Any idea if we will get any remastered concert videos & any 90-96 demos? TSI unheard stuff?

I can't say for sure, but I do recall asking early on if it would include any TSI stuff.  Especially because the TSI album was released while UYI stuff was still going on, the release of the Estranged single as an example.  But I was told no.  Now whether or not any of that changed I couldn't say.

I have this can from 1993.  Excellent condition.  Not opened.  I know that it is rare.  Looking to sell.  What do you think worth?

Can I ask how you know that for sure there is a can opener inside?

Have the label been back in touch after the initial communication? It’s certainly a step in the right direction that they wanted to canvass the ‘hardcore’ as to what the deluxe set should include - just wondered if there was any acknowledgment of what was given as feedback?

Im sure it will definitely hit the mark better this time - the fact they reached out in the first place suggests that. 👍

I just want to be absolutely clear about something, and I apologize if I gave anyone any misconceptions.  They never reached out about advice for the set.  They reached out to me about the box, saying it's being worked on, wanted me to give them a list of things from my collection that I feel would go well with everything.  But solicited or not, because I am able to contact them and they actually reply and all, I thought it would be cool to survey all of you for ideas regarding content.  Simply because I knew that they were conducting research now, always more helpful what you know what to look for.  I cannot guarantee in any way that they will heed any of the suggestions at all.  Point in fact I have not received feedback on it yet, to answer your question.

Cheers for clearing up, and not sure if you'd know about this one.....but do you reckon the label says "we're doing this and you can be involved or not" and they choose to be involved? 

Does the decision on it's release come from the band or not? 

I don't know for a fact, but I'd imagine perhaps not.  I am guessing they might still be recouping money from CD.  I am still unclear if the label paid for that, Or Axl, or both, or what.  But regardless, I would imagine they still ask the band/management to be involved.  Don't need any more lawsuits/complications like Greatest Hits for example.

The illusion re-release will surely happen at some point? I got the impression the AFD was the record company just going ahead and doing it, whether the band wanted it or not, so there's every chance we see this one too. 

Whether the contents will be decent and the pricing reasonable is anyone's guess! 

The band was involved, Axl supplied personal photos, Duff came into the office periodically to check on things, etc.

We are over halfway through the year. I'm surprised we have not heard anything official yet, if it was planned for 2021. Maybe they are aiming for a Christmas release? 

If so, an actual new album this year would be less likely, I'd assume.

I remember I was washing my vehicle when I got a text that a new GN'R album was coming out. It happened to be the AFD re-release. lol

Could be, hard to say.  Because even when the Appetite box was released, it wasn't released on the same day as when the album was first released, it was like 3 weeks earlier IIRC.  Let's not forget too that like most places of work, COVID derailed things at Universal too.  I am not blaming a new album/new tracks on that, but it did affect the production of the box.  I don't mean the factory production, I mean the research, the design, etc.

Well, the AFD re-release was the wrong year don't forget! I'd go for it being released next summer if it happens.

In my personal view there's now zero chance of a new album this year and minimal chance of there ever being one. 

I think next summer too.

I have all of the deluxe sets and about to pre-order my Black album one too. If you buy at the right time you can get them around the £150-£180 mark but what you get in terms of content is off the charts - a few trinkets but mainly oodles of audio/video content.

It’s often said that Moscow 91 is one of their best gigs and we are about to get it on vinyl as part of this set. 🥳

I don’t spend much cash on stuff so when these sets appear I’m all in.

Yeah - GNR and MetallicA are my two favourite bands so it like polar opposites on how to approach things. 🤦‍♂️

I don't know why the difference, but sealed MOP boxsets are selling for upwards of 2K on eBay lately!  Yet not nearly the same for sealed KEA or RTL or AJFA.  Strange.  Same two favorite bands by the way 

Pics?

Right? Like Dodger stadium, that would make all of us happy. Maybe throw in a couple other songs that were added later.

 

Has the label said anything more about the boxset?

Hey there.  Not much, but I haven't really asked for details either.  Pretty much what I have said in the other thread remains it.

I'd like to know too. Can't imagine any such conversation between a fan and a label should be a secret. 
 

What exactly did they say - can you post it here? 

It's all in that other thread.

On 1/1/2021 at 5:50 PM, MaskingApathy said:

There's a thread about it somewhere where we could suggest stuff for the boxset.

Thank you.

You're right about has another thread about UYI boxset.

Yep, indeed there is.

Ok. I suppose the info is from the Lebeis camp...

That info is NOT from the Lebeis camp.

Remember the 1st ever AUD GN'R video was 1/18/1986 Roxy by Marc Canter.

What's AUD?

Another article not researched.  Guns had a horn section supporting them when they opened for the Stones in 89, and I am pretty sure they had horns on stage for some songs even in the club days.  No true journalism anymore 

For those so inclined, there is GNR pinball merch (other than the machines) on the Jersey Jack pinball site right now!

I was such a massive fan back in 1993, that I bought so much stuff just because it was GN’R branded, including this ugly TSI tshirt.

I have no idea it’s worth, as while it’s in pretty good condition, it’s not exactly next to new.
So I don’t know who’d want to buy a slightly used, kinda smelly from being so old, vintage TSI tshirt. 

Many people believe it or not.

1st shirts sold in January of 1986:

anyone buy the 7 Lith set? I just picked it up cuz of the 20% discount, I am surprised to see it as long as I have because it is only a 150 limited run though the Lithographs are not that appealing and the $175 normal price is less appealing , still I feel I must have seen them selling them on the website for about 2 years

I did buy it back when.  IMO, very nice packaging, and the prints are nice too.  Yeah, the price can always be better, not sure how that's determined or who makes the determination.

Thanks for correction. Did Izzy and Axl guest in LA as well?

Well, the entire band opened for them in LA, along with the band Living Colour.  But no, I can't find anything indicating that they performed any songs with the Rolling Stones during those 4 nights.

That site has such amazing detail, truly impressive.  Wish I could afford them, wish I could afford the first one, wish I had room for any of it!

Iirc the initial offer was much lower. But Guns was basically out of commission at the time. So Niven used that as leverage. These would be Guns 'comeback shows.'

Something like that at least.

Its also how Axl got the idea to blow all their cash on lavish back stage parties in the coming years - because the Stones were already doing huge business and had incredible back stage stuff going on.

The Stones recently released a concert vid from those shows that includes Izzy and Axl joining the Stones for Salt of the Earth.

That recently released vid is from shows in Atlantic City.  The shows mentioned here for a million bucks were the four shows in LA.
