Anxious Disease by the Outpatience featuring both Slash and Axl is an incredible song.

 

What is that album like, is it worth a listen?

I love Cream, i think they were brilliant.  I like Jazz yeah but those guys were fuckin' monsters, you can't really compare guys like Coltrane or Bird or Sonny Rollins and them with fuckin'...I dunno, all these rock guitarists that love solo-ing.  Ginge was the making of Cream really. 

I've been listening to live Cream 1&2 a lot recently (vinyl) and they sound amazing. Ginger Baker was primal man. Clapton never had a drummer as good again, and NO the Layla nutcase doesn't count! 😂

Uhm... the Stones have made a lot of records since '72.

They have, and excluding Blue and lonesome which is excellent and the odd live album there's been a lot of filler on those albums, there wasn't as much filler on the albums up to 72. (Just my take, I love the Stones)

Everybody knows that if there's one band with a lot of filler in their discography, it's the Stones.

Every one now also knows you don't know your stones.... None of those tunes are filler. Stones were all killer no filler till 72.

There are bands like the Bloodhound Gang or people like Weird Al Yankovic who make that kind of music. You should check it out if you're into joke rock/music.

Man that song is pure Stones.... The Stones have a bunch of songs like this, Sweet Virginia, Dear Doctor, Dead Flowers, Country Honk, You Got The Silver.... 

Its a laid back, late night, acoustic studio recording, a drunken singalong... (ruined by that naff "Deep down inside" voice) 🙄

Lyrics

I tried so hard just to get through to you
But your head's so far
From the realness of truth
Was it just a come on in the dark
Wasn't meant to last long
I think you've worn your welcome honey
I'll just see you along as I sing you this song

Time can pass slowly 
Things always change
Your day's been numbered
And I've read your last page
You was just a temporary love
But honey you ain't the first
Lots of other come before you woman
Said but you been the worst
Said you been the worst

So goodbye to you girl
So long, farewell
I can't hear you cryin'
Your jivin's been hell
So look for me walkin' 
Down your street at night
I'll be in with another
Deep down inside
Deep down inside

Brilliant. We've all dated that chick! 😂

I wonder if being part of the culture and a teenager at the time these albums were released causes you to hear them differently..... Music like Guns and Nirvana were the bands big in 91-93. I heard their music differently than I did The Doors or The Sex Pistols or The MC5 because I was living real time with this soundtrack of those 2 bands and others. I could only think about seeing the doors live whereas I seen GNR live promoting these albums. They were in the media, on the tv, in magazines and huge music videos. It was bloated and amazing all at once and that's what those albums are. 

I wish they would re-release these albums and release the albums Slash talked about in his book. The songs played by guitars, drums, bass and Vocals. I'd kill to hear the raw album. I think some songs would benefit from it. Take away the fucking annoying deep low voice Axl uses in songs like Breakdown, Strip away the stuff that sounds dated. A track like November Rain benefited from that stuff but others were over produced. Estranged is a great track and it's almost all just a band with a piano player. Killer recording. Trim the fat off this album!

Get in the ring was like a completely dangerous song to a 13 year old back in 1991..... shite but dangerous. I try to hear the music only with get in the ring. That bluesy piece Slash plays on the intro is among the coolest sound he ever made on a guitar. 

It would have been cool if they did like a side each of those albums. Izzys tunes have held up the best for me. He wrote great laid back lyrics and also cool as fuck lyrics, a drug dealers poetry.... (glad he sobered up)

So I have to go with 1 even though 14 years and pretty tied up are on 2 and I prefer the cover on 2) 🙂 

Some of it made sense at the time and doesn't now. The world is a different place now than it was in 1991. You wouldn't see lads running around a stage half drunk with cigarettes hanging from their lips now! But it made perfect sense to a whole generation of mad bastards in 1991. 😂

Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young played for 225 mins once. 

I'd watch Neil Young play for 225 days.....

The shows arent too long, they are just missing songs that make 3:30 shows fly by. They could be blowing people away with any number of originals but play witchita fucking lineman instead. The shows can drag a little because of that. (That's what my experience has been) 

When Slash, Duff & Axl got back playing with each other, I hoped they would mix up the set lists more, play some illusions tunes. Those songs are been skipped for the seeker and Black Hole Sun. 

On the other hand I wish they dragged Double Talkin Jive for longer. They did great versions of it in 93, you could HEAR Gilby for a change. He and Slash played well together. 

This is excellent!! Great that it finally seen the light of day, Why is the sound so poor though? I'm maxing out the volume and it's still quite low...

Kudos to this Kid! Gnr has reached into how many generations now? 

It was the first Guns album I bought with my own money. I had to go to two record shops as the first fucker wouldn't sell it to me due to the "Parental Advisory" sticker! I was 13 . I'd got UYI 1 & 2 for Christmas in 1991. But I have a soft spot for TSI? as it was the first I bought. 

I already loved the sex pistols but became a huge stooges fan. The Dead Boys, New York Dolls, T-Rex and Heartbreakers albums all joined my blank tape collection in the next few months 🙂

It had its place at the time and it has its place now also. 

I remember hearing the Manson tune at the end and all I kept thinking was "the fucking gardener.... playing guitar...... what the fuck....."

Live versions by far! Actually I think that I'm a "live version" addict and not only with GNR but with all the songs/artists that I like. Live performances is life!!!! Studio versions I like to listen to have a reference and figure out some details that can escapes me.

This, I listen to 90% of my music live only... A band is a live band. The studio versions of a song like Double Talkin Jive from say 93 pisses all over the studio version. 

Albums are documents, live shows are where the songs breath. All the great bands have been great live bands.

Mick Taylor era Stones bootlegs and Crazy Horse bootlegs are manna for me. With Guns, when I used to listen to them, I would throw a VHS of the Ritz on but I also listened to Appetite; I did explore the bootlegs; it is the pinnacle of the band, to be found on those 1980s boots.

Hell yeah to Taylor and Neil Young boots!!

Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Beggar's Banquet and Exile! 

Unrivalled run of albums... Of course Blue and Lonesome is not in the same league, but if Guns were to release an album I'd be happy if it met the quality of Blue and Lonesome.  

For any Stones fans: top 3 tracks from each album? 

The latest stones album however is amongst their best. Somewhere in the late 80s Jagger and Richards realized the stones will tower over anything else they do solo wise. Guns are the same. I just wish we got an album!

GN'R was a bit different than The Beatles or The Stones. The band was already in this Situation before the solo albums and various side proejct happened. Slash or Duff also never released avantagarde albums like John and Yoko did.

My World. (Solo song on a Guns album) Avant-Garde as fuck. (In that context in the 90s) 

MC5 ... Nuff Said!

Great.  More covers turned into regulars.  Just what we needed.

Also, anything they rotate in and out seems to be mostly CD songs, which are also non-GNR songs ...

Last night's show had 7 covers and 4 CD songs (so more covers) = 11 non-GNR songs.  vs 18 GNR originals.  Not counting pointless jams on MORE cover songs.

Probably over an hour and a half of opportunities missed to play their own fucking songs for fuck's sake ...

What a disaster

I agree somewhat with this, my GF got the set list (it was dated 30th) and when you look at the other songs they had as alternates, I would have sacrificed every cover (with the exception of the Jimmy Brown cover) for the alternates to be played.... 

Perfect Crime , Catcher in the Rye (played), Sorry, You're Crazy (fast version), I used to love her (played), There was a time. 

I'll take Perfect Crime, There was a time and You're Crazy over the witchita fucking lineman, black hole sun and the seeker any day...

There was a few kicking around the stand about 35 mins ago. I was going to grab a litho but I'm not mad about the design. Picked up two shirts and a tour poster. I'll prob grab more later on! I'll be the dude with a Slane Caste Ireland NITL shirt on if you see me say hello!

Got a glimpse of the vancouver shirt, looks like it's just the bullet logo with a dreamcatcher on it. Kinda bland...

Litho is a bear design.

I think they park it out front pretty early but I plan on lining up early so I'll see if I can find out when it opens.

Thank you
