I finally watched the videos in full last night. Axl sounds fantasic right now. I'm gonna beat it into the ground, but once again close your eyes - you'd think it was 1987 with Axl's voice. Nice Boys sounds like an '88 performance, and YCBM - vocally that is - sounds the best it ever has.

Despite talent being "technically stronger" in other era's, this is the most cohesive most raw traditional new era Guns N' Roses. Everyone seems to like each other, and when the band enjoys bringing even the old guys out it just adds to it much more. It was so fuckin' cool to hear Tommy & Duff doing battling backup vocals on Knockin' On Heaven's Door, even though i'm not a fan of the song post-1992.

I love all of these guys, both old and new. I'm not worried about a full-fledged reunion, i'm just tired of GN'R existing in 2010 in relative obscurity. Let's see some live albums/DVD's, some all new material. Let's see this band truely be active again.

Come on Axl, you've finally gotten back to a 1993 point with the people involved in the band. Don't waste it. Cut new albums, invite all the fuckin' members who wanna be there. Make this whole thing a real experience. This is the best shot you've had since the old days.

Agreed.  When I listen to Nice Boys, it doesn't sound like any time has gone by, let alone over 20 years.  It sounds just like it did back in the day.  Axl sounds incredible.  The band seems to be incredibly cohesive and tight together. 

Axl's getting up there age wise.  His window is shrinking by the day.  Outside of a reunion, right now is the best shot he has to really do something with GNR.  If he doesn't want to take that opportunity, then just fucking reunite already and get it over with. 

All the members currently in GNR deserve to see this go somewhere and not stay on the sidelines.  If he's not willing to deliver, it's time to reunite before that's too late and you turn into the Rolling Stones.

That's a bold statement.

Not really a bold statement because I made no judgment call on if that's good or bad. 

I don't think it's a good thing all the time in fact.  Because some of their stuff sounds like they are just trying to be either Metallica or GNR.  Listen to Buried Alive.  It sounds like a lesser Metallica song.

Some of M. Shadows vocals sound a bit Axl like at times, and the band has some GN'R-esque stylings in their diversity. I hear some Metallica chugging guitar in there too, which I really dig as well.

Saw them opening for Disturbed a couple weeks ago.  It was a badass show.  They should be headlining that tour, not Disturbed.  Disturbed were hands down the worst live disappointment I have ever seen.

Also have a new appreciation for Blow Up the Outside World after hearing the live version on this. I don't even even remember that song being played at that specific show and I wish they had included Mailman from that show.

I love Blow Up the Outside World.  To me it's such a powerful song.  I think I have a soft spot for it because it's a song I connect to.

I'm also starting to feel sorry for anyone who has to try and record Soundgarden.  I can understand why their early stuff all sounds better live than in the studio for me now.  These guys kick so much ass live.  There's this menacing energy flowing through (most) of their live stuff.  Seeing them live, watching concerts, and listening to this makes me look at them in a whole new light. 

Spoonman sounds innocent in studio form compared to the live version.  Jesus Christ Pose sounds even more badass live, same with Like Suicide.  They take a slower and softer song, Like Suicide, and it sounds heavy and full of energy live.  Whereas most bands are the exact opposite, they do their best work in the studio and the live versions come across as bland and very rehearsed. 

They should have traded out Pretty Noose with that live version of Mailman.  That one is just incredible.  Or 4th of July, that is another amazing live song.

Bottom line - is this worth a purchase?

2 cds and a dvd for $14- Yes it is worth it.

#299 Re: The Garden » What the Hell is a Ruthless Truth? » 840 weeks ago

This has been done many times before.  However, this type of 'conversion' (if that's really what you can call it) is a kind that really caters to the weak minded.  Those who will get broken down when you repeatedly insult them. 

It could have been an interesting thread, there could be a lot of conversation made on the topic.  But this ^ is just juvenile.    Despite how many people claim that it is 'enlightenment.' 

Didn't your mom ever teach you not to believe everything you read on the internet?

Bringing up 4chan just blew any credibility you had.

I could see Axl singing and writing some great lyrics on awful Myles Kennedy songs. I'd still love to hear Robert Plant on By The Sword and Saint is a Sinner Too, with Plant's own lyrics. I'd want to hear that more than Axl on any of those songs.

Why has this thought never occurred to me?  11

That would be amazing.
