The cross is good, quality metal. It is pretty heavy. 1 minute ago, troccoli said: Behind one of the drawers evidently. I still don't have mine!

lpgnr Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 The blu ray is fuckin’ awesome! I’m loving the surround sound mixes. They did a great job with them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 The music is great. Could have really used Bring it Back Home, Aint Going Down, Crash Diet, etc. I would have bought a 4 disc set for 50 or a full vinyl set for 150-200. The asking prices are wayyyyy too high for four CDs worth of music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the vocals are not isolated completely to the center speaker. They are on the front 3 speakers, with some backups (at times) in the back. Guitars are isolated, except for the solos. Sounds killer! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree with you! And no Don't Cry? The Mystic Studio and Pasha demos should have been partly included. And no complete soundboard show like Marquee 87... too sad... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Matinator Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Was live like a suicide even remastered? It seems sonically similar to the normal EP besides the fade-ins/just being blended. Also I asked this earlier but does anyone notice an actual edit on Mama kin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the Live From The Jungle versions sound more raw and it benefits the songs, whereas with SOYL the remaster sounds better, the remastered live songs sound clearer but 'flatter'. The original ones sound more 'live'. I'm not sure how else to describe it. But I'm just going off the torrents, CD quality probably benefits the remaster. The Plague is pretty cool, would've been interesting to hear it expanded to a full song. New Work Tune isn't something I'll listen to again any time soon. It's great to hear Heartbreak Hotel and Jumpin Jack Flash in better quality. November Rain piano version is really nice too, the version I'd heard before was nowhere near this quality and it kinda reminds me of the Skin N Bones version at times. I haven't listened to the old bootleg versions for quite a while and it's refreshing to hear these again in this quality. Still not something I'd pay $100+ for, but it's cool to hear.

They could have done a 4 cd set of just the music for around $40 (less on Amazon etc) and sold a bunch to old people like me who just want the music. As it is I'm not paying $150 for the 4 cds and a whole bunch of things I'll never use. I guess Axl told us this ain't Burger King so it is what it is.

nycgunner Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Just downloaded from Amazon and on my iPhone for $29 or so. We all have an issue with the $1000 monstrosity but I think the digital download is a fantastic deal! i never found an old school bootleg of these demos and have had poor quality downloads of only a handful of songs from the Napster and Limewire days of the early and mid 2000s. I am excited! Not quite like the tease of hearing The General, but this certainly better than nothing Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonKinight Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 The plague sounds somewhat like Sentimental Movie and Shadow Of Your Love. It'd be a great song if they had finished it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uruguns Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Available in Spotify. Listening to original SCOM and remastered SCOM in the same source (Spotify) you can tell the difference in terms of quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
