WillBailey Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Am I the only one who feels a bit of deception listening to the Rio or even Wembley 91 bonus tracks? I mean they're kinda cool but I feel like the sound/mix isn't as good as the Ritz or Vegas and those two shows have better performances overall. Of course its cool to have Bad Apples, but I dont know...maybe on video it would have worked better. Same for Wembley. A video would have been very nice.

I noticed that too about the mixing, but the great performances themselves make up for it (for me, at least). Ritz 91 and Vegas 92 are mixed beautifully though, at least.

His tone on some of these Ritz solos is insane.. So glad this is getting out there so many can be reminded of how fucking awesome this band was back in the day. Hopefully there is much more to come.. They have a lot of catching up to do compared to other bands. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbrownstone8797 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 As a completionist (read: sucker) I bought both the super deluxe and colored vinyls. The super deluxe came this morning but my colored vinyl order got delayed by a week (purchased through Sound of Vinyl). Did this happen to anyone else? I haven't seen the colored vinyls in any pictures on social media. Also wondering if anyone knows if the Japanese exclusive bonus tracks are on the streaming services if you use a Japanese VPN?

Tom-Ass Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Love what Gilby is doing during the talk box solo on Rocket Queen.. What were they thinking with that fucking Live Era version? I used to love that "performance" too. I will never intentionally listen to it again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Just a PSA as I’ve seen a few people bitching about the Japanese bonus tracks - one post even said “shame on GN’R for doing that”. Bonus tracks on Japanese releases are absolute standard practice for almost all major artists/releases in Japan. It’s hard for the Japanese record industry to get locals to buy Japanese-produced products as the imports are in many cases still cheaper. The idea of Japanese bonus tracks were thought up some years ago to serve as a reason for locals to buy the local products. We’re lucky it was only tracks that are available elsewhere, whether or not they’ve been remixed. Many times a Japanese bonus track will be something that is completely exclusive to that release. As much as we love to shit on GN’R sometimes (And as much as they sometimes do deserve our criticism), this one can’t be pinned in the band one bit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draguns Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 4 hours ago, McCoyGNR said: For bands that want to push premium prices for physical mediums, would be a really nice move to ship those products first before the digital release is available. I feel like I paid a $750 premium for both the super deluxe and deluxe sets and my reward is a penalty that I have to listen to the streaming version because they didn’t ship ahead or had production delays… I agree! I'm disappointed with the way this was handled. I thought that I would have received the super deluxe today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that all live tracks were mixed by the same team, so it probably has to do with the quality of the source recording. The Ritz, Vegas and Paris were recorded by Mike Clink, but Wembley and Rio were recorded by other people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnr5 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 IS Rocket Queen to Sail Away Sweet Sister fading out only on Spotify? Is there a song missing that was played in between those two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W. Axl Kev Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I haven’t listened to much of it yet so I need to reserve judgement. I put it on my Sonos (via Spotify) today and it shuffled it so I didn’t get straight live stuff. I encountered the remastered Breakdown and I wouldn’t have been able to tell any difference. The Vegas stuff sounded excellent, the Ritz stuff less so. It’s cool to have official live GN’R music out but the frustrated fan in me (which is 10% max) sees little difference between releasing live material that has been, largely, available for 30 years and renaming Silkworms and telling us it’s a brand new single. I haven’t formed my thoughts yet so I need to think this through and listen to it more. Glad everyone is enjoying it though. That’s what matters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While i definitely agree the real version is so much better than the live era version, Axls ‘99 vocals are absolutely insane on that track and I have to keep that one in my playlist just for that fact. Makes me wonder why they cut gilby tho? Only reason I can think of is that Axls vocals cut into his track a bit so they didn’t want Axls original vocals being heard alongside his ‘99 take 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
