reunion releases other than the partial Vegas show that was also only one record. There's a guy on Facebook that gets new tons of new boots in every week, but he said there's never any Gn'R other than the '92 Tokyo box.

Yeah, it might be my favorite one. There's a guy who does auctions on Whatnot that had quite a few vintage boots, and I grabbed a few that I didn't have. He still has some, but most are shows that I already have on different titles. As we all know, these are hit or miss. I grabbed 'Silver Bullet' last year that was an Italian boot from late '88 and was supposed to be an early '88 show from LA and it was just a remixed version of the Ritz show with some demos thrown in at the end. I should've looked closer at the setlist before I bought it.

Very true...just grabbed it. Thanks!

I saw that on Ebay. I almost pulled the trigger because I was at both shows, but haven't yet because I'm afraid of hearing Axl since he struggled pretty hard for a lot of the shows. I just might grab it since the quality is that good.

Even with his vocal issues, Axl smokes Vince Neil, and it's not even close.

You're right about Todd. He is one dimensional, but very good at what he has. He does shows in Vegas with Bruce Kulik, doing just 80s Kiss songs. I'm not a big fan of that era, but he sounds fantastic singing the Paul Stanley stuff in the videos I've seen. Either way, I do agree that Myles is a talented vocalist, but his style just gets tedious to me after a short while. I'd take a live show with Todd as a vocalist over Myles any day.

Dave A was a monster during PJ'S best era. No matter what beef is there, it's a joke that he wasn't inducted, and included in the HOF ceremony. Krusen played on Ten, dropped out pretty much quicky after, and got in. Dave should be in.

The frontman

Monsters would be #1 for me, but even with Axl's vocal struggles, I had a blast at the four shows I attended. The setlists were fantastic, and the change in Axl's demeaner on stage made me almost as happy as he seemed to be up there.

I'm always on the lookout for vintage boots if anyone has anything they want to unload.

That's a phenomenal deal!

Very jealous of the Axl/DC box! I've been looking for that for a while. I have part 1 and 3 of the Belgium show that were sold separately, but can't find part 2. Great job getting the box. I think they only made 180 of them.

Got mine on Friday as well. Artwork is good, and it sounds better than the streaming version for sure.

Early 88

No, it's just typical ineptitude from band management. 95% of merch on that site since '16 has been completely ridiculous.

I bought the vinyl, but I don't remember seeing it being sold as an exclusive.

Not getting an official release of Monsters would be a travesty. It's a fantastic tune.

It's very good coffee. Dark Matter is awesome!

I saw them for the first time on the Razors Edge tour, and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. I've seen them 10 times, and it's easily the best of the 10. The AXL/DC show would be the second beat.

I think that's very likely.

Something like this was bound to happen when they use a guy who doesn't have the credentials to manage a local bar band to manage their huge international rock band. This certainly puts Axl in a tough spot.

Since this originally was only supposed to be two shows, Slash would've been long gone of he was miserable. He left in the mid 90's, and he wouldn't have stuck around this time, either. He has it pretty good. He has free reign to do his solo stuff, movie company, etc all while performing on the biggest stages in the world. Even after the divorce, he'd have enough money to not live a miserable life doing something that he didn't want to do.

I'm guessing not. 9 1/2 minutes would fit, but wouldn't sound good on one side of a 7" record.

PM sent...got skunked on both, even though we were at the gates at 3:45 both days. I've never seen anything like it. Security guards and cops were walking around with them, and the main table was handing night 2 lithos to employees the night before. Evidently, they were letting VIPs buy 5 each and there were next to none left when the gates opened. Yep, I bought one in Cincinnati, and halfway through the show, our daughter had to go to the bathroom and the stand still had a stack of them.

Agreed, Kiss and Motley Crue had no choice because they couldn't get asses in the seats anymore on their own. Aerosmith is more than likely doing it because they're in their mid-70's and this was going to be it. Guns may not sell every seat in a stadium with high prices, but they can fill the majority of them with acceptable prices. They don't need to throw a farewell tour out there.
