GNR_RNR Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Personally I really liked the selects. They represented a rare instance of the band producing something for the fans during a dry spell when no other content was coming out. It'd be nice if we could start getting a "Selects" between the legs of tours to showcase the best performances. HOWEVER the fact that there used to be countless fan channels that produced far more content of a much higher quality is simply ridiculous. GNR has such a passionate fanbase that would be more than happy to comb through old performances and find the best (no fan would have picked mostly 2018-2019 for instance) yet they are ignored. As always, huge potential going to waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We love Axl Rose Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 They need to upload classic era selects. Even 2006 or 2010 shows would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always, huge potential going to waste. I tried so hard to like them but I just couldn't get over the poor mixes. There's fan shot phone videos that sounded better. And I 100% agree with the bolded statement. I really liked all of those, esp @Gibbo @FRANSAD and the Noise Pollution channel (sorry don't remember his username). Lot of good quality content on those channels back then. 8 hours ago, axlvai said: Gimme the mtrfckr UYI shows! Yes 100% 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just plain bad. My comments on this, not that anybody has asked or will be overly interested! But nonetheless: 1. Axl's vocals are on the whole terrible though Shadow Of Your Love sounds okay. 2. It is difficult to determine just exactly what look Axl is going for here. Chelsea boots, ripped jeans, tshirt, leather jacket, shirt wrapped around the waste, gloves, bling, single fingerless glove, bandana, scarf, and backwards cap. 3. Knocking On Heaven's Door is so boring that it is enough to make one consider actually doing so! Full of even more guitar wank and little substance. 4. The version of Paradise City is so fucking bad that it is hardly recognisable. If this was the first time I heard the song, I likely wouldn't want to hear it again. Vocally it is unbelievably weak. But it can be best summed up by noting that whistle that should announce the crescendo, comes in late, rendering it meaningless. Much like most of the performances. 5. If this video was my first encounter with GNR, I would not be rushing back. Me and a mate are supposed to see GNR live in Glasgow in summer, though neither of us expect it to happen. Having now watched all the selects, I'm hoping that full refunds are issued as this is frankly bollocks on the whole. The odd moment in amongst the shite gives ya hope, but that's about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Bird Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 The selects were a great idea. The realization was terrible and a total fail. Not only half-arsed by the guys who are responsible for this but seemingly completely clueless. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jamillos Posted March 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2021 My stance is quite logical: if the Selects were done thoroughly, i.e. a) with proper audio and video + cam mix, b) chosen sensitively, meaning some 2016 footage, where the whole thing was new, the band was on fire, and Axl could sing… then I’d be all for it, obviously. What we’ve actually gotten only showed us once again the incompetence of the PR team. I doubt the musicians themselves have even seen it. Any management that repeatedly releases something like this clearly don’t know what they’re doing. And they’re definitely not doing the band any favour – quite the contrary. And I refuse to believe that they’re, you know, keeping the best stuff for a DVD. That would be a really lame way to do it, plus the DVD should have already been released at least during 2020. No, this makes no sense. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNRfanMILO Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 The Brazil shows from 2016 were on NA levels. Really good stuff. Axl was ill (yeah, for real ) for the first ones (Argentina, Peru and Chile) but he recovered and was firing on all cylinders for the Brazil dates. Really, really looking forward to this one! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positive feedback and excitement for these 2016 Selects and it hasn’t even happened yet. Who would’ve thought giving us what we want (2016 shows) would cause such a reaction?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 The more 2016 the better, and Welcome to the Jungle from 2016 should sound especially good considering it's usually one of the stronger songs for Axl in general. Cautiously optimistic for this round! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
