But how many of them are concert films? Very few I imagine. As was said above, the only way it's really worth doing is as part of a bundle sold by the artist.

Finally got round to doing this properly. Five shows – London 2017 (night 2, Download 2018, London 2022 (both nights), and London 2023. I think everything's there – 46 songs, solos included, intros not (except Rumble which felt appropriate for some reason). Broken down as the setlist from my first show, then the additions from every subsequent show I've been to. It's So Easy x5 Mr. Brownstone x5 Chinese Democracy x5 Welcome to the Jungle x5 Double Talkin' Jive x5 Better x3 Estranged x5 Live and Let Die x5 Rocket Queen x4 (including the new arrangement played in 2023) You Could Be Mine x3 You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory/New Rose x1 This I Love x2 Civil War x5 Yesterdays x1 Coma x3 Slash solo (Johnny B. Goode/Godfather) x2 Sweet Child o' Mine x5 (twice with Carrie Underwood) Out ta Get Me x1 Wish You Were Here x2 November Rain x4 Black Hole Sun x2 Knockin' on Heaven's Door x5 Nightrain x5 Don't Cry x2 Whole Lotta Rosie x1 Paradise City x5 (twice with Carrie Underwood) Slither x4 You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory/Attitude x1 Shadow of Your Love x1 Wichita Lineman x2 Patience x4 The Seeker x1 Rumble x3 Reckless Life x2 I Wanna Be Your Dog x2 Absurd x3 Hard Skool x2 Slash solo (Born Under A Bad Sign) x1 You're Crazy (slow) x1 Slash solo (Mannish Boy) x1 (Also had Blackbird as something of a standalone, but served as an intro the night before so not included) Bad Obsession x1 Pretty Tied Up x1 Down on the Farm x1 T.V. Eye x1 Anything Goes x1 Slash solo (unknown/jam) x1

Not much use in the car or when walking through a city though 🤷‍♂️

Even better idea! Live Era 2016-23

Honestly completely forgot that (I've just woke up) – I've even bought a few myself 🤦‍♂️ Chinese Leftovers 'album' with a live DVD/Blu Ray before they move onto the next phase would definitely be something I'd buy

It's 2023, it's more likely to see a Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ or Apple TV release. Physical media is dying. The only people that would buy a Blu Ray would be us

Yep, Rome. At Graspop Mr. Brownstone didn't get played at all, which is unusual, and in Pitsburgh it was played third after Bad Obsession, but before Chinese Democracy

The only way it's not a fair comparison is because there's no way on earth The General will be a vinyl exclusive 😂 Whereas we know the two live tracks already are. If anything, it highlights how moronic the 'vinyl only' theory is. Of course throwaway live tracks will be. An unrealeased studio take from a band that operates like this absolutely won't be. And are they out there? I've looked, and haven't found them. (I care – love any sort of live material)

Everyone saying how it'll definitely be ripped if it's a vinyl exclusive (which it won't be, but anyway), why haven't the Absurd and Shaddow of your Love live exlusives been ripped and surfaced online?

All these dramatic reactions, all these crazy theories... I hate to say it, but I'm starting to understand why TB resents us

Oh there was still a couple a few shows in... But yeah, I can't stand the setlist complainers. For one, most bands do the same thing, and two, they're not playing for the same audience every night. If someone wants to follow every show, that's on them. They're not the target audience

"Show usually starts around 7, they go on stage around 9..."

...and the first reply is about a lineup 🙄😂 I'd like to meet Slash and Axl one day. And see There Was A Time performed live

A song is missing from one show and everyone immediately assumes it's been 'dropped' 😂 Way to overreact. Mr. Brownstone wasn't played at one show this year, that's not been dropped! Look, all I'm saying is let's not jump to conclusions based on the events of ONE show

You do realise we're talking about Guns N' Roses here, right? 😂

I really don't get the appeal of vinyl these days. Aside from the artwork – which you can put on posters, t-shirts etc. anyway – what's the appeal? Having a physical thing to collect? I can sort of buy that reason but not much else. The sound quality isn't as good as a modern, lossless formats, and the present day vinyls aren't even properly produced as vinyls – they just paste the track onto the format as is, it isn't made for it, so that too affects it. Someone woke up one day and decided vinyl was the way to go again and everyone just blindly followed suit. The same was tried with casettes and thankfully the world's coming to its senses on that one. It just exists for the sake of it. There's a reason it died out in the first place.

Glad he didn't over here! That Manchester Apollo gig was special, and getting this close in Doncaster a few nights later was amazing 👇 https://www.instagram.com/p/BuGwBkoFIEp/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Slash plays smaller venues because he wants to. I can't remember where, but there's an interview where he said as much. I can't find that interview, but here's a couple that hint at the same thing: https://ultimateclassicrock.com/slash-stadium-shows/ https://www.laweekly.com/slash-is-still-living-the-dream/ Before he returned to Guns N' Roses, he was playing arenas – the World On Fire European Tour was an Arena tour. Every venue on SMKC's last UK tour sold out and tickets weren't easy to get – he could’ve easily done the arenas again but didn't. Since he gets his arena and stadium fill with his 'day job', why not play smaller ones for fun?

I reckon you could settle the Slash v Buckethead debate by looking at Lars Ulrich (bear with me)... It's pretty apparent that Lars isn't one of the best drummers ever, yet if you put anyone else in Metallica, it wouldn't sound right. He doesn't need to be the most technical, he needs to be the best fit. Technically speaking, Buckethead might be a better guitar player than Slash, but Slash is the better fit for Guns N' Roses. Who is better is, of course, subjective anyway, but in cases like this it isn't important. Being better doesn't mean that person isn't more suitable. You see it in Football too – you can sign the best player in the world, but if he doesn't fit with the 10 other guys, his individual ability is useless. Buckethead's great, but he's always been a square peg in a round hole imo. I've never found him to be a good fit, regardless of his playing ability.

I went and snooped on an AC/DC forum after this, and I must say, all is forgiven with this place. Here was me thinking the GN'R fanbase complained too much, but they operate at an Olympic standard compared to us 😂 How can fans of a rock band be so miserable and negative?

April Fool's one of my favourite SMKC songs, but it reminds me of someone I, shall we say, 'knew' at the time of release, so listening to that one can be a challenge 😂 I like that, C'est La Vie, Fill My World, and Call Off The Dogs. I'm a fan of Fall Back to Earth too – it has a sort of Bond theme feel to it. I often skip Spirit Love though, maybe I should give it another chance.

Took me a while to warm to it too, but it's a decent record with good songs on it. I think it'll forever be the forgotten record from that band because of the timing of its release more than anything

Was the one who died in a bizarre gardening accident better than the one who choked on someone elses vomit? That's the real question. I vote for the one who spontaneously combusted

IRS would sound the best with the current band, but I voted for Shacklers Revenge. It's probably the least 'Slash-like' song off that album so I'm curious to hear what he'd do to it. Plus I'm sure I remember reading that it was either rehearsed or on a setlist early in the NITL days
