ZoSoRose Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) I take it there are quite a few people that are into vinyl on here. Makes sense you would also like GNR on vinyl, then. I got into record collecting in April (worst financial decision, ever), with a focus on live performances from bands I love. Zeppelin is my main focus, but now that I have pretty much gotten everything I wanted from Zep, I am moving on to GNR. Anyone have anything cool or worth checking out? I am really interested in NuGNR and 2016- present (anything I don't have below). If anyone knows of any releases I am missing from those eras, let me know! There does not seem to be much on vinyl. Pretty happy with my classic representation, so far, but am always hunting... Studio, Appetite for Destruction : 1986 Sound City Session N' More Appetite for Destruction (official vintage, cross cover)- Got this one signed by Slash, Duff, and Steven. Even had it with me when I met Axl but I opted for a photo with him instead!

DTV88 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Definitely make sure you have the European release of Chinese. The sound makes the US version feel almost criminal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have part 1 and 3 of the Belgium show that were sold separately, but can't find part 2. Great job getting the box. I think they only made 180 of them.

That's the one I've got, the artwork is low quality but the record sounds good. Got it from Rollin Records a couple years ago. I've got some Duff, Izzy and Buckethead albums on vinyl too. Got at least 1 pressing of all the GNR albums and a bunch of bootlegs, singles, even that Hollywood Rose 'album' with Gilby remixes. My rarest album is probably Live Era 87-93. I have the Hired Gun Axl/DC set, but would've loved to get the box set for a decent price, the only times I ever saw it was for at least $300...

I found 2 out of the 3 Hired Gun ones on eBay for like 70 bucks. I think I’m missing Touch too Much The box i can’t believe I scored. Got it just last month. I got that, Roses are Rad (80s boot of the 87 Lost Horizon show), and a boot of the OG AfD with yellow vinyl for 200 bucks. That’s a steal to me!

Yeah, "Roses are Rad" seems pretty rare, as well. It is a weird cover with a GNR quiz. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJo Bonetto Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I am a vinyl girl although I have yet to unbox my old vinyl because my record player was destroyed so I shut it away to be cat safe. The list above feels pretty comprehensive. I think I have some pre 2016 singles on vinyl somewhere, too and obviously still need to get Perhaps (I have the Japanese CD coming for now). The scarcest vinyl I have noticed for GNR is Chinese Democracy (in the UK). The most expensive is the Live Like a Suicide EP, Spaghetti Incident (also scarce), GNR Lies (there are 2 slightly different covers for GNR Lies if I recall correctly). The AfD ones vary depending on pressing and cover but seem to be cheaper. UYI vary depending on release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izzyjim Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I don't get the hype around modern vinyl bootlegs. it's not like they have a superior source, I bet most of them are not even lossless but coming from mp3's.

ToonGuns Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I have quite a bit of stuff. The most interesting I find is the It’s So Easy 12” 45rpm maxi single with the alternate mix of Mr Brownstone on it. I don’t own any bootlegs - never went there or had the urge, don’t know why.

estrangedtwat Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I have: AFD original cover (genuine) AFD cross cover (with tattoo sticker!) Live from the Jungle EP (misprint with obi) GNR Lies (Canadian pressing, original "wife-beating" text) UYI II (original pressing...signed by Matt Sorum in 1999) TSI? (original pressing on orange vinyl) Live Era (also genuine) Chinese Democracy (Best Buy...still sealed) .44 Caliber Horticulture (old bootleg double LP) Shadow of Your love 7" on red vinyl Since I Don't Have You 7" on orange vinyl And a few other old 7 inches and promos. I still need UYI I. I always meant to get it and never got around to it, and now it's been decades that I've put off buying it. Oh well.
