I would be down for one. I enjoy even just putting on Glastonbury's ripped audio on as of late, I think having a fully mixed live release would be cool. Of course I would much rather them take new music as their biggest priority but I don't think it would be a bad move to release a live album considering Appetite for Democracy was the last live release and it features a long defunct lineup

Sad news, RIP Billy I know that it technically was the second album cover meant for AFD, but fate was really on their side with that one. The cross with the skull avatars is so iconic and more iconic than the original cover in my opinion, it really was a slam dunk and I think really helped out the album and the band as a whole

If that generation you come from is also the same generation that is triggered over a famous guitarist guesting on a famous movie, are you sure you weren't already castrated and you just didn't look down to check yet?

I never really understood why people get so worked up about seeing a musician make easy money by having fun guesting on things lol I can get the movie doesn't scream "rock and roll, middle finger to the man, screw you" but like, so what? I wish I had famous people calling me up to do little songs for various projects, that sounds like fun

Someone should do that and tag it as "The General (Audience down 1.5db)"

Why are people having heated arguments about Dizzy Reed on the Rome concert topic? Lol

This forum and this fandom is built upon obsessive over analyzing, welcome to MYGNR lol And I think people can go to shows to rock out AND can browse online forums over analyzing, that is what most of us have done for years

I wonder if MSL and Skwerl are bunk buddies?

Is it me or are they busting out There Was a Time a bit more frequently as of late? Cool stuff, glad to see other tunes getting some more attention this year

I am kind of curious how much of the militant approach to this is truly Axl and how much of it is Team Brazil behind Axl's back. Like personally I find it more plausible that TB made them take down Duff's interview more than Duff himself who gave the interview, or Axl Why? I dunno, but TB also really was dead set against working with the fanbase at the height of the Youtube takedowns and whatnot

I am imagining Duff in a cold sweat waking up in the middle of the night going "oh no, I may have said something actually informative about GNR, must text them to take the article down before TB wakes up!"

I do, especially if it is the 2016 Dodger Stadium Bluray that is rumors to have been recorded But honestly I would be totally down for an audio live album of a compilation of good performances of the songs in the setlist over the years. I am enjoying having the Glastonbury audio in my music library to jam out to

I think you heard a fanmade version, beyond a 2 minite barely audible phone clip no version has leaked or been heard publically yet

100%. I know GNR don't do themselves any favors, but yeah us fans can sometimes not do ourselves any either lol. Taking the shortest and soonest window of time something could potentially happen and freaking out the very second that arbitrary window of time passes

I have a random question - was there any actual confirmation that the setlist photo with The General was actually legit from a GNR show? Like, how do we know a person didn't copy the front from the setlists GNR do, print it out and put The General faintly on page 2 to mess with us? The photo I saw has a fairly nondescript black background on it I was skeptical from the start when it got posted, and sure it has the other new setlist additions however it also was posted right after the first show from what I recall. Was there actual confirmation it is real? Have there been other setlists this tour with The General on it?

I think Slither is a really nice addition to the set stylistically in addition to the sentiments of Axl returning the favor for Slash and Duff doing CD songs I would love to hear Axl's on Sucker Train Blues, that sort of talking style Scott did I would would suit Axl for a Don't Damn Me type of delivery with his low register

Are there any signs beyond just the fact it is CD's 15th anniversary and GNR fan imaginations can run wild? I don't recall any posts of band members or folks tangentially related to the band really making a mention of plans based on CD's anniversary - though if they are I would love to be wrong because it isn't long until November really

Right, I get that it is healthy to be skeptical but to me it is pretty clear we are getting Perhaps at the very least coming soon

As someone who went through an AFI phase in the mid-2000s in middle and high school I take this personally

I also think that the phrase "big guns" really created some hype and expectations that the tunes Axl would even categorize as such would be hard to live up to No song or album can live up to the hype of a long awaited follow up by hardcore fans. Unless it is "Black Messiah" by D'Angelo of course

I don't mind Myles' voice, I actually personally think he has a good rock voice overall with a good range. My biggest issue with the Conspirator's albums is there usually is only a couple of standout songs and then a bunch of songs that kind of just sound the same to me

A Fortus comment that doesn't include the word "hopefully" is how you know shit just got real

Tons of people ARE praising his performamce though, because contrary to the drowning fish analogy, he actually sounded pretty good at Glastonbury and sounded good for a 61 rocker with a demanding vocal style

Same, the only time I really found myself really into pryo is when Paul McCartney uses it for Live and Let Die, which I know GNR adopted too but I don't miss it when it isn't there for GNR This may sound nitpicky but I always was mildly annoyed when the pyro goes off during songs because I would much rather hear the band and especially the drums crescendo to that epic point rather than hearing a big bang over it all lol

Most people who aren't journalists looking to get clickbaity with their headlines and articles have given them favorable reviews it looks like. Both from many better written and thoughtful articles than the ones you cited as well as many reviews given via posts on social media, Reddit, etc. from folks actually there Many, many people seemingly enjoyed their performance. I am sure some didn't too, but to call those who did the minority seems just a tad silly IMO
