You have a YT channel? You really should promote it here more often to let people know (I kid, I kid lol)

Wow thats huge! I've listened to a bunch of your reviews but, obviously, missed that one. Hopefully you can still keep the channel going! Did you sell it all or keep a few keepsakes? 

Kept a very few things. 

The channel is going strong than ever actually. We put a new audio podcast out every Monday. Then I have new YouTube videos that are different content from the podcast every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Hey @RussTCBI saw in another thread that you stopped collecting vinyl earlier this year. What let to that? The ridiculous cost of records over the past few years (and getting worse)? What's the newest vinyl you have purchased?

Thanks for keeping up with my YouTube channel 😂 (I kid, I kid). I just explained this all months ago on my channel, so I had to go for the easy joke

In any case, the very short version is that I moved 1000 miles away from where I was living. With the value my record collection was sitting at, I made a deal to sell the whole thing off and not move it with me.

Bear with me on this one, guys!

I was at last night's concert and what I saw was mind boggling.

Let me start with Axl's voice, it sounded right (better that RIR) for the  most part, but as I was maybe two to three meters away from the stage, when he spoke to the crowd it seemed so filtered (like the Locomotive voice).

To me this was THE WORST GNR CONCERT I EVER SAW and let me explain why:

I think this is my seventh GNR concert, and I've never seen a major lack of effort from Slash and Duff in my life.

It seemed like they were too tired, wanting to get it over with soon. They were on time, the show lasted for three whole hours.

BUT:

• Slash was off in most of the songs and I mean most of the times even in the wrong keys.
• Rocket queen was louzy as fuck
• The band screw up attitude
• You can her Ferrer makinh huge tempo mistakes and Duff comming to the riser (not once or twice, but 4, 5, 6 times)
• Richard not having fun at all, barely moving.
• Axl screwing up Hard Skool at the last part singing it completely out of tempo.
• The band teased the SP crowd, hours before the set with a picture of the setlist and the saying "What do You Wanna Ad?" (or somethinh like that) and nothing was added.
• Why not mix a bit among Attitude, I Wanna Be Your Dog and New Rose?
• Why not mix a bit among Coma and Locomotive?
• Why not drop does fillers Blues Jams and just play something else instumentally like they did with Train Kept a Rolling in the 90s.

GREAT POINTS

• Reckless Life
• Shadow of Your Love
• Sorry

MAJOR DISAPOINTMENT

1. Playing COMA instead of LOCOMOTIVE
2. The same setlist for barely 6 years
3. The band being off and with a lot of mistake, nothing compared to 2016 our 2917.

WHAT COULD BE NEXT IMO

• 1. One to two/three songs - Chi Dem reworked versions (Within the next years)
• 2. This last run and no tour for I think forever
• 3. Maybe a new new song with the five Alummini
• 4 Chi Dems box set with the remixed album and maybe some of Slah's and Duff's inputs in it

AND THAT'S IT

They came, the won, they conquererd, they did that same triangle until its complete depletion and know they play to sand, zombies, die hard and cute little bimbos saying "Oh I Love November Rain, is that the video with the marriage? I would love to get married to Dirk someday!"

 

 

This is such a bummer, I feel bad for you. I'm sure you're like many of the rest of us where you're more or less rooting for GN'R to do great when you see them. 

It's such a bummer when you go see a band and you can just tell they don't care. I'm glad there were a few bright spots for you though.

I don't like how they're not offering the vinyls and CD's in one set. That leaves me leaning toward the Super Deluxe set with the CD's. It is not in my budget to be buying both.

LOL "vinyls"

This is so obviously fake "axl not being pleased with the timing" oh fuck off

That's just a new variant of "plans changed". Hilarious stuff, really.

Things are quiet. They were right about no new songs in the UYI box, as well as Axl not being pleased with the timing of the boxset (typical Axl lol). I believe we'll get an EP (or 2) at some point but who the hell knows with this band  ...

So your "source" knows some incredibly obvious stuff. Good on you for keeping the whole "I have a source" bit. It's entertaining now and again.

Although it's lame (for the people who want to have it all in physical formats) that the extra live tracks can be found only on the deluxe CD editions, I think it's cool that they included these tracks from Izzy's last show at Wembley (although it's questionable if Izzy can be heard on them).

My guess is that all the tracks will be on streaming anyway. 

They're getting slaughtered on social media posts from music news sites for pricing and rightfully so. 

Per usual, I would love to be wrong. It would be awesome if new GN'R music appeared tomorrow.

You guys still excited about this shit?

I mean zero disrespect to the users of this forum, but I've been wondering the same thing. 

If.... that's a big IF.....GN'R is going to release music on Friday, it'll happen on Friday. Not sure how/why continually searching Spotify helps ahead of that.

It makes no sense the AFD L&L is on “sale” for $399 but they still thought to price the UYI box set at $499. Like, how do you even justify it? The AFD cabinet itself is dope. And that set comes with a hell of a lot more than UYI. UYI doesn’t even come with a thumb drive containing digital versions of the songs, does it?
 

I’ll wait till the super deluxe is $200. People who got burned paying a grand for the L&L box clearly haven’t learned their lesson. 

"It's Makes No Sense, The GN'R Story" sounds like a great title for a book. 

The "insider" play book never changes. 

They can never tell us more than the obvious: 

That GN'R might have been ready to release something, but they're not going to. 

That Axl has a hard time with the label 

That big things are still being planned. 

And then of course, they always have the same exact fall back:

Plans changed.

Re : November Rain 2022, Steven Wilson has confirmed the below :

https://twitter.com/swremixes/status/1572349924410286081

“The new 2022 version is the same performance as the original but with newly recorded orchestration replacing the sampled sounds used on the original mix".

He mixed the new version .

 

Interesting. People on here are still going to argue with each other over what was re recorded and what wasn't though 😂

You'd think the band would post something on their socials about it. Guess Fernando is still busy with Instagram right now 

Oh, I agree. It just is what it is for me though. Sadly, I just assuming a Google search is far more reliable than any official GN'R source.

Where's the announcement? It's not on any of their social media .. This band SUCKS

It's been said several times, but Universal put out a press release for it. You can find it with a quick Google search.
