Houdini8585 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 If this has been mentioned before or not in the correct place remove/delete. The 1st thing I thought when seeing the cover for the single Absurd was the style/font that was similar to the UYI era. Also the G’N’FN’R logo from the UYI era on the single cover. Since this year is the 30th Anniversary of the double LP, do you all think there is a chance that their will be an anniversary edition and is Absurd linked to this. Or possible a UYI 3 & 4 along with re-release remastered of UYU I & II…? Since there is no promotion of any kind of release before the September 17th 2021 date (maybe dude to the pandemic) this is probably not be the case. But who knows….https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Guns+N+Roses+Absurd&client=safari&hl=en&prmd=niv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj6hIvtyrPyAhXihv0HHWWcDHwQ_AUoAnoECAIQAg&biw=326&bih=481&dpr=2#imgrc=9PxMaPd0f30xnM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimiRose Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 No. Absurd was written 9 years after UYI was released by a completely different version of the band. More likely just continuity in fonts that they use. Hardschool has also been sound checked several times and is on the setlist. Who knows why they chose absurd or whether it's linked to a new album or a stand alone release or what. But it definitely has zero to do with UYI.

Jakey Styley Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I think it makes sense. I'd be shocked if they're doing a whole album, easier to just do UYI anniversary with a few new songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyp44 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I would love a Use Your Illusion 3 with unreleased GnR tunes with a sweet box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I guess it would make a lot of sense to use a song like Absurd (so different sounding and from an irrelevant era) to promote a UYI box set 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sosso Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) I'm still wondering about this rumoured UYI Box set. All we have is wishful thinking from a couple of die hard Fans (plus the fact that an AfD Box set was released) We have zero evidence about such a release...

Was just throwing out random scenarios. Since the style of the single art work is a lot like UYI era art work. So wondered if there is a clue of what’s coming up? Also, UYI had some pretty whacked songs, so making part 3 with Absurd featured feels like it could fit well. Just a thought…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't "new songs" on a UYI re-issue would be stuff like Ain't Goin' Down, Down On The Street & Beer And A Cigarette? Beta saying Absurd "will be on the CD" indicates they're doing an album, or maybe an EP, but it doesn't have anything to do with a UYI anniversary. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we know the record label has approached @troccoli about possible content and ideas, so it's at least being discussed as a potential release officially.

I don't know, I didn't save the screenshot, she might've said "part of the cd" or something like that. But it didn't seem like it was part of a reissue (plus Axl introduced it as a new song) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they release other $1000 box Sets with the risk of selling half of them on discount? What do you think the label’s cost per unit was for the stuff that was thrown into the box? Lithos, banners, buttons, etc?? They’re probably still making $ at 399 and they certainly made $ breaking open some boxes and releasing the vinyl. It’s just that they also capitalized on people buying them at the full price Maybe a UYI reissue won’t be a 1k box, but there definitely will be a high priced option with a bunch of extra stuff if they do decide to release one.

Reasonably priced with decent content it would do fine. I've not heard anything about it not happening, just that it was being officially looked at and there had been no further updates one way or the other.

surforia Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Maybe they use the same font because the UYI version of the band has the same big 3 (after Izzy left) as there is right now, and that version of the partnership owns that font/logo?
