Listening to that version of Crash Diet highlights to me that the song really isn't that good. I'm glad it wasn't officially used. 

I agree.  I think fans only clambered for it simply because it was one of the few non-albums tracks out there in the Illusions era. Look at all the songs on the Unwanted Illusions album, Bring It Back Home, Sentimental Movie, Just Another Sunday. They are all total crap and had they actually been on the albums, the band would have been mocked for them. The only b-side they released was Shadow of your Love on the Live and Let Die single. Other than that, it was all album tracks, so sure, Crash Diet seems cool because it was "new" Guns N' Roses,, but it really is shit.

The record never showed up. But best Buy never let me in, so it might still be in the stock room. I guess we're still stuck in round two.

Still standing in line at Best Buy. No new album on the shelf yet.  I hope it gets a retro cassette release too!

Mine is you're crazy piano version!!!

Oh, I have seven bootlegs of that, listened to it to death. Hoping for something we haven't heard before.  Supposedly Axl's accordion era is his White Album. Rumor is there are six albums worth of songs. But the thought of an artist having that much unheard music is absurd.

Sure. It's time to open a new tread to vote for our fauvorite song of the album!!!

Don't Cry (alternate, alternate lyrics) will be my fav. Or the 2020 version of TWAT (alternate cowbell)

Round three begins in less than twelve hours! Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I haven't been this excited since round two.

So is this new album dropping on the 24th or 25th?  I don't want to get in line too soon. In 2008 I did the midnight release at Best Buy and I was the only one there. I felt like a twat.  I know it's likely a digital release, but I feel like I should line up somewhere to show my support.  Circle K, maybe? The bank? Maybe I should get ice cream, so at least that way I still get ice cream. 31 flavors, 31 excuses why it's been 12 years since that sad night I lined up on my own to buy CD on CD.

Nothing lasts forever. Dear God I hope that's true...

That’s what Tiffany Trump prefers too

This is the best comment on the internet, ever. 

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Watched it seven times already.

I am 1000% sure the trademarks will be used for everything EXCEPT new music. Probably more cheap merch or some sort of high end fashion line like the BS they had during the launch of NITL. 

Yeah. I'd like to say you're wrong... but... history and all that...

Can't stop reading this! Excellent job, mate!

So bummed, I received notice yesterday that it is canceled and not rescheduled. I've waited since '97 to FNM in Phoenix again. Boo.

We have played? Jesus fucking Christ? We? What universe does this guy live in? On no level is he a we, and to claim he his, is beyond delusional. Still, at least the dysfunction with this brand is consistent.

If it cost me $150 in lost ticket money to see LN and TM go out of business, I'd call it money well spent. Fuck TM and their 30% "convenience" charges and their insider scalping to falsely inflate pricing.

I don't disagree with your overall sentiment but it's only fair to point out it's not the band or their management sending cease & desists over video footage.

I'm an author. If someone is doing something detrimental and claiming to be me,  and I have full knowledge about it and I do nothing to protect my fans or myself, I am endorsing it and I may as well be doing it myself. Inaction with knowledge is still action. That is why I said the band is doing it. Someone is acting on their behalf. They know it and do nothing. That's condoning mistreatment of their fans.

Ooh, I just discovered a new book in the franchise.

"Don't Dam Me - The need to keep the river flowing for sustained water access"  Fucking epic reading! It has beavers in it.

And if you take out that one of Gn'R's releases is a covers album, UYI has two covers, an EP with 2 live covers and a remix, and SFTD is another cover, the output looks even worse. That ends up being 62.

One I like (and is meaningful to me): Oasis had their whole recording career between the release of The Spaghetti Incident and that of Chinese Democracy. That's 7 studio albums + 2 or 3 album worth of b-sides.

Oasis did over 71 b-sides and additional tracks. Not including any demos Noel wrote in the era and used on his NGHFB albums. That's five 14 track albums.  To put that into perspective, GnR has officially released 79 tracks in total. 12 (AFD) 8 (Lies) 30 (UYI) 12 (TSI) 14 (CD) 1 (shadow) 1 (OMG), 1 (SFTD).

Acoustic set? Have we forgotten the Bridge School show?  Let's not.
