But I dont think the iphone comparison is that bad: The boxset as well as the iphone are luxury goods. No one of us needs them. No one of us HAS to buy them. Sure, most people would like to have them. But unfortunately not all are in the financial position to buy them. Thats life. Thats capitalism. Simple as that. From my point of view the only mistake GNR made is that the vinyl will not be sold seperately or in a bundle with the book for - lets say - 300 bucks. This is what pisses me off. A CD/book bundle in 2018?! Come on! So you have a flip phone then? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I told him I was in for the 650. He laughed and said the difference is only a new pair of shoes or two. Sure, we all have most of these songs in less than stellar versions. But like others have said, those who have the cash to spend on something like this will. I just pre-ordered my Locked & Loaded set and will put in on the shelf next to the rest of my GnR memorabilia. Now, when are the Illusions being re-released without all of the extremely dated overdubbed noises? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonizedmind Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) If the video gets past 200K today, it'll go on the Trending list on YT too, which tells the band - There IS demand for material ! Pull the finger out.... This all done with minimal promo from the actual artist again... Edited May 4, 2018 by colonizedmind 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally know a bunch of people that bought those VIP/$1k+ seats and I'd say the majority of them were casual fans (with money) that wanted to see them live and in good seats....no way those people are buying a $1k box set. Anyway, I guess we'll see soon enough. Agreed. They should have priced the L&L option at $399... $499, tops. That would have been a fair price, IMHO. $999? Not so f'n much, fellas. I'd be getting myself a nice piece of REAL rare collectible off Ebay for that price. Something unique that makes it feel special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think its a good or bad sign, it just sounds different than what Slash's tone was like around that time. My guess is that theres definitely been some re-recording on that track which to me is not a bad thing. If GNR made an album sounding like this track ill buy it in a second 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live in hope...Certainly more chance of material now Slash and Duff are with Axl, as the $$$ offers for an LP will be quite a bit higher than they would of been without them...

Ace Nova Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Good news is that they are releasing "new" stuff at least. If this goes well, who's to say they won't release other recordings in the near future? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tucknroll Posted May 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2018 I hate that they went the gene simmons route. Actually his vault is much better if you like him. I'm just disgusted today with gnr. They've forgotten where they came from. And then to not have the balls to add one in a million! Axl used to have a giant set but not so much now 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does this thing have that anyone hardcore enough to consider the $999 price tag wouldn't already have?

WestCoastStrutting Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 2 hours ago, youngswedishvinyl said: I agree that the $999 price tag is steep but the $179 one is in my opinion fairly reasonably priced! As for the content on the discs, while I think it's a shame that Cornchucker and OIM isn't on there I get why they did it. I also wish that the Arkeen songs like Crash Diet and Just Another Sunday should be included on the box set but I totally get why they aren't, they aren't GN'R songs and they have been having lots of problems with the Arkeen estate recently. Why is nobody talking about the book btw, I'd pay $99 just for that! Overall I'm happy with the box set, would've liked it even more if they put a AFD Tour show (an uncirculated one) on the BluRay but that's just icing on the cake! I was really excited to hear a polished version of "Just Another Sunday", it has always been my favorite of the unreleased demos. I had no idea there was a riff between the Gnr Camp and Arkeen estate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 That Shadow release is the vintage GNR sound. Very cool to hear. I do miss the "wake up time to play" intro from the demo. I enjoyed this on first listen way more than anything on CD. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassist4 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Im sorry but a thousand dollars is a bit steep for what they are offering in the locked and loaded set... this feels just like the vip packages the more money you can bleed out the more shit you get an i mean shit... I feel GNR or whoever is behind these sets is just fucking the fans money dry...however as gnr fans we have waited so long (soooo very long) for any type of music release that of course we are going to drool over this stuff right? i can barely afford the super deluxe set and i am PISSED AS FUCK.. that they didnt include the vinyl remaster with that set...LOL SO you have to buy the vinyl separately and if you want that cool shadow of your love t shirt you have to buy that separately as well.. so if you get the super deluxe set AND the vinyl it will come to 214 WITHOUT shipping,,,if you also buy the t shirt with the vinyl and super deluxe set that comes to 249 without shipping....Ill skip the shirt and just get the super deluxe set and vinyl... however i will NOT be able to buy anything for myself besides the things to survive for a very long time...why they couldnt have gone the metallica or led zeppelin way where they could have made an awesome box set (just 1) filled with everything and made it affordable for everyone is beyond me. so i have a question i hope someone can answer...has anyone ordered from the gnr site before? do they usually deliver in a timely manner? also does anyone know how much shipping is on these? thanks so much..and sorry again for the rant.

Cruel Intentions Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 To be honest, most of the demos and LPs are stuff I'd listen to once and then only again from time to time if I'm bored and browsing through my music. I just wouldn't ever see myself sitting there and jamming out to 30+ year old unfinished pieces that the band never cared enough to finish because they knew it wasn't album-worthy. Don't get me wrong - I would never spend $1,000 on any music box set, but I especially wouldn't for a bunch of demos that have been fixed up and remixed to sound better. Shit, the only way I'd spend over $100 was if it included new music. And by "new," I don't mean previously unreleased stuff that was recorded 30 years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sosso Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Well, THAT is a special limited edition... "Chatting with Josh Freese on the phone for five minutes: $50. Floating in a sensory-deprivation tank with Josh Freese, followed by dinner at Sizzler: $500. Getting a signed snare from A Perfect Circle‘s 2003 tour + dinner with Marilyn Manson bassist Twiggy Ramirez at Roscoe’s Chicken ‘n’ Waffles + you get to drive off with Josh Freese’s Volvo station wagon: $10,000. Taking shrooms and cruising Hollywood with Danny Carey of Tool in his Lamborghini, then having Josh Freese join your band for a month: $75,000.

I stated in several posts THAT is the most attractive piece of the whole package. If it's been done well, easily worth at least 60-70 bucks. Maybe even more if it has written content by Axl on the period, with new info and anecdotes we haven't heard from other sources.
