gerrythedon

so disappointing . Where the are the albums on Blu-rays in Dolby Atmos? The demos?, The videos remastered? Coma, Garden, Locomotive live?

JeffTheAlpaca

Maybe they should only do a box set for Use Your Illusion 2

ViewAskewbian

Two of my favorite albums as a angst ridden teen!

I'm down for my LIVE GnR stuff but I gather this set is going to be really pricey.

cultshock

Yeah, very pricey. And very disappointing, no demos, unreleased tracks, etc. and the "new" version of November Rain (apparently just the orchestral parts have been rerecorded) completely replacing the original version, instead of being an extra track. I would love the Blu-ray of the '91 Ritz show but the only way to get it is to buy the expensive sets, you can't buy it individually. Oh well, I'll probably just pick up the regular editions of the vinyl, and maybe there will be a big price drop on the rest in the future as there was with the AFD sets.

Josh-da-man

I'm down for the 12-LP Super Deluxe Set and probably the 4-LP set on colored vinyl.

$625. What can I say, I'm a collector asshole with more money than sense.

My wife bought me deluxe "Appetite for Destruction" set for Christmas a few years back when it was selling at a steep discount, so I'll have to get this one to keep it company.

I will not, however, buy any kind of deluxe edition of "Chinese Democracy."

stvn1974

No surround for the album no sale. I like studio GNR but Axl live sounds like a cat choking on a frog while being strangled. The current discs sound great so I will be passing.

morriscroy

Heh.

Wonder how much of the live concerts were later overdubbed in the studio to cover up all their mistakes / sloppiness.

Geofferson

Nothing excites me here, unfortunately. Will likely stick with the OG pressings I bought as a kid.

Nesbit

preorder for the 12 lp set in. My first show ever was them and metallica touring off these.

stvn1974

Has Axl come on stage yet?

GuessWho

Letdown. I wanted demos and early takes, alternate versions. No interest in all the extras being live tracks.

cultshock

Totally agree. It's so weird that the AFD set had tons of studio extras but no live stuff and this set is just the opposite. Bands really need to take a cue from how Metallica does box sets, that's how it should be done. If the Blu-ray with the Ritz concert was released separately I'd definitely throw money at that, but since it's not I have to hope it ends up on Youtube or somewhere else online.

gerrythedon

Should of been 2 sets:

UYI

1. Album
2. Demos/Alternates/Rehearsals/Outtakes CD 1
3. Demos/Alternates/Rehearsals/Outtakes CD 2
4. Ritz show CD
5. Ritz show continue CD
6. Ritz show Blu-ray
7. Album in Dolby Atmos w/ videos

UYI II

1. Album
2. Demos/Alternates/Rehearsals/Outtakes CD 1
3. Demos/Alternates/Rehearsals/Outtakes CD 2
4. Vegas show CD
5. Vegas show continue CD
6. Vegas show end CD
7. Album in Dolby Atmos w/ videos

I'm , ... my favorite albums treated this way.

PhantomStranger

Disappointing to say the least. So we aren't getting the studio album in Hi-Rez? The music labels are getting stingier about physically releasing Hi-Rez masters out to the public. First the Revolver box and now this nonsense. Methinks it's some sort of strategy to keep Hi-Rez versions exclusive to streaming services.

There's also the nonsense forcing buyers to buy the individual CD releases if they want absolutely everything.

stvn1974

Maybe there aren't any demos or outtakes because they were all lost in that Universal fire?

gerrythedon

Decker

Yikes.

JZ1276

Another set with no 5.1 or Atmos BluRay disc.
Appetite had the entire album remixed for 5.1 surround & included on a BluRay.
All the previous Beatles sets had them also but the upcoming Revolver doesn't... even though the album was remixed for Atmos.

cultshock

That theory has been going around, but I don't think there's any confirmation on that?

Nesbit

After reviewing the track lists a few dozen times i’ve decided to cancel my preorder and am setting my personal buy price at $250 for the lp mega set used or new and i’m not planning on ever owning it.

They’re two of the biggest albums in the world to me.I prefer them to Appetite even though i can’t argue they’re better in any way.

Sadly if they had just included a live version of Coma and/or Locomotive I wouldn’t be able to cancel. Seriously I know they don’t play them live often but it has happened and i think a 270 disc special edition should at least include one alternative (live,demo, whatever) version of EVERY song on the albums. There should be an alternate take of fucking My World let alone Coma. *€|@!!

So I have read that the Dolby Atmos mixes were done and turned in but the band (?) turned them down. if true

stvn1974

Yep, done by Steven Wilson.
