Awesome Albums
Breakdown, Locamotive, Coma, Pretty Tied Up, Bad Apples, Perfect Crime are just a few Gems on these albums that got little to no air play

20 years!
That's amazing really, the albums are holding up really well. A lot of classics as well as many underrated gems on those records.
My first GN'R record was actually UYI 2.

The local Buffalo station (1033 The Edge) played 6-8 tracks off UYI 2 yesterday (including Estranged and Locomotive!), which is exciting because as of a few years back they N-E-V-E-R played GNR

I can't believe it's gonna be 20 years tomorrow. I remember till this day skipping school to wait for the record store to open. Bought both on CD, LP n' cassete. I remember that when I first got it in my hands I saw Live And Let Die at I n' Yesterdays at II but I was so excited that I didn't relate the name Yesterdays to those precious seconds where Axl is singing with Wes on acoustic guitars so I thought there were a McCartney song in one n' a Beatles song at the II ! lol.

Seems like yesterday I was in the sixth grade and my Dad went to the Midnight Sale at Flipside Records to buy them for me! My mom yelled at me for waiting up for him to get home. Then when I woke up, I only saw UYI 1 on my desk...found out he took II to work! And that year it was my first CD!

20 years, holy shit.
My father picked up UYI on CD for me the day it came out. Only problem was, I didn't own a CD player yet!
Had to wait until next day to return it for cassette.

I remember going to the local (overpriced) record store with my mother and - I was 14- and when I walked in the store there were tons of promotional items and cases of the two CD's in the old long boxes. Great memory, great albums.

Mad Season was a side band Layne Stanley had at the 90's - there's a song called "Long Gone Day" -

I'll check that out. I may of heard it but don't know it by name. The image is from HTGTH - it was one of the options that are available for your avatar. Jarmo will probably have that.

Love Mad Season, find myself playing it on the guitar occasionally.

I remember buying it from the local store, "Record Stop", on Long Island on the Friday before it's official release...Who would have thought Nirvanas Nevermind went on sale that day as well...There was a line of people waiting for the UPS guy to bring in the boxes o' UYI CD's...Chain outlets opened at midnight to sell them.. Boy times have changed...Chinese Democracy really missed out on that excitement due to leaks, internet sales etc...

I need to drop by this thread to say my sentiments for these 2 albums...
These albums have helped me through so much in my life. At a time when I needed something more softer than Appetite, these 2 albums let me get lost in a world of ballads, rock and pure melodic greatness. I must have spent a whole year listening to these albums non-stop when I first discovered them, and now they are still listened to along with GN'Rs whole catalogue.
Axl's lyrics, Slash's solos, Duff's basslines, Matts drums, Izzys superb rhythm and songwriting, along with Dizzy's brilliance. All of them made a truely unique album, and UYI 1&2 still stand the test of time, and will go down in history no doubt.
