Anyway, for all you negative cunts here, I pretty much listened to the live YCBM on repeat the whole drive to work, and it’s just awesome. The intro is a train wreck but they pull it together and it’s just killer!

Plus, I can hear Izzy! Even with him playing what seems like the wrong key at the start, his rhythms alongside Slash is great to hear in a proper live mix.

Slash fucks up the solo, it’s gloriously sloppy but great, in the way that UYI era Slash had just an amazing feel and choice of notes.

And then, on top of that, Axl messes up the bridge section lyrics. But he sings it with so much venom and passion, it doesn’t matter!

You guys can complain all you like.

UYI era is MY era, and I LOVE THIS SHIT.

GIVE ME MORE!!!

Me too man. Me too.

I pretty much lived in that tshirt from 1993 until 1995 or 1996 until it fell apart from too many washes.

If they want my money, they should reprint stuff like that!

YCBM I’d say is what really grabbed me, and made me go in search of GN’R albums to buy. And UYI 2 on cassette ended up being my first GN’R item I purchased.

Soon after, I dug back through the rest of their small catalogue, and became the mega fan, that’s kept me here some 30+ years later.

It’s weird to think when I was discovering GN’R back then, that 30 years later, we’d only get one more album of original material under the GN’R name.

Back on topic, in 1991, Trent’s NIN genius hadn’t quite caught on with the rest of the world. That came later with 1994’s The Downward Spiral. So who knows if exposure for NIN on a big budget film like T2, may have actually helped get them popularity sooner?

That kinda finished demo that exists is pretty cool instrumentally, and as with all of Slash’s solos from that era, it kicks ass.

If it does come out on the UYI Box, I hope they don’t really tamper with it too much, and if they do put it out in good quality, I hope to hell that Caram stays the fuck away from doing any remixing or production of it as well.

I watched Payback (1999, Mel Gibson) last week on Netflix. I forgot how great this movie was.

Nice gritty action film with a good amount of comedy, as Mel gets payback on a bunch of bad guys, from who he wants to get back his 70k cut they ripped off from him.
