There must be hundreds of hours of footage and not just like 90 minutes, they were on tour for 3 years.

nycgunner Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Am I reading this right? The $260 super deluxe CD version does NOT have the live songs on the basic deluxe CD versions of UYI 1 and 2? For example, Mama Kin in Paris with Steven and Joe isn’t listed on the $260 verison apologies if I am just missing it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 2 hours ago, WillBailey said: Yeah definitely not clear. Why doing the work in 4K to downsize it? Unless you want to make it a stand alone release in 4K for Xmas or something. Oh well... Doing 4K transfers and downscaling to 1080p has been a standard industry practice since long before UHD was a common format for consumers. Go dive into the nitty-gritty details on any number of blu-ray.com BD reviews for discs released in the early 2010's and you'll see that the source material was scanned at 4K. It was sort of a future-proofing method so that when UHD did become a common format, they wouldn't have to do yet another transfer. Whether or not this actually means we'll someday get a UHD release for The Ritz... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
©GnrPersia Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 4K or 1080p, the most important thing here is that we'll get an 'official' release from one of the coolest shows in one of the most crazy years of GNR. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnR Chris Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 So where is that coma guy who pretended to have insiders and said Axl was upset about the box set release, and that’s why the band isn’t promoting it? Turns out the band is promoting it. They’re just really bad at social media management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintari Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 (edited) Hard pass for me. I have the original CDs, which will end up sounding better since this stuff is going to be dynamically crushed thanks to the loudness wars. Even the extras are like... nah. And it's too expensive. All I really want from the Illusion era is a complete documentary with all that vault footage that Axl and co. are holding back from us. So much footage, so many soundboard recordings, so many epic stories that need to be told. If they released that, I'd pay a ton of money for it. But for a worse-sounding version of two albums that I already own? No. Edited September 22, 2022 by Nintari 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it was filmed at both venues, which should have made it to the L&L box. If I recall correctly Doig said Tokyo, Ritz, and Paris maybe.

Even if there was - there is zero chance of AGD being on it…mostly because it’s a not a cover but also the fact it traces its roots to pre-AFD, it could have shown up properly on either these reissues and been more appropriate….but nothing. More chance of it being included on an EP/new album I reckon. I whole heartedly agree. Its beyond pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Bird Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 6 hours ago, Tom-Ass said: Probably about $300 bucks for the CD set I feel like they tried harder with this but it is still a rip off. The largest portion of people that would want to buy this stuff are probably in their 40's.. Does anyone in that age group really want all the posters and swag?? Probably not.. I want the Blu Ray most of all but the Vinyls would be cool too at normal prices.. Fair prices are more like this... $30 each for the Illusions $30 for each Concert $20 for a Blu Ray That is $140 bucks for the media and $360 for the swag.. I'm one of the guys who still buys physical CDs instead of just streaming but I'm not willing to spend a three digit amount on one release. I passed on the AFD boxset and I passed on Izzy's On Down The Road due to the same reason. Now I'll pass on that. Maybe they're gonna release just the blue ray once. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post troccoli Posted September 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2022 21 hours ago, DTJ80 said: Yeah - once the actual announcement came and the packages were unveiled it was obvious to he SD was the big package. You have actually answered my next question in that it was the bands choice not to include demos etc. At least there are demos on the internet and maybe that played a part in their choice. The lack of Ain’t Going Down is very odd. Re AFD set - I can only assume that their choice for the lack of AFD live stuff means we might see standalone releases at some point. Cheers for acting as a go-between - it will have helped to ensure live footage (both audio and video) were included this time. 👍 I am not a hopeful person normally, but a small part of me is hoping the cds will have hidden tracks. Guess we will see. I wouldn't hold your breath. I was told that regarding the AFD box back then, still waiting on those releases. I hope I helped in some small way, hard to know. 12 hours ago, MrMojo said: Shirts, hoodie etc. Bought from you a 3 or 4 years back. Still wear the shirt you sent all the time. Oh I see.

That shirt is one of the things I suggested. I said maybe include some kind of voucher and people can send away for whatever size it is they need. 8 hours ago, Alejandro GNR said: So what was @troccoliimput in this boxset? Can you give us any info? Thanks in advance Same as the last one, just sent all of my memorabilia to them. I am sure that will all be in the book. Other than that the only thing I did was compile all of your suggestions from way back when and sent it to them in an email. Not sure if it had any effect or not. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stress Fracture Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I have they do a November Rain 2022 12” with Ain’t Goin’ Down 2022 on the b-side. That would pretty much be all I want and by this band’s standards fulfil Slash’s claim of more new music coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
