Heh, I stole my Dad's copy of AFD and kept it for a year or so. When I eventually got around to buying my own copy, I put the original disc in my brothers room and blamed it on him. It was great.

/puts on Anything Goes. Da[size=2]mn[/size] I love this song. Those grooving verses are so incredibly badas[size=2]s[/size].

I got all my GNR from the library.

:cool:

i had afd in my cd player and i had the volume all the way up. my sister comes in my room and hits play and she get the **** knocked out of her. i belive she knew where she was. shes in ****ing jungle babby your going to die in the jungle.

I bought the albums in this order;

AFD > UYI2 > GNR Lies > UYI1 > SI > Live Era

Funnily enough that's pretty much the order in which I enjoy the albums the most (excluding Live Era). So I basically listened to the band getting gradually worse from the moment I bought AFD. I only very recently bought Live Era and I really like it, the version of Nightrain on there is so kickass.

I'm not much of a fan of the UYI Albums really. If I put them both together, I could make one album of awesome tracks, and another of what I think is a bit garbage. Oh well, that's just me.

Live Era is awesome though. My mum bought me it a few years ago, and went for a good couple of weeks of just listening to it. No [i]Civil War[/i] was always a little disappointing for me though.

I like the UYI albums alot. Some tracks I never bother with, but theres some awesome stuff on there.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]I like the UYI albums alot. Some tracks I never bother with, but theres some awesome stuff on there.[/QUOTE]Yeah, pretty much same here. UYI2 is pretty good for the most part, only a few tracks which I might skip.

Whilst it would have been cool to see them create a single UYI album with the best from both albums, I'm glad they got all the material out that they could. Waiting for Chinese Democracy would be all the more tedious with less material to listen to in the meantime.

Lies era is excellent.

Move to the city, Nice boys and Reckless life are brilliant tracks.

TAKE ME DOWN TO THE PARADISE CITY WHERE THE GRASS IS GREEN AND THE GIRLS ARE PRETTY TAKE ME HOME yeah yeah!!!

Great song.

SHE LOVES YOU YEAH YEAH YEAH SHE LOVES YOU YEAH YEAH YEAH SHE LOVES YOU YEAH YEAH yeah.

Ever hear there cover version of that beatles classic?

That was pretty damn good, I like that song alot.

Yeah, that's one of the best live versions of that song.

So Axl was on the VMA's last night. Was introducing a band, but didn't really say an awful lot. He did look the part though, and came down and screamed "Do you know where the f[I]uc[/I]k you are?!".

What's more interesting is the interview backstage with Axl, where he insists the album will come out this year;

:( He really couldn't have introduced a worse band if he had tried...

GNR nub Post, but is IRS on Chinese Democracy? or is it from an album I do not have? IE, The Spaghetti Incident.

Yeah I know, The Killers suck :(

IRS should be on Chinese Democracy. Or at least, it's unreleased thus far.

Ah, thought so. Should be a fine one there, love the chorus.

[QUOTE=Kyle]Yeah, that's one of the best live versions of that song.

I must be insane!! And everyone loves Daniel Johns.

The 'classic rock' radio station here was playing GNR live songs all night. It was sweet.

Guys, Axl is, was and always will be a secksy beast.

I wonder if he still has the body to pull off a pair or short shorts?

Probabaly not... he's about 40 now, right?

I'm going to listen to Lies later...

Yeah, but it would make a good front cover for Chinese Democracy amirite?

[I]Lies [/I] gets better with every listen for me. It's great to hear those early live tracks, and also the rare acoustic sound. There aren't any tracks which are particuarly bad, and it's nice and balanced.

Front cover..hmm I donno maybe back.
yeah, I hustle Lies from my dad. Its
an awsome album

I have the live dvd for UYI1 and
when Axl where's those red tight shorts

Pfft you want him.

everyone wants him

guns n roses are ****ing awesome, i realy hope this new album gets released someday cos the new songs ive heard so far have been the muts nuts :thumb:

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids;13239101]Pfft you want him.[/QUOTE]Clearly why I'd definitely see him live. I didn't expect my friends to want to come see new GNR but about 8 of us are going. But I highly doubt I can get 8 seats on floor/level one together. I'm gonna be stuck with like, level 4 seats again. Calgary tickets are on sale Saturday.

Well, at least you're seeing them :)

How fast do you guys think the Canadian tickets will sell?

Fast. Floor tickets seemed to be non existant when it went on sale. An hour after, some floor tickets came out of no where right after my friend already got the sh[size=2]i[/size]tty level 2 seats.. I just found out Sebastian Bach is opening for them :) It should still be good. Kind of.

Sebastian Bach played here about a month ago. I didn't go, but a mate of mine did and he said they played 2 and a half songs then walked off because people were throwing stuff at them.

Bachs band were great when I saw them.

Something kinda' History
 

"Guns N' Roses was founded in Los Angeles in June 1985. Their unique style incorporated punk, blues, thrash, and other genres of music into the popular heavy metal music of the time. The band was formed by singer Axl Rose, guitarists Tracii Guns and Izzy Stradlin, bassist Duff McKagan, and drummer Rob Gardner. The name was derived from the last names of Guns and Rose, and makes reference to members previous bands: Hollywood Rose and LA Guns.
When Tracii Guns and Robbie Gardner could not attend the first Guns N' Roses show in Seattle, Rose called guitarist Slash and drummer Steven Adler, whom he had met recently, and asked if they would join the band on stage for the show, they agreed and creating band's most famous line-up. On the way back to Los Angeles, the five members wrote the lyrics for the song "Welcome to the Jungle", which eventually became their signature song."

"The band released a self-produced EP, Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide, in 1986. Copies of the EP reached Geffen Records executives who soon signed the band. Appetite for Destruction, GNR's debut album, was released on August 21, 1987. The album sold twenty million copies and hit #1 on the charts. The album included the songs "Welcome to the Jungle", "Sweet Child O' Mine" and "Paradise City", all of which were top ten singles on the Billboard charts. As of 2005, Appetite For Destruction remains the best-selling debut album of all time.
The band began opening shows for major bands in the rock industry, but as Appetite for Destruction's sales began to rise, a world tour in support of the album was scheduled. Guns N' Roses traveled across United States, and in the spring of 1988, they were invited to the notorious Monsters of Rock Festival in Europe. The band shared the stage with groups including Iron Maiden, KISS and Judas Priest. The behavior of the members of GNR was gathering attention from the media. McKagan, Slash and Adler were constantly seen on stage under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Members of the crew at the time even stated that Slash had to be carried on to the stage by a group of people and that he often passed out after the concerts ended. During the Monsters of Rock concert in the UK, two fans were killed when the crowd present at the concert began jumping and surging forward at when the Guns N' Roses' show started. The media blamed the deaths of the fans on the band, although they were unaware of the incident until after the show ended. All these events during the Appetite for Destruction tour earned the group the title of "the most dangerous band in the world."

"The song "Welcome to the Jungle" was included on the soundtrack of the fifth Dirty Harry movie The Dead Pool, which led to a couple of seconds of screen time for the band.
Guns N' Roses' next release was the half-acoustic CD G N' R Lies in 1988, which hit #2 on the music charts. The song "One In A Million", which used the words "******s" and "large bundle of stickss", led to controversy that accused the band (or Axl) of racism and homophobia. Axl denied these allegations, pointing out that he was a fan of homosexual singers like Freddie Mercury and Elton John and that his then lead guitarist was half black."

"In 1989, Guns N' Roses were presented with an American Music Award for favorite Pop/Rock single for "Sweet Child O' Mine". At the televised annual award show in 1989, Duff McKagan and Slash appeared intoxicated and used strong language while accepting the Best Heavy Metal Album award for Appetite For Destruction, and Best Heavy Metal Song award for "Paradise City". Because of the incident, subsequent American Music Award shows have been broadcast using a five second delay."

The behavior of some members of the group lead their music label to demand the band modify their habits. The members took steps to deal with their addictions after Rose threatened to end the band if they continued with their heavy drug abuse. He also spoke up about them during an opening set for the Rolling Stones in 1989 saying that "if some members don't stop dancing with Mr. Brownstone, Guns N' Roses will end." The band's heavy use and abuse of heroin is referenced throughout Appetite for Destruction; the song Mr. Brownstone is about heroin and its effects. (Brownstone is a slang term for heroin.)

"The Use Your Illusion Tour (1991–1993): In 1990 Guns N' Roses returned to the studio to begin recording their most ambitious undertaking yet. During the recording, drummer Steven Adler was unable to perform due to his struggles with his cocaine and heroin addiction. Adler was fired in August 1990, and replaced with the former drummer of The Cult, Matt Sorum. Keyboardist Dizzy Reed joined the band as a full time member. With enough music for a double album, the band instead chose to release Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II as two separate albums on September 17, 1991. The tactic paid off when the albums debuted as #2 and #1 on the Billboard Music charts.
After the release of the albums, Guns N' Roses went on a 28 month long world tour, which was famous for its success and for many controversial incidents along the way. In the summer of 1991, Axl Rose jumped into the audience during a concert in St. Louis, Missouri and hit one of the fans after taking away a video camera, which he was recording the show with. After that, Rose left the stage and the angry crowd began a riot in which dozens of people were injured. Rose was charged with having incited a riot, but the police were unable to arrest him until almost a year later, because the band went overseas to continue the tour. Charges were filed against Rose, but a judge ruled he had not directly incited the riot. During this time, guitarist Izzy Stradlin quit the band due to differences with Rose. He was replaced by Los Angeles based guitarist Gilby Clarke."

"The band also appeared at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert that year, and went on a mini-tour with American heavy metal band Metallica. During a show in August 1992 at Montreal's Olympic Stadium, Metallica frontman James Hetfield suffered severe burns after stepping too close to a pyrotechnics machine. Metallica was forced to cancel their part of the show, but asked Rose and Guns N' Roses to continue the concert. After a long delay, Guns N' Roses took the stage. However, Rose claimed he had problems with his voice that night and decided to cancel the band's presentation after just four songs. This led to another riot during a Guns N' Roses concert."
