... and pro-shot bootlegs, it's all about the bootlegs. 

Such a huge treasure trove of of proshot stuff wasting away in the vaults. I hope it all releases one day. At least a really bad ass blu-ray set of their best shows, with lots of backstage extras, etc. 

Intro was neat, but the rest of the song was very average.

Yet the worst gun massacre I can recall occurred in little liberal Norway of all places, 77 people, Breivik. The United Kingdom isn't immune either, Hungerford 1987, Monkseaton '89 (near me), Dunblane '96 which led to changes to the law concerning handguns, but then we had Cumbria 2010. You have to be rather whiter than white to have the audacity to criticise another country, and when London knife crime has quadrupled recently under her lefty mayor Sadiq Khan I don't see how anyone British can really hector Americans upon this complicated subject.

This is honestly hilarious. You're coming up with 4 mass shootings in UK over the past 30 years, when the US had 3 mass shootings in the span of less than 12 hours. 

Trying to equate Norway's single notable mass shooting that occurred 8 years ago versus America's literal DOZENS every year.

And you pulled that "quadrupled" knife crime stat right out of your ass. It has gone up significantly, but no where near four times. The problem is nationwide, not unique to London or its mayor.

Stats speak for themselves.
 

America's homicide rate: 6.2

UK: 1.2

Norway's homicide rate: 0.5

Bit hypocritical for someone British given the state of knife crime here, 43,500 offences in the past year, last year in London 132 homicides.

I don't think so. London's homicide rate is 1.6 per 100,000, UK as a whole is 1.2.

US is at 6.2 and D.C. is at a whopping 18.5.

Gun control is working very well for them. They do need to get a grip on knife crimes, but, they are still a fraction of what we get here. I can only imagine the death toll in London if they had as easy access to firearms as Americans do.

Huge Slash fan, kinda ashamed I haven't listened to this album yet. Life's been busy. Started with Driving Rain, but couldn't finish it. Playing Lost Inside the Girl and this is definitely much more my thing. 

 The one you loved is gone is great too, Slash's ballads are always on point. One thing I love about Slash's albums is the production quality. They sound absolutely incredible. 

I respect Slash's word more than Axl's, but I still wont believe it until I see it. We've heard this claim a dozen times already.

The best part of this article:

 

I want nothing more than this. Sooo many live shows in pristine quality just waiting to be released. I hope Slash can convince Axl to go along with it. 

Even after the reunion, I knew there wasn't going to be any new music. Axl is Axl and he'll never change. Slash will continue doing his side projects to release new music. Honestly, I'm not sure I want the current lineup making music in GNR's name anyway. Its disappointing and just plain sad we haven't gotten Izzy after all this time. I realize he probably doesn't want to do the full time tour thing, but it doesn't even appear like they are on good terms with him. No guest appearances or anything. I could deal with him not being a regular touring member and just do some guest appearances here or there if he still helped write music and played on future albums, but we'll never get that either.

As if GN'R couldn't get more embarrassing, they go and post this on their social media:

 

I dont get it. Is wishing their fans a happy thanksgiving not "cool" or something?

Just FYI, any musician that sends cease and desist notices to any politician is just grandstanding to show that they don't agree with that politician or to show that they don't want to be seen as political. Any politician can play any song at a political rally and there is nothing the copyright owner can do about it legally.

Normally, I would kinda agree. But with Trump, I would feel obligated to distance myself from that pile of filth as far and as fast I could.

New album isnt happening. Even if they do, they'll be 60+ by the time they get around to making it.

I'd argue '91.

Blasphemy. The best version is in '93.
 

Sorry, I missed most of this discussion and I'm a bit lost. What's the demo tape thats on the Locked and Loaded box set and not the Super Deluxe Set? Going by the descriptions, they include the exact same music, just one in Vinyl, the other in a Bluray disc, correct?

I've been a Slash-a-holic since I started playing guitar 24 years ago.

He is a more advanced player now - technically speaking. He likes to shred more - this also might be a result of the songs being played much faster - it does take away some of that breathing which usually allows for more melodic phrases. 

I used to admire his ability to make bad notes sound so cool and metal. Long steel bends off-pitch that end up sounding like sound effects rather than notes. Like in It's So Easy Tokyo 92 - starting here almost at the end... albeit he is running, but it fits in so good... and then there's the similar style notes starting the outro at 3:22. I think he is just feeding off his studio solos, enabling him to play around with it live.

TIL would have been way better if he had been the original guitarist on it and did a Don't Cry/Nov. Rain type of thing. The chord progression in TIL fosters repetitiveness in a solo, so my guess is, if Slash, Axl, Izzy had wrote it together the chord progression would have a different feel behind the solo, and Slash would have come up with something more suitable. There was one night in 2016 where be basically did a perfect solo - forget what show.

He still does some cool things, like the sustained bits in Estranged - he bends down to the sustained note instead of sliding... kinda sounds cool. Slash's best moments to me, are the ones where he is going outside of a scale to hit some insane bends, he is using melody, stops and sustains, to create unique phrasing end of Estranged solo (like at 6:36 in the video), OR sweet phrasings like the outro extended solo in Rocket Queen behind "don't ever leave me...."

Also Fortus needs to stop copying what he's doing an octave lower though - it's a bit annoying, at least to me.

 

 His tone during that era was just unreal

Find me a Mr Brownstone from anytime of this tour that sounds half as decent as this one. Same notes, but god damn, that fuckin tone is amazing. I also prefer how he use to hold that last bend for a while instead of releasing it like he does so quickly now adays. Then check out the little outro bit he does at the end of the song, such a nice touch. I could go on for days about which bits and pieces of particular songs they did better in the UYI days, but that's mostly personal preference. 
 

And one of my favorite bits on that show from Slash is the third solo in Civil War, sounds so amazing
 

Compared to NITL Tour, doesn't even begin to compare.
 

Why would he have to pay his kids 1.8 percent of his income for the next 18 years? I'm sure that's the part he's least worried about, but still...She got the house, the cars, and a huge chunk of his money. She made out pretty well, robbed his ass blind

What a lame boxset for 1000. Even the 180 dollar set leaves much to be desired for the price. It would be worth that price if it were Vinyl and not only CD. I don't care to collect physical media unless its vinyl. I have no use for CDs and the additional tracks arent on the vinyl remaster either. Very lame.

$180 + $30 vinyl version, that big box set is beyond ridiculous. what a waste

People actually believe this is a new recording? I mean, listen to the vocals, clearly not 2018 Axl, no matter how much we wish he sounded like this still.

Can we get the OP updated with some information so I dont have to dig through 85 pages to figure out what this is?

Snakepit and SMKC songs, with a few VR and GNR songs on top

Lineup probably stays the same. Slash is going to do his solo thing and Axl with AC/DC. Just because they're taking a break doesnt mean they are breaking up again, regardless of what happened in the past. The money is too good to pass up.

holy shit. slashs solo album came out 8 fucking years ago. EIGHT. what the fuck

Right? And 4 years since his last album with THe Conspirators. Time flys, slow the fuck down already!!

Good. At least with Slash, we will get new music. Axl just simply doesn't care anymore and Slash/Duff shouldn't waste their remaining good years with only GNR. I hope to see The Conspirators out touring again, as I never got to see them live.

I hope it does happen. We arent getting new music with Slash in GNR, so, I'd rather him go back to Myles and at least get new music that way.
