But they can be cool. In your example of Ozzy you have Prince of Darkness Box with covers, demos, live versions, some re-recorded songs like Iron Man with Theraphy. I think it would be very cool if GNR would do sth like that. Edited December 3, 2018 by sl4yer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its Tino Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 A live album without a DVD/Blu-Ray would be incredibally disappointing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom-Ass Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I would love a Blu Ray with the performances of each song played from throughout the tour. Any studio tracks would be cool too. I would even like studio covers of The Seeker and Wichita Lineman. I bet they would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the leaks from last June and Evaders "The General" helped get the wheels turning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron MikeyJ Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I gotta disagree with most of you in regards to the potential live album. While I DO agree it would be cool of they started releasing every show (so we could get the shows we actually went to), it is Guns after all, lol. So I personally would RATHER have a quality product with minimal (or no) overdubs. Which I think that's more than possible if they take the BEST performances from each song, from the whole tour. Let's be real here, the Apollo show has some amazing moments and some less than stellar. The Forum show is better overall imo, but it also has some weak moments. I dont think (we) the fans, benefit from weak songs/moments on a live album. The last two live albums I purchased (because I didn't buyAppetite for Democracy, no thanks) was Zeppelins O2 performance and Van Halen Tokyo Dome. Let's be honest here, both of those are pretty weak imo, and I NEVER listen to them. I DO listen to a couple of tracks off of Tokyo Dome, but most of it is just painful. The Zepplein concert is ok, I suppose. But IMO it's the WORST Zeppelin "offcial" release you can buy, worse than Coda even. I dont like the tuned down versions of the songs, plus it lacks the magic of real Zeppelin. I would rather listen to How the West Was Won or my boots, than O2. So when it comes to Guns, I dont want a crap live album like those. I dont think anyone really wins with those. I'm POSITIVE that if they listen to multiple concerts they "felt good" about, they can pick the best versions from those, and they will be pretty good. I would actually listen to that, and enjoy it. Half of the Appetite songs from the Apollo show are not that great, but Better and some others were GREAT. The Appetite songs are pretty good on the Forum show, but some of the CD songs (Prostitute especially) are weak. Quality over quantity imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live Like a Suicide Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 23 hours ago, RussTCB said: There seem to be more than the usual amount of rumors being shared here and elsewhere lately. I've personally heard everything from "New studio album coming with an announcement in January!" to "there's a live album coming with some bonus studio tracks" to "the only thing coming is a live album and a studio cover or Witchitaw Lineman" to everything in between.The sources on these things range from the semi-reliable; "this guy was right about (insert rumor here) in the past" to the ridiculous; "a guy from another board knows a guy who told him". Hey Russ, can you discern which rumours seem more genuine. e.g. Was the studio album/announcement in January from a semi-reliable source or a rando?

Iron MikeyJ Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 The Forum shows Rocket Queen, YCBM and PC were pretty good from what I remember. SCOM is the song I use to "test," even back in the 90s. The SCOM from the Tokyo 92 shows isnt good imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what's confusing. Both the rumor about a January announcement of a studio album AND the one about a live album and a studio cover came from different but equally reliable sources. At this point, I think it's a large game of "telephone" where a lot of people are repeating what they heard and adding their own spin. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiff Competition Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I'd be up for a Lies-type EP release. Find 4 live tracks that Axl actually sounds decent on and pair it with 4 new studio tracks, maybe 1 or 2 are covers. It'd give them a reason to keep the touring machine rolling, since that's all albums are these days anyway. They could also release a a live show from the vault the same day to hype both albums up, offer bundles and shit, etc.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fartus+Frank+Melli - I pass, but I am fine with anyon spending their money. Hey, ppl buy 10 copies of same album just cause it comes in 10 different colours. Well that's who's in Guns N' Roses currently, so I'm sure that's who will be on any forthcoming releases. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a Live album would please hardcore fans (been there, done that), what about a new fan base? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
