The live era disc was a double live album released in 1999. The album was a good representation of the bands powerful live sound. Put together by band members separately it wasn't a blockbuster in terms of sales. A farewell from the 'old' band, a contractual obligation or a way to keep the Guns brand relevant in the late 90'S? We discuss its backstory and reimagine a live album from the decades which followed the original release.
In the final part of our three part Use Your Illusion series we take a look at the longest trek in Rock, the Use Your Illusion World tour. Spanning two and a half years from 1991-1993 it was one of the most memorable tours any rock band would ever embark upon.
In the second of the series we take a look at the second of the Illusions albums. To conclude we picked our own ultimate Illusion cut picking 15 of the 30 tracks.
In the first of this three part series we focus on the making of the epic Illusions records and the first album of the double series.
We take a run down through the entire video catalogue of GN'R to appreciate this lost artform.
In 2015 Duff McKagan released a book titled 'How to be a Man'. Discussing everything from travel, ageing, relationships,music, literature and rekindling with Axl Rose it is both witty and observational. He also released a companion EP to accompany the book with Jerry Cantrell and Izzy stradlin onboard. We take a look at both here and discuss why its worth your time.
In the late 90's following the collapse of the band Axl Rose set out to rebuild Guns N'Roses with a new lineup. We take a look at the formation of this band, subsequent tours and the constant battle Axl fought to make the band relevant.
The Greatest Hits compliation was released in March 2004. Did you agree with the track listing? We dissect it from top to bottom selecting the tracks we thought should have made the final cut. How close where we to your own choice? We also look at the backstory to the compilation's release.
Stepping in to replace Izzy Stradlin at the band's zenith, Gilby Clarke jumped from club's to Rock's grandest stages seemingly over night. Gilby proved to be as reliable as they come surviving the gruelling Illusions tour. Gilby's solo efforts also really pack a punch and we take a look at his solo efforts from 1994's 'Pawnshop Guitars' to 2021's 'The Gospel Truth'. We discuss what tracks could have been for GN'R and also his tenure in the band to his exit in 1994. We also discuss our picks w...
1993 saw the release of the first solo release from Duff McKagan. 'Believe in Me penned and played by Duff it also boasts an all star cast. The album came at a very turbulent time for Duff coming off the long winded Illusions Tour. Duff would go back out on the road to tour the album before pulling the plug due to his ongoing health problems. We discuss the story around the album.
West Arkeen songwriter and guitarist who was gone far too soon. West known to many Guns fans was the co-writer of various GN'R tracks. Hardcore fans are well aware of other gems he co-wrote with different Guns members like Crash Diet and Sentimental Movie. We discuss his part in the GN'R story, his band The Outpatience and his tragic death in the mid 90s.
Released in 2007 Slash's autobiography was highly anticipated as it was the first ever book from a band member to be released. It worked as both rock memoir and first hand account of the band's history. Slash aimed to set the record straight at the time regarding the demise of GN'R. Did it get us any closer to understanding the man beneath the top hat? All these years later how does it stack up against the other member's books? We discuss.
A retrospective conversation to end the year. The 2023 tour, Lighthouse, The Monster & General leaks, the trivial, the humerous and those ugly lawsuits that emerged late in the year.
The cracks had been appearing as far back as 1989 within the band. The next few years would see the band lose it's founding members and begin a long period of power struggles and cold relations. It would ultimately result in finger pointing in the media for many years afterwards. It was a dark era for Guns N'Roses and one in which it seemed like a resolution would never emerge. We delve deep into this fascinating period of the bands history.
Quick hit reaction to 'The General' finally getting it's official release.
1988 saw the release of GN'R lies, a record comprising the 1986 'Live like a Suicide' tracks alongside a batch of brand new acoustic tracks recorded over one weekend. The EP contained one of Guns most popular songs 'Patience' and it's most controversial number 'One in a Million'. On it's 35th annivesary we discuss the story of the EP and the firestorm which surrounded it.
Guns N' Roses got the opportunity of a liftetime in 1989 to open 4 shows in LA for the Rolling Stones. Guns were going through an extremely turbulent time and the shows where filled with drama. The gig's almost ended Guns N'Roses. We look at the influence of the Stones on GN'R, the Colliseum gigs, that magical peformance of 'Salt of the Earth' on pay per view in Atlantic city and of course the 1994 GN'R cover of 'Sympathy for The Devil'.
Released in 2011 Duff McKagan's 'It's So Easy & other lies' is perhap's the best read of all the GN'R related books out there. It's an amazing comeback story from the depths of addiction. It offer's a very insightful look into GN'R's rise to fame followed by the band's collapse. Written at a time when he had eventually mended fences with Axl Rose it's both an inspiring tale and a frightenignly cautious one. We chat about why we thought it was the best of the bunch.
Duff is back with a new album and we react.
Guns latest single 'The General' was slated to be released October 27th and has now been delayed unitl December. We discuss the track's delay and the reported leak 'The General & Monster's.
