#901 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses Vinyl LPs » 790 weeks ago

The thing about vinyl is, if you really want the best sound quality then bigger is better. You get the best sound quality from 12" singles (33 1/3rpm playing speed) , 7" singles (45 rpm) are ok I suppose but not that great, you used to get 10" vinyl that were pretty cool, they were 45rpm as well but much, much better quality.

It bugs me that people nowadays buy albums on vinyl, there is multiple tracks on each side of the 12" LP's, and they expect to hear this difference in sound quality from their cd's - but for the most part they wont because LP's were never that great for sound quality, there was so many tracks squeezed into one side that the sound quality was poor.
But take the same size record and have just one or 2 songs per side, then you've got yourself that legendary sound that shits on cd's 22

I've still got the magazines and newspapers I bought for the reviews and pictures, man it was such an exciting time!

Even just one new song this time around would be enough to rekindle that excitement in me, it would go a long way to show that there is still some ambition left in this band.

I threw my first booklet away in disgust, bought another copy of the CD last year cause the other one started skipping, and last night was the first I bothered to take the booklet out the case and open it up.

That Canada tour was probably the best leg in hindsight, lots of new songs, Axl sounded great, lots of good reviews and very little controversy.

Is it really such an impossible task that they couldnt match it this year in the US?

#905 Re: Guns N' Roses » Alternate artwork (NEW scans inside!) » 790 weeks ago

I was comparing the released booklet to this alternate one last night and cant believe how amaturish the one we all got was. I was pissed off about it from the beginning, but looking at them side by side, I was fucking right to be. Its really obvious how haphazardly thrown together it really was, the mind boggles that such an important album could be treated so  carelessly. I've said it before, its so bad that I could quite believe that someone somewhere with an agenda, was actually quite dilligent in making sure this version was the one released.

Anyhoo...one more thing I noticed that was different was, in Axls thank yous, the very first paragraph is missing in the official release. Bit of a glaring ommission since it contains what a lot of us were a bit disapointed not to see in the official release - a wee nod to the fans.


"Axl Thanks:

Everyone who was ever supportive, (and in no particular order whatsoever...) family, those who made our house a home, freinds, our fans around the world, everyone involved's family's for their understanding, patience and support, anyone who ever came out to any of the shows, let us on the radio, gave us the benefit, our business team and associates, our road crew."

Awwww big_smile

That would be pretty cool lol!

Wonder if ITW will make a comeback this time around, it got left off the setlist for more than the 2nd half of the last tour. They seemed to get a real kick out of playing it, and it was thought it was ditched to preserve Axls voice, so I'll be interested to see if it returns.

#907 Re: Guns N' Roses » 2011-12 Guns n Roses Tour » 791 weeks ago

I'll be flabbergasted if they dont play any CD songs, I'm fully expecting the same setlist as the last tour.

I think you take music and Estranged way too serious. It's just a tune. If they wanna play it, I'd be happy to hear how they do it and then judge it. You sort of act like it's blasphemy...a bit like those Islamic cartoons or something 16

What do you mean, sorta like blasphemy?

DJ, or anyone else playing estranged is blasphemy big_smile

#909 Re: Guns N' Roses » 2011-12 Guns n Roses Tour » 791 weeks ago

I wouldnt mind if its never played again, its my favourite song and I like how its been kept sacred. I might just vomit if I have to see DJ pouting and blowing kisses through it, if anyone has to play it I'd rather it was Ron, but if it is played they will probably share the solo's between the 3 of them like NR.

#910 Re: Guns N' Roses » 2011-12 Guns n Roses Tour » 791 weeks ago

I think Estranged and Civil War will return, and mabye one new track. Just cause the album isnt coming soon doesnt mean they cant debut one new track to gauge interest.
