Snowmass Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Pretty well known that the UYI tour was (mostly) filmed/recorded for a documentary. Will Axl ever have the balls (please) to release? Or do Slash/Duff have any say/rights to release any of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I doubt it will see the light of day. I wish it would, it is one of those items I would want the most in regards to unreleased old GNR material Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie Mercury's Ghost Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I've said it before - let the team who edited Metallica's "Some Kind of Monster" documentary go through the hundreds of hours of concert/backstage footage from the Use Your Illusion tour and tell that story.

classicrawker Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 not unless Axl needs money or passes on.......the estates aways cash in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Such an odd thing for a singer not to release. Sure, he may be sitting on it just to spite Slash......but is that more important than doing something that literally millions of his fans would love???

Darkness Descends Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 It might not happen any time 'soon' for the following reasons:1. Slash & Duff had sued Axl for damaging the name of original Guns N Roses. Their theory was that Axl's 1992-93 contract stated that if there were problems brewing Axl would quit the band and take the name with him. Which kinda means that Axl has nothing to do with original GNR. So all decisions regarding previous version of GNR (Appetite/Lies/UYI/Spaghetti), merchandise, videos, releases in movies, games etc. were to be made by Slash & Duff primarily and Axl as well.So, it would be too much of a hassle to release anything related to original GNR. Thats why Live era & Greatest Hits were so reluctantly released. And thats why Axl changed the Sweet Child o Mine version to the 'Figaro' live version.2. UYI is over. Axl does not live in the past nor does he has anything to do with that era. That would mean he is releasing and publicizing original GNR instead of his current project.3. Clearances from management, previous members, people included in the video, effort to be taken to make the video upto the standards of today's blue ray generation etc etc. Neither of the original GNR members have any will to promote previous GNR as well.It can only leak on the internet if someone has the balls to edit basically 2.5 years of home videos. And that means a lot of trouble to be taken by some people for no money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bran Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 i would love to see this stuff, but like CR said more likely when axl passes if the estate goes for a major cash grab it may get released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life is so much more enjoyable if you do things out of love and happiness rather than anger and hate. You would hope that Axl would care more about his millions of fans than he does about one man he hates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're all giving our interpretation and opinions here. Nobodys getting straight answers from him any time 'soon'.2. Well he was a part of original GNR as well. So everyone can play it. But he rarely talks or promotes the original GNR. Sadly that era is the only achievement people remember him and other members for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvH Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 If think it is many GN'R fans' dream...but I doubt it will ever be released, sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the fans are something he takes into consideration the majority of the time (99.9%). He doesn't owe us, remember? Hell, I don't even think he likes us all that much.

Nosaj Thing Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 That's my dream, unfortunately I don't really rely on Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 It would have to be up to Duff, Axl, and Slash to approve it. I don't think it would be a hassle but there would have to be a reason to release it that they'd all be on board with. Don't think of it as Axl hoarding unreleased stuff. It also has to have entertainment value to it, and tell some sort of a story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
