Wish we could relive it! I would go the ticket. I see the boxset coming down to 199.00 in less than 6 months and probably in time for xmas.

This AFD box set sales process has been a trainwreck of epic proportions. I highly doubt they are going to do a UYI boxset 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiff Competition Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 a UYI set needs to just be the two albums remastered (if the masters aren't destroyed) with another 2LP set of demos, live tracks etc and thats it. 6LPs and they can sell it for 99-150 bucks in a nice slip box like zeppelin, metallica etc. Hopefully they learned that tattoos, rings and metal guitar picks are fucking stupid by now.

WAR41 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 $40 for the SDE is great. Congrats to those who held out and grabbed it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourettes2400 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) Yes $40 for the Super Deluxe is a good deal and if you use the code GNR10 on their official store it makes it a little bit cheaper.

I would like to see the two albums remastered, two/three demos of each song (preferably a few years apart wherever possible), a summer 1991 Blu-ray, a 1992 (not Tokyo) Blu-ray, a Skin N' Bones Blu-ray, and a compilation of various strong performances of individual songs. Various photographs and perhaps a book would be nice to go with it. I think we can just forgot about the Perfect Crime documentary sadly.

I got one on Day One last year for about $100, and that's because I had a merchandise credit for about $60 for the store I picked it up at. Bought two yesterday at the $40 price. Christmas gifts for my two oldest sons. Might buy another for my youngest son. For once, Guns N' Roses are offering up something from their store at an unbeatable price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This AFD box set sales process has been a trainwreck of epic proportions. Yeah ... I'm salty I copped the Super Deluxe at the original price, whatever it was (can't recall) for it to fall to $40 now. Reason being, as much as I loved it all, it basically got packed in the closet never to be seen again. Same would happen with Locked N' Loaded if I bought it. It's why I couldn't justify a grand. I know it'd end up tucked away somewhere taking up space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im surprised they didnt remaster lies and put it out on vinyl for the lies anniversary. I wouldnt have thought they would do the L and l boxset, so anything with them recognising their past is possible. The illusions era was massive put the band through the stratosphre, so something has to merched for the anniversary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys I really am thinking about buying one I have spent more than $40 on alcohol in the last few days. I really just want the L&L box, but not until it is cheaper than it is now. Both of these are now at the prices they should have been when they originally came out. Edited July 6, 2019 by Tourettes2400 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why they should ‘do it right’ this time. Not overpriced or laden with stuff most folk wouldn’t look at more than once. As I said, I have the four MetallicA boxes and they are absolutely spot-on. The only thing that they miss is the 5.1 disc that Appetite had. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know what their fans like and they try to give it to them, and most of the time it is at a reasonable price. I wish this band would try that business model, but I have been a fan for too long to reasonably expect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lars ain’t daft - he knows what the fan wants and is still in tune with the fan base at a grass roots level. Plus, having Q-Prime as your management company helps...as opposed to TB. Not saying TB are bad but no-one is better than Q-Prime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
