Give me fucking any fucking pro-shot from fucking Izzy days of fucking gnr fucking greatness! 

Great podcast as usual. 

I have no idea as to how someone is so ignorant that they believe that they can purge something off the net. As was stated earlier, it will just result in more people being interested in it, and it being moved to a more secure platform.

I think he might have, but I listened to the bootleg of the ‘91 Inglewood show a couple weeks ago and remember Axl introducing Locomotive as “Slash’s Baby”

Fairly sure Axl said that writing lyrics for Locomotive was a pain, and he was forced to do it in a sense since Slash really wanted that song on UYI.

Please try not using this type of fucking language. 

To quote the sticker on my UYI II: "This album contains language which some listeners may find objectionable. They can F?!* OFF and buy something from the New Age section."

1. Rocket Queen

2. It's So Easy

3. Coma

4. November Rain

5. Welcome To The Jungle

6. Civil War

7. Locomotive

8. Estranged

9. Don't Cry (Alt.) 

10. Mr. Brownstone

I don't know what it is about the atomsphere in Rocket Queen, but that song is on another level. 

Well, France played well and won as a consequence! Kind of sad to see Croatia lose though, as I find them far more entertaining to watch. 

I disagree heavily with giving the freekick leading to the first goal. Yellow card on Griezmann, play on. 

1. One In A Million

2. Mama Kin

3. Move To The City

4. Patience

5. Nice Boys

6. You're Crazy

7. Used To Love Her

Thanks. If I start to get familiar with leagues there, which should I watch? Something that is fun/lots of action and not boring. 

Norwegian league. Was blown away when I saw the two worst teams face-off. Could not make one successful pass, haha.

Broadly (and generalising), I'd actually consider England to have been at about ''Swedish level'', with the greatest respect, 1980-2006: a ''quarter-final'' tinge. Sometimes England were better than that (1990/96 semi-finalists) sometimes worse (1994/2008 - ''did not qualify'') but summarising, I'd place England into that middling-good/quarter final bracket which is approximately where Sweden are.

That period however from about 2008 to 2016, Wally with Brolly/Capello/Hodgson era, England were truly diabolical.

Yeah neither England nor Sweden have been bad in recent history, so much is for sure. Just like England, Sweden has been weak until recently, partially because Zlatan just didn't seem work as part of the team. All in all, both Sweden and England had the potential to win, that much is true. Anything can happen, South Korea knocked Germany out of the cup after all. 

What I'm saying is essentially that not everyone, probably not the majority, shares your English opinion of bronze-matches. You can either go, "this cup was worthless, we didn't win!" or react by thinking that you performed well and didn't walk away empty handed. I believe this reaction comes down to national history in football, as well as culture. I might be wrong though!

You're joking? I'm English! 

Granted there is less congruence than before this world cup started.

Over the years, the English teams has quite frequently made it to the quarter finals, have they not? I get that English football wasn't exactly at an all-time high previously, but despite that, they were still among the better teams around.

''Bronze'' bah. If you look at the losing finalists, silver, most of them remove their medals as they want nothing to do with them. The World Cup isn't the Olympics.

Again, you can't seem to break free from your perspective of being from a nation which actually is good at football.

Well all that does is speak about the paltry number of ''great'' Swedish ''moments in sport''. 

 

 

No shit. This is exactly what I'm saying. Not every nation has a background as contenders for the World Cup gold, nor did they ever have a chamce to win it. Which is why getting a bronze isn't a trash performance from quite a lot of teams over the world.  

Stop being defensive, and stop being naive. You're doing no one a favor. 

From the Swedish Wikipedia article of the 1994 World Cup. I think it examplifies just how highly that bronze was regarded quite well. 

"Sweden played one of its best tournaments ever and finished in third place after a 4–0 victory versus Bulgaria in the bronze match. In Sweden, the World Cup bronze resulted in euphoria.  In January 2001, Thomas Ravelli's match winning penalty save in the quarterfinal against Rumania was named one of history's greatest moments in sports."

Also, to those more familiar with World Cup history, was there ever a time where a player didnt play to win or let another nation win(maybe cuz he is playing for that nation)?

Yes. As why even get onto the plane in the first place?

I'll guarantee to you that no one in Panama agrees with you.

Why enter a World Cup if ''you don't expect to win it''?

Ask 90% of teams playing the world cup. Your mindset is either something specific to "the big nations", who have a serious chance of winning, or to England in particular. Do you seriously think Panama went into the World Cup expecting to win it? No, I didn't think so, and neither did you.

Yes, like the OP states.

Nobody cares. The managers of course produces waffle about, ''there still being a game to play that we want to win'' but ultimately nobody cares or wants to play it. Every team who plays that match is still looking back on the semi final, thinking of the missed opportunity, etc. 

Well here in Sweden, getting that bronze is still seen today as a great achievement.

It's all a matter of perspective, if you came to the cup expecting to win it all then it's a poor performance. But, on the other hand if your team comes in there with low expectations and pulls off a bronze - that's a great result! 

I think a lot of teams which got reasonably far would be very happy to earn a bronze. Japan,  Russia, Sweden, Switzerland to name a few.

All we need now is a definitive bootleg collection of all these recordings.  I know I have Ultra Rare Tracks and The Story Vol. 1 somewhere. And some of the Lies sessions. And maybe some others. All as mp3, no FLAC. But definitely not the whole thing. Willing to contribute though.. 

Good idea, but there's really no point in keeping it in MP3 - converting an album from FLAC to MP3 takes something like 1-2 minutes. 

I don't know what happened to the thread about the release party, but someone who was there said the quality was very good.

Did Axl write the lyrics for this one?

Izzy and Axl have the writing credits, so yeah. 

I think the reason for the November Rain demos being included unlike the Don't Cry demo might have come down to how similar to the final version the demos sound? 

The NR demos are really different from UYI NR, unlike the Don't Cry demos. Still makes it kind of weird that they included the Mystic Don't Cry, though.

right. so what's next to add?

edit: OK it seems all that remains is going through Chinese Whispers and check for all the forgotten sessions

There's an acoustic instrumental of DTJ in the Rarities box set. Do you know what's up with that, is it a fake/cover or something known?

According to the UYI II booklet, these are the lyrics:

If we could see tomorrow

What of your plans

No one can live in sorrow

Ask all your friends

Times that you took in stride

They're all back in demand

I was the one who's washing

Blood of your hands

...

I know the things you wanted

They're not what you have

With all the people talkin' it's driving you mad

If I was standing by you how would you feel

Knowing your love's decided

And all love is real

...

I thought I could live in your world

As years all went by

With all the voices I've heard

Something has died

And when you're in need of someone

My heart won't deny you

So many seem so lonely

With no one left to cry to baby

In my opinion, the original version sounds slightly better until the solo. I really, really like the part in the alt. version after the solo though.
