Thank you. 👍 Do any of the shirts have the tour dates (besides the skull with emojis)?

Are there any photos of the tour merch?  Anything cool that is not the album cover, which couldn’t look any worse.

Her Instagram is incredible. Great photos. Axl looks like himself/good here. 

Thanks for sharing

Duff doesn't care about money apparently...it's all about the music for him

No fucks given? 🤔

Rio 1991 second night is absolutely insane and Slash holds the perfect note on the very climax of the solo/song

i have listened to countless other versions of DTJ and slash never plays the same solo twice

so, yeah, of course slash never ever hit that same note like that again

one for the ages, with additional drama courtesy of axl talking during the instrumental part about "government" and "mercenaries" and "death squads"

and of course izzy's guitar and voice at the right volume and very listenable in the mix

unbelievable stuff

this 3-angle video with great quality just makes it better

Thank you for that.  This video is legendary stuff. 

For me, one of the best performances is Apollo 2017.  Slash’s playing is on another level and Axl sounded fantastic.

I would be totally ok with a mixture of everything. Axl's best things, Slash's new ideas, some of the 90s stuff.

Actually I would be ok with new music at all but unfortunately I don't think we'll get some anytime soon

Seriously, I would take any new music, especially with Axl’s vocal in 2008 Chinese Democracy quality.  

A lot of opinions on here. I too don’t love the idea of Bucket and Robin’s solos getting deleted, but it’s a price I am sure we’d all pay to get ANY new Guns album, especially with Slash and Duff 

I’ll believe it when i see it  

glad Slash is communicating with the press and, indirectly, fans! The virtual media black out for 28 months was bizarre.

Thats the weird thing about it, because not every single channel with gnr stuff on it is removed. There are still plenty of gnr clips to be found. Another reason to believe the usual suspects are behind it removing mostly mygnr visitors and links being posted on here

It’s absolutely crushing your YouTube page is down. Whatever was on your page, Gn’R management should help get it reinstated!  

That page did a lot with regard to immortalizing this band.

Tbh watching the old 2002 clips, i miss all the rants and shit

 

He’s so out of breath in this recording. That entire tour Axl felt like he was gasping for air, but he did have some epic screams. 

Also loved the rants and his general crowd engagement.  NITL-Axl feels like a hostage in some way.  Was there even 1 rant on this 2016/2018 tour?

Strange. Instances such as this is why I haven’t transitioned to streaming services for music consumption. I’ll stick with old school digital downloads and, to a lesser extent, CDs 👍

Axl needs to get his voice in shape before it will be exciting to see them again. NITL has been fantastic even with lackluster vocals. But I don’t think this current format is sustainable (although I’d pay to see it again, but we aren’t the mass market).

The willingness to pay to see the same show and a poorly conditioned Axl has to go down. Doubt they could or would do stadiums in the US again 

Ideal situation is new music + a 2010 Axl. I’d also settle for one or the other. Something. Anything! 

Pretty bad ass song and love the energy in the video. 

Did they ever play this live or is this just other songs made to sync with this song?

I remember stories of the 2002 tour selling poorly. A few sold out shows (MSG). Cleveland was good that year. 

For the post 2008 tours, I can’t help but think those tours were impacted (i) by the global recession and (ii) DJ (line up changes were a joke and he was the low point imo).

I remember buying CD in November 2008 at an HMV and the financial economy was collapsing at the same time. That was the last physical album I have purchased.

For sitting on an album that was in the can for a few years, the timing of this release couldn’t have been worse

it's possible, you need a cassette player and a 3.5 audio cable to plug from the player to the computer

Hopefully someone on this forum is generous enough to do that! 🙏

Is there anyway to get the tracks on the cassette? Has anyone found a way to convert them from cassette to online?  Would love have those, but can’t pay $1000 for them. 

I’d drop real money for this box set if they loaded this it with music instead of trinkets. Love these 3 songs from Marquee.

I cant understand why they didnt release a live show... just cant

It’s a real shame.  Whole Lotta Rosie is just incredible. I now have a much better appreciation for why Axl was dragging this song out for all these years post Chinese.

I am absolutely kicking myself for not seeing him with Ac/Dc 

These Live at the Marquee tracks are great. Fuck, why didn’t put this full show in this box set? 

Knockin on Heavens Door sounds better than 88 Ritz. Damn

Ok this is weird but I'm happy there's finally a good quality of Rocket Queen Sound City Session because now I can blast Rocket Queen on speaker without skipping that particular part. No hurting that I also prefer the alternate bridge instead the finish product

Well said. This Sound City Rocket Queen is freaking fantastic!

Amazing what these guys did in such a short amount of time.  Not even a full decade

Just downloaded from Amazon and on my iPhone for $29 or so.  

We all have an issue with the $1000 monstrosity but I think the digital download is a fantastic deal!

i never found an old school bootleg of these demos and have had poor quality downloads of only a handful of songs from the Napster and Limewire days of the early and mid 2000s. 

I am excited! Not quite like the tease of hearing The General, but this certainly better than nothing 

Enjoy!

The video seems to align with what Goldstein wrotte to Axl on that letter, a video completely made with stock footage where they wouldnt spend a penny, so I assume it is legit. 

Got it. The video is meaningfully better than all of the backing videos for NITL. 

I always thought the 2002 concert backing videos were pretty good. NITL is a bit cheesy

Im not sure if their is a better version floating around but the version i just heard on soundclod with all the talking n bs is un lisenable. U guys are better fans then i am to have the patience to lisen more then once. 

Yes, talking is brutal. It makes me question the authenticity a bit. Why do we all know this cellphone recording is real?  The “studio clip” with the ticking sounds actually similar to the cellphone recording so I am surprised the studio version is “confirmed” fake 

I hope the Prostitue video is fake.  It’s a poor man’s Gorillaz video. Given how bad the Better video was, perhaps it’s the only thing that’s legit! 🤔

Is the guitar solo at 31 or 32 seconds Finck?  I’d like to think so. 

He was the f-ing man. 2006 Guns should have been sooo successful.  What a shame to music history we lost that 

anyway, love that guitar. Wish I could hear Axl more

I thought the Big 3 are sharing 1 mil a show? 

Axl gets 500k, 300k for Slash and 200k for Duff. 

You probably know more than me. I basing my back of the envelope math on the first article of this thread. Maybe $350k per month is a post-tax number. That would make slightly more sense. Plus, the royalties they make on sales and publishing and merchandise. Those income streams will run in perpetuity for the rest of their lives. Not a bad living  

I am surprised he only makes ~$350,000 a month, or $4.2 million a year. Post taxes he’s probably around $2.5 million. After she gets her share (which may be tax deductible although I think that changed in the new Trump tax plan) and pays child support, maybe he has $1.2 million to $1.5 million a year left.  

He wont starve but not what I’d expect for one of the biggest guitar icons in history. He must have other income streams
