The first thing Izzy could/should do is to release his post-On down the road-albums in lossless quality. 

I accept that he doesn't want to release them as physical records (CD or vinyl) but what I still don't get is why in 2018 there still isn't a chance to download them anywhere as wav or flac files. How can any musician release his albums in shitty mp3 or streaming quality only?! I just don't get it.

yes, if I remember well that Dave was asked but failed to show up multiple times so they weren't interested anymore and got Gilby.

I think Dave not showing up multiple times happened in terms of the Project (VR) after Izzy disappeared, not regarding GNR.

LOL believe it or not I bought it for the 12 lithographs. I’m actually selling the vinyl and the rings 🤣😂

seriously, if you want a sealed copy of Live Like A Suicide on vinyl this is your chance!!

I got the box myself;-)

Just saw on ebay that you sell the lithos as well?!

the vinyls are fake (non-highdef source), why would anyone want to buy them? 

Your opinion.

I'm breaking up some items from the box set and listing the items I'm not keeping on eBay.  If you're interested in anything, let me know you're from MyGNR and I'll work with you on pricing

I expect you to sell the vinyl and keep the rings, tattoos and cleaning towel, right? 😄

CD is missing on Spotify Germany as well. 

Don't Cry alt. lyrics is still there. 

I wonder that the clip is still up. 

If I were GNR, TB or the idiots who declare themselves as the ones who act in behalf of the band and take care of them (you know who you are), THIS particular video is the one which should have been taken down immediately (!!!) to avoid any further damage to the b(r)and Guns n' Roses. But here we go, it's still there. I just don't get it 😄

This is the holy grail to a lot of people?!?! Are you serious?! 

Each his own, but I had to stop this crap after 15 seconds.

oh, of course you don't want "eliminate" anyone!

where did i take that from?

i must be hallucinating!

sorry for that!

thanks to your reply i can see clearly now that all that you ever wanted to do was ask very nicely, in a positive and constructive way, for people that don't make sense to you to shut up and leave this fucking forum!

thank you so much for schooling me and clarifying the subject!

and for being so nice and positive while doing that!

you have no idea how positive and constructive it is to read such positive and constructive words in a Guns n Roses forum!

please never stop!

Its so GNR!

"We wanna dedicate this song to the people that try to hold you back, the people that tell you how to live, people that tell you how to dress, people that tell you how to talk, people that tell you what you can say and what you can’t say," he says. "I personally don’t need that, I don’t need that s--- in my life. Those are the kind of people that have been getting me down. They make me feel like somebody, somebody out there is out to get me!”

Thanks. You made my day 😂

If you are responding again, could you please do me a favor and once again create a screenshot of Axl which demonstrates how furious you are 😄 And please don't forget the corresponding lyrics. 😄

How about "I don't care about you"  

Dude, I love your sense of humor 😄

You should be more positive. 

What a sissy you are! 😄

there is a name for trying to "eliminate" people that are not like you in the name of a "good thing"

as in "Why not limiting yourself to XXX"

as in "why people like you are still being around here"

 

there is also a name for being able to live with people who are the complete opposite of you and accepting their freedom to express their opinions whenever and wherever they fucking want

 

you are just trying to be "positive", huh?

 

My goodness, what the heck is wrong with you?!

I dont want to "eliminate" anybody. I just do wonder why some people spent their lifetime in a forum of a band they cannot stand for years. That makes no sense for me. If it does for those people, I am the last one who cares. 

Jesus ...

Most of my posts are in the non-GN'R boards. That probably tells you why.

 

Mmmh. Why then not limiting yourself to those threads?!  I do not read non GNR threads inhere. All I can say is that you post in GNR related threads very often and it's nothing but negativity. 

I don't care, mate. I just wanted to understand what I still don't do. But anyway, people are different.

I just got this email about a new photo print.

Was this the one you got OP?

EDIT: It's up on the store now too. 

😂 I would have laughed my ass off if this would have been the mail I received. Unfortunately its not. Otherwise I would have ordered the picture within seconds 😂

From the bottom of my heart, I can honestly say I'm not jealous of either. 

But you are a little bit of a hypocrite for buying into one huge money making scheme and then getting offended when they fire a second one at you. 

No, of course you're not. 

Two funny footnotes:

Slash dated 1994 as the end of the UYI tour. 😄 This speaks volumes about how different the knowledge/perfectionism of us fans regarding band facts from one of the band members is. If one of us would have said "1994" inhere, he would have been banned from the board 😄

Another thing I - as a non native speaker - noticed is that Slash only once said "fucking" during the whole 30 minutes lasting interview. Back in the day every second word was "fucking", even on broadcasting interviews 😄 Might have something to do with his role model function as a dad 😄

I just watched all four videos in a row and it was massive fun. Thanks for posting!

What I still don't buy is this "the band/management is not involved in the pricing" argument.  

Of course it is. And it always was, at least since GNR went big and Axl went though the Mick Jagger-school in the late 80s. If someone has total control to everything GNR related its him. 

Do you know/remember one of the main reasons why the UYI albums are split into two separate albums and not being released as a double album? It was the pricing!  Alan Niven convinced Axl Rose that a double album would be too expensive for the casual fan. Instead the fans should be able to buy each album spread over a few weeks and help themselves out with tape trading in the meantime. 

... times change  

Another thing that comes to my mind:

In the 90s GNR offered various sets of high quality Robert John UYI tour pics for a fair amount. I still got about 40 pieces at home and guess I paid 25 DM then, which is about 12$. 

Now you're paying 250$ for one pic.

They will target all of us within the next days because they see in all of us - putting this diplomatically -  big spenders.

Also, disturbingly, there is an implication that ''spending power'' determines ''level of fandom'' in that sentence. This is now how they see fans now: consumer groups to be exploited. More evidence that Guns N' Roses are more a brand than a band. 

This.

This means the price of the one image is one quarter of the whole box set then? Wow...

 

Exactly.
