    Locked N' Loaded Box Set

    in Appetite For Destruction Remastered Sub-Section

    Posted

    Wondering if anyone can help me. I purchased the "Appetite For Destruction - Locked N' Loaded Box" secondhand, and it seems I have something odd. The set is complete and the contents were still fully shrink wrapped, but the Certificate of Authenticity was numbered "00000." Which is weird... Basically I'm just trying to figure out what I have here, as it seems a little strange. Any help is appreciated.

    Apologies for not seeing this until now. That is a promo version, same as one of the ones I have.

    I could have tried wedging this question into the “Perhaps” thread, but as it pertains to the “Magic 8 Ball” being sold on the official store website:

    I figure one of the answers you get when you shake the ball is “Perhaps”. Do you suppose the other answers are related to GN’R related songs or events?
     

    For example, maybe one of the answers is “You’re Crazy”, or another answer is “Not In This Lifetime”. Alternatives to the basic “yes” and “no” that you would get on a basic magic 8 ball.

    The description on the website doesn’t detail anything, but I assume “Perhaps” is one of the answers found on it. I’m not planning to buy it, but I may suggest it as a Christmas gift if someone in my family doesn’t have any gift ideas for me.

    Oh man, I sure as hell hope so.  Absurd could be another answer, Fuck Off, You're Crazy, Patience, Don't Cry, Sorry...

    I don't know, maybe some of those wouldn't work, but I thikn this could be done.  I guess the real toy has 20 different answers.  I thikn they could come up with 20 GNR-related phrases/sayings

    Hahaha you're welcome visit Israel and see that in the good case,  merch stands looks like street market stands. Bad case? A simple folding table. 

    As for the tags, I can tell you that tour shirts prior to 2016 had tags, and not the GN'R print you're referring too. 

    Then again, what do i know? Stupid me, buying fake merchandise from lame stands INSIDE the venue :D

    I'll just sit here in quite until you'll share with us your majestic top notch official shirts from the concert you'll attend to. 

     

    Has anyone apologized to you yet?

    What is the story behind the Live Era '87 - '93 Music Video of Welcome To The Jungle?

    Are the first four just the regular music videos, followed by the Live Era WTTJ video?:

    Indeed.

    That’s a nice rare item! I’m assuming the other videos (DC, Yesterdays, Estranged, and NR) are just live from Tokyo ‘92?  
     

    Edit: Yesterdays wasn’t performed at Tokyo, whoops! Video from Las Vegas ‘92 then? 🤔

    Just the regular videos IIRC

    Yeah - once the actual announcement came and the packages were unveiled it was obvious to he SD was the big package. You have actually answered my next question in that it was the bands choice not to include demos etc. At least there are demos on the internet and maybe that played a part in their choice. The lack of Ain’t Going Down is very odd.

    Re AFD set - I can only assume that their choice for the lack of AFD live stuff means we might see standalone releases at some point.

    Cheers for acting as a go-between - it will have helped to ensure live footage (both audio and video) were included this time. 👍

    I am not a hopeful person normally, but a small part of me is hoping the cds will have hidden tracks.  Guess we will see.  I wouldn't hold your breath.  I was told that regarding the AFD box back then, still waiting on those releases.  I hope I helped in some small way, hard to know.

    Shirts, hoodie etc. Bought from you a 3 or 4 years back. Still wear the shirt you sent all the time.

    Oh I see.  Yes, I hope to have a list out "soon".

    I just wish they released all the UYI merch all over again. Hands down, best period being the fan!

    UYI double sided dye shirt...

    That shirt is one of the things I suggested.  I said maybe include some kind of voucher and people can send away for whatever size it is they need.

    So what was @troccoliimput in this boxset?

    Can you give us any info? Thanks in advance 

    Same as the last one, just sent all of my memorabilia to them.  I am sure that will all be in the book.  Other than that the only thing I did was compile all of your suggestions from way back when and sent it to them in an email.  Not sure if it had any effect or not.

    @troccoli Do you have any new info about the boxset that you can share with us? Please and thank you :)

    Just what was revealed today

    On 9/19/2022 at 2:14 PM, DTJ80 said:

    I’m guessing that stuff will be included in a premium set with all the bells and whistles (maybe literally if the AFD box is anything to go by 🤣🤣🤣). Why else would @troccolibe involved….surely more than just flyers and photos?

    Pretty sure the super deluxe is it, I don't believe there is anything higher/more expensive coming

    @troccolii know you likely can’t say but can you say a blanket “yes” or “no” (or give an 8 ball style cryptic response) if videos could possibly be included?

    I recognize if you can’t, but I figured I had to try

    I was actually wondering the same thing...

    Even though @troccoli asked us for suggestions to pass on to UMG they only one that they actually did was include more live stuff. And I guess include fewer trinkets and have a lower price. But still, they could've done a lot more.

    I passed everything along.  I was told it was the band's decision last time not to include live material, and their decision this time not to have demos/outtakes, etc.

    Pity the lack of 93 stuff. It's good it's being released but just a little underwhelming. Also, does troccoli still sell stuff?

    Sell what exactly?

    I’m not gonna lie - anytime you post on this thread is a definite plus point. 🤣

    Im not sure if you know/can say - but there was some discussion recently on another website that a surround sound version of the UYI had been worked on by Steven Wilson (and apparently rejected). Do you know if there is any truth to that - or even if the surround disc was even discussed by the project?

    Cheers 👍

    You are too kind, but thank you.  I haven't heard about that, but it sounds great.  I would also like the other mixes of the albums.  For example the Bob Clearmountain mixes.  But I suppose they might look at it froma point of who cares about minor variations.  I mean us the diehard fans might, but who else?  For example, the Chinese Democracy locker leaks.  Half a decibel drums up, half a decibel drums down, etc.  But for me, personally, I say just throw whatever you got on there, you know?
