Album artwork reissue?

[Ruiner]

I took a lot of time out from this place, since Robin left I lost all interest in the band. I'd probably be somewhat interested still if Axl had picked a better replacement - Asba is a product, from his persona and clothing to his silly Les Paul's and Website - where he appears to be taking credit for the entire GNR back catalogue. Thankfully they still have Bumble!
Rant aside - I just popped CD into my player and reminded myself how brilliant some of these songs are...only to be let down by the packaging and booklet!
I remember Axl mentioning a Grenade cover in his Q&A Thread, December 2008.
I think this album deserves a decent packaging, especially with all that cash and work having been devoted to it over the many, many years.
Any word?

These days bands seem to release delux editions of albums that contain extra songs or bonus DVDs featuring promos or live stuff. I always expected Chinese Democracy to get a "special edition" with extra shit on it (remixes or live stuff). I think that they'll probably do it eventually, with a better booklet.

only thing i have to say is; thank god for dj ashba

[Ruiner]

His vibrato stinks-

I can't take anybody seriously that thinks that is good playing.
Also, what's the point in him playing the first part of the Sweet Child solo if Bumble has to finish it off!?

He plays that solo MUCH better later on in the tour. That was the first show, mind you.

No word so far but hey - you can always make your own booklet!  :











etc.

Ashba is much better live than Finck much much better
Finck was very sloppy live i dont think he played the blues solo correctly once in 2002

haha holy shit that sucked!

[Iconic Shawn]

UGH!!!  And I thought Mongis sucked.

I was wondering if he was trying to sloppy it up a little to make it sound..  I don't know man.

This dude sucks. What you said about him + the back catalog hit the nail right on the head.

And yeah dude.. YOU keep waiting for that re-release

~S~

[LostInTheGarden]

[Iconic Shawn]
