ObsessionofVanity Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Shit they even have an empty Hammerstein 2006 playlist. Tf is going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powderfinger Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Some of these titles and artwork have been around for years as bootlegs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 The band or management has not been happy about people selling bootlegs. I like this approach to fighting it. Make it available. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s all been to control it and have it available on their channel kudos to them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Management has claimed they have not been responsible for the takedowns (let's not restart that discussion, @RussTCB), but they haven't necessarily gone out of their way to stop the takedowns, either, and this could help explain why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystery Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 The Deer Creek show is apparently the live debut of November Rain which is really nice to see officially on their channel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamillos Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Even though I don’t buy the theory that all those insane takedowns were done because of these few bootlegs, it’s nice that they’ve put out at least something. But it’s been there for some time, if I’m not mistaken. Would have been wise if they mentioned something on the web, too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wise & GNR have historically not been great bedfellows. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Blackstar Posted January 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2022 Yeah, this content (or most of it) has been there for a while and it has been pointed out a few times before, but it's not been added by the band. These are sourced from the bootleg labels and auto generated by youtube; youtube's algorithm adds them to the "Guns N' Roses topic," so they appear as if they're in the official channel. 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I was going to add to my post earlier that I was a bit surprised they would add live shows from the UYI period before the box set; would make more sense to publish them after the box set is out next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MYWIFEMYLIFE Posted January 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2022 GNR has the best live performances and never release live recordings, band, label and management are morons for this. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought it was weird they'd choose Noblesville 91 out of all the possible shows. I love the voice, but wouldn't expect this to be their choice. Anyway, isn't that ironic? All the bootlegs taken down - and now... And isn't it ironic, don't you think?

It's like raaaiiiaaiiin on your wedding day Oh wait Well, it's not now. These bootlegs have been out there forever, on youtube (and on the channel), too. Since they're released by bootleg labels, they're kind of semi-official - at least youtube considers them legal and officially licensed from these labels*, so they are not taken down. GnR doesn't seem to have gone after these label released bootlegs either. On the other hand, if you or I upload them they will be taken down by UMG. * Edit: these particular bootlegs are radio broadcasts, so it's likely that the bootleg labels own the recordings. Anyway, there's been much worse than GnR in this respect: https://consequence.net/2021/12/eric-clapton-sues-woman-selling-bootleg-live-recording/ Edited January 2, 2022 by Blackstar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows who is behind the takedowns. And it highlights what an utter shitshow TB is. A banned member is doing it. The mom gave permission, the son denies it. That about covers it. 39 minutes ago, Pele said: Edited January 2, 2022 by Pele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, as you say, it's nothing new. The quality of the CDs though is usually very high, so probably worth picking up cheaply, in my opinion, for anyone who might be interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can highly recommend the Zodiac labels version of Ritz 88. Very good packaging etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory yes….the usual dips in vocals when there is swearing but at this point I’m absolutely used to that. It was just a decent package - printed covers for the CD/DVD - and a decent cover too. Too many bootlegs have horrific covers! This is the one I have: - https://www.discjapan.com/product/guns-n-roses-ritz-1988-definitive-edition-3rd-edition1dvd1cd1bonus-single-dvdrzodiac-110/ Looks like a newer version is available: - https://www.discjapan.com/product/guns-n-roses-ritz-1988-definitive-edition-2020-remaster-1cd1dvd-zodiac-428/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
