I’m pretty sure all of you have too. „Unseen pictures“ ... WHAT? They’re all up and down the internet. Is this even legal to advertise something like that? It’s a blunt lie! True that. Did he say those pics are never seen before? LMAO! They are all around over the Internet. Don't know what's inside the book though.... Might be the only novelty of this box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Blackstar Posted June 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2018 Is there a precedent where a release was promoted like this (a video with a label exec presenting it) and not by the artists themselves? There is some interesting stuff between the lines of this recent interview with three Universal execs: https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/8461630/guns-n-roses-appetite-destruction-locked-n-loaded-edition - The whole thing was mainly put together by the label. The band consented and approved, but they weren't much involved. In the end, they express the wish/hope that the band will "take over" the project (including doing interviews to promote it). - The big expensive box wasn't in the initial plan, but then the label thought that there would be a market for it and their strategy focused on that (it seems that the pre-sales for the big box haven't gone as expected - what a surprise - and now they focus on the more approachable super-deluxe box and the cheaper editions). The band hasn't actually promoted it much. They shared it on their social media and that's it. They play SOYL at the shows, but Axl hasn't introduced it so far or said anything about the box. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 2-3 alternate mixes along with the packaging and some photos don't justify the price for me. And I don't want a classic album that sounds perfect in the first place sterilised and in 5.1 either...I think I'll pass and rather buy some pedals or a concert ticket for that money. Anyone else think that presentation video would have been 1000x cooler if the band members would have come together and present their historic album themselves? Agree about presentation video👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Propaganda Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 They should have included at least 1 Live show from that era in high quality sound, and a different show in video as well. They could have included The Roxy show as the video one and then The Ritz as the audio one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamsapple Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 If the half assed cash grab approach is representive of the label's support it doesn't surprise me the band isn't to excited about recording a new album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have recorded video and audio for the Troubadour show 2006, in my opinion, and include it. Not that I’m not gonna be satisfied. I will and I’ll buy it anyways, but it would be a better experience for the fans. The impression I get is that they should have made more research through youtube and other scources, to know what’s out there etc... it feels the project was a bit rushed.

Carburetta Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Guessing that’s the original flag as a backdrop, the one the collector (poster on here) supplied the label with to be reproduced. That item is extremely cool, the tiny version that comes in the box, quite less so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how much the band was involved on this but any concert from the 86 to 89 era would have been a perfect fit and maybe justified the price a little. Going to pass for the minute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the age of streaming, everything in this set will be available to listen to without spending $180. Agreed. I will wait for the price to come way down and then decide. In the meantime....

themadcaplaughs Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I couldn't be bothered to read whatever Fernando spewed on here last time. What exactly did he say about Marc? I know that when the band played The Troubador in 2016, Marc said something about now wanting to go where he is not wanted, so I assumed not everything had been smoothed over with Axl.

Blackstar Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) Apparently, as far as the musical content goes, they included only stuff that was on the label's vault (see interview link above). That would explain the absence of the Mystic Studio demos but not the Pasha ones. I wonder what is the situation with the live shows. Are they also on the label's vault or only the band/Axl has them? I think that at least The Ritz '87 was supposed to be an official release by Geffen, hence the split screen effects etc. With The Ritz 88 it's possible that there are rights issues, since it was shot for MTV.

Carburetta Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) Potentially a Luddite question here but how are you supposed to listen to a Blu-ray audio, via your tv?

I'd totally have bought this if those were records and not CDs. Refuse to pay a grand for that locked n loaded box just to get vinyls. Seems like a wasted opportunity to me. Does anybody even buy CDs any more? There is a standalone Vinyl option on Amazon for $30. I did this Super Deluxe and the Vinyl standalone to accomplish basically what you are looking for. Total price of $175 on Amazon for both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
