Right Next Door To Hell? A song literally written about hating a woman? Canceled. You Ain't The First? A misogynistic redneck song? Canceled. Back Off Bitch? OMG don't even. Canceled. Garden Of Eden? We got racial violence, and who'll cast the first stone? Racist. Canceled. Pretty Tied Up? That woman is a free spirit who should be celebrated, not degraded. Canceled. You Could Be Mine? Like, your property? Canceled. Attitude? Abusing women is not 'punk'. Canceled. Look At Your Game, Girl? That's literally like using Hitler's artwork as your album cover.

Scooby Doo, Looney Tunes and Daddies taking their 'little girl to their first gig', to hear all those family-friendly lyrics! People are pretty selective when it comes to 'cancelling' things it seems. Not sure how GNR have managed it, but they seem to have dodged it all pretty well, so far! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has managers too, doesn't he? Hopefully nothing like TB, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphus Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 It's really sad that 5+ years after the reunion the only things that are in the works are reissues of 30-35 year old records. Ridiculously overpriced of course. Who doesn't prefer a belt buckle, bandana, replica temporary tattoos, replica ticket stubs and a few buttons over new music? You all must be crazy not to celebrate the great work of this band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You all must be crazy not to celebrate the great work of this band. And then, if you sign Spotify, you'll get it for "free"! What a shame! So much hidden material, maybe GNR is the band with the most material put together in the world, but non released. Imagine how may concerts are pro-shot recorded (at least more than 100), how many songs with vocals (at least 50), how many instrumentals (more than 100), how many song ideas like "The Plague" or riffs (more than 100). They could've release a real size book with all the NITL litographs and it'd be gold! They could've release a picture / history book like Reckles Road and it'd be gold! How? Why?

I mean should he get some money from this if it was him? surely he saw a paycheck by now?? That's what I was thinking - as far as I recall, Steven said he wasn't sure if it's him on drums - and I thought, well surely it should be clear who's on drums because if it was Steven he would have to be credited and paid for it, so how can it even be a case of uncertainty who it was? 3 hours ago, Atlas19 said: Sure!!!

Gordon Comstock Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Why would Steven (or Izzy) get paid specifically for SOYL? I assume they'd just get a flat percentage of royalties from all AFD sales (remaster and original) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Boy Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 But either way, if the record company releases a single which they've played on then they would surely be informed of that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. The only people credited with writing SOYL are Axl, Izzy and Paul. Steven might just get bulk cheques every so often for albums sales, singles/downloads, radio play, etc. so he probably wouldn't be paid specifically for SOYL.

Move To The City (Acoustic) is credited to Guns N' Roses & Chris Weber. But on wiki, SOYL is credited to Axl, Izzy and Paul, probably because those are the credits for the Hollywood Rose version.

Only songs that aren't the 5 are the post afd demos such as back off bitch. And the credits of the remaster aren't close to right. The 7" vinyl is the remastered version though. Are you talking about credits in the L&L box/super deluxe edition? Weird that they'd be different... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamillos Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I didn't even know SOYL was included on the 2020 Greatest Hits re-issue (or that there was one). FWIW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW It’s funny to me that the non crowd noise version of SOYL was always one of my favorites, and then the “touched up” version ends up on the GH re-issue. It’s sounds completely out of place with those drums and the new guitar work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They remastered AFD and both Illusions. They did GNR Lies too back in 99 and if u don't wanna pay above 100 $ for each CD u can download them from the Russian tracker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a great time to be alive. TWAT It really was, it was blank tapes a go go back then, I would spend entire nights copying tapes swapped at school that day. I was 12 in 91 and it was mostly the older brothers of my friends who bought the tapes or got the live bootlegs we traded. Use your illusion 1 & 2 came my way in oct or nov 91 on blank tapes, no track listing! I had to get that later. But when I look at the list of albums I got my hands on that year in 1991 it’s ridiculous. Maybe the golden era for rock music. I had some original cassettes but mostly blank copies of the following albums released in 91: Use your illusion 1 - GnR Use your illusion 2 - GnR 1916 - Motorhead Uncle Anesthesia - Screaming Trees Nevermind - Nirvana Recurring - Spacemen 3 Green Mind - Dinosaur Jr Out of Time - REM The Real Ramona - Throwing Muses Goat - Jesus Lizard Gothic - Paradise Lost Spiderland - Slint Arise - Sepultura Temple of the Dog - Temple of the Dog God Fodder - Neds Atomic Dustbin Gish - Smashing Pumpkins 13 point program to destroy America - The Nation of Ulysses Baby teeth - Therapy? Every good boy deserves fudge - Mudhoney To mother - Babes in toyland steady diet of nothing - Fugazi Blue lines - Massive attack Black album - Metallica III - Sebadoh Ten - Pearl Jam Just for a day - Slowdive Screamadelica - Primal Scream Trompe le monde- The Pixies Badmotorfinger - Soundgarden Blood sugar sex magik - Red hot chilli peppers Raise - Swervedriver Weld - Neil Young No pocky for kitty - Superchunk Loveless - My Bloody Valentine Into the great wide open - tom petty That’s a ridiculous amount of brilliant albums in the year of 1991. There’s a lot more I haven’t listed, demos, live bootlegs, other official releases. But there was so much good music at that time it was hard to keep up....

I know every generation says the music they grew up with was better than “the sh&t the kids listen to nowadays,” but I’m about your age (I was 11 in ‘91), and for our generation it’s absolutely true! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
