thunderram Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 1 hour ago, We love Axl Rose said: I was hoping that we would hear live versions of Coma, Locomotive, Breakdown, Garden of Eden, etc. But here are only songs that we have heard many times before. Locomotive was only played a few times in total, and none of those shows are represented in any of the releases. IIRC, Breakdown was never performed live so there was zero chance of that. Not even sure GoE was ever performed live during that era either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamillos Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I wonder when the NR vocals will be from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) Honestly I think the original version of NR is perfect as is, but if Axl wants to fuck with it that’s fine as long as he doesn’t pull a George Lucas and try to erase the original version from existence. Looking forward to the other bonus content (including the Blu-ray). Shame the 5.1 audio got rejected. Hopefully it’ll leak someday. Aside from that this actually looks pretty decent imo.

James Bond Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 It's funny because on the Live Era/Tokyo recording Gilby comes in at the wrong time in the intro, and here we have another instance of the guitars being totally off in the intro. So both official live recordings have botched intros. Somehow it feels fitting for this band! Nice to have what'll feel like more a proper "Live Era" as it should have been. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakdown was performed live in December of 1991 and Garden Of Eden was performed in Austin, TX on February 23, 1993. I was at the Austin show and almost shit an X-Mas tree when Garden Of Eden was performed INSTEAD of Mr. Brownstone. THOSE were THE DAYS to be a GNR fan! In 2022, not so much...

They should leave original NR on there and include the new one as a bonus. Looking at it it looks like they are replacing the original album version with this updated 2021 one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknroll41 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I just looked at the vinyl versions and see that TB stole my idea of using the UYI color schemes on different pieces of the school of athens painting (like my old avatar).

rocknroll41 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 BRB gonna go purchase a download of the old November Rain just in case Axl turns into George Lucas and erases it from existence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coma16 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Just listened to YCBM and i think it's great! Live versions don't need to be perfect, that's part of the beauty of it. I doubt I'll purchase any of these versions (I already own both albums on CD and vinyl), but i am happy they are releasing it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AFD one that had the vinyls and CDs together received criticism for how expensive it was so I guess they just didn’t wanna repeat that.

Btw funny how they chose YCBM as a promo, where Axl sounds quite weak and screwed up the lyrics. But oh well, it's still something. Typical GNR in this sense.

guitarpatch Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 The next question is if they will ever reissue The Spaghetti Incident/Live Era or do they go straight to a Chinese Democracy box set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjapie24 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Gonna be honest, these two concerts are kinda not enough. Most of the songs played between the two are the same. We don’t even get that many, if any, songs that we haven’t heard or seen live before. We know they have every show on the damn tour recorded so it wouldn’t be hard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
