vloors Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 3 minutes ago, Blackstar said: https://ultimateclassicrock.com/guns-n-roses-your-illusion-box-set/ There's good news for anyone who was crestfallen when the 30th anniversary of Guns N' Roses' Use Your Illusion albums came and went without any announcement of a deluxe reissue: Slash says a belated box set should arrive this summer. "It got delayed by the pandemic but it is coming out, I think this summer," Slash said during an interview with Biff Bam Pop! editor-in-chief Andy Burns. "There's a bunch of cool live stuff on it, a couple shows. The Ritz from the early ‘90s and a show that we did in Las Vegas back in 1989, I think it was. And it’s actually the show that I met my ex-wife at." He appeared to be referencing a May 16, 1991 show at the Ritz, the third and final secret warm-up gig before Guns N' Roses embarked on their massive Use Your Illusion Tour. Axl Rose famously broke his foot after taking a flying leap off a speaker while performing "You Could Be Mine," for which the band was recording a music video. Slash may have gotten his Vegas dates slightly mixed up, though: He met his ex-wife, Perla Ferrar, backstage after a Vegas show in 1992, not 1989.

Popular Post fernandoGNR Posted December 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2021 So we'll finally be able to hear the original not overdubbed performances of Nightrain, Rocket Queen and Paradise City from Live Era 87-93, which are from Las Vegas 92.

CAFC Nick Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Incredible that even the band’s lead guitarist can say it’s coming out and I still won’t believe it until I see it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackparker123 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Nice to see this finally announced. Slightly concerned that studio takes and demos haven't been mentioned yet though. Also the Perfect Crime documentary on Blu Ray surely has to be a no brainer? They could make it exclusive to the boxset, that would help shift plenty of copies.

To be honest - there is so little material I really REALLY hope they milk every last drop. 🤣 Edited December 13, 2021 by DTJ80 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool! That is pretty awesome actually! I have always wondered what that version of RQ sounds like unaltered, with Axl's original vocals as well as the rhythm guitar recording intact 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually no, I think he’s referring to Meegan, which may well have been 1989 Edit.

If they were smart, they'd sell the footage to Netflix so they could put together a Perfect Crime mini-series to coincide with the box set. But they are not smart... 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevergotochurch Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) Things I’m hoping for: A properly mixed/mastered version of Ain’t Goin’ Down Alternate mixes of the songs recorded during the Illusions sessions that ended up on the Spaghetti Incident, but with Izzy’s original guitar tracks intact instead of Gilby’s overdubs. I’m not sure which Spaghetti Incident songs were recorded during the Illusions sessions and originally had Izzy playing on them, but I’ve always heard it’s at least a few songs Edited December 14, 2021 by nevergotochurch 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special guest performance by Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon. Axl mentions how the chorus to 'Right Next Door To Hell' was written about his next door neighbor. Slash says they are filming the video for 'You Could Be Mine' for the new Terminator 2 movie. After 'You Could Be Mine,' Axl asks the crowd, "Have you ever heard the expression break a leg? Well, I think I just did." Axl actually injures his heel and is forced to wear a brace on it for the first few weeks of the UYI tour. Before 'Don't Cry,' Axl says how Shannon's band was covering the song a few years back. 'Welcome To The Jungle' is dedicated to the 3rd Street Hell's Angels.

mystery Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Pretty great news and I'm glad they've decided to acknowledge the UYI era which I'm sure a lot of people are nostalgic for. I wonder if they'll play more songs from that era next year. Also it might be a year late but it kind of fits since 1992 was right in the heart of that era 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Boy Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Ffs. Naturally it's Vegas '92 not '89. They wouldn't be so kind as to give us new AFD era pro-shot footage. Plus I don't think any of them want to revisit their situation in 1989, only us crazy fans want to see that, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
