short but sweet, that is pretty much like it happened in 1988 and 1989, Guns n Roses was the hottest thing in the planet, period

To be honest, if you're really digging it and going for a third listen, it would be a sorry state of affairs if you didn't drop him $1!

Hardly breaking the bank is it?! 

Edit: I see you edited your original post to actually criticize him even more. Well done. 

yes i got pissed because mr walllet took the candy out of my mouth

Absolutely unreal that someone is kicking off about giving a musician $1 for a song they like. 

ONE FUCKING DOLLAR! 

I'd love to know how they think musicians make a living. 

you are missing the point

this its not about the dollar

it is about doing it right

if you are giving something for free, then GIVE IT FOR FREE, dont take the candy out of my  fucking mouth when i am fucking enjoying it

ha really digging the track and went for a third listening in a row and got this message

The time has come to open thy heart/wallet.

Our good old Bumble with a new instrumental track. What do ya think? 

Pretty bad ass imo

NOT BAD AT ALL, there are a lot of good things going on on this jam, some cool funky guitar stuff

the main riff is fucking good, except for the very end of it when he plays 2 zillion notes

two, three long stretched notes would be so much better

these guys like bumblefoot cant help themselves, they always seem to fall into these dream theather like mannerisms and almost never remember to give some room for the song to breathe

The AFD five, plus Matt, are incredibly immature people imho. It took 23 years and boat load of cash - and indeed the boat itself too, looking at you Duff - to get just 50% of these man babies to even flesh out a very basic co-worker relationship.

 

there seems to be very different levels of maturity in the GNR guys

axl and steven apparently seem to be really, really immature

axl apparently surrended to the yes men since doug goldstein and never looked back

steven apparently is a kid at heart always trying to have a good time and sometimes too much good time doesnt end well as he surely knows by now

slash and duff apparently can handle themselves like adults outside GNR, they have had somewhat small but consistent, solid solo careers. inside GNR Duff and Slash have betrayed all that they said for years about the reunion etc but thats another story

izzy apparently is pretty mature, pretty smart, and by all accounts he has been behaving like an adult since 1991, hasnt he?

If the record label decided that they REALLY didn't want to release a new album they could sit on the album.

That was never the case, right?

I think they professionally recorded every show on the UYI tour. It means that, in theory, we have UYI era pro-shot footage of all the rare/lesser played songs out there.

yeah, sure, all the leaked pro shots like indiana, oklahoma and saskatoon kinda prove that

Not quite the same as making my own Live Era, but I dream of a definitive Kissology retrospective release from the band. I know, I'll keep dreaming.

- include Tokyo as well just to have a Blu-ray version of it, but do it properly with the songs in the correct order

do you think they professionally recorded the two other Tokyo nights in video just like the one that was released?

i am asking because they played Coma and Locomotive as you probably know

Think what I have is Primeiramente de Rio, Maracana XPII and Frans' version of Indiana. 

I think Axl sounded really bad in Rio 1991, and that in combination with the sound quality being very much sub-par seals the deal. Seriously, there are A LOT of audience recordings that are better quality-wise than Rio IMO. 

Primeiramente de Rio and Maracana XPII are from Aces High and as far as I know they are MP3 sourced. i remember searching on old gnr bootleg sites and one of these guys who knows a lot about audio extracted the wave lenght (or whatever that was) from the GNR aces high CDs and he was so pissed because that wave lenght showed to him that they were MP3 sourced. It is a shame because the artwork is truly good, specially for the time when the CDs were released. Another good thing about these Rio 1991 Aces High CDs is that they have the full concert from the second night (jan 23) and it is priceless

Older CD bootlegs from the early 90s usually have much better sound, the italians are usually great. Some titles that come to my memory right now for the Rio shows are Rock in Rio and Brazil

Indiana has tons of early 90s versions on boot CD that you probably know like Dramas & Traumas etc. The trick i guess is to try and find which year it was made, usually the older the better, and some boot "companies" are also famous for the sound quality, i guess Kiss the Stone was one of them

Perfect Crime has a lot of good performances, but from the bootlegs i've heard, either that intro, the St. Louis show, or the Texas '91 show have the best versions; you could take your pick honestly. 

Dust N' Bones, which is probably my favorite GN'R tune, has it's best performances from the two stockholm shows, I only give the nod to the second night because I think Slash's solo is better.

Rocket Queen was pretty simple, the Weedsport NY show, along with most of the '88 shows, is pretty good. It's simple, keeps the best of the original album version, and I consider it Steven's signature song along with Brownstone. Couldn't help but pick an original lineup show. 

Jungle is tough, considering it's the signature song of the band, I felt like i had to go back to the original lineup. I loooove Matt Sorum, really do. But, with Axls voice, and the touring experience under their belts, I went with a later Appetite lineup show. Although there's dozens of versions of Jungle that could be picked. 

I picked for Jungle, SCOM, and Paradise City, versions that are great, but not well known

thanks for that, classic!

I've avoided the SBD performances I consider to have poor audio (RIR, Indiana, St. Louis, Chile and the second performance in Argentina 1993).

oh fuck i love all of those... did you by any chance listen to the silver discs of rio 91 and indiana 91? some of them have great sound much better than youtube etc

iirc someone from Kings of the Sun implied that GnR was ripping off Rose Tattoo (or their image or something) in an interview. Also they apparently mooned the audience and Axl didn't like that either

oh i see, thanks for the explanation mate

wow, thanks so much for that, great great great info on the song, on the girl who inspired it and also on angry feelings about her

He still has it, in the studio especially. Angel Down, and on some of the leaked tracks, and on CD. His cleaner singing was by choice. I like all of his styles. 

hopefully you are correct and hopefully he can give us some good recordings in the future

yeah i know the clean voice was his choice and that is absolutely crazy to me, how is it possible that the best singer ever gets to choose to sing like that is beyond me

what annoys me more is that he sings and sounds like a broken, defeated man

it is the opposite of gnr axl when it was more like "listen all of you, you are not gonna put me down, no matter how fucking hard you try" etc

i didnt really understand what is going on

apparently there is an article that accuses GNR of being a Rose Tattoo rip off and apparently this same article attacks GNR for giving the opening slot to King of The Sun (instead of Rose Tattoo?) and Axl answers to that?

I listened to it for the first time about a year ago, and didn't like it. Maybe I should give it another shot.

I really liked his 2008 solo album, would have loved to hear something like that with Axl on it. I have not really liked his subsequent work after that.

Loved Velvet Revolver. 

yeah i guess you should, its worthy, thats probably the album where slash sound more bluesy like he did on GNR

i like that 2008 solo album too, some very good songs on it, good singers

i am a bit divided about axl singing it. if you are talking GNR Axl, i am all for it

(my appreciation for axl and gnr is so big that i think that back then in the early 90s george w bush should have declared axl and guns n roses as "national american treasures" and should have asked them to record as many songs as possible in order to provide good music for the american people and for the world hahahahaha)

but if you are talking after'GNR axl then i just dont know, can you see him doing any good to those slash 2008 songs by singing the way he did on his album with that voice and that delivery?

Same way I felt when listening to the album first. It took me years to like Ain't Life Grand as well. His two best albums outside of Guns.

Ha!

thats funny cause it also happened to me with aint life grand BUT i still cant enjoy it... maybe if i keep trying for some more years hahahahaha, maybe i should give it a try today

i am pretty sure thats because of rod jacksons voice

i tried a lot of times to listen to that album and i can tell that there are cool things going on BUT i cant stand rods voice

same for myles

i would absolutely LOVE to have instrumental versions of everything slash ever recorded with rod and myles

listened to the album once and didnt like it

slash came on tour on my city and i decided not to go

few months later i gave the cd a second try and (no idea why) started enjoying it more and more and more...

to the point of really liking it

well, there was no more slash show for me to attend when that happened!

Axl had stated that he didn't want to be defined by only one album, Appetite (the meaning of the famous quote about "burying Appetite" that has been often misunderstood) but that's exactly what happened, at least as far the "general public" goes. I think that, although he accepted it (hence the Appetite-heavy setlists since 2001), he has never made peace with it.

i dont think it has to do with accepting, i think it is directly related with the fact that HE ABSOLUTELY NEEDED to play Appetite songs to have people constantly coming to his shows from 2001 until 2020 and is pretty obvious that they will keep on needing those songs to keep attracting people

Tommy said he thought Axl cares too much about what other people think

Zakk Wylde said similar stuff about Axl

A quote by Zakk Wylde from 2006 Guitar World Magazine:

"I remember jamming with Axl Rose, and he was like, "Look at Fred Durst and Eddie Vedder. They're on the cover of Rolling Stone. Man, they've got something good going on."

I go, "Your joking right? That dude wears a backward baseball cap, and you're Axl fucking Rose. Are you outta your fucking mind? Eddie Vedder can't lick your balls on a good day!" [laughs]

I'm not joking man. I am stating fact. Whatever trend was popular, Axl wanted to do it."
