Plus, the casual listeners will actually forget since they never follow any of this too deeply. Right on, I figured as much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just the label making sure you don't forget when something you want to listen to is released? Gotta get those 0.0008 cents per stream in, funds are tight at GNR towers! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitchisback Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Importcds.com has a 10% off coupon right now and it is the cheapest ive seen the super deluxe edition. Ended up getting it for 123 after shipping and tax. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m on my phone and I can’t sync it to my account. https://umusic.digital/gnr/ Yep! Same with Apple Music. I already have “downloaded” the full album on my phone and on June 29th I will have the album available on my library. Today/Yesterday WTTJ from Sound City Sessions was automatically downloaded to my phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
action Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) I'm so pumped to get this! I've looked over the tracklist again, and honestly, this is a treasure trove of great stuff. Imagine putting on the blu ray version of appetite, 5.1 surround mix and freshly remastered. Going to grab a beer, close the door and enjoying the ride!

Gackt Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 It got buried under the last page, but you can add Welcome to the Jungle's '86 Sound City Session to your library now if you preordered the album on iTunes. It sounds really polished and good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid the $1000 for this and no regrets. My chest hurt when I clicked the buy button but after a week my bank account was just fine, all bills were paid, and life moved on. I am anything but "loaded as fuck." So i'm happy about it. I've spent $1000 on more stupid GNR shit over the years that you wouldn't even imagine. There are people willing to spend thousands (plural) for one or two unheard CD songs. If/When the UYI set comes out i'll be more than happy to buy that set too. I'll be waiting on @RussTCB to make a trip and listen to the set 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom-Ass Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I still haven't pulled the trigger on the super deluxe.... Just doesn't seem worth it since I already have or heard 99% of it. It is so redundant too.. Move To The City is great and all but there is 3 or 4 version of it on of the CDs.. Not sure how many in the entire box.. Not saying I won't buy it someday but definitely not a priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Locked & Loaded had been properly priced ($650) I would've bought that just to have it. But since that's overpriced and I don't feel like I need to own any of the lesser versions, I'm out. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The book is gonna be cool, the quality sounds a lot better than before, that third disc sounds awesome. The blu ray sounds dope. It seems like a decent box for what i paid for it. I'm also excited to get a somewhat new release from gnr too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killuridols Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Im backing off from even buying the digital version (which is like 20 bucks) Only got SOYL so far.... why do I need take 45 of Nightrain? These kind of questions have been popping up and making me refrain from everything. So probably I will not get it or if I do it will be in some months.... if I can find it here in the third world, as I will not pay any extra shipping or custom bollocks to have it sent from abroad.

ChristmasFnatic Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Which of the dozens of songs in the set were not heard before? I have like 20 or so bootlegs, but dont really collect everything, so I dont know which is which. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
action Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) life is all about experiences. and as they say "once you got that money it cost more now" and ain't that the truth the super deluxe version will be a special experience alright. from the sight of new GNR product, the feel of the package, the smell of the paper, the goodies, the poster, the 4CD's with appetite stuff, the blu ray.... I believe I have asked for this very product not so long ago: appetite remaster and outtakes. and here is what I wished for. shut up and take my fucking money Edited June 8, 2018 by action 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, in a way, this whole thing is "to each their own" right? I like what you're saying though and I get it. I'm not trying to discourage anyone else from buying any version of the set. I'm most certainly not trying to discourage anyone from enjoying it. You've probably got the best outlook on the set that I've seen, so good on you 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Via Spotify and the only thing that attracts me from the package is the photographic book from Axl's vault. I love photo books in good quality (smell of paper, texture, etc) so I'm looking forward to have that one but I'm in no hurry, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
