The thing about Josh claiming to creat the music on CD song is pretty recent, right? I always had in mind this was a Tommy song.

It's not just a claim...Check the credits on the track. It is credited to Josh Freese and Axl.

As I said in my post earlier, shows are good for sure, but I'd just like to hear him do some Snakepit stuff.

I've only heard one Snakepit track live. Gilby played Monkey Chow both times I saw him live (I believe he wrote the track for Snakepit) and it was great to hear it both times (2006 and 2012).

They've put out a couple others since then.

 

 

Yeah I think Pirate Love was a B-Side to both NOLA and Like A Ghost.

But NOLA is definitely my fave track of the three.

I had their older albums on Vinyl and Power And The Glory Hole on CD, but recently I got their older stuff in a CD box set too.

Their 2009 live album is good too. 😎

Thought so. I have seen him play with them a couple of times. Once just a few weeks ago on the MORC cruise.  He is pretty solid.. Was just checking her wiki page and doesn't look like he plays on the record? Is that accurate?

Faster Pussycat are excellent. Saw them in 2017. I wish they'd put out another album. I liked their single NOLA from a couple of years back too. 🤘😎

Really enjoyed the show I went to (Newcastle). Last time I saw Slash solo was Download Festival 2010. But yeah, great show.

I wish I'd gotten to hear him do a Snakepit song though. It's my favourite work of his outside GN'R.

Okay so Snakepit (both albums) are my favourite work from Slash outside of his GN'R output.

That being said some of the songs on Chinese Democracy are amongst my absolute favourite from GN'R as a whole.

So for me I wouldn't rank them above GN'R material - but after GN'R stuff they do rank very highly for me.

Tbh I'd love to see a Snakepite reunion. That would be so high on my 'to see' list.

Ohh yeah I knew Tracii had left previously too. That's kinda what I was saying.

I have heard material from his version and from Phil & Steve's version.

I like it all really. That's the good thing - more music for the listeners. 😄

Ohh and Tales From The Strip has some good tracks on. 😄

I saw Tracii and Phil's version of L.A. Guns a few years ago. Was a great show (was my first time seeing L.A. Guns live in any form).

Riley's L.A. Guns could still continue - Kelly Nickels was a classic era member anyway.

The situation is a bit weird because the version of the band with Steve Riley was the one Phil Lewis was in. But he left that L.A. Guns to make another L.A. Guns with Tracii.

Previously Tracii had his own version that was around at the same time as the one with Phil and Steve in - and both released albums back then too - but Tracii stopped his version for a while until he and Phil made a version together.

Well folks, finally got my “Perhaps” vinyl today… luckily, no pixelation issues with the artwork, and both songs sound infinitely better on vinyl… including the now notorious “General.” 

Still wondering what the original batch sounded like for them to can it, especially if “Monsters” was in there… 

Wait, so there's variations in cover quality?

Can you share a picture of the covers on your copy?

There was a green shirt with an Axl skull that did say Welcome To The Jingle. Was a good few years back now though. Looked pretty cool. Was the first Xmas themed one I think.

Ssen GN'R 6 Times:

Donington Download Festival 2006

Newcastle 2006

London 2010

Newcastle 2012

London 2016

Glasgow 2023

Yeah, it only came in a package with the Blu Ray or DVD.

The best version of which was a US set which included the CDs in their own separate card case/digipack and also had a shirt in it.

Highly recommend that set. 😄

They need to bin that Vegas shite from existence already.

Nah, it's a great show.

The live CD Album that came with some editions is excellent too.

Hey, I’ve given up looking for this Finck tee haha. Could you do me a gigantic favor when you have time? Since it’s just white on black I’m gonna custom print it at the screen printing shop I work at. Would you give me the measurements of the front and back logos sometime?

Yeah, no problem. I'll take a look when I get a chance and I will let you know. 👍

It was officially released in terms of if being available on official streaming sites (Amazon Prime, if memory serves or possibly Netflix). 

Never had an official physical release though. 

 

The usually way now seems to be containing a DVD/Blu-Ray as part of a package containing the audio of the concert. I'd certainly buy that. 

 

You're right. I purchased it digitally from Amazon.

Absolutely no chance of the last two, ever 

Yeah I know, you're probably right dude. Especially Sympathy, given what it symbolises to certain folk. But...it's such a good cover. 😄

In terms of songs I'd most like to see GN'R play live that I haven't seen so far - probably:

Locomotive

TWAT

Prostitute

Sympathy For The Devil

Oh My God

In no particular order, but overall the first 3 mentioned I would like to see especially so, I think.

Ashba would still be in the band, he left only when it was clear that Slash was returning to the band.

Maybe they would go back to 2 guitarists, Ashba and Fortus, and a new bassist. Imagine that. 

I don't think that is actually true.

Ashba left because Sixx A.M. became active again and it looked like Nikki Sixx was gonna put big focus on Sixx A.M. at the time. Then not long after, Nikki disbanded Sixx A.M. So I think when later on he made contradictory statements about leaving because he knew Slash was coming back, I strongly believe he was saving face somewhat really. Because his original plan/reason for leaving didn't really pan out.

For the midnight release, will it just be streaming or will it be purchaseable from digital storefronts?

No chance you’d part with that Finck shirt for a decent pay day?

Unfortunately not. Sorry.

It is amongst my faves.

I have the Finck adn Bucket shirts and I also have the UK flag shirt. Never got to see them in 2002, but I love those 3 shirts.

I'd love to see Bucket play live.

Finck was awesome sith GN'R in 2006 when I saw them. 😎
