Of course there's lots more on my site, just look for anything in green.  I also added some things in the wanted section and I updated the links too.  Enjoy!

[WAR41]

I just scanned your list, and looked at the Chinese Democracy albums.  Amazing dude.  Would you care to share the background on how you obtained the alternate cover CD albums?

[nick6sic6]

You are the main reason I stopped collecting....Just when I thought I had some pretty rare stuff,I came across your site.
Oh and the financial crisis as well....I forgot about that

[troccoli]

Will respond soon I swear.  Not a lot of time right now.

[hsvhsv83]

Would be nice to see the Locomotive video ;-)

[WAR41]

I second the Locomotive video request!  That red dog artwork from the UYI 2 cassette and CD is so strange and out of place. 

I am serious when I say this, I hope that you write down how you obtained each item you have collected.  As a fan I would love to read about how you got some of these rare pieces, particularly from the old days.  Names don't have to be mentioned

But I am eagerly awaiting your story regarding the CD alternate covers!

[nick6sic6]

Would be nice to see the Locomotive video ;-)

+1 million not just plus one.I really too want to see what the Locomotive video is...
It's def not an officially producted video,as far as we know.
Could it be a live version of one of the few times they played it ? It's not on any live dvd sirculating...I had dreams about watching Locomotive live,either on a old days dvd popping up or the band now putting it on the setlist.Amazing....
Imagine a double dvd of the aug 3 1991 show ! Proshot,high quality and soundboard audio.

I'll have to get the Locomitive and Civil War videos up on youtube or something soon.  As for the cds, I have had the Red Hand one for a while.  I bought 6 sealed ones on ebay a while back.  You can find the whole story on here somewhere.  Then I bought the grenade cd and an opened red hand cd from a certain person, most of you can guess who.  And I do mean figuratively, there is no need to actually guess as I won't confirm or deny.  A little research will probably get you the answer you are looking for anyways.  Didn't pay as much as they wanted initially, but eventually me and the seller found a price we were both happy with.  Yes, the quality of the grenade cd is not the same as the red ahnd or regular version.  Both of those are market ready.  The grenade cd is demo/prototype only.  I was skeptical at first and filed a dispute on PayPal which I immediately escalated to a claim.  I then had the item officially confirmed as legit and withdrew the claim.  Not gonna say any more than that, sorry!  I did notice that some of the pics of the grenade are out of order, and a pic or 2 is missing from the red hand.  Will correct that ASAP!

Please do !

Great story troccoli.  I know I've said it before, but I hope you get the opportunity to show your collection to members of the band, both past and present.  I can't help but think that any of them would like to see it. 

Were the songs on the Live Era Spain promo video the same as those found on Live Era except in video format?  If not, what songs are they? 

Oh and I am dying to know who the hell had a Hollywood Rose ticket from 1984 and a 1985 Troubadour ticket!!

Man, I would love to show people in the band the collection, almost got a chance during the Vegas NYE 2011 shows.  Not sure about the video, haven't watched it.  Will try to soon.  As for the tickets, I know some people gradually selling their collections off.

I have the Interview magazine from 1992 that contains the interview with Axl and the black and white photos of Axl and Stephanie Seymour (the tongue one, etc....). Is that of any value?

Hard to know.  Search ebay to see if you can find it and how much it sold for in the past.

[Gavgnr]

Troc, amazing that you got the grenade disc!! Congrats!

Glad to hear its legit. It's a great booklet

[GnRScouse]

Thanks Troc, I had a look on ebay but couldn't find it.
