Title: Live Era WEIRD Spanish promo sampler!!!!! Post by: Christos AG on November 14, 2005, 12:27:01 PM What makes it strange?
I'll tell ya... Live Era was released in 1999. This is a promo for the double album. No other year, than 1999, is mentioned on the card sleeve. However, the 2 gigs that GN'R were supposed to play in 2001 in Spain are listed on its back, along with the names of the new band members, which is the first time I see these names on an official cd (from what I remember...) and feels a little strange... but good. :D AND, the songs are cut... like radio mixes. I don't have any other sampler from Live Era so I don't know if this is normal. The front cover is the normal one, the one Pandora has on her site. Check the back. (http://www.gunsnroses.gr/Christos/LIVEERASPANISH.jpg) Do you know anything about it? Title: Re: Live Era WEIRD Spanish promo sampler!!!!!

Do you know anything about it? well all i can presume is its a later release due to the publicity they got from Rio as to whether the songs are cutill have to listen to mine and see :confused: Title: Re: Live Era WEIRD Spanish promo sampler!!!!!

Strange indeed.

1. Why these 5 titles are listed there? Were these songs by this lineup supposed to be included? 2. & 3. They had the phrase ie "Chinese democracy starts now" ready and a plan to tour in the 2001 with Robin, BH and Brain, by the time this cover was printed??before November 29th / 30th, 1999. :o Am I Right? Robin, BH and Brain, and no Josh Freese! When Robin was supposed to be out! Rose: We're hoping. Yes, definitely, everything seems to be going well. Robin's departure was abrupt, sudden, you know, not expected... Loder: He just wanted to get back to Nine Inch Nails, right? Rose: [continuing] ... but at the same time, it's turned out to be a good thing......... - November 13th, 1999 Bloody hell, :D This is wicked, out and out. shouldn't this news be in the GNR section as well?

Post by: Will on November 14, 2005, 03:43:00 PM Interesting to mention that they played live all these songs besides "Don't Cry"...The regular sampler has 8 tracks on it by the way.

Post by: Pandora on November 14, 2005, 07:49:17 PM The regular sampler has 8 tracks on it by the way. No, the regular spanish sampler has 5. There are 3 versions : USA (8 songs), Spain (5 songs) and Mexico (8 songs). Title: Re: Live Era WEIRD Spanish promo sampler!!!!! Post by: Will on November 14, 2005, 07:51:33 PM My bad, I meant "the regular US sampler". Just add "US" to my post.
Am I gonna be sentenced to life for forgetting to add "US"? ;D Title: Re: Live Era WEIRD Spanish promo sampler!!!!! Post by: Pandora on November 14, 2005, 08:04:39 PM Am I gonna be sentenced to life for forgetting to add "US"? Yes. I'm thinking right now about the exact nature of your sentence for this awful crime. ;D Title: Re: Live Era WEIRD Spanish promo sampler!!!!! Post by: leesixxrose on November 17, 2005, 04:24:02 PM Maybe its a fake??? or it was made after 2001....the dates of the Spanish gigs do not say 2001 on it....
