When I heard the new intro at the Vegas show, I was like" well fuck. Way to improve what I already love Slash & Duff!". Then soon after someone on here was like "um, they didn't improve anything, they just copied the bridge to the beginning". I feel really dumb lol I love the original repeating bridge in Better. It highlights how amazing the band at the time of recording was. Very hard, I dig. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps the part people are talking about is buried to where I didn't make the connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay410 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I have really enjoyed these, and while improved, the mixes on these are brutal my god please send me the stems I will do it for free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share Posted July 10, 2021 The last 2 have been pretty good, it's no surprise the best selects have been from 2016. My Michelle and TWAT were the highlights, it's great we finally got a pro-shot song with Steven. If they do a North America 2016 compilation, hopefully they include OTGM with Adler, and Patience from Glendale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged from Mexico City (night 2) comes to my mind. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sosso Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Slash's Better solo was very close to Robin's original. Great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-Ass Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 This might be the worst mix yet (aside from Locomotive).. The drums are obnoxious.. Terrible in Brownstone and even worse in the YCBM intro so far... Jesus.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-Ass Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 The mix even sucks on My Michelle.. This band literally can't do anything right.. I had high hopes after the last Selects but this mess sure isn't going build any excitment for the tour... I am sure it was a great show (Axl sounds pretty good) but again a terrible mix and they fail to capture the energy of the crowd which I am sure was absolutely out of this stratosphere I'd like to think they are saving all the great production and mix for some kind of offcial release.. But it has been 5 1/2 years.. Can't even finish this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree about the mix though, the sound on most selects has been poor. It would've been great to get one of the US performances with Steven, but it's cool we got one at all tbh. This wasn't as good as the other 2016 selects but it's still miles better than the 2018-19 videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live Like a Suicide Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I hope they release an Australian selects next. They were really good on that leg, despite it being in 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats gonna sound like Disneyland, we‘ll get a proper Mickey fest… I take that post back, that was a really good Selects! TWAT was fucking awesome! It makes such a difference when Slash bothers to learn the CD solos and plays them the way they sounded on the record instead of just playing some fast scales! And 2016 Axl was just really good. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
