I think there is a good chance and am really in favor of doing something for the "Illusions." Both of the "Illusions" are among the biggest selling rock records of the 90's and yet I feel that they are largely glossed over when it comes to recognizing their significance. A kick ass deluxe edition could help give these records the proper recognition, especially for younger fans. "Appetite" put the band on the map , but the "Illusions" solidified them as the biggest band on earth.
I think a good indicator would be the number of UYI tunes in selists this summer. Let's face it, Axl largely ignored them except for the singles for much of post-2001. Will the other 2's return mean we get more album cut type tunes? Dunno. But think it would be a good sign for something like this to occur. I think the reason many songs were not played post-2001 is because unlike Appetite the songs on UYI are a little more clear-cut Slash songs, Izzy songs and Axl songs. |

I thought the same. But why no 'Dead Horse'? That's a 100% Rose composition. And it was a single and video. And hell, he finally had a third guitarist to do the acoustic parts. |

Could be any reason, not sure. That's just one song though. They never played 14 Years until they did it with Izzy, so that kinda supports the theory. |

It was the same with Velvet Revolver. They've never played songs like November Rain or Estranged.

Yeah I'm ready for a switch up on the set list.
It's gotta be 24 songs i think.
AFD was more of a band effort and UYI was more divided. you guys are right.
I just want a set list where there's like 10 songs in stone every night then the other 12-14 are revolving or something.

I know he's against promoting the old band

Yeah, that's what I said  I have no problem with this thread. I just answered slashofvr's question, Jarmo is apparently not against the idea of Anniversary or Deluxe editions of the albums since he created a thread about it... |

Harder if you have a big stage show with a lot of lights and pyro. Even that "we don't have a setlist" bit was only true for May-July 1991. After that, you could pretty much guess the setlist most night and be right within a song or two. |

Give Jarmo a break, he fucking loved this band before most of you knew who they were...
As far as an anniversary release, I would be all for it. Original remaster with some extras that didn't make the cut would be fine by me, hell even a track or 2 we never heard of before?

If they did this properly it could be a killer time.
It would sell... they'd make money and the fans would be elated.
I want more UYI stuff. That long ass tour and all that backstage footage they recorded... the 94-96 timeframe had some songs and demos. I want that stuff
