At least SOYL is at the end of a side, so its easier to hit stop instead of skip it wth my shitty record player. Hard Schools lyrics would make it a no brainer for inclusion on a retrospective of the classic era like GH. Oh he'll be thrilled to see this then! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's not in the Guitar World article, but he had said it in an interview after Live Era was released. And that wasn't the only problem in the first pressing: Slash: But, originally, we had guitars going in the wrong direction. I said, 'There's no left-handed players in this band!' I mean, it was really that green. I was looking at the picture of the Tokyo Dome in the CD sleeve, and I was going, 'I could've sworn the red tapestry was on the other side of the Dome.' But it's been a long time, so I let it go. Someone got a magnifying glass and found out that Marlboro and Coca-Cola signs were spelled backwards [laughs]. And I was like, 'I knew the blue tapestry was on my side of the stage!' Other than that, there's this picture of Axl that's the other way; someone brought to my attention that his tattoo is on the other side of his body. But the only problem I could relate to was which direction the guitar necks were going. Other than that, everything else is flyers from the old days, most of which I made. I remember poster-boarding those things all over the place when we were doing gigs, and going out and handing them out [laughs]. But the main problem on the first version of the live record was that the sequence was backwards. And when it came out-800,000 of them went out-Disc 1 was Disc 2, and Disc 2 was Disc 1. And then there was a loop on 'Paradise City,' where it just kept saying, 'Las Vegas.' [Laughs] And I found out about it when I was in Miami. I get this phone call, and I'm like, 'You're kidding me!' A one-in-a-million shot that that would ever happen, and it happens to us [laughs]. But it is a collector's item, because when they made the new one they changed the new cover around a little bit, so anybody who has the old one, hold on to it.

Not even a new version of a CD track or ONE brand new song makes this 100% not interesting imo. That's a pretty fair take. It's odd that SOYL made it on but not a single CD track. I'd really rather they put something actually new on this. Would buy in a second. Although I guess that 'Greatest Hits' are aimed more at casual fans than anything. Part of me wonders if Hardschool was intended to be on here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alstonuk Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 A brand new double compilation featuring ISE, Brownstone, some of the UYI stuff such as Estranged and maybe Better and CD would have been far better. My biggest gripe has always been the amount of covers, which whilst hits, are hardly representative of the band; Ain’t it Fun and SFTD in particular.

Freightrain Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Fuck All we want is new stuff from this band but hey! they realeased a fart that was recorded on '88 so let's give them some more money for the same shit we've hearing the last 30 fkn' years! I hope they are really working on something for this year besides a fkn re-released GH ...now on vinyl (wow) , with a wrong sided slash on the cover.

Stress Fracture Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 When they reformed, the obvious bet was that a new compilation with two new tracks would appear sometime in 2016. So in 2020 here’s what you get. From Hollywood! Guns N’ Roses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
