Funnily enough, our old buddy old pal and ChiDem contributor Brian May had been on the plane earlier this summer:

The documentary also set the stage for McCartney’s most recent tour, with him and his band playing live while Lennon appeared on screen and was heard through an isolated vocal track. Everything I have read suggests the emotional impact was phenomenal.
What had been seen as a bleak period of decline is now recognized as an actually vibrant chapter in The Beatles’ history.
If only GNR were as willing to do the same.

Is that a CD or vinyl?
#334 Re: Guns N' Roses » Favorite Guns N'Roses Songs? :) » 220 weeks ago
“November Rain” was the first one that made me realize how special they were. A friend played the two demos (as well as the Perkins Palace bootleg) during a poker game in December ‘89 and I had a soul-deep “Holy shit!” moment. Went and bought vinyl copies of “Lies” as well as the skull *and* original covers of “Appetite” for $3.99 each, new, at Fred Meyer.
“Estranged” in its concise, radio edit forms — found the promo CD with rubber-stamp titles at a garage sale for about $3.
“Better” in its original demo arrangement with the “I know you know you know better” line. Made me a zealot in favor of NuGNR.

“Playing with everyone from Space Ghost to Michael Jackson.”
As opposed to singing for Scooby …
I wouldn’t mind it if the man also allowed us to hear and buy actual GNR material.

02 - 06 because we became optimistic.
#337 Re: Guns N' Roses » Why no photo shoots after 1991? » 222 weeks ago
Tool has basically done the same thing. Led Zeppelin participated in fewer photo shoots as time went by, the last (I think) being the “outstanding in their field” one which they quite possibly only agreed to because it appealed to their sense of humor.
I think about the lyrics of “Limelight” and while as a fan I would enjoy some GNR photoshoots — they capture a moment in time — I also understand why it seems like a hassle.
The skull/pistols/roses iconography seems to be enough for Axl. Although God knows it has been done to death.

Sad news. We should all buy some downloads from his site so he can get decent replacements.
Would be terrific of Axl to release some Bucket-era tunes so royalty money goes his way.

Bumble was/is a great guy and genuine talent. His frustration with the band is ultimately the same as ours: He wanted more music.
#340 Re: Guns N' Roses » Sympathy for the Devil recording date? » 224 weeks ago
Agreed. GNR memorabilia and CDs were not hot in the late 1990s. With the band out of the spotlight I picked up probably 12 different CD bootlegs for about $10 each. Also found the Japanese “Welcome …” CD single for about $20. I was so happy. That was a weird rarity I had always wanted to get.
