Here's another Marc quote:

"It really wasn't a real song, just something they put together and it was quick and short and it wasn't anything special like the rest of the songs"

I had read that this song was under a minute in length. Any truth to this? 

Super deluxe for me. Got the songs and I'm super curious about that book 

Nice to  see it without this giant fucking watermark and all transcoded

Strange to erase it, why not just bleep out the very few “offensive” words.

Axl said years ago that he'd remove it off all future pressings (and this is a NEW pressing) of Lies because that, and "Look at Your Game Girl" were too easily misunderstood. How is it no one remembers this?

Wow. NOBODY remembers Axl stating that he was going to remove "One in a Million" and "Look at Your game Girl" from all future pressings because "they're too easily misinterpreted"? He said this some years back.

Disclaimer: I absolutely dont want to defent the price of $1k. Its about 50% too high. 

But I dont think the iphone comparison is that bad: The boxset as well as the iphone are luxury goods. No one of us needs them. No one of us HAS to buy them.  

Sure, most people would like to have them. But unfortunately not all are in the financial position to buy them. Thats life. Thats capitalism. Simple as that.

From my point of view the only mistake GNR made is that the vinyl will not be sold seperately or in a bundle with the book for - lets say - 300 bucks. This is what pisses me off. A CD/book bundle in 2018?! Come on! 

 

 

 

So you have a flip phone then?

It's like saying "my car is $1K and it wears out after a few years" or "that 2 month all inclusive holiday is $1k and it's gone at the end of 2 months". Ludicrous comparisons. 

Seems like it's just trolling from non-fans who weren't buying the set to begin with. No matter the product, if people don't like the price of something, you'll always get these trolling comparisons. 

Looking at the FB comments on the $1k set, I've noticed the way that some people (who aren't going to buy it anyway), are justifying the price are saying "An I-Phone is $1k and you throw that away after a year". 

It's a weird comparison for sure.

I think it for every set except the wooden box it's more in the volumes then actually making a huge margin on a single unit. But yeah I guess they'll make quite a few bucks on the box, but you are very right that a lot of hours have gone in creating it, designing the box, the litho's, posters, picks, everything. Someone has to manage all this, discuss it back and forth with everybody who has a say in it, prepare this whole gnr.fm thing, and I have to say; they did a fine job in keeping it under wraps for so long.

I'm amazed that the idiot who gave the $650 price tag suckered so many people.

I was probably out at £650. I’m definitely out at £850.

In truth I’m most likely going with the 2CD remaster and streaming the rest.

Predictable but it seems Axl doesn’t fancy defending One in a Milllion in the woke era. RIP.

years ago he said that One in a Million would be removed from future pressings because it's "too easily misunderstood". Same with the Manson song. 

I do wonder if the Lies remasters have the crowd noise removed. You know, just for something different.

No. Those are demo's from a later period.

I'm kind of bummed Ain't Going Down is an instrumental though. I think there's a demo from the AFD years with lyrics from another session. 

It's a pinball exclusive!

Too polished and slow. The 'wake up it's time to play version' is by far the best, raw and fast with some of Axl's best ever singing.

Yeah, that one is my favorite

Kind of like the Nice Boys level imo. He could handle that and it would sound awesome I think. 

Yeah, that might be all right

Hey, we may see Shadow of Your Love live this summer! How cool would that be.

Not very. I don't know if Axl could pull that off.

I suppose the LP stuff is also found on the CDs. So in total there is 49 unreleased tracks. Please note that it says "tracks" and not "songs", there will by multiple versions of the same songs. Do NOT expect 49 unreleased SONGS. And even if these are unreleased (by the band), most of it will still not be UNHEARD by us. Most of them are already featured on various bootlegs and on Youtube. But, there will be something that is new to us, new songs (like The Plague) and new versions of songs we know.

The cd part says tracks but the LP part says songs. Hmmm

But 49 unreleased songs! That's so many. What are we to expect? Like 3 versions of SOYL and a few versions of Don't Cry? Or will it be 49 different songs?

I'm a little confused on that. There's the 4cd's with the 49 unreleased songs. Then, there's the 3LP sound city sessions with 25 unreleased songs from the 1986 sessions.

Screenshots on Facebook gnr Fanspot. 

Actually, in another tabe I still have the page up and the video still plays. 

Video seems to be down

June 29th?? Is this thing not being released tomorrow?

I think it's the announcement day. Promo videos. They start up GNR shows in June right?

Ok the majority of people aren't going to pay $50 per disc. Amazon for the most part has the best price especially with their pre release price guarantees. If it's 4 cds/dvds and 5 or more vinyls (Lafon said multiple hands worth of vinyls) that would explain the price.

Well, at least there's the chance that it'll be on Spotify so I can "try before I buy" for the music. 

Just now, Subtle Signs said:

Discs means cds/dvds. Nobody is paying$200 for 4 cds/dvds. I'd guess the super deluxe edition has the multiple vinyls Lafon mentioned as well.

I wouldn't say that as an absolute. People pay all sorts of prices for things they want. 

I am hoping that if this actually the price (Amazon has been known to have fluctuating prices on new listings), it'll be well worth it. 

I've been having this problem for a little while. I get signed out and then my password doesn't work. I have to resend the invite to make a new password. I've tried Chrome and MS Edge. Any idea what's going on?

yes! i hope they add ALL the stuff we alreday have but now im fantastic sound quality and also give us stuff that we never listened to, specially studio stuff from that era!

and please with no re-recording whatsoever!

so there must be more stuff on it!

$650 sounds like a bullshit price someone brought up and everyone's buying into the lie 

I'm having to constantly update my password. Forum bug?
