reayj2003 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Working my way through it all… immediate thoughts why don’t they play Knocking on heavens door like they did in 92? Get Melissa to do the Tracy & Roberta stuff? Also..it seems there’s a real disconnect between this release & the current band. They are currently on the road and the tour has no connection with this pretty seismic release whatsoever. Lastly…how many weeks until we get a new song as suggested by Slash 🙏🏻 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reayj2003 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) Also hilarious given the limited output of GN’R that so much of the live songs is actually a rehash of previously released stuff.

Can anyone remember which Axl interview he talked about drums and how in retrospect he didn’t like them. Think it was on reference to both appetite & UYI.

reayj2003 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Other thought..Axl on Ritz is incredible. His looks, movement & voice is just other worldly. Mother Nature is a git. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Great seeing new stuff released.. I have watched some unboxing videos.. Not sure i want to part with cash given the price. The Vinyl option cost a bomb and the records themselves are in paper sleeves without plastic lining? ..the CD option seems the way to go, and cost almost half as much as the Vinyl option. If i am honest, i wish they would release the Blu-ray on the live show on it's own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trin9498 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Duff sounds so good on the Ritz show. They really need to turn the bass up again in the live shows. The base wasn’t noticeable on Chinese Democracy either. It’s key to GNR sound IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Just finished watching the show (thanks YouTube!) Highlights for me are Don't Cry, You Ain't The First and that FANTASTIC version of Estranged. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledge Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 The site for sanity in Australia has listed a best of the Ritz and best of Chicago on vinyl for late January release. No idea how credible it is since I haven't shopped there in many years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manicstreet Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I always assumed Izzy enjoyed it until the St Louis incident. He never was a wild man onstage. I think if that would have not occurred Izzy would have at the very least stayed on for another leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_seiya_aka_buckethead Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) something i noticed is that the YCBM performance is cut exactly like in the music video therefore this whole show mustve been edited 30 years ago ready to just be rescanned to 4k, color graded and synced with the proper audio track Edited November 13, 2022 by saint_seiya_aka_buckethead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's hard to tell sometimes because the company is struggling so just sells anything. Their price for the boxset is more than jbhifi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very thankful it showed up on YouTube in perfect quality. It made me kinda wish the whole UYI your had been done with just the core band, but it is what it is. Still thankful we got to see this show at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By late 1991, I think Axl thought that bigger venues needed a bigger sound and more musicians. Like the Rolling Stones had backup singers and horns on their stadium tours. It was fine for some songs. But most of the time it looked GnR look silly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
