What do you think is the best release the band has done since the reunion?

[saint_seiya]

For me its the Ritz 1991 blu ray, the fact that we got a perfect concert shot on 35mm , what a treasure. 

[seely]

Hmm, so much material to choose from...

[Blackstar]

I'll say The Ritz, too, and then Perhaps.

I also have a soft spot for Absurd, mostly because of the way it was released. Very unpredictable and wtf moment

[Appetitefordiscussion]

Between Perhaps and Shadow Of Your Love. I know AFD is a perfect album and blah blah blah, but I really love the modern mix they did for Shadow. Pretty fun listen 

[DSTK]

Ritz definitely...then the general

[D4NNY]

I believe the Ritz blu ray is the obvious choice in terms of nostalgic treasure but if we can include Monsters as a ‘release’ then that may take the top spot for me

[Draguns]

I would say the Ritz blu ray. It brought back memories of listening bits and pieces of that concert through a black and white tv that had a combination of a radio. At the time 102.7 WNEW here in the NJ/NYC broadcasted the concert. They had some songs but then played various songs from other artists. 

[F*ck Fear]

Monsters....When it's released.

[axlvai]

Uyi boxset.

[rocknroll41]

1.AFD box set

2.The new songs

3.UYI box set

I’ve enjoyed it all, though.

[jamillos]

Ritz 91 vid, Monsters (if we count it), AfD demos

 

They also have other great official releases we should be thankful for, like Saskatoon 93, House of Blues 01, or the Village Sessions, right? Right?

I actually think this is a more thoughtful question than it appears on the surface. You think 'release' and assume a single or album but it's more than that. For me, I think their cover of Slither is exceptional and I look forward to it every show I see and I feel the same way about Wichita Lineman. I hope they've recorded that privately because it would send that song right back up the charts. Let's face it, covers are part of GN'R's history so not every song needs to be an original.

Perhaps.

Wichita shows that there is still that Gn'R spark between Axl, Slash, and Duff and the rest of the lineup also did a great job covering it. If they don't record it and release it, that would be criminal.

for me it's The General, the ritz pro shot, and Wichita.

edit: I didn't include Monsters cause it didn't get or about to get an official release as far as we know, but that is by far the strongest Chinese track this lineup has released imho.

The last thing I want them to put on any future album is yet another cover tbh. It would just take up space of a possible new song of their own. It's not like they haven't played enough of them throughout their career. 

[Stay.Of.Execution]

Hopefully Fernando

[Spoon87]

Ritz BluRay.

[allwaystired]

Not many shouts for the toy truck yet....

[Lies They Tell]

So far the best for me has been Hard Skool. (This would have been a more interesting questions after The General (and possibly Monsters?) has been released.

[Trin9498]

Perhaps

[Gibbo]

Ritz bluray, Afd Bluray and Monsters

[Rindmelon]

Perhaps, i would say The General but it's not out until it's out

It was released in an absurd manner.

[jimisbatman]

Perhaps is best release........ However the best THING since reunion is locker leaks and the Grail 2000 album.

[twistoflemon21]

Perhaps and the piano version of November Rain.
