Zanedog Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 All this talk about the Use Your Illusions albums 20th anniversary, and how they were too much at one time. So what would have been the best album with the UYI era songs that they could have released? Would it have done better than the double albums? I love both albums and mostly every song, but most people wishe it would hav been more rocking from what I hear. This isn my favorite songs, but rather what I think might be a better true follow up to Appetite. The band's sound still progressing with some tracks.My 14 song album:1. Crash Diet2. Back Off Bitch3. Civil War4. Dust N Bones5. Pretty Tied Up6. November Rain7. Double Talkin Jive8. Locomotive9. Garden of Eden10. Estranged11. 14 Years12. You Could Be Mine13. Comathoughts?

recklessroad Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 If these 12 songs in this order were on one record and then they put out a single for each song, everyone would buy the single to get the B side and the record would have been as big as AFD or bigger and they would have had lots of top 10 singles because of the sales to get the B sides. The rest of the songs save for a different project or the next record including Ain't going downDust N Bones --------B side 14 YearsPerfect Crime ---------B side Back Off BitchLive And Let Die----- B side Bad Obsession Don't Cry ---------------B side Don't Cry ALTDouble Talkin Jive--- B side Right Next Door To HellNovember Rain ------ B side Dead HorseCivil War --------------- B side So FinePretty Tied Up ----------B side You Ain't The firstLocomotive --------------B side The GardenEstranged ---------------B side YesterdaysYCBM ---------------------B side Garden Of EdenComa ---------------------B side BreakdownTotal 75 minutes = Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest injun.Its more the fact that I never go on the other forums, because most get no post or rarely any. If I want to have a Guns N Roses discussion I would rather have it on a forum that actually has discussions.Besides this is just like any other Use Your Illusion discussion on here, I see a handful just on the first page.

Never thought of anything like that before but it's crazy enough that it might have worked.It's hard to imagine the albums any different than they are since I'm so used to them. I guess a better/easier way for me to do this would be to list the songs I would not include:You Ain't The FirstThe GardenDon't Damn MeBad ApplesGet In The RingShotgun BluesDon't Cry (Alternate)So FineMy WorldThat's not to say I don't like those songs at all (except My World of course), but those are the songs that come to mind that I wouldn't include if I were making a condensed track list for the albums.

Use Your Delusion 1 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) Reckless Road had a great idea; b-sides in brackets, those not singles are without b sides 1. Perfect Crime2. You Could Be Mine (Live and Let Die)3. Dead Horse 4. Don't Cry (Don't Cry Alt) 5.Yesterdays (Dust N Bones) 6.Don't Damn Me 7.Double Talkin' Jive 8. November Rain (Breakdown) 9.Civil War (Bad Apples) 10.Locomotive 11.Pretty Tied Up 12. Coma70 minutes long~and then a Extra EP1.Bad Obsession 2.Estranged (Since I Don't have You)3.Garden of Eden4.Bad Apples5. Ain't it Fun6. Welcome to the Jungle (Live)7. November Rain (Live)8.Sweet Child O Mine (Live)9.You Could Be Mine (Live)10.Paradise City (Live)boom!I think this idea is so good I might make a time machine and try and convince Axl Edited January 6, 2012 by Use Your Delusion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GivenToFly Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 The ultimate AFD follow up would've been putting out a whole album in 1989, instead of Lies, using the songs for Lies, plus the Illusion songs that had already been written by then. And then release the Illusion with new songs only. It would mean not revisiting Live Like a Suicide, I guess.1. Perfect Crime2. You Could Be Mine3. Don't Cry4. Bad Obsession5. Yesterdays6. Used To Love Her7. Back Off Bitch8. One In A Million9. Patience10. Knockin' On Heaven's Door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31illusions Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 With Coma, Estranged and November Rain being almost 10 min. songs I doubt you could fit over 12 songs on a CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I would've made the follow up most of the leftovers from AFD, then put the covers album out mid tour. Skin N Bones tour would've been pushed back and changed to support the next album of originals. I do think GNR should put a covers EP out this year, maybe for Record Store Day and do a set at Amoeba Records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd swap, dust & bones/14 yrs around, and perfect crime for bad obsession, though Keep the covers for the Spag Incident, and release 1 single with 3 B's. I doubt any band would ever release a whole album of singles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
