That would be a next level troll. Don’t think they are smart enough to troll that hard. Crash Diet or Bring it Back Home make more sense to me.

Oh yeah I was being serious about the Ain't Goin' Down thing I bet it will happen. The main thing I want in the boxset is the stripped down versions and for them to do something like Metallica where they have a site where you can buy live shows. But that might be too much effort. I do wonder how many good sounding demos are there though. Like we know a Coma one exists cause a snippet leaked like last year but it doesn't sound like Axl is trying I wonder if others are like that.
I thought if they were gonna do Bring it Back Home it would be on the AFD one cause they were recorded then. Or like a separate thing
Wasn’t Aint Goin Down instrumental included on the AFD box?

My bad. Awfully slow around here.

Holy shit....
Until last night I had completely forgotten about this song's existence. Unbelievable.
It was a nice adrenaline shot of nostalgia. It'll be my new favorite song... for a few days anyways.
Been listening on YouTube but I'm gonna download the album.
Great song. Love the band. Divine Hammer is probably my favorite. Kind of crazy that Kim was able to start a band with her sister who didn’t know a lick of guitar and still make quality, radio friendly songs.

It’s obvious that most of the 99-02 versions of these songs were superior to their official release. Curious what tracks people think benefited from the final album treatment.
Only one I see is IRS. Need the Bucket solo and more power in the verses.
Thoughts?

How in the hell do you sign that shitty and lopsided of a record deal?!?
Just absolutely mind-blowing.
The moment they achieves a certain level of success, try to renegotiate the deal.
Look at the situation with Alanis in 95....
Got like a dollar a record for Jagged Little Pill.
Then look at these guys.....nada.
I know there's tons of corruption and shit deals in the industry. Hall and Oates signed a notoriously bad deal in the late 70s early 80s that fucked them bad when they became a virtual hit factory.
I feel sorry for them. In today's world, breaking away from the label isn't really going to help them.
I guess the general refrain would be “me and my brother like making music” label says “want us to make you albums so you can tour?” Band says “holy shit we can make a CD and tour!” And nothing is really discussed in between. Labels were a predatory business.

Yep....fans later on downplayed this in the later years in favor of the Axl-Slash saga.
That 92 interview that focused on Izzy was just dripping with spite.
They lost their mojo when he left.
It was obviously huge but what was Izzy going to contribute to Slash’s songs in 95 that wasn’t the southern blues rock Axl and Duff had already rejected?
Edit: point being I don’t think GnR would or could have mattered in the mid-90s after UYI. An early 2000s reunion would have.

I'm not kidding, this made laugh out loud. Hard. It's so Axl I can't even hate it.
#519 Re: The Sunset Strip » What Are You Listening To? » 299 weeks ago
It’s a shame because 15 years ago there was a real demand for the early 90s Seattle scene. Soundgarden and AIC both capitalized but in general seems like a missed opportunity for a lot of bands. People wanted to hear Cantrell, Cornell, McCready, Lanegan, Martin, Noveselic, Grohl, etc. I don’t think people really cared about under what name or label or whatever combination. Just wanted to hear those guys play and make meaningful music. Slip Away is a great example but lost in the shuffle because it was 7-10 yrs too late.
#520 Re: The Sunset Strip » What Are You Listening To? » 299 weeks ago
Amazing.
They should've did that second album without Layne like they originally wanted to. I was against it back then but they were too good for only one album and besides....it was really McCready's project, not Layne's.
Great call. Love those 3 Lanegan tracks on the deluxe edition.
