Spike Killer Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I pre-ordered through Amazon. I'm hoping the price goes down between now and release date - or I missed the boat like when I got AFD for $138 day one. At the current price, this is an expensive set. If it had all of the stuff people wanted - who's going to spend 700 on a box set (I would)? I'm enjoying You Could Be Mine that was posted. I'll have to revisit Live Era. Live Era doesn't sounds all that different although the Illusion track seems to have a more "natural" sound mix. Excited all the same.

Not that I don't think this release is a massive wasted opportunity of course. I'm not saying don't buy it at all! I will definitely buy it later when it's massively reduced in my price. My point is purely on the principle of paying them that much money when it's really just a lazy and uninspired effort for us hard core fans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamillos Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 3 hours ago, TheSlashrose said: I don't know how the band rejected this new mix, they just want to deliver leftovers to the fans. Three drum solos included on the disc, what the hell is Axl thinking? Or did Matt Sorum need to authorize his image and how bargaining required his solos to be included? I think it was a deal. You cut the crap out of that book, you get some prominent space where you otherwise wouldn't have. Deal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-p-d-a Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 what i don't understand... Live Era has a bonus track on Japan CD and vinyl. Coma from Omaha 1993. Coma sounds absoluty okay. Omaha 1993 has The Garden and the acoustic set too. I don't know why it's not a part of the UYI Deluxe Box 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttu69 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Since this is UYI box set they should’ve included all the different UYI songs that they’ve performed live 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unbelievable that people actually eat this shit up .... The set is already over a year past the anniversary ... What timing is Axl apparently not pleased with? As if they didn't have years to prepare for it ... Axl doesn't give two shits about this band anymore that's been obvious for a while now ... He's milking as much as he can till he can't anymore from touring then he's gone from the media till he dies 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 (edited) I hate to say it, but the updated online cover art for the super deluxe is growing on me. It’s supposed to be an “illusion” anyways. I want to download one of these three editions just for the sake of supporting the band. I’ll go with the super deluxe. Would rather listen to two complete concerts anyways rather than just random “selects.” Maybe I’ll download the live cuts of stuff like Perfect Crime and Bad Apples separately and make my own “live UYI” or whatever.

invisible_rose Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 23 hours ago, RussTCB said: That part is honestly unbelievable to me, even for GN'R. This should be very easy, IMO. You release 3 products: Remastered versions of each album for those that just want that. Release an SDE that includes both albums and all the extra tracks for those who want them. Release a version of the SDE on vinyl. It's that easy. Instead, we have this cash grabbing / fan milking horseshit. I totally echo your views. I can only hope it’s a complete fuck up or oversight than a very shrewd move to push hardcore fans to buy multiple packs. It’s quite frankly sickening if it is a chess move cash grab. Given TB‘s history, both are equally plausible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020_Intensions Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 One positive thing I will say is I've been dying to hear You Aint the First live with Izzy live so it is cool that they included that and Bad Apples as well because the only bootleg I've ever heard of it is practicably inaudible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 (edited) Took another look at the tracklists of the normal deluxe editions. I’ll purchase these tracks from each: UYI1 Perfect Crime, Bad Apples UYI2 14 Years, Mama Kin, Train Kept Arollin and then I’ll just get the full super deluxe on iTunes too.

mystery Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 On 9/22/2022 at 12:40 PM, Tom-Ass said: Same, all I ever wanted is live Blu Rays of shows from the classic Era. I have interest in the Vinyls too but not at those prices. I would have probably paid $200 for all the LPS in that box which would still be high... The Ritz show would have been a cool release on it's own.. LP or CD with the Blu Ray packaged together. I always thought a Ritz Blu Ray set would be super cool that included the 87, 88 and 91 shows on the Blu Ray and then may a live album with a compliation of the best versions of each song played to keep it from being repetitive. And also weed out some that don't transfer live to audio. Like there are some songs that were so sloppy on the 88 Ritz show when listening but it is still my favorite show. You kind of need to see the video to witness the insanity of the performance and the reasons some songs are sloppy. I think Slash has attested to this but it's the overall vibe and energy of the band and the gig that makes it legendary. Part of me wonders if we'll see more archive releases when the time comes where they call it a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the label figures they'll buy all the sets then. From what I've read the AFD sets are now less than half of the original price so I'm not sure why anyone here is rushing out to buy these when they will most likely be heavily discounted in the future. I'm sure one of our insiders can let us know how many of each set are being made. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
