finck6 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I don't think it'd sell. Think about it. GnR is not relevant anymore. Maybe if it'd been released 15 years ago, then maybe it'd have been financially rewarding. This is not 1992 anymore, when GnR was the biggest band on the planet. Of course, die hard fans would buy it and not even think about it. Hell, I'd buy it if it focused on the old lineup and the Box Set came with bootlegs from the AFD tour and unreleased material from their heyday. But a Box Set that focuses on the new incarnation of GnR would not sell as much as you'd expect. I've always thought people bought CD out of sheer curiosity and sure it's grown on them (some songs have grown on me over the years, but only because I like Axl's voice), but it's not like CD put GnR back where it was in 1992. So even though a biography penned by Axl would be a very interesting read, I don't think a significant number of fans care about remixes and or behind the scenes footage of this current lineup. IMO.you might not think GNR is relevant but axl sure does think GNR's relevant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nambis Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) Best Buy unloaded all of their Chinese Democracy CDs to Dollar Tree, where it is priced at $1 - and you guys are gonna pay $300 for the outtakes???!??!?! LMFAOI haven't listened to Chinese Democracy in forever... so if there was a boxset, I would probably download it and listen a couple of times out of curiosity. I still feel robbed since I paid $35 for a vinyl copy of CD, which is unlistenable due to inner groove distortion.

The Real McCoy Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I'm honestly surprised that Geffen never released a box set with all of the band's demos from '86 - '94 on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
