Stay.Of.Execution Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 International shipping is 52$. Bunch of cunts. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allwaystired Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I think it's been reissued a few times in recent years, so is fairly easily available. I liked this loads when it came out originally, so have fond memories of it but it's very much an 'of the time album'. It sounds pretty dated in places.

Musically it's not the greatest and kinda outdated, but it's fun to listen to it once in a while. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a few moments. Duff is obviously not well and I think that comes through these songs. It would have been better with the Johnny Thunders cover I grabbed the music on vinyl release a few years back 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTV88 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Didn’t this sell less than 100k the first time around? Why on earth is this getting reissued but not Live Era? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s by far the best solo album of any member. I still listen to it today. And if you’ve heard any other Duff solo album, they don’t compare. Believe in Me is miles ahead better than his other albums 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff’s liner notes mention him coming up with lyrics on the spot in the studio. Duff’s unreleased follow up Beautiful Disease is a much much better album. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful Disease is a good album, I prefer the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for it man.. It obviously isn't a timeless classic but it a great capture of Duff at the time and how fucked up he was.. I also was very into oit when it came out but don't think all of the songs aged well . Still has some pretty solid ones too though. Duff plays most of the instruments on the album as well if I recall. It is 1000 times better than Tenderness lol.. I'll be picking up a copy. Thanks for the heads up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapidfire Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I enjoy Duff's work. They are usually fast and fun. Believe In Me is pretty good for a fun solo effort (I'm a late bloomer of rock music and only heard the album maybe 5 years ago). Only thing I'm not a fan of is that intro where he had a dream about a little girl. That was kinda cringe as fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I liked it quite a bit when it came out. Some songs were cool, some were not good at all. Haven't listened to it in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 The cover art for Believe In Me? It is HORRID. Among the worst covers I have ever seen. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so stoked on getting this on vinyl a couple of years back but when I listened to it I was like "Ok, this is merely a thing to complete the collection". Tenderness is a masterpiece. What a great album this is. Could listen to it every day still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got It's 5'oclock Somewhere on red vinyl last year, it's a bootleg with low-res artwork but it sounds pretty good.

Funnily enough I went looking online after my post and saw that very one but was put off by the fact that it appears to have Ain’t It Grand era photos in it (I’m like - if that’s the attention to detail then…..) but if your saying it’s good sound then I might make that splash. 👍 In these days of a vinyl resurgence it boggles my mind that this and many other GNR/side band vinyls are out of print. 🤦♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzyjim Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) Fuck that, give us Beautiful Disease! Believe in me is a great album, got it back in 93, when it was released. Not a masterpiece, but very interesting with all the guests (GN'R guys, Jeff Beck, Lenny Kravitz, Skid Row members..)

megaguns1982 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 That’s the album that Duff was scheduled to tour here in Australia in when his pancreas exploded or whatever and it got cancelled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, that wasn’t the reason the tour was canceled. Not that was given anyway. I was sad that the tour was canceled as I’d missed seeing GN’R in 1993, and this was kind of a chance to see some of that sleazy rock. Anyway, I remember the excuse given for the tour cancellation was an ear infection or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
