Holy Grail


Recommended Posts

My holy grail:

The first two rehearsal from March 1985 (Ole Beich on Bass) 

The first show from March 1985 (Duff on Bass)

The CD demos from 1999, 2001 and 2006

Live Era 2001 - 2007

pretty sure it was the second half of Chinese, the unreleased tunes that were finished cause Axl said that was completed so it makes sense to me, but could be wrong.

 

In one of the 2011 interviews he said that he didn't think they'd properly toured CD in the US yet, and that was still their focus. The remix album seemed to be a possibility in 2009-10 though.

uyi proshots, all of 'em :)

We have plenty of those already, but a remastered 4K release like the one INXS did... that's what I'd consider a holy-grail.

They have some 1991 shows shot on film that could look like this:

He was banned, can't reply to you.

It doesn't even look like they were banned as much as that user deciding to stop the gimmick posting.

This might be too personal but any more photos or even videos of Axl from 1994-2000 with 1996-99 being of particular interest. Axl might as well have not existed those years for how quiet he was.

wich r this concerts? i think that 92 german one from estranged video could be one 

1991.05.11 - Pantages Theatre, Los Angeles, CA

That one for sure. Marc Racco was hired to make some music videos with shots from that show.

And Cathouse '89 is another one, the ISE video that was included in the AFD box proves it.

I'm sure there are a few more.

I be sure he was banned, maybe someone Mod can answer it.

1) 07.08.91 - Starplex Amphitheatre, Dallas, TX
The first show after St. Louis; we have a few snippets, they opened with Perfect Crime, Axl was absolutely feral. 
Plus all UYI shows that were recorded. 

2) Anything they did in the 90s before Slash left

3) The General or really anything from the mysterious CD sessions

Even though most of the instrumentals didnt have vocals (yet) I believe Axl was more involved in these songs than what most of people think. 

I think these songs are compiled by different ideas from the group and that Axl was very involved in the arrangements on several of the tracks. He might also play piano or keyboards (together with Dizzy) on some of them, f.ex Circus maximus

1. Reunion with Izzy and Steven and Matt. The tour should have always been Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff and Matt (with Steven either playing an Appetite encore every night or just coming on to play the Appetite songs during the show), and Izzy should be getting the same money as Axl, Slash and Duff. He wrote the fucking songs, and even if you're not missing him being up there, he should be there with them. Its nothing against Fortus or Melissa or Frank (well ok, I couldn't care less about Melissa and I just don't like Frank's drumming), but the reunion lineup should have always been Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff, Matt and Steven guesting, and Dizzy if Axl insists.

2. An honest to god new album. NOT of Chinese leftovers, not cover songs. Write some fucking new material, which everyone besides Axl is clearly still capable of doing and record them.

3. A comprehensive Chinese Democracy box set. It was actually revelatory, and dare I say changed my mind about the entire Chinese endevour. When you hear the 200 songs back to back to back, you actually hear what he's going for, and the journey he took throughout that time (and by that time I mean like 97-2003 when the album was basically honed). Its fascinating, it vindicates Chinese which turned out to be a release that was just "here's what we have" and a hodgepodge that ruined what Axl was going for, and its truly pitiful that it took them finally being leaked for us to hear them. 500 people probably even care about them, put them out to us, and you could actually get a wider audience like those that enjoyed the recent Beatles documentary and such. There are great box sets for albums that underwent intense journeys like Pet Sounds, and Chinese absolutely deserves it. 6 discs or so of everything you have with a large booklet outlining the process.

4. A documentary similar to the Eagles doc, helmed by me of course, interviewing past and probably future GNR members knowing this insane group of people being honest about their history, with a home release that includes like 10 hours of bonus features about the Axl wilderness years, Slash's solo years, Duff's solo years, Velvet Revolver, Gilby Clarke's solo albums, Izzy's solo material, the porn films Steven Adler has made, the multitude of whales Matt has saved from slaughter. 

5. A true Use Your Illusion box set (and a redo of the Appetite one at that) as even though Slash said it I'm either skeptical it won't come out, or that it probably will and be another complete missed opportunity.

6. Start an online archive portal for Use Your Illusion tour and video audio that we know they have all of.

 

Do those then we can come back with another list, but those are the obvious key ones that need to be addressed.

I must say you should be hired as GNR’s product manager, mate. (In a world where team brazil doesn’t exist, preferably)

The Holy Grail to me is:

Re recorded Appetite

Perfect Crime the supposed movie

23 rd January 1991  full concert 

I'm right there with you on the re-recorded AFD. The Nightrain solo that Bucket played live and the 2nd half of the Big Daddy SCOM left me drooling.

Slash's '96 tapes that Axl raved about

80's proshots

CD ll pre reunion album

90's proshots

Makes me sad that we might never get the finished CDII before Slash and Duff do their take

I believe AFD was rerecorded before Buckethead was in the band, but that's not to say he didn't contribute to it later, if they worked on it.

I too am worried about never hearing a complete CD2 prior to the NITL lineup messing with it.
