With the current state of the music industry, there isn't much financial incentive to release new music but not tour.  That was an option in the 80s and 90s but not now.  

Ozzy Osbournes doing it fine.

Didn't come up in search but sorry if it has been asked. I tried to order the vinyl, ball and hardskool vinyl but says it isn't available for my address in Australia. The locked and loaded box sure did when I got it expensively at pre-order 

I am in Australia and got the same error. But it works if you remove the hardskool vinyl. Maybe they are out of stock of hardskool vinyl.

So cringeworthy

I would like to hear more things like this:

 

2:16 WOW!

If Buckethead wrote more songs, they should at least keep 1 or 2.

 

Not a fan TBH

He can adapt it fine enough if he wanted...it's hardly Perfect Crime! The high note, fair enough BUT does Axl hold the Don't Cry studio note for 20 seconds? Has he ever? 

His adapting would be falsetto/mickey the f outta it.

I chose IRS but i dont think Axl has it in him to sing it.

I don't think it would be so easy to get a fill in for Frank in such short notice with the set they're playing. It's not the same as getting Fred Coury to fill in for Steven when they were playing for about an hour and had only one album. Even if they could instantly fly Brain in, they're currently playing a bunch of songs that Brain has never played.

But it's probably something similar to what happened last year and Axl needs some rest and treatment for a few days.

Setlist could change to fill Brains repertoire or he could change up songs a little. 

It wouldnt be too hard for a professional to dissect Franks drums on songs after a few listens.

I think if Frank, Richard, Dizzy or Melissa were sick and couldn't perform they'd have somebody fill in and just not play songs that the fill in was not capable of doing.  A couple of years ago Aerosmith had Joey Kramer's drum tech fill in after his car accident (or whatever kind of accident it was).

Yep this and I would even say Duff is replaceable for a night. Remember when Steven had broke his hand and the drummer from Cinderella stepped in. Or with Metallica lars was sick so they had Dave Lombardo play for a show.

The only two that arent replacable are Axl and Slash. Anyone else they could use a fill in.

The reunion was limited to a couple of shows. Which means that Axl would have continued NuGN'R afterwards. However, plans changed and they booked another tour (money talks).

Who would have been nugnr though.

Bumble left ashba left tommy left.....

It may have been retirement for Axl but yea plans changed

If Duff and Slash are busy with their solo projects in 2024, perhaps Axl and/or TB can convince Buckethead and Robin Finck to step in in the meantime?

They will be back to performing in bars and small arenas then.

What indicates a rerelease other than that BFF version from the locker leaks and this band's tendency to rerecord and rerelease music?

The 1999 official release is fine. The one guy on here put the guitar only version on YouTube and it's really great!

It did appear on some tour setlists as a alt song from what I remember. But yeah that does not mean its been re-recorded or rearranged.

10 minutes ago, Sweersa said:

I think it would be best released as a bonus, or "hidden" (unlisted) final track on an album or an EP.

I forgot another name: "Oh My Buckethead"

I believe some old hoarder claimed to have it, and called it that. 

You do know if they did re-release it they will be putting slash/duff on it.

For a unheard bucket/cd era version of it then its best fit on a CD anniversary release as a bonus track.

Unlike Silkworms, which was released as Absurd, Oh My God has actually been released officially of course, and not just played live as Silkworms was. So, OMG is in a somewhat unique position. 

 

Oh my god has been performed live. Rock in Rio 3 comes to mind.

I also dont want it to be re-released. I want a unheard song or a new song not something thats been released officially already and remade.

Axl was singing in 2009 like he was trying to get out some serious anger. Or maybe he was just angry at having to tour Asia to pay Irving Azoff. Or maybe someone got his order wrong in a restaurant. 

Reminded me of 92 Axl

Where is the full on rasp coming from all of a sudden like in the last chorus here? Sounds great. It’s like he gets fired up to sing new stuff. Which means he should release more new stuff 😂

The rasp wants to come out. His purposely holding it back.

I think his modern tone, at least live, is awful.

Listen to how he does the intro to Paradise City, with zero chorus or reverb whatsoever. Sounds terrible.

 

Also, his tone is so lacking in sustain that he often has to re-pluck a note because it's died out half-way through. Never mind that clean tone exposes the smallest mistakes and as a result he sounds sloppier today than when he was drinking a half gallon of vodka a day.

To me, his peak tone was the UYI tour. Even better than the album. His solo sections, from '92-'93 especially, were just so f*ckin dirty.

I mean, dear god...

 

I think after playing the same songs for 30+ years he goes on autopilot.

Also add the drink/drugs probably kept slash more fluid and inspired back then.

Wow wtf is wrong with the front rows?? Are they asleep or what?? These guys couldnt handle a South American or European crowd haha.

It looks to me alot of the front rows in this US run are people in their late 40s 50s and beyond.

I feel south america, europe and asia have alot more younger, more energetic crowds.

Aside from the "you're all alone now" lines, I have no idea why he does it. His falsetto, the way it currently sounds, makes him sound weak and out of breath af.

This guy does a great job at breaking down Axls voice and use of falsetto from 5min25. 

His under assumption either his voice has lost its power or he uses it if his sick. But yeah I agree it just doesnt sound good

I get where you're coming from, but I want the songs to sound like how they did when the players who originally created them did so.

And theres little to no chance of that ever happening. Slash with Axl is the drawcard for most people. Would say 95 percent of people. They want to hear Slash with Axl.

Keep praying for that CD anniversary album with bonus tracks. Thats the only way you will hear any of the original CD era recorded songs officially. 

Havent we got enough Axl interview threads
