Live Like a Suicide Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 1 hour ago, Rovim said: in what way Gn'R is like Scientology? I think this box set is going to eventually come out. Axl is always late to release product. Axl is always late the same way Scientology is always late to deliver you super powers upon discarding your thetans.

axlfan88 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) It would make more sense to release it in November, in order to get better sales in Black Friday and Christmas. Edited August 1, 2022 by axlfan88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's GN'R after all... Good point - there's not a huge (as in millions of units) demand for it anyway; the hardcore fans who will actually but it will still pay up next year, the year after, whenever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see them doing UYI in same year. Hopefully (now this is asking for trouble 😂) this gives a new album a half decent shot last quarter ‘22 *Narrator's voice* "Needless to say, last quarter '22 came and went without a 'new album'." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangerInThisTown Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) I for one don't believe in a random release date for no reason, in like, November. What's the point in releasing this boxset if not for the anniversary. If it's not coming out September 17th I don't see it coming out this year, if ever until maybe the 35th Anniversary in 4 years.

So it's possible it will be this year or next year for example in a completely unrelated date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yes, I don't see it happening. Edited August 1, 2022 by StrangerInThisTown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They work at a snails pace and then still are going to only come out with some underwhelming release like live shows -but without the video- even though they have it, just wait. I don't even have high hopes that this is gonna be that great. Once we realize we are waiting for: a slightly better audio than original remaster, some demos we've all heard, and audio only live recordings, and physical perks no one cares about, then..the wait is not that bad.

The AFD box set did have a bunch of cool shit in it, alongside some of the useless shit like the 5.1 thing. In Gn'R land, any product is better than no product if we're talking about actual music and video. and I agree, there is no pattern that I can detect. Maybe the only pattern is shit might get released if Axl is in the mood and the product is actually completed. You never know what Axl might do or not do is how I look at it at least which always leaves a chance for something cool and important for us to happen as long the band is still active/semi active. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I agree the tatts and rings were OTT….the 5.1 disc was absolutely brilliant IMO. I get it’s not for everyone and maybe it could have had a stand-alone release but it was far from being the biggest waste of space in the set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintari Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) I want an official release of ALL the home videos and behind the scenes stuff that the band filmed during the whole Illusions tour. Documentary style, with interviews, all the story lines... everything. If they have official, select tracks that were professionally recorded live, throw those in as well to spice it up but it's unnecessary. And on the bonus disc, the entire Paris show in all it's unedited glory. If they released something like that, I'd pretty much pay whatever they were asking.

What are you talking about? 5.1 is amazing. Have you ever heard it? Plug in some headphones and be amazed by the remix, even in regular stereo, it's AFD like you've NEVER heard it before.

Chester 524 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 since this is the Illusions we are talking about, isn't the most proper way for them to be celebrated is by anticipating a certain time, only to be LATE???????? and btw, I listened to the 5.1 version of AFD in my car today. can't tell a freaking difference between that and the AFD cd I've owned since 1988. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzyjim Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Don't you need special equipment for the 5.1, ie 5 speakers and 1 subwoofer?.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echomarika Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 They should just release it on a random year random date with no prior notice, that way it's a big surprise for everyone and we're all happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't the 5.1 cd actually a Blu-ray? How did you play it in the car? I've actually never played mine as I assumed it was just a Blu-ray and I don't have a player..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
