  1. Holy moly those things look fake. Why women do that to their chest unless they had some type of health issue is beyond me. She looks ridiculous topless in that jacket due to the obviously fake boobs.
  2. You're asking if the 2018 Appetite re-issue version is the same one from the "Live and Let Die" single? It's not even close. First off, the 2018 single goes over three minutes while the 1991 release is quite a bit shorter. Not to mention, the "Wake up! It's time to play!" vocal from Axl on the 1991 release. And regardless of anything else, they just really don't sound remotely similar.
  3. Just to be clear, the version of "Shadow of Your Love" released as a single from the Appetite is not just a different mix from the previous versions. This is entirely new, later, different recording. The three versions were as follows: "Live" version: This version was actually recorded at Pasha Studios and had audience noise overdubbed. It appeared as a b-side to the "It's So Easy" / "Mr. Brownstone" single and also on the 1988 EP. Sound City version: This was recorded as part of the Sound City sessions, which means it was actually recorded before the the above version. It was issued on the "Live and Let Die" single, and on some versions was tagged with a "live" signification which was odd as there is nothing identifiable about the recording being live, but maybe it was all recorded at once with no overdubs making it technically true, I don't know. 2018 single / Appetite re-issue version: This was recorded with Mike Clink as apparently a kind of test to see if a collaboration between the band and him would work. This version is my favorite of the versions and honestly sounds like it could have been recorded yesterday. And maybe it was extensively tinkered with shortly before its release? If it was, I suspect we'll never know. I personally don't think anything was added instrumentally or vocally but that the remix was pretty extensive and brought out and/or pushed back things in the mix that might not have had the same choices in '86 or '87. But who knows?
  4. First of all I don't buy for a second that Steven is over being in GNR. And secondly how were they disrespectful to him? Obviously I'm open to changing my mind, but I will point out that I don't think that the red carpet should've been rolled out for him. He's been a junkie for over 30 years (around 25 when the reunion first happened) and sad to say, I'm not sure you could find many junkies you'd be able to trust to play a prominent role in a huge rock n' roll tour with millions on the line. It just isn't feasible. If for instance Steven were THE drummer (instead of Frank) I have to wonder if the tour would even be able to be insured.
