    I gotta disagree with most of you in regards to the potential live album. While I DO agree it would be cool of they started releasing every show (so we could get the shows we actually went to), it is Guns after all, lol. 

    So I personally would RATHER have a quality product with minimal (or no) overdubs. Which I think that's more than possible if they take the BEST performances from each song, from the whole tour. Let's be real here, the Apollo show has some amazing moments and some less than stellar. The Forum show is better overall imo, but it also has some weak moments. I dont think (we) the fans, benefit from weak songs/moments on a live album.

    The last two live albums I purchased (because I didn't buyAppetite for Democracy, no thanks) was Zeppelins O2 performance and Van Halen Tokyo Dome. Let's be honest here, both of those are pretty weak imo, and I NEVER listen to them. I DO listen to a couple of tracks off of Tokyo Dome, but most of it is just painful. The Zepplein concert is ok, I suppose. But IMO it's the WORST Zeppelin "offcial" release you can buy, worse than Coda even. I dont like the tuned down versions of the songs, plus it lacks the magic of real Zeppelin. I would rather listen to How the West Was Won or my boots, than O2. 

    So when it comes to Guns, I dont want a crap live album like those. I dont think anyone really wins with those. I'm POSITIVE that if they listen to multiple concerts they "felt good" about, they can pick the best versions from those, and they will be pretty good. I would actually listen to that, and enjoy it. 

    Half of the Appetite songs from the Apollo show are not that great, but Better and some others were GREAT. The Appetite songs are pretty good on the Forum show, but some of the CD songs (Prostitute especially) are weak. 

    Quality over quantity imo.

    I don't think they could find a good paradise city if they searched through the entire tour.

    Not to turn this into a Bon Jovi discussion since this is GNR, but Jon's voice wasn't shot when I saw Bon Jovi perform in May of this year. Now it's true that Jon can't hit the high notes anymore like he did back in the day, but his voice was actually good.

    I find it funny how fans and  in Jon's case media state that both Axl's and Jon's voices are  shot when that's not the case.  

    Yep, thats why I'm not gonna argue with this person.
