RNRS Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Seeing Axl's fat in high-definitionNecessary?No, it's not necessary at all. If he'd just go on a diet and wouldn't eat so many burgers he'd look healthy in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 There are no downsides to a blu-ray release.This is untrue. I'm all for releasing content to nourish (and build) your fanbase but every industry has discernibly proved the inferiority of physical content distribution.From a basic business perspective, there's the problem of (1) HDTV/bluray adoption rate and (2) High overhead/cost with physical releases.The future is digital distribution, prudently marrying free-to-play with lower cost digital content.And then, as HRS so cynically pointed out, the initial amount of demand and interest in that product/brand anyway.Wrong.If you want a 3-hour, 1080p quality, 5.1 TrueHD audio quality release, you are not going to get it in digital distribution because it would be at least 30-40 gigabytes in size.Also, a blu-ray would only cost $17-20, which is perfectly fine. DVD probably around $15. People would and will buy it.\Sure, a ton of people prefer digital distribution (especially when it comes to just albums), but when it comes to actual video content, the number of people who want a physical release is much higher.

trqster Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Axl's gotta put out a 2010 live era DVD - the golden voice year after all. It ain't gonna get any better than that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie Mercury's Ghost Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Having said that, i would LOVE to see some hd/sbd stuff come out for real. IMO the Tokyo 2009 in-ear "sbd" is the best thing to come from this band since the CD leak of CITR with Brian May.Check out the in-ear monitor audio from GNR's 2007 show in Tokyo - it's from the end of the 2006-2007 tour and Axl's in good form.Example: Edited July 1, 2012 by Freddie Mercury's Ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desperado Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 maybe they will edit the 2 shows from the O2 together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2010 O2 shows were amazing.They have two takes of most songs, and they could edit them together like the two nights Queen filmed for Queen Rocks Montreal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
