Not In This Lifetime Selects starts today

[sky dog]

Nightrain was quite tasty.

This select is amazing, maybe the best one yet... I really enjoy these videos or reminisces of the concerts we witnessed .
Its incredible how well the whole band sounds, live on the stadium floor and on these videos. Have in mind that what we hear through these videos is filtered compared to the sound you hear on the stadium floor. On the concert you simply do not hear that much difference between the sometimes "conserved" voice and the raspy one, at least I didn't on 5 occasions. What you hear is a beautiful mix of three guitars, drums, pianos and all other instruments and Axl`s voice on top of that, echoing through hundreds of speakers in combination with the noise/singing of 30K+ people... It really does not make much sense commenting Axl's voice on a 3.5 hour rock concert which repeats itself almost 150 times per year, for three years

Hmmm...... I wasn't very impressed at all! Last one was great.

If you release nothing, it's not good.
When you release something, it's not good enough, it's not what some want etc.


Why not just enjoy it instead of focusing on whether or not some one missed a note, whether or not it sounds as good as show X or maybe show Y....

This is exactly why I'm not buying the "WE WANT NEW MUSIC"  line as some kind of answer to everything. These will probably be the people who will use terms like "overproduced" when describing the music...

man ok, but it’s like they don’t care or they don’t have ears... it’s like having 2-3 charlize theron nude pics but showing the one in which she wears a fuckin burqa. You know it’s always a charlize pic, but you can’t be satisfied knowing they had the nude ones. You start a selection with axl almost crackin two notes and slash’s out of tune guitar?  Cmon...

[jarmo]

The reality is that you could be imagining of having those nude pics and instead having fake Photoshopped ones, drawings and other inferior material.

Once you get the real deal, you complain that the pose is wrong, the light is wrong, the photos were developed wrong etc.



In other words, you forgot that you had nothing and were complaining about it. Until you had something, and you're still complaining about it. That's the reality we live in.

Now I get it, every one has their opinion and preferences. But it just seems like the whole act of wanting something is not true to some. They don't want something, they want something very specific. And even then, it's probably not gonna be what they thought they wanted.


GN'R put something for fans to enjoy for free on Yuotube? Awesome!
Is it from the show you wanted them to put there? No? Ok, either enjoy it, or hope for better luck next time.
Doesn't sound the way you want it to sound? Better luck next time.

100% correct. But if u go and read the comments almost everywhere, nobody complained about Houston, for example. Again it’s like they don’t get what people like the most. Just this. It shouldn’t be this difficult to distinguish between a good performance and a bad one. They have thousands shows, can’t they pick better Cause i really could pick better..

That's part of my point.

If the choice is to post nothing or Wichita. Which do you pick?

If your choice is to post something now, instead of waiting longer for the possibility of something else, which do you pick?

Depends on their reason for posting.

I'll admit it. I'll never understand people who complain about not having anything, then complain when they got something that it's not what they wanted.

Be honest. Don't go on and on about how you (not you personally) want something, because in reality you want something very specific that might not even exist in the form you want it.

Don't say "I want live clips on YouTube for me to watch for free." when you only want clips from the summer of 2016 for example. And if it's possible to be even more specific, even better.


At the end of the day, someone who wants something very specific isn't gonna be happy if they get something else. It's been obvious for years now.

For example, "We want a reunion".... Nope, you weren't happy with Duff and Slash back in the band. You wanted the AFD line up....

 


Nothing too serious here. Just poking fun at things that make no sense to me. I mean, complaining about complaining probably makes no sense to others...

I hope we get more streaming from GNR, it's nice to see them perform.  It's nice how they mix up the songs from different albums.

[jarmo]

Me too.

So,instead of releasing a dvd - bluray as an obvious next move ,we get the official selects.No need to whine.What would be interesting though is  behind the scenes - preparations - soundcheck footage of a NITL show.

[jarmo]

Who knows. If they are instead of a DVD/Bluray release or just a supplement.... Whatever the reason, it's nice!

To me Something is better than nothing, but only if that something meets the expectations of the people or a decent standard. And It's not like you have to realease new music and you don't really know your target... You KNOW, for example, that people makes fun of the mickey mouse voice, and u keep showing axl out of breath with that weak voice, knowing that there are really much better performances? I don't need to see that in HD, man. It's all about taste and their own interest to not feed the fire vs axl's voice (maybe they want us to get used to that kind of voice?) or vs the band not at its top. It's like they put out the Bridge School Benefit Concert cause it's better than nothing. Cmon, they can do a lot better... And i'm not even talking only about axl, for example in the first selection you can hear probably the worst chinese democracy ever played by slash  ...we are talking about a "selection" man, not about whatever you have.

[jarmo]

As I said, maybe you're not the target audience then? Because it's not what you want.

And you know if they put out something perfect, made to sound as good as possible, you'd be the first to point out that it's not how it sounded at the show...

So until they post exactly what you want, maybe skip these videos?



Let me explain it to you again. The selections are made out of content that's available. If show X is available, but show Y (which is what you want) isn't, they'll post what they have. Easy. It doesn't say The Best Clips Of The Tour or Selections Of The Most Amazing Clips In Our Archives...

100% true

Sure, I will stuck on houston show

Ok man but not everything that is available is valuable. Just this. You have a legacy to defend, and we all know that gnr has had highs and lows, but if i was the gnr manager i'd rather show the higs, you know...But, again, it looks like they don't know (or they don't care) what are the highs.

[jarmo]

Tell that to all those complaining about the band not releasing anything. The ones who want something.....


The old truth is still true: You can't please everyone.

It felt so good to listen to this ''Wichita'' version. I think it's duo to the fact that I'm (re)reading Slash's book after 13 years and he tells that the acoustic set was the way GN'R wrote their songs back in the day. I know it's not completely acoustic but you can get a feel of it anyway.
