I like There Was A Time and Street of Dreams. Lots to forget on CD though and no way in hell does any of stand up to the better UYI material. A few I’d get rid because they sound alike and My World is trash but still more than enough for a double album.

can you imagine being in a band where the lead singer recorded a track like that and put it on the cd without anyone knowing about it?

fuck I'd have punched him in the dick. 

You know this is exactly what Eddie did on Vitalogy with Stupid Mop, right?

never heard that.

Held a USE YOUR ILLUSIONS 1 vinyl for 15 euros in France a few days ago, but didn't buy it.

regret it like hell now.

Anyone hear the Atlas Shrugged leak? 

Saw this. Got intrigued:

That’s the exact complaint that Slash made back in 95.   He said Axl truly wanted them to be half PJ/half NIN

I dig Axls vision of every album sounding different and be in completely different direction though. In theory atleast.

I'm seeing them at Louder than Life in Louisville next weekend.  The schedule has them listed as 830-1130....

Axl has short hair now. 

And they soundchecked the leaked "Hardschool"

“Locomotive” was played two nights ago in Kansas for the first time in 27 years. One of their best songs and they nailed it...

Locomotive is a gem.  Glad to see them adding some songs to the mix.  The reason I only saw them once on the NITL tour was bc setlists were stale.   Would love to see others like dead horse, don’t damn me, bad obsession, pretty tied up, etc

Right on, love all of those UYI deep cuts. Garden, Garden of Eden, Breakdown, Right Next Door to Hell, Dust N’ Bones, Back off Bitch etc. But they played Coma, Civil War, Yesterdays, Estranged when I saw them... I have no complaints.

Me, either. Plenty of piss breaks. And loooooong ones.

I saw them in 2016, the first year of the reunion tour (because we didn't know how long it was going to last).   Most of the focus was on appetite, with only a little on UYI, and no songs from Lies.   Great show, but I wish they'd gone a bit deeper.

Hoping that after the last few years, they know they can go into the rest of their catalog now. And change up the covers.

Those Austin City Limits setlists are nice - much more "streamlined" than the usual ones that are a bit bloated.
Can someone remind me whether or not the ACL shows get "released" (not officially) is somewhat high quality?

That incident with the "superfan" getting a lifetime ban from shows is pretty messed up.

I guess it depends.   Was the the source of the leak of all those unrelease gnr songs?   If so, that's messed up.  If not, then GNR permantly banning him is messed up.

Not sure how they enforce though.   Usually your pretty anonymous going into a show.

I just purchased Slash's autobiography.  Has anyone here read it?

You mean this one? I am halfway through and it's a highly entertaining read. I took a break from it a few months back because I seem to do that with books for whatever reason, but I just thought about it again the other day.

Yes, that’s the one! I’ve heard it’s a great read (and, as you said, very entertaining).

You mean MY copy that i let you borrow two years ago that I still haven’t gotten back yet,
and now it’s all beaten up!? 👋🏻

It’s a great read, although the ending about how Axl was impossible to work with and they’ll never be bandmates again is a little outdated. The stories are great though. I liked the one where he freaked out in a hotel shower on acid/whatever combo of drugs while he was being attacked by a horde of green interdimensional woodland creatures and ran down to the lobby, stark naked.

That has happened to most of us, hasn't it?
