all you proved was to be a guy who likes to pour money into a sewer. 

oh, I meant... spending money for plastic fake junk  

Well, I don't see it that way. But I got what you mean. 

Cool article. I am a big fan of Sleaford Mods and I indeed did not expect Jason Williamson being a GNR fan, especially such a big one     .

But I am not sure about his interpretation of Nightrain. It doesn't match to the song. 

Nice one. Its new to me, too. 

I just had a quick listen in traffic. Are there any other lyrics cleaned up beside the "fuck/back off" thing?

sure, thats a system a 12 yr old kid would buy, because he doesnt know any better, and theres very LITTLE quality to it as well. If you think the 'THX' means anything, well it does if you have the room treatments etc, but if not, its pretty much useless. I can't see a system like this generating very good highs at all (cymbals), or detailed mids. Also I would imagine the bass would be quite muddy and unclear and non-precise. Sure it'll put out 'sound' but of any real quality level, well...Logitech isnt known for their 'quality' as per se. 

clear enough for you?

You did notice that @action bought this system just to be able to listen to the 5.1-AFD -version only?! Of course for this purpose you would have bought a massive thousand dollar sound system  Yeah, right 🙄

I've heard there's a lot of activity below the surface.  I don't expect Guns to be done anytime soon, even if there's periods where the public doesn't seem much happening.  

I have this gut feeling, too. 

Do remember that they were able to keep this whole reunion thing top secret til the day the Troubadour show was announced ... NO ONE saw this coming. And this happened in 2016, this means in times when EVERY rumor gets spread over the net within seconds. 

Maybe we will wake up pretty soon and there it is: the new album 

@RussTCB I just wanna say "Thank you" for speaking from my heart in nearly every single aspect you said! 

@Gambit83 Awesome topic and episode. Thank you, too. 

I am always happy about new pro shot footage and I do love this song (even though Fear's original is way better) but I think the video in no way matches the vibe of the song. In fact it seems fully out of sync, this goes especially for the parts of Axl dancing or running around.

That's what the band might have thought, that the material is not good enough for the album. But there's always the same chance you're gonna like a song or not whether it was on an album or a b side or unreleased. From my experience with MANY bands I find the bonus tracks to be largely satisfying (especially a band like Oasis who are famous for their B-Sides) and more than once I thought the best track on the album was just a bonus track. Bon Jovi are a band who said they don't even sort what makes the record by quality but what fits the album as a whole, and I think many bands go by that philosophy, GNR went with it too deciding on SCOM over NR or DC. It's mindboggling how wrong bands/labels can be sometimes deciding which songs make a record. And for stuff like demos, rough mixes etc. It's just interesting to hear early versions of songs. Not something I'd regularly listen to but cool to hear nontheless.

This!

And in terms of UYI: 

Alone the widley spread rough extended version of 14 years is billion times better than the actual album version. Guess what great unpolished versions of other songs there might be. 

I would kill for a rough studio version of YCBM! 

Hi there,

Since I had no proper place to hang those lithos I was not really into them to date, even if some of them look nothing but awesome.  Now that I have moved, I would love to have the LA 2016 Pool Skater because I have been a skateboarder and GNR fan for about 30 years each. 

http://lithorati.com/na2016/2016-08-18 Los Angeles.html

How rare is this one and what is it's average price? Do you think  there is any chance I might get one  at "short notice" or is it impossible to get like London, Paris etc? 

If one of you has one to offer, I of course would very much appreciate an pm :-) 

Thanks very much for your help! 

By the way: I was at London first night but to much into party mood to get the litho. I kick my ass today 😄

Thanks. 

Until this thread happened I always thought I have got some reasonable knowledge about GNR demos but some of you guys proofed me wrong 😄

This is one awesome thread. Thanks to your incredible table, @zombux! Nothing but incredible!

And thanks to all other Sherlock Holmes guys who put their effort and knowledge into the table's development. The whole thread reminds me of good old times browsing through gnrsource.com which I absolutely loved.

This being said my question is, if there is really no (uncirculated) demo of YCBM? I mean its a song which was around since the appetite days.

definitely Prague 1992  

Cool, I wasnt aware to date that there is a pro shot  😃

I've seen once that Axl spoke about it in a interview, and said is his favorite version of this song.

I wonder why he didn't played it more than twice, then...

Do you from the top off your head at which shows it was played? 

If so, I don't need to check gnrontour ;-)

Dunno if this is the version on the ISE single in the box set, but I believe this is the version on the original ISE single. I could be wrong though, I haven't heard it in a long time. 

Same goes for me. I think its the early mix of Brownstone reased on the 12" version of one of the first singles (might be ISE). Since I am on holiday I unfortunately cannot double check or clarify if its in the LNL box at the moment. 

Well, in June 2012 a few friends of mine bought tickets last minute for the Mönchengladbach, Germany show for approx. 10-15€ because the gig sold so bad. 

They were like "I can hardly get Axl Rose on DVD for this little money, so lets go out and see him live instead of watching TV at home or making the dishes."

Any further questions?

@troccoli said he had no clue the cassette would be included, but he thought it was the same. He couldn't be 100% sure, because he hadn't received his box yet. I don't think he's posted anything about it since.

Ah, ok.

As far as I know, @troccoli is the reason the demo tape is in there as it's basically a copy of the one he received which is where these tracks came from.

Didn't he state that it's not from him?!

I'm inches away from cracking and ordering Locked & Loaded.... 

Do it, do it, do it! 😃

My locked and loaded should be here sometime this week. Until then I am enjoying the super deluxe version. I'm here in Indiana and still have not gotten a shipping notification.

 

Don't worry. I didn't receive any shipping information either but got my box on time last friday.

You got an email? I got a confirmation email when pre ordered it like 1.5 months ago. It’s has a order number and a way to track it, but just says my order has been accepted and processed. Looks like people internationally might be gettting it first. 

Mine was shipped from Universal Music in Berlin and I received it on Friday. 

The delivery box I got was the one by which the L&L boxset went through the whole manufacturing process as I could see on the notes written on the box. The L&L box itself (and I guess most of the repilca stuff) was made in China. Then it went to GZ Media record plant im Czech republic who pressed the CDs and records (GZ in general is very hit or miss) and then it went to the Universal warehouse in Berlin where it was stocked until the day of release. 

I am very excited about the hidden cassette. Even though I do own an original AFD cassette I was a little bit pissed because of them not using one drawer for a cassette version of the album or LLAS instead for stupid rings. They did proof me wrong by including an exclusive rerelease of an old demo tape. Smart move.
