After more than a year, some of Axl Rose‘s Topps autographs are signed, sealed and ready to be delivered.

Topps revealed on its Twitter account Tuesday afternoon the first looks at its 2013 Topps Archives Heavy Metal insert — an autographed parallel printed on metal — that the Guns N Roses frontman finally signed after the card was issued last year via a redemption.

“#BOOM! Look who signed. @axlrose,” read the post. “Heavy Metal autos will ship soon. More info to come on other autos.”

Rose’s other autos, all issued as redemptions, included his standard Heavy Metal card from Archives as well as standard and red-ink autos found in 2013 Topps Allen & Ginter. This year’s version of that set officially arrives tomorrow.

It’s worth noting that the card above is missing the set’s “Heavy Metal” logo is not shown on Rose’s card — not a stretch to guess that that’s perhaps a reason for the delay in signing.

Slash's guitar sound is incredible.

it's called, opportunism. bumping a thread about dj when Slash is set to get an award.

I picked it [Chinese Democracy] up at The Dollar Tree for $1

So that must mean only another nine or ten years until it's released.

Title: Appetite for Irrelevance

That's a great festival set. I'm glad Back From Cali wasn't played, hopefully they drop that one completely. Starlight should stay though, sucks that wasn't played last night.

Never seen:

Any of the Godfather movies

It's A Wonderful Life

Gone With The Wind

Any LOTR or LOTR related film

any Matrix film

Casablanca

Braveheart

Pulp fiction

any Planet of the Apes film

to name a few. what is on your list?

edit: ah, shit. youtube blocked the audio even though it's just a drunk cover rendition. i'll try again later.

vimeo

ask and ye shall receive!

i got youtube to work a while back but never posted it here.

i have a bunch more drunk karaoke sessions on my phone...

Not bad for a drunk cover ER.

Multiple (5ish?) takes. Did 1 take then corrected a few screw ups in lyrics and screaming.

Oh and this is pretty much me trying and wanting to sing like axl

This was great dude!!! You'd sound good on the stage with a decent effect and live band. Really good tone.

Here is one I did live of Dead Horse back in 2012.

Got mine today (BR)

It´s great. Thank you Rockfuel

ps. on booklet, band assistant is spelled wrong...it´s Luukkonen not Lukkonen. Or as we know him, just Jarmo/

He has a credit on this thing? Holy cow.... lame!

makkonen, it's /jarmo

zosorose, doesn't surprise me. /jarmo and Eric both were listed by Axl in the Chinese Democracy booklet

just saw the video for Patience on YouTube and laughed when Dizzy, and then Ron, started to applaud after Dj's "Patience" thing.

Easy to create a cupcake thread and not adding the whole Tour shirt collection. Here's some more:

You can order them here: http://www.slashmerch.com/index.php/tour-merch.html

first 2 in the OP and last 2 in this one i plan on buying. thanks for the link man!

Edit: And no, this is the worst shirt I've ever seen

Slash in Ottawa

Yes they started on time, like 7:35

Excellent! I'm really curious to see how long they play, Aerosmith usually lets their opening acts do 12+ songs.

here it is, they're on 60 minutes on Let Rock Rule gigs

yes headlining gigs: 120min

Let Rock Rule opening gigs: 60min

Someone find me a video of ycbm from this gig!

short one but still YCBM !

That k you War41!

Slash is almost always right on time

under 5,000 for a Guns N' Roses release, their first DVDs since 1992, first release in 6 years and first release with this lineup, is pretty bad imo. I hope those who bought it enjoy it though, numbers can't detract from how much someone likes something.

I'm waiting for videos of YCBM

There is sync issues, but its the least of the worries of the DVD. A certain 'DJ' is more annoying then any audio idiosyncrasies.

Dj is the audio issue I've got.

Duff McKagen

What song was Godzilla brought out for?

I'm curious, was the 4,000 number based on just physical sales, or were digital sales counted as well? I wonder what the difference between the two was

But This Is It is the best selling concert film, but maybe that was for when it was in the cinemas only and not out on dvd yet?

From the numbers I get from google it's sold nearly 3 million copies.

I didn't see that in the RIAA database. Are those worldwide sales? The recent Led Zeppelin blu ray concert film and the MC blu ray concert film are 3x Platinum (3m units) in the USA. It's also worth pointing out that This Is It on that site is listed as a documentary, not a concert film.

Led Zeppelin's Celebration Day video longform is 3x platinum according to the RIAA database. I didn't see Michael Jackson's This Is It listed. I don't think concert films generally do well, especially now with so many people having access to YouTube and other sites where they can be put up for streaming. Were digital sales counted in the billboard thing, or was it just physical releases?
