RussTCB Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Hey everyone- If possible, please try to take the Shadow of Your Love discussion here:http://www.mygnrforum.com/topic/220301-your-thoughts-on-the-shadow-of-your-love-single/?page=4 That way we can keep discussion of the single separate from discussion of the boxed set.

Amir Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) I’m most excited about getting remastered versions of the November Rain and Jumpin’ Jack Flash demos. Not fussed about Shadow of Your Love, curious what The Plague and New Work Tune sound like (thought the former is less than a minute long). There’s about twenty tracks I want to hear (mostly the Sound City sessions and live recordings, not arsed about remastered Appetite or Lies), so if could buy them individually off iTunes it’d be about twenty quid, but I have a feeling a lot of tracks will be Album Only so I’ll likely end up paying £30. Shame we’ll almost certainly never get a good quality recording of the acoustic version of One in a Million, always preferred that to the electric Lies cut. Thinking about it now, bit disappointed they couldn’t get We’re An American Band remastered, but that’s probably because the original recording wasn’t in great shape: I’d be excited to hear more demos of November Rain along with YCBM and Estranged if they ever did a UYI boxset.

AFD5 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 No doubt the pirated cd's will be for sale at most car boot sales this summer. If you've a printer you'll no doubt be able to print the flyers & pictures yourself. No doubt the rings & patches will be for sale on ebay. I also wouldnt be surprised to see the box on ebay either, all for a fraction of the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply cannot believe there's no way to get them other wise. I personally have no use for anything else offered. They literally went from me giving them at least $650 to $0 lol if they sold all the vinyl both 12" & 7" as a stand alone set with nothing else what value would you put on it ?

KURT19 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I spent part of yesterday trying to justify $650...and almost convinced myself that I would buy it. This morning I’m thrilled to say that they just saved me $999 fucking dollars! Thanks GnFnR 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was ready to give them $650 to get all the 12" LPs in the Locked & Loaded set. Seeing as Locked & Loaded is incredibly over priced, I was hoping for at least the option to buy all the 12" LPs separate. I would've happily paid $35-$50 each to get them separate from the set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litti Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 "unreleased songs" what a joke. There's only 2 songs that I haven't heard. You could easily say they are ALL unreleased if you want to get technical about it I'm waiting for the Super Duper Deluxe boxset and I want One In A Million on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinaleblood Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I think now we know for sure that a recording of YCBM from those days doesn't actually exist. I think Marc Canter already said that, as far as he knew, there wasn't, but this tracklist makes it "official". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litti Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 This is all Duff's fault, he's the one who went to business schools and convinced Axl and Slash to turn in to a money hungry cows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycgunner Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Let me preface this post with the statement that I love Gn’R more than any band. Still do despite all their squandered opportunities. I am excited for this music. The bootlegs I have always been shit quality. Glad to have it in the high sound quality that they deserve I am debating on the physical super deluxe package for $180 or just the music, which is $28.50 at Amazon. Appetite For Destruction [Explicit] (Super Deluxe Edition) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CQSXPCV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Nud7Ab135Z83N No way I’d pay a $1k for that box. It’s marginally cool but I (and I think most) would want to get these songs on their phone ASAP. I haven’t owned a CD player or a computer with cd Rom for at least 6 years takikg my savings from Lock N Loaded and will go to Vegas for NIN’s trio of shows there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tucknroll Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I was all set to spend the 179 last night but thought I'd sleep on it. This morning I'm over it and don't think I'm buying ANY of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johannes Climacus Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 What about The plague and New York tune ? Any story on these songs ? Are they real songs or some upgrated jams ? I'm surprised that I don't see some excitment here about these... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzagbigbag Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Well, I don't think that the price of the box is the problem. In fact I think the price is pretty ok if you take into account what a lot of us pay seperately on a regular basis for such merch and memorabilia summed up in the box The real problem is that you are forced to buy the box (including expensive nonsense you are not interested in) if you want to get the vinyl records. This sucks big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadsy Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I'm fairly certain that those people who want to own bits and pieces but not the whole box will get their opportunity if they hang out for 3-6 months, that shit is gonna end up all over eBay and wherever else and you'll get your chance! Sit tight I reckon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draguns Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 GNR is my all-time favorite band. However, I laughed at the $1,000 price tag this morning. Even $180 for songs that I have or heard previously as demos is a bit much. They seem to forget that their main fanbase is in their 30s & 40s. Right when people have families or starting families along with having a mortgage, car payments, saving for college/retirement, etc. I'm on the fence for $180 and possibly a no. For concert tickets, it's one thing since those are expensive for other bands and music artists, unfortunately. For this, there was no need unless they had included several more discs that are concerts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GS67 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Anything on the iTunes super deluxe that is missing from the box set that is kinda a big deal ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
