Btw. This will help them sell seats here in the States. Very nice RS article, I’m very happy Axl is doing well!

For me, the most exciting part is this:

Quote

For Slash, it all started with an inquiry into video footage of the band’s 2½–year, 194-show “Use Your Illusion” tour—a trove he once called “the holy grail of Guns N’ Roses.”

“I was talking to Guns N’ Roses management about making sure all that stuff was intact,” Slash says. “And then, I’d thrown out the idea, ‘It’d be great to find a producer to put this together’” as a film.

This suggests they are still discussing the possibility of putting out the UYI your film.  Maybe this will come with the UYI reissue.

The only thing stopping this song from being a classic is that it was made after their creative peak. It is certainly not filler or average. Much better than, say Shotgun Blues. That is filler.

What are you talking about?  Shotgun Blues is awesome.

yeah I called it and hit option #1 and then just hung up. It's free so you don't get billed but I didn't have the guts to move forward 

It tells you to phone 1-800-800-3000.  When you phone that number, it says the same thing.  So it goes nowhere.  It's not a real sex chat line.  It's a GNR thing...  Interesting.

What's the significance of the number 1-800-346-7447?  I phoned it and it appears to be a phone sex chat line, but googling it turns up absolutely no information.  Weird....

If you phone it, it asks for a member ship number.  If you don't have one, it tells you to phone 1-800-800-3000, which just says the same thing.  So, I don't think this is a real sex chat line, it's a GNR phone number... promotion starts now!

Oh no, stream just ended!  Does anyone have a good working stream?

Thanks guys!

Is there a stream y'all are watching?

Can this be found anywhere besides iTunes and Spotify?

Question for all those demanding new music. Can you name 1 band of GNR's stature that has released anything 30 years after their peak that was considered good by the majority of the audience. Not hardcore fans but the casuals who are the ones who make up the majority of the concert going and music buying audience?  I mean one band where they came out and played almost all new material 30 years later that the fans in audience were dying to hear or see.

 

 

 

 

Bob Dylan.

How are you all reading this book of it hasn't been released yet?  Am I missing something?

(Who would have imagined that there would come a day when the media would be more positive towards GnR than its own fans )

it's because the media is far more informed, intelligent, and socially aware than the average GNR fan - especially the ones that spend the entire day posting on internet forums rather than doing something productive.

Some of you guys make me laugh, as if anybody in this band ever gave a fuck about what anybody thought.  Maybe you guys haven't been paying attention the last 30 years 🤔 but this band has never shied away from expressing their opinions, and clearly everybody in the band is strongly against Trump.  

 

Also fuck Trump.

 

The people who also say leave the politics out of music also make me laugh, as if politics haven't been in music for well, forever.  I'm proud of the guys for standing up for what they believe in and not hiding away like some pansy ass pussies afraid to let their voice be heard.  

 

If shipping wasn't 10 bucks I would consider getting this shirt 

Well said mate.

You would think exploiting a health pandemic would be more concerning here. GNR has been “political” before this  

exactly, GNR has never shied away from politics.  I mean GNR has always been one of the most anti-establishment bands ever.  If that's not political, I don't know what is.  Funny to see people get their panties in a bunch about this.

Is he known widely as '45' in America? Why not just put 'Covid Trump?' if that's their intention. Even that sounds fairly dumb and nonsensical. 

Ah, wouldn't be great if just once they released something decent, that those of a rational mind might wish to own?! 

"Covid 45" is a play on "Covid 19"

Totally get it. They shouldn’t be making $ off of this and if you’re going to try, at least make a better shirt 

They're not trying to make money off it, they're making a commentary on the mismanagement of the pandemic.

Disgusting how they’re insinuating that they want Trump to die of Covid. Absolutely disgusting. This band is a fucking disgrace 

Edit: I don’t give a fuck what anyone’s political beliefs are but regardless, this is way over the top.

They are not insinuating they want Trump to die of Covid.  They're commenting on Trump's position that the economy should re-open despite the pandemic, which will put tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of lives at risk.  He toured a mask factory with "Live n' Let Die" playing in the background, which is ironic because that's basically his attitude.  I can't believe people here don't get that.

Why all the negativity about the "Live n' let die with Covid 45" t-shirt?  Y'all need to relax a bit.  This is an obvious reference to the recent trip Trump made to the mask factory, where he was the only person in the room not wearing a mask, and handling/breathing all over the new masks that were being made while Live n' Let Die was blaring in the background.  The irony was hilarious.  I can't believe so many of you are shitting on this - take your panties out of a bunch.

The Atlas clip is so obviously real though.

One could say the same thing about evader's work though.

People posting Evader General remixes and fake Silkworms remixes on Reddit and YouTube.

Exactly.
