You know any pro worth their salt would love to add GnR to their resumé, and make a load of cash to boot. That’s not how management works. They had Irving Azoff. He’s the top guy. Fact is that this is how Axl wants the band to operate. No one is going to tell or manage him differently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not going to complain since they are actually doing something for once. But I would like to see GNR join up with Nugs. Put all their live stuff on there. They could cash in on all the live material just sitting around while also pleasing most every fan. I do hope they also do something with unreleased UYI songs. I know not everything could make it on CDs but would be cool if they did even a flash drive again with stuff not included on discs. Ain’t Goin Down, the potential You Could Be Mine demo pre 91, Perfect Crime 86 Live or if there was an early days demo. West Arkeen demos. UYI Outakes. There’s a lot of potential bonuses that could be used. Hopefully some of that stuff gets proper treatment somewhere down the line if it isn’t here. [B]But if they aren’t going to include Aint Goin Down on this. It makes me wonder if they intend to redo it as a “new song”[/B] I honestly wouldn't mind if they went the Van Halen route and repurposed/re-recorded some of those old, unreleased songs as proper finished songs on a "new" album. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were also the warm up shows for the UYI tour and the Ritz is intertwined with the band’s history. I believe Shannon Hoon makes an appearance at this show as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Shannon Hoon makes an appearance at this show as well "The third and last secret warm-up gig for the UYI tour. 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." gnrontour.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would have been a no brainier. Pick the best 5 oldGNR demos, and the 6 best CD2 demos and re do them as a new album. There’d be something for everyone on that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) Lots of complaining about this version of You Could Be Mine being released. Here's my take on the rationale behind this selection: They had already decided to release an early 1991 show to contrast it with a later 1992 show. Despite being close in time, the Ritz in May 1991 was from the very beginning of the touring (the third and final "warm-up show" before the UYI tour started properly), it was a smaller venue, it had Izzy. The 1992 show was after the band had toured a bit, Gilby had come in. Quite different shows. As for why exactly Ritz on May 16 and not another 1991 show, I would suppose there could be technical reasons why it lends it itself more to release, maybe they simple have better recording from it, and maybe they thought it overall was a good show and representative of this period in time. As for You Could Be Mine specifically. I think they wanted this song to be the first single and to represent the forthcoming release, like they did back in 1991 when the album version was released as a single. It is not perfect by any means, but it does work to show how the band was back then and there is a ferociousness to it. It is not an untrue representation of early 1991 Guns N' Roses. Besides, it might not be the best song from the Ritz show, but a fitting introduction and as I said, it parallels what they did back in 1991. Maybe the rest of the show is better but again, I suspect they wanted this song to be released first. Or maybe they just don't care that much about this and neither will most people buying the remastered UIYs...

We love Axl Rose Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 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. I'm someone who loves to listen to live recordings, so I was hoping that we would get most of the songs from the UYI albums performed live. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least wait for the final release Yes, yes, you're right. Doesn't look to promising though. I hope there will be a proper announcment very soon what exactly they have to offer with this.

allwaystired Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Just had a conversation about this with a non GNR fan friend. "So it's looking like two albums you have, with a couple of discs of live stuff?" "Yep, really excited about it!" "But nothing new, just live stuff?" "Yeah" "Why are you excited? Why don't they do something new?" Not much I could say really! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
