The book is gonna be cool, the quality sounds a lot better than before, that third disc sounds awesome. The blu ray sounds dope. It seems like a decent box for what i paid for it. I'm also excited to get a somewhat new release from gnr too Yeah $113 isn't bad. Where did you see that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockphantom Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I've cancelled my DeepDiscount.com order at $127 and ordered from ImportCD.com using the TAKE10 code to get 10% off which brings the price down to $117 shipped to Texas. DeepDiscount and ImportCDs are storefronts for the same distributor, so it made sense to save $10 since the product will come from the same warehouse. https://www.importcds.com/guns-n-roses-appetite-for-destruction/602567523758 The TAKE10 code expires at 4PM Eastern USA time on Thursday June 14th.

ludurigan Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 9 hours ago, action said: life is all about experiences. and as they say "once you got that money it cost more now" and ain't that the truth the super deluxe version will be a special experience alright. from the sight of new GNR product, the feel of the package, the smell of the paper, the goodies, the poster, the 4CD's with appetite stuff, the blu ray.... I believe I have asked for this very product not so long ago: appetite remaster and outtakes. and here is what I wished for. shut up and take my fucking money i have no idea what kind of experience you can have with a load of toys i much rather have a... how can i phrase it... huh... music/listening experience? now THAT is why i love GNR and THAT is worth my money!

I gotta say that version of Jungle just released didn't inspire me at all though. It was cool to hear once but it just sounded like an unfinished song and I have other versions very similar. AM hoping there are actually alternate versions that actually rival or are better than the studio tracks. Like a Zeppelin BBC sessions or something..

Dean Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Unsure if he was at the windup, but the singer for the G2R tribute band met Duff last night and must've got talking about the price of the boxset, which Duff apparently said was 'fucked.' Comments have since been deleted. I wonder if TB involved Slash and Duff in this whole process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post default_ Posted June 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2018 I believe the band has nothing to do with the pricing, of course theres a chance but it usually is something label related. Theres really no point blaming the band on this. Label owns the catalog, they can do whatever they want with it unfortunatelly. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovelessNL Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) Here in Holland there's a contest where you can win tickets to an apparent release party at 27/06 in Amsterdam. There arent really much details about the party. The band is playing in Bordeaux, so they arent there. Found some more details, there will be cover band performing AFD in its entirety.

hitmanhart408 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I think this is a new article. https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/8461630/guns-n-roses-appetite-destruction-locked-n-loaded-edition The band, which reunited in April 2016, expects most sales to come from abroad as it tours Europe this summer.

I'm guessing you meant to put this in the boxed set thread instead of HOB 2001, so I moved it. Having said that, I truly don't know how many of these the band could possibly be expecting to sell.

k12 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 have they lowered the price on that $1,000 thing to $300-$400 yet? that was my price point a few months ago when it was announced, but now with each passing day I am less interested in it and I am guessing my price point on it might be $150 in a couple of months 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm paying around $135 now. I just hope it's released on time and I get it on time. I also ordered some copies of the two cd set for my family. Never tire of listing to AFD.

HOWEVER, with there being over 10,000 of these things I'm certain you, me and everyone else will get one of for the $400-$500 price range.

Of course they didnt lower the price. And my guess with this honestly it will never drop below 750. I could see a 25% off sale around the holiday if it isn't selling well but 150 is just silly.

I agree, I am guessing by the Holidays it is going to be around $750, but even that is insanely over priced, but if there are really 10,000 of these things I am guessing no more than 1,000 of them are going to be sold at the $750-$1,000 price point so I am guessing eventually they are going to have to drastically reduce it, might take at least a year or 2 to swallow their pride and offer them at around $400-$500 price point which is what it should have been from the get go, but by the time that rolls around most people are going to forget they are even available and the $400-$500 price is going to seem insanely expensive. I would really love to know how many of these things are sold at the $1,000 price and in addition they are fucking themselves because those fans that would have bought it maybe at around $500 are going to buy the $150 box set and in no way going to want to cough up another $500 for essentially a few Vinyls and patches and stickers or whatever else they included in the $1,000 thing, if there are really 10,000 of these things going to be sitting in a warehouse starting next week I am guessing they are going to have to be selling them at around $300-$400 sometime in the next few years Edited June 20, 2018 by k12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juventino Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) The box I think works out to $1450 in Australia...I can - and did earlier this year - fly to Europe for bloody cheaper than that. Edited June 21, 2018 by Juventino 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
