Maddergascar Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Seriously, what with all the demos and stuff floating around the net from the old bands, and maybe a few rejects from CD, there must be easily enough stuff to fill one. You'd think the record company would be desperate to do something like this, given the appetite (pun intended) for more gnr recordings and the bands currently rather small catalogue.

Takeshi Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 If CD bombs, then the record company will do everything it can to make money. They'll release anything that can find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashlar Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 its probably all to do with Axl. considering he has been working on CD all these years the record company hasn't wanted to step on his toes until the GH thing. its just a matter of time, either we see CD or we see a record company cashing out their investment.

Manstis1604 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Probably because their B-sides suck. Every band has their crap songs, and some bands release them (Zeppelin released Coda) while some never do. Of course, Pearl Jam put out a double album of b-sides and at least half of them were really good, so you never know. What I've heard of GnR's B-sides is pretty crap, so that's probably why they don't put them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artfromtex Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Probably because their B-sides suck.you think "Crash Diet", "Jumpin' Jack Flash", "Heartbreak Hotel", "Shadow of Your Love", and the acoustic demo of "November Rain" suck? that's a pretty good collection of tunes right there. what else would be on there? possibly their live version of "Dead Flowers" and "Whole Lotta Rosie"? i think they could put out a pretty good record based on their unreleased/rare stuff.

"Ain't going down" is pretty good too, perhaps "Cornchucker" and this other songs, what's it called...something like "Just another sunday" could be used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnrindia Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 a unreleased/demo/rare live cover material boxset would be amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssiscool Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 it would be good to see that happen and if CD dosent sell then they might. in the hope of making more mony to pay for the disaster called "chinese Democracy". but that wont happen it will be a big success In My OpinionSS.

Guest Sweet_Emotion Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 aaaaaaaaah that would be AMAZING!!!!i would love it. how many discs could they make out of all rare stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack77 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Once again, maybe there's some legal issues stopping this even if there would be great materialDon't forget to call my lawyers with your ridiculous demands... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddergascar Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) Not interesting enough for a record company to release I think. Too complicated with little marketability.You really think so? GNR are still huge and plenty of other far less popular bands have had collections like this released. The fact that it's been 14 years since gnr released and original material can only have increased demand imho.BTW, i bet there must be some complete demos of tracks recorded with some of the old members that will never make CD anyway. But there's probably enough stuff for one disc without going that far. Edited February 8, 2006 by Maddergascar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbudrick Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Unwanted Illusions is an unofficial CD...rare, but they pop up on ebay every now and then. There's some incredible tracks on there that never got put out, but there's also some clunkers that are so damn bad they are absolutely painful to hear...-Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
life_247 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 The main reason is theres not a whole lot that can be put out by geffen, and axl and slash dont see eye to eye so its hard to put the stuff out. Also they're kinda pissed off by Geffen at the moment with the whole GH thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
