That’s his claim but pretty sure he admitted he relapsed with VR. Wouldn’t surprise me if it was around this time.

It’s cool footage. But also I glimpse (massive assumption on my part) that they were fucked up. At least Duff and Slash. Something about their eyes.

Anyone else find it odd how often Madagascar is showing up as an encore? Maybe plans to include a re-recording on an upcoming release?

The only thing we are missing from the UYI era is quality footage from the tour. The demos were already leaked/became Spaghetti Incident. Don’t care.

It’s fake because it’s not spelled “Skool.”

It’s an official release from the band. It counts. I get what you’re saying but don’t really think it’s up for debate.

Stray Cat Blues…the song that made Axl hire Richard in the first place.
Preeeeeetty sure we can rule out Sympathy for the Devil.

The performance on The Late Show polluxlm posted is probably their best performance ever. The high quality of the vid has something to do with it of course...but they were just on fire in 88. Best band in the world at the time.
It's a travesty that they didn't do more of these TV shows. They should've been all over US and British TV.
They were just so massive that they didn't have to.

I wish they could have done a longer set.
Funny thing....
That performance is like six months before Lies gets released. They should've been performing SCOM...red hot at the time...and maybe Jungle.
Instead they do an unreleased song and a slow version of a deep cut.
That took balls....and it's a perfect example of how unpredictable they really were back then.
This performance is also a good example of why they can still fill stadiums over 30 years later even with a small discog.
It's because they were that good.
It's unfortunate that all we got out of that period... Axl's prime IMO...is four songs from recording Lies.
I guess we're lucky we got that....Geffen could've easily just rereleased Live Like A Suicide as is.
Another career highlight rarely talked about today....

This might be peak GNR...which is fitting considering the fact it's the final performance of the original lineup.
Again....the balls it took to do this set.
The wait/hype for Illusions is already underway. The whole world is watching just for GNR. Everyone is expecting them to do two hits...which is what everyone else is doing.....
But this is GNR. They don't do what is expected.
We get a brand new song which will soon be on the radio....and an obscure punk song no one has heard of.
They're on fire....and Axl will never look that cool again.
Probably exactly why we got Absurd as the first reunion single. Unsafe, unpopular.
#449 Re: Guns N' Roses » Will GNR release new music in 2021? » 273 weeks ago
One thing that worries me is how Hardschool was being rehearsed too but now has been dropped. This makes me think that they were going to release one song to promote the tour and they went with Absurd because it is easier to sing. But Beta said Absurd was part of the CD so idk
If i recall correctly, Absurd was the first song on the alternates and Hard Skool was second. If HS was intended to debut on this tour it would make sense Absurd came first.
#450 Re: Guns N' Roses » Will GNR release new music in 2021? » 273 weeks ago
They play in Chicago on Thursday 9/16 and Atlantic City the weekend before. If they debut Hard Skool in CA or LV I can see it in Atlantic City then released the night of Chicago. Though like I said earlier, I would release the single the same day I play it live so that leaves CA, LV, or Chicago as the main spots I guess. That is pretty much it for big cities, IIRC Australian and Mexico dates got canceled. If we don't get Hardschool in Chicago I will start getting worried that Absurd was just released to promote the tour.
As obvious as this seems, why should we ever expect it?
