Euchre Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 How about instead of going bigger and for more, go the other way and release something smaller....like make 1 really good CD out of UYI ? I’m sure no one has thought of that before. Seriously though, I’m not really a UYI fan, in fact there are aspects I really dislike, so mine will come from left field. To me it was a bad time for the band, most of the material was written with Adler, pre Dizzy/Matt and then when it was recorded it seemed quite dysfunctional with obviously Adler missing aside from Civil War, Izzy missing at times and as a result Slash’s influence growing on the guitar side and Axl’s influence over shadowing overall, so the balance the original band had was completely fucked. Then there are songs that come across more as solo tunes than band efforts. So coming from a point of loving Appetite and Lies and seeing the potential for UYI to really be part of that era before things got fucked up, well with a box set I’d try and make things right....hence 1) You can’t deny the era happened so some sort of remaster of the original 2 albums 2) Have the 4 “musicians” pick their top 12 rockers (ie Slash, Duff, Izzy, Steve), no covers, have Steve re do the drums, Izzy record where he is missing, strip them back to raw, cut the piano to only the tunes where it really adds something, perhaps rename this album, definitely new cover art. 3) Axl takes his 4 ballads and Does whatever he wants to do to modernise and the becomes the ballad EP 4) Do whatever they want to do with the rest of the tracks on another CD 5) Given 2 still won’t be real in that part of what made Appetite feel so right was the tempo shifts, put together whatever demos or rehearsals of the original band doing theses songs 6) Beyond that do whatever, it’s already long enough and I’m bored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristianGNR Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 It would be great if they release unreleased songs after UYI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeyserSoze Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 what if they took that time to start a "vault" series like Pearl Jam does? Release ONE ahow from that era, then release a new show every year as a "Vault" or "Select" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamsapple Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 4-CD box set incl. remastered UYI 1+2 plus 2 more discs with the best of the outtakes, demos, b-sides, alternate takes/mixes, rarities (CD 3) and the best live tracks (CD 4). + 4-DVD Box Set incl. - Making fucking videos parts I-IV plus all other videos from the albums (DVD 1) - Tokyo DVD 1 + 2 with new audio commentary from Axl, Slash and Duff talking about the songs, the tour and stuff (DVD 2+3) - Perfect Crime Tour Documentary plus an hour or more of selected live highlights from other shows (DVD 4) Each box set sold seperately for less than 30 bucks each with a golden ticket in 10 copies worldwide granting entrance and backstage access to a show of your choice and also meeting the band in person incl. Axl, Slash and Duff. Arnold Schwarzenegger and musicians who toured with GNR back then to narrate/appear in a nice little 2 minute promo video for YouTube and have Slash and Axl do at least some press work then it should hit #1 within 24 hrs and provide for 2-3 more years of touring the old songs without releasing new stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locke Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I'll keep it simple. I'd love a CD version of the live performance of Coma from Chicago in 1992 that I've watched way too many times on YouTube over the years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) @troccoli I recently took another look at my post from the last page. Allow me to revise: STANDARD EDITION Disc 1: UYI 1 Remixed (not just remastered) Disc 2: UYI 2 Remixed (not just remastered) DELUXE EDITION Disc 3: Ain’t Goin’ Down w/ vocals, The “Rumbo Tapes” bootleg, the two leftover TSI tracks, and any other demo and/or unreleased song from the late 80s or early 90s that we haven’t heard yet Disc 4: Live rarities (Dust in the Wind, Godfather, Train Kept A-Rollin’, Always on the Run, etc.) SUPER DELUXE EDITION Blu-Ray 1: Three full-length never-before-seen concerts (one from early 1991, one from 1992, and one from the Skin N Bones tour in 1993). Having these concerts all restored in 4K would also be nice, but if that’s too much work then just the original footage itself should be fine. Blu-Ray 2: The three Making Fuckin Videos mini-docs, as well as all of the music videos from the UYI era (including SIDHY) restored in 4K and re-synced to the remixes. The music videos for YCBM and WttJ Live Era would also be nice, but it’s understandable if these can’t be on here (since there’s a known rights issue for both of these). Stretch Goal for Blu-Ray 2: It would also be nice to have rare shit like the MFV music videos for Don’t Cry Alternate Lyrics, Locomotive and Double Talkin Jive, the alternate Garden of Eden, the YouTube-exclusive music video for Bad Apples, and the unreleased music videos for I Don’t Care About You and Mr. Brownstone and My Michelle (featuring the UYI lineup). None of this is necessary, tho! Just would be nice to also have, if possible. LOCKED N’ LOADED EDITION Discs 1-4 on vinyl and as many never-before-seen photos as possible. FOR NETFLIX Separate release in 2023: The Perfect Crime doc (with as many deleted scenes as possible), spliced with NEW interviews of the band and everyone else involved at the time, so that they can reflect on all that footage with hindsight.

MrSpaghetti Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I want all the stuff suggested + the supposedly existing This I Love demo from the early 90s. Oh, and a disc with remastered scenes of Axl getting pissed off/freaking out + bonus Pro Shot scene of Izzy kicking the Mic right at Axl.

The only known copy of the early 90s demo tape of This I Love was destroyed under Axl’s request, according the one of the engineers who worked with GnR back in the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSpaghetti Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 And we need that Low Quality Pinball versions of WTTJ and Ain't Goin' Down to be played right from a toy, like those Bootleg toys of Lightning Mcqueen with all the multicolored lights coming out from all the sides, while playing a high pitched version of Barbie's theme.

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I would love a blue ray or dvd or the live at the ritz concert. I have the cd but not the video. Wish I could see that live from back in the day. Anything GNR releases I will probably buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jw224 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) Alternate mixes of album tracks, any demos of the album tracks and unreleased songs is what I'd be interested in. Also, don't rip the ass out of it, it needs to be decently priced. No tacky stuff just inserted so that you can fit it in a box and charge sky high prices.

Mendez Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 If soundboards would be included, ask the guy who does Metallica or Red Hot Chili Peppers mixes for the official soundboards to mix them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Even though I think any concert footage they include should be stuff we’ve never seen before, if they did have to go with shows we’ve already seen in some form (leaked proshots, tv broadcasts, audience recordings, etc), which shows should they go with, assuming you had to pick just one shows from each of the three years (1991, 1992, and 1993)?

UsedYourIllusion Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 For the love of God, Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and all their little carpenter friends; remix the albums and release Live material. One good show from each year, just anything. It's my favorite GN'R era, and it has, I think, the best live showing of the band (at it's heights). If you really wanna get people drawn back to this band, give em more of the best. A couple of soundboards/proshots would really make up for 2020 nearly being the end of the World Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuff we have seen: Philadelphia '91, one of the Stockholm or Inglewood shows Probably Chicago or Paris '92, For my money, either the July 16th Argentina show, or the Hartford '93 shows. Shows we have NOT seen: I think there's a North Carolina show in 92 that's about 2 1/2 long, or the Omaha show where Coma on Live Era comes from 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually there were two shows in North Carolina that not much is known about except that there were very long - the first one, in Charlotte, lasted about 3 hours and the second one in Greensboro, described as "epic" in the reviews of the time, lasted 3 h 35 min. https://www.a-4-d.com/t1831-1991-06-25-greensboro-coliseum-greensboro-usa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the second of those shows is slightly better than the first. So it looks like the ideal shows would be: Greensboro 1991 Anything from 1992 we haven’t seen yet Omaha 1993 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNRmello77 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I would actually be interested in demo's from The Garden, some Alice Cooper takes would be cool, or 2 version, One with only Axl vocals and one with only Alice Cooper vocals.

Well there is the “Rumbo Tapes” bootleg version that has only Axl vocals (Shrugs). I don’t think they ever did a version where Cooper sang the entire song.
