    Youtube isn't the ONLY way to listen to music today though, especially with Apple Music, Tidal, Spotify, the music listening environment is well diversified now

    SOYL is a non-album track being used as pre-release promotion for the box set, it is doing just fine 

    Hello.
    did not say youtube is the only way, but the most used today.
    SOYL, the song, when it comes to GNR, does not meet expectations, IMO.

    Ahhh....yet again this band has given me the platinum diamond encrusted lap dance only to stand up and walk away when I'm ready to fuck.

    I paid less than $1,000 total for the 4 separate lotto's I won for Pearl Jam's domestic tour this summer via the 10 Club, over 3 different cities, for the best seats in each venue....some of which are going for like $3,000 ea. on the secondary market right now.

    GnR tickles my balls for a fucking week only to offer me a $650 box set of shit I've already been listening to for 30 years.

    Get fucked sideways.

    this is GNR bro.

    Welcome to the jungle...

    :facepalm:

    Adler and Izzy will make money from this. I don't see what difference it makes whether they were involved in designing it. 

    from this point of view you're right.

    what I consider strange and bizarre is that "this" that currently presents itself as GNR is a circus of horrors ... but at the time of "once again" Axl resort to the famous "nostalgia," he does not shy away from "using" adler and izzy ... all very convenient, of course.

    Ah - got you! I see what you mean now. 

    In that case, $179 for four cds is absolutely outrageous. The recent Prince Purple Rain reissue had 4 discs - the album remastered, two discs of b-sides and unreleased rarities, and a live concert DVD. Price? $22. 

    this confirms that everything that surrounds this band is very crazy.
    this price is absurd and has no justification.
    at most I will download some of these versions. the band does not deserve this whole investment.

    This brings up a very interesting question for me. I've never been one to really desire to know movie stars or rock stars. I know them solely by the characters they play and yes. I'm including rock stars in the same group as actors because their private life is just that private. But today, excepting GnR, most are all over social media.  Going live on IG and constantly putting stuff out there on SM.  Does this make them more desirable to fans? It certainly gives them an appearance of accessibility although a false one. maybe because I grew up in the '80's and anti social media it irritates me. 

     

    I also grew up in the 80s ... richest decade that has ever existed culturally speaking ...

    "Social" media are the plague of humanity, and should be banned as soon as possible.

    Of course rock stars or other celebrities don't want to meet their fans. That doesn't mean that they don't want to put on a great show or release a great album that appeals to their fans. But I have to think forced meet and greets are the worst for them. I thought most VIP packages didn't guarantee meeting any of the band. So it's really up to the individual members whether they partake in the VIP experience. Like others have said, they can be great friendly people but this is true when the basis of the meet isn't being their fan. 

    idolizing someone is wrong.
    the correct thing is to treat the artists according to what they are: normal people, full of defects and qualities, like all of us.

    If that’s the case, then it’s the musicians who are doing it wrong. Admirers are part and parcel of being a public figure.

    I’m a business owner and go out of my way to be friendly with everyone. To not care about one’s reputation is to not care about one’s income.

    Every person I know who has met Dave Grohl confirms that he is the nicest guy on the planet. And if Dave Grohl has the time and the energy, so does everyone else. 

    if there is one person I would not want to meet is Dave Grohl. Boring dude.
    For him to be cool, Kurt Cobain is missing from his side.
