To me it's a mixture. Some parts sounds like 80 Axl and some like current Axl. The very first lines sounds a lot like current Axl. Specially the way he sings "Took my chanches carelessly". Anyway is a great vocal delivery

This is still a total lie though. The 4 cd's contain 12+12+12+15 = 51 tracks. Not 73. And out of those 51 only 27 are unreleased. 

To get to that number you have to count the Bluray too. I kinda explained in this post:

Embarassing lyrics. But after all, sounds great, and again, after all, it is a new song, even if it was played at the 80s or was a leaked demo. If they release Silkworms tomorrow, I would say it's a new song too.

But the important thing of Shadow of Your love, is that, this is the first song released in 10 years. I still do think this is a test, they want to know if this song works as a single, to test if the world would buy new music or not. I'm very happy, this is the first step for REAL new music.

Yeah, this is what I think too. Hope the song does great!

It will interesting to see how this songs does on the radio, Youtube, etc.

It's a good rocker song and for the general public it is new. So maybe it will show the label and the band that there's interest on new material. That would be great.

Also I would like it to see it being played in Europe

I really like this version, great production. The song is good, not great but I like it

49 unreleased tracks... well to get to that number you got to count the BluRay that just includes duplicates. Nice marketing.

The only true unrelesased tracks are these:

1. Welcome To The Jungle (1986 Sound City Session)
2. Nightrain (1986 Sound City Session)
3. Out Ta Get Me (1986 Sound City Session)
4. Paradise City (1986 Sound City Session)
5. My Michelle (1986 Sound City Session)
6. Think About You (1986 Sound City Session)
7. You’re Crazy (1986 Sound City Session)
8. Anything Goes (1986 Sound City Session)
9. Rocket Queen (1986 Sound City Session)
10. Shadow Of Your Love (1986 Sound City Session)
11. Heartbreak Hotel (1986 Sound City Session)
12. Jumpin’ Jack Flash (1986 Sound City Session)

1. Shadow Of Your Love
2. Move To The City (1986 Sound City Session)
3. Ain’t Goin’ Down No More (Instrumental Version – 1986 Sound City Session)
4. The Plague (1986 Sound City Session)
5. Nice Boys (1986 Sound City Session)
6. Back Off Bitch (1986 Sound City Session)
7. Reckless Life (1986 Sound City Session)
8. Mama Kin (1986 Sound City Session)
9. New Work Tune (1986 Sound City Session)
10. November Rain (Piano Version – 1986 Sound City Session))
11. Move To The City (Acoustic Version – 1986 Sound City Session)
12. You’re Crazy (Acoustic Version – 1986 Sound City Session)
13. November Rain (Acoustic Version – 1986 Sound City Session)
14. Jumpin’ Jack Flash (Acoustic Version – 1986 Sound City Session)
15. Move To The City (1988 Acoustic Version)

So that's 27 truly unreleased tracks. And if you want to count tracks that weren't demos of songs to be included in future albums:

The Plague

New Work Tune

Jumpin' Jack Flash (acoustic)

Jumpin' Jack Flash (electric)

Shadow of your Love

Shadow of your Love (1986 Sound City Session)

Heartbreak Hotel.

Ain't Goin' Down No More (instrumental)

So... 8 "rare tracks", 2 being unheard before.

That's not bad if you are trully interested on AFD demos and some UYI ones, but I really prefer to hear the final versions. So no purchase for me this time.

I really like that single version of Shadow of Your Love though

Any of you know how often do bands include a NEW song or two in a release like this? I really don't follow this kind of releases so that's why I'm asking.

By new song I mean something unheard for us (not like Shadow of Your Love, Crash Diet, etc)

that would be utterly disgusting and pathetic for everyone involved

i dont believe axl, slash, duff, ricky and franky would go that low

that would be like 18 times worse than live era

and like 180 times worse than axl singing coma in rock in rio 2017

I get that it would be bad Frank replacing Steven's parts and the same goes to Fortus.

But what if let's say that Axl, Slash and Duff felt like re-recordind they own parts? I mean, those songs were demos and weren't released because those were not complete/good enough at the time. So if they feel like re-recording some things would make the songs better I say go for it.

Man that IS current Axl.

Listen to this:

And then compare. It's sounds like today-Axl in studio

Axl voice really sounds re-recorded, and the guitar as well. Would love it if all the demos are re-recorded. And please include one or two unheard songs.

I would love it if we get anything new from this. If it is just a remastered AFD I dont care that much. I mean, we love the songs and everything but heard them like a million times. 

I don't see an AFD 5 reunion happening. And the label wouldn't be involved on it anyways, so it must be some kind of release

I'm really late here but I enjoyed TLJ. I think it was way better than TFA.

TFA felt like a bad remake because everything that happened in the film happened before. Like they even used the same technique to destroy a bigger death star (how original). Really boring and uncreative.

TLJ tried to do things different and just that fact has more value to me than the TFA movie. And I liked the story. Hard to see Luke go but it had to happen someday.

Does that change anything? For someone to rehearse a new band (circa 1999) by re-recording an old album from 1987, made with a former band, suggests you are very much stuck in the past.

What is the difference in the following?

Rose hires cockrockers 

Adler hires cockrockers 

Rose peddles his wares with retro (1987) artwork,

Adler peddles his wares with retro (1987) artwork,

Again, what is the difference?

Well, let's start saying that I'm not the biggest fan of Appetite for Democracy, but there are several differences.

For one, Axl was not kicked ouf of the band on the 90's for being a drug addict and not being able to keep his shit togheter. Adler did.

So when Adler plays the nostalgia card it says something like this:

"Hey remember that band that kicked me out years ago? Well I still think I should be a part of it so I'm gonna be playing the AFD album like is 1987 all over again"

Nostalgia when you're not in the band (and especially when you were kicked out) is really lame.

Thing is Adler has been playing the same "they kicked me out, I should be there" card for more than 20 years now. It really gets old.  Get over it man, they found you unreliable for a big tour.

He is not really doing anything different from what Rose did in the 00s to be honest. Like Rose, Adler has formed a cover band to play Appetite for Destruction - and that he believes his presence playing these songs is a sort of legitimising presence. Like Rose he is badmouthing ex-Guns N' Roses members. Like Rose he is heavily weighed down by the past.

But Rose only played on Guns N' Roses so no cover band...

Should I believe my tickets that read "Guns N' Roses" or DieselDaisy who says "cover band" on a forum?

Yeah but KISS weren't on tour with Paul and Gene together recently. Or were they?

Well i couldn't help but think of this Chapelle skit when "Marys Danish" gave their opinion of the song.

 

A Youtube video of a Youtube video?

This the 'Inception' of Youtube videos. Where are you Di Caprio?

Picking one song from one show doesnt prove a thing. He is consistently bad on many songs. SCOM, YCBM, PC, NR, Estranged, Dont Cry, Civil War, Yesterdays, Coma, etc... Pretty much any UYI song. If he isn't screaming at the top of his lungs or using his lower voice, it sounds pure Mickey. The excuses are getting silly. He's just bored? Really? That's why he sounds like mickey mouse, 'cause hes bored?  

You have the whole 2016 USA tour where he sounded great. Then you have the AC/DC run. He still got it for sure. Yeah some songs sounds weaker (like SCOM, and YCBM) , but you can pick several examples of 2016 where songs like NR, Dont Cry, Civil War and even Coma sounded very good.

What I'm trying to say is as the tour progressed he started to sound worse on several songs. I think that is because he is not as excited as in the beggining, the novelty is off. Is just the same songs night after night, the autopilot is on. Autopilot = Mickey.

I have to be perfectly honest with myself, I really prefer this band here to the current iteration of GNR. Axl can't sing anymore and Slash plays like he doesn't care. 3 Years ago when that was recorded, I was begging for a Guns N' Roses reunion. I never thought I would be begging to go back lol. Hope to see Slash go back with Myles because that's probably the best he is going to do at the point in his career, money aside obviously. Slash has built a pretty great catalogue of songs over the years, all he needs is a singer that can do those songs justice. Myles has proven he can do it. I love Axl as much as anyone, but he doesn't have it anymore. I hate that, but its the sad, sad truth. Bring on the SMKC reunion!

Just seriously tell me that this Axl doesn't have it anymore:

I think he is just bored as fuck of this tour. It is taking too long to end.

Live and Let Die was great as usual

Slash's guitar went from missing at the start of the solo to being way  too loud. Nice job mixer, yeah. 

It was a good perfomance of DTJ ruined by the broadcast

Man this CD is great

There was a strange echo on some part of Brownstone. Hope the mix gets better as the show moves on

I think the highlights of the night so far were CD, Better and ISE/Brownstone

Duff is all Mickey, he needs a rest.
