tbaugerud Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 The most surprising thing to me is that this huge advertisement effort came out of the blue. No leaked info, no insiders etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

action Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 guys, the website showcases "shadow of your love" with, to my ears, fresh guitar work. in any case, it is music related more than tour related. I'd wager my shoes that it's gonna be an appetite boxset with rare 1987-era tracks. and that is fucking awesome!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocco Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) By the way, I just realized that the gnr.fm Version of Shadow Of Your Love is tuned 1/2 down (EDIT: compared to all other Versions of Shadow Of Your Love), and even though there are ways of altering the speed and pitch of old recordings in the studio, I think that at least the Bass and Guitar Parts are new reocordings. The Drums might be Stevens Original Takes because you obviously don't have to alter the pitch of drums, and Axls Vocals might be either re-recordings or the original takes artificially tuned down half a step.

Or it could just be a recording from the time. Aren't all the songs tuned down 1/2 a step anyway, why wouldn't they record it like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So therefore they implentmented it more where market data showed it would be most heavily utilized? Japan is great market to GNR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct all the songs are in 1/2 step down tuning since late 1986. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is stuff in the vault that has never made it to bootleg and that's what they could be using. That being said, live era was redubbed in parts.

papashaun Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Everyone, save yourself some speculation....just go to www.gnr.fm on Midnight: 5/04/18....that's when the countdown should end....and I'm sure we'll get the "official announcement" then.

I think it could be an old studio track which never saw the light of day, but man am i starting to doubt. The guitars are super crisp, and i'm starting to see how others think they can hear modern Axl in there. Really tough to say though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl_morris Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Guitar sound crisp but that is definitely 86 Axl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikki9 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) havent read all the discussion so I dont know if this has been sorted out already....anyway.... the map points to record stores! I checked Italy and they point to Discoteca Laziale in Rome, near Stazione Termini, and Mondadori store in Milan Piazza Duomo and Feltrinelli in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele! edit: or maybe its just where they put up ad/billboards...cause one of the London spot is the Roundhouse in Camden!

Yeah, i lean towards it being an old studio recording which has been remastered, but it seems toned down from all the other demos, and Axl's vocals are also noticeably cleaner (from the small part we can judge). Though it also sounds a lot more powerful in the clean register than what Axl could muster in live concert settings today, but that doesn't necessarily translate to studio and digital magic.

Evil Ash Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 so the band that released UYI as 2 disks so people could buy one and copy the other one from friends instead of releasing a more expensive doulbe album, is now gonna release a $650 box set ? It's not really within the spirit of GnR so I'm hoping it's gonna be something else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
