Does anyone have the UYI rough mixes listed on Discogs? Basically they’re late 1990 and January 1991 mixes a lot of the songs…

New Rose
Attitude
I Don't Care About You

One problem....

There's not enough room. The project is simply too ambitious. Something has got to give...and it leaves few options...
Release 3 albums simultaneously
Remove a couple filler tracks and two "big guns" to make room for the above
Release them as B sides
Save them for a future "punk cover EP"
Obviously they went with the last choice.

One thing I will never understand re TSI is the usage of You Can’t Put Your Arms Around a Memory. It’s a good song and Duff has a good performance of it - but the placing of a Duff solo song is so lazy. It doesn’t even feature Slash on guitars! It’s just Duff and some guys from his solo record, even the electric guitar is just some dude.

It’s literally a solo album track pasted on there. They could’ve at least had Slash and Gilby overdub the guitars to make it seem less blatantly like a solo song pasted in.

No the UYIs already had two covers didn't need a 3rd. Also what song from the UYIs would you take off? it would have to be one of the 5 minute songs.

I’d have cut KOHD (released it as a stand-alone A Side single) and cut GITR (b side or single only), and put Aint it Fun on UYI II after Yesterdays.

It was recorded during the sessions in 1991, even the vocals, so it was probably more than likely finished by the time the albums came out. Axl’s vocal track was recorded the same day as Mike Monroe laid down the harmonica track for Bad Obsession

That being said, should GNR have included it (perhaps in place of LALD or KOHD) on UYI I or II?

Or do you feel it works better as is on TSI?

I feel personally it would’ve done a great deal to keep their street cred if it had been on the UYIs, showed they still could rock just in just as real, mean and ugly a fashion as the newer groups at the time. Despite being a cover, it’s atmospherically to me a throwback to the swagger of Appetite. It’s wasted on TSI imo, since that album is pretty often overlooked by rock/music fans.

What do you think?

It’s well known I’m a Stones fan.
The Stones have had several lineups and pretty much all have been represented in official releases of the band on film at various concerts or tours.

Eg Ireland 1965, Rock N’ Roll Circus 1968, Hyde Park 1969, Altamont 1969, Ladies and Gentlemen 1972, concert films for 1981 and 1982, and 1990 as well, and so on. You basically get a great overview of every lineup at various points

GN’R have only released three live concerts in full, Tokyo 1992, the 2012 show and now the Ritz 1991

But as we all know there were hundreds of shows between 1986 and 1993 alone, plus shows like the Joint 2001, House of Blues, and shows with the 2002-2014 lineups and the semi reunion lineup

That said, why don’t GNR release more live concerts on film? It would be an easy way for them to make money, and nice for us as well

I’m just gonna wait for the blu ray to be by itself

I asked this of a friend, am curious about your views

Why, in the late 90s/early 00s did Axl go from a punchline (dolphin videos, late concerts, cigarette holders) circa 1994 to being seen or at least promoted in the press as the potential “savior of rock” or the “last rock star” or whatever?

Ultimately although GNR are very good, they weren’t THAT far removed in music or attitude from Crue or Skid Row. And there were a lot of great rock records released between 1993-2000 by others. Axl was no more real than someone like, idk, lead singer of Tool etc. No more shocking than Marilyn Manson. No more profane or egotistic than Fred Durst

So how did it come to be, as someone who lived it, that Axl went from being a joke in 1994 to being a guy (potentially) capable of giving an amazing rock saving album as far as press and pop culture were concerned around 99/00?

I ask because besides listening to all this cool old stuff, in hindsight, it’s weird seeing GnR at the 2002 VMAS, that was the year of Eminem, 50 Cent, White Stripes…But GNR, this ancient 80s band whose commercial peak was 1988 or 1992, was presented as the highlight of that evening

I don’t know where this originated, but it’s literally just about 1080p in quality, I thought I’d share it with you all. 1993 was a great year for Guns.
