Previously someone shared the isolated tracks for 5.1 blu ray that came with the AFD box set. This song was one of them. I thought it was awesome, so I made a CD of the drums/vocal tracks only. It's neat to listen to.

World On Fire is my fav of the 3. Awesome riffs and good lyrics.
Contraband is hit and miss with the songs, I like it but it's different.
CD had a few great songs but fell flat on the rest. Kinda forgettable.

WOF is my vote.

Thought I would chime in. In 1990 the fans, the radio, magazines & MTV wanted anything and everything to do with GN'R. KOHD came out as a single but no video, so MTV released the Ritz '88 version as an MTV Exclusive. It even said this on the bumpers to the video. As soon as Civil war was released on that compilation the radio played it too. MTV would have GN'R Saturdays where they would play 90% GN'R videos, which included The Ritz and the GN'R Rockumentary. It was Glorious. I was a teenager and was obsessed with the band, so I remember it all clearly.

Too much of a dysfunctional band at that point. Gilby being told at the last show He was done. 2 1/2 years of touring. Slash and Axl communicating by phone. Little to no promotion for the album except for one video. As I recall Estranged video came out very close to TSI. The album didn't do very well, as the previous poster said, it's basically UYI leftovers.

As for pictures with CD members, why? They're just hired guns. Never thought of as "members". Look at the recent tour posters, Do you see Frank, Richard or Melissa in them?

Waits for  "WTF happened to... Absurd?" Thread
