DeadSlash Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 There are about 10 different "news articles" on this, it's interesting that none mention he denounces "radicals and racists" in the 3rd verse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintari Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Let's wait until it's ACTUALLY erased off every digital and physical copy of the ACTUAL record it was released on before jumping off the collective bridge, shall we? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverburst80 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Just as i suspected all its done is bring unwanted attention to the song again. If it was left alone no-one would have said shit, i see absolutely no point in erasing a song thats been accessible for nearly 30 years.

bigpoop Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 What they should have done is just not include any Lies stuff at all. This is supposed to be the Appetite box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think there is attention for leaving it out, imagine how much there would be if it was there. A 2018 release using the n-word and the (apparently worst by 2018 PC society) f-word?!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 There is a thread detailing the numerous songs that are missing from the box set. And many of them are not readily available on an official release such as Lies the way OIAM is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remcognr Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 In this interview with Rolling Stone magazine in February 2000, Axl already stated he wanted to remove it from future releases of GN’R Lies. Because he believed “they’re too easily misinterpreted”. The article mentions that the track will be deleted from future pressings, though that never happened. (I looked at every single new copy I could find in stores since 😉.) So maybe this is the reason behind it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killuridols Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Was there a press release to go along this box set? It's strange the negative noise the package is receiving, because it is an AFD release after all, they didn't have obligation to include any Lies song on it This is a hole in the promotion, or is it on purpose? Hard to assume they wanted to do it this way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) Alt.Nation picked it up from this forum and then other outlets picked it from there because it's a good story for them. 7 minutes ago, remcognr said: In this interview with Rolling Stone magazine in February 2000, Axl already stated he wanted to remove it from future releases of GN’R Lies.
