All Nightrain membership shirts look horrible and made with the cheapest material. I own one unfortunately.

Basically imagine those you buy to wear at home from 1-Dollar-All shops.

Are the shirts made out of that cheap material and if you've got even the SLIGHTEST gut, the fabric clings to it?

On topic of Aerosmith, does anyone else agree Just Push Play is extremely underrated? Hope it’s not just me! 

I knew the guy in the Fly Away from Here video. Weird to see him in it.

Dust in the Wind, Axl should have done that more and also record it.

yeah there's a really cool yet crap quality audience recording where Alx and Slash just nailed it. I was hoping that it would be on the Illusion set

Always loved how during the end when Axl lets out that monster scream that it turns into a growl sounds so epic with the solo going underneath 

you mean the kazoos?

My favorite song in TSI?. Better than the OG(New York Dolls) version in my opinion.

yeah I love that song. I thought it weird that in the booklet, they got the running time code off by like 2 minutes.

No jewelcase as far as I know

with REALLY tiny photos. 

I gotta say, I didn't notice much of a difference between the original versions and the remastered ones.

I don't know if it's a common thing but it seems like the current band has barely acknowledged this release on the current tour. Like play a rarity or make a cool intro video of concerts from that era or even do a retrospective interview. You can't expect people to care when it seems like the band itself doesn't care.

the appetite set was like that too wasn't it?

The school bell is lame. The bass intro is dope. The old intro was gratuitous. I don’t like the new drums. There was something far more venomous about the chorus in the old version. Somehow it’s poppier on the studio release. “Absurd” is badass.

My issue isn’t the songs but the production. 

Speaking of Hard School, I never bought the CD single from the store. Is there a high res version I can purchase anywhere online?

I don't know if anyone caught this but here's an interview with Jeff Fura who was in charge of putting the box set together: https://www.musicweek.com/labels/read/axl-wanted-to-record-a-real-orchestra-on-november-rain-inside-the-new-guns-n-roses-boxset/086990

There's some pretty interesting stuff in the interview

Bad Apples.

Really? I thought Tokyo was shot on purpose for a home release by the band. Not TV station. AFAIK that show was never broadcasted in Japan TV like Argentina was. 

This is a weird one because there are two versions of it. There's the one Geffen put out on home video then there's the TDK one (the Japanese company). They each have different angles in spots. I'm sure I'm missing some of the deeper facts around the show for sure. It's just how I remember it. 

I have a question for those who have the Ritz Blu-Ray

Does the show just cut off when Jungle is almost finished? Every YouTube video where people try and upload the show has it cut off there

Munich '93 (and Estranged video) would look great when scanned in 4K but to be honest, we don't really know if they filmed the whole show throughuly or did they only film smaller fragments here and there to just get the atmosphere shots for the video. We know that most of the close-ups were filmed separately in a studio so it might be the case that we don't have the whole Munich show on film.

Cathouse '89 on the other hand might be similiar "Holy grail" as Ritz '91.
IIRC, they played full show there that was filmed in entirety for the It's So Easy video, so it's similiar case as the You Could Be Mine video shoot at Ritz. Cathouse gig had original lineup, apparently they were on fire AND it was shot on film. The ISE video they released for the AFD box looks amazing in HD.  Releasing Ritz '91 was great move - let's hope they would open the vault even more from now on.

So for AFD box they omitted the live stuff but we got lots of demos and for Illusion box we didn't get any demos but got lots of live footage. These fucking guys..

Long Beach Arena. WAY bigger than a studio

But yeah, I'd love to see these shows as well. There's so much more that could be released!

How are you all watching the blu-ray? I'm assuming not many of you bought the box set, so is it floating around elsewhere? 

it keeps getting uploaded onto YouTube but never the full show

Great seeing new stuff released.. 

I have watched some unboxing videos..

Not sure i want to part with cash given the price. The Vinyl option cost a bomb and the records themselves are in paper sleeves without plastic lining? ..the CD option seems the way to go, and cost almost half as much as the Vinyl option.

If i am honest, i wish they would release the Blu-ray on the live show on it's own

Ah1 You saw the same video I did!

Yeah, I'm learning more and more about vinyl and you REALLY have to do a lot to take care of it. 

I like what's there but not as much as i wanted to. I thought the remasters were going to be very different sounding. There's so much they left off like the videos and demos. They didn't include the Don't Cry demo on the Appetite box set and it should have been included here and wasn't. It also makes me wonder why they were so insecure with their performances for Live Era that they felt they had to edit them togethere where here, here they are, warts and all.

202 dollars on amazon US.

So you need to buy both cds separately, the box set and then the Japanese versions to get all tracks?

I think you'd be good with just the Japanese versions and the box set

No they didn't, they RECORDED the whole tour. They used VIDEO cameras, but not FILM, like the Ritz, because they were recording a music video. There is a huge difference in quality there.

Yup. Video is WWAAAAAYYYY cheaper than film stock

So what`s the verdict on the remastered UIY albums?

I just listened to both of them on my best B&O headphones and I thought that somehow the remastered songs are a bit of a mixed bag. They sound more "clear" but not as "full", at times drums sound almost as annoying as on Metallica`s Death Magnetic.  I hardly ever use an equalizer when listening to music, but in order to enjoy the UYI remasters I had to put the EQ to "energize" -I guess that means at B&O  bass and highs up - about 20%. In neutral setting I kind of miss the punch, warmth and energy in some songs. Anyone has similar thoughts or some experts have something enlightening to contribute?

I didn't notice much of a difference to be honest. The new November Rain is a bit more louder and in your face. It's an interesting listen but I prefer the original version

Just got my set. Anyone else’s Blu-ray constantly freezing?

Someone else on here was having the same issue 

Has anyone noticed crackling in Don't Cry at the end of the song? Ritz show

I read that the band rejected the full album remix by Steven Wilson, but they had to accept NR due to the new orchestra, so the new mix is mandatory. 

Read where?

The GNR Youtube channel updated with a bunch of "visualizer" videos for each song. It's basically a 3D rendering of the Super Deluxe box set moving back and forth with a rain effect going on. 

If anyone is buying the FLAC or AIFF versions, Prostudiomasters.com has a sale. The Illusions are $13.99 each and the Super Deluxe is $52.49

The Illusions are just the album, no extras. All 24 bit.
