Re: RUMOR: GN'R Reunion @ Soundwave
Wish I had that circus mag from July 91 that shows that massive UYI tracklist including 5 or 6 tracks that wound up on TSI. I only remember DOTF, attitude, & IDCAY. there were a couple others I'm sure.
Apex??
I remember reading an article in the lead up to TSI, that two songs recorded that didn't make the cut were Beer N' A Cigarette (Hanoi Rocks) as well as Down On The Streets (The Stooges). And I'm guessing if they're hidden in a vault somewhere, they still have Izzy's playing on them.

Thanks for posting that.
They picked such a strange selection of covers for that album. I know they were into all that 70s punk but the selection is odd. Then of course the mind fuck of including Since I Don't Have You. Still cant believe that was its single/video.
I definitely want to hear those two tracks.
Said it at the time and I'll say it now....the Nazareth song they should have covered is Shot Me Down.

Yeah, and if they were gonna go in different directions other than just punk, they should've recorded all the other covers they'd played over the years - Jumping Jack Flash, Heartbreak Hotel, and the stuff they jammed on during the UYI tour - Bad Time, Sail Away Sweet Sister, Wild Horses and Only Women Bleed.
That would've only added to the quality of the albums song selection, and I'm a fan of TSI as it is.

I'm not a huge fan of it but it does have a handful of great tracks. Was listening to it tonight. I never listen to old GNR but they've been on my mind a bit recently. 
So I put on TSI and turned it up LOUD.
The album just sounds great. Buick Makane is such a jam. Slash should have been on lead vocals on more than just this song in their discography. Such a shame. 
Human Being is a monster track. I wish they had worked on original material during those sessions. Listening to Black Leather right now. 
Good point on their 80s covers. Whole Lotta Rosie really should have been on TSI.
Re: RUMOR: GN'R Reunion @ Soundwave
Since we're discussing TSI at the moment...
The label really fucked things up with the roll out of this album. Rock stations were playing Aint It Fun and Hair of the Dog like they were singles. They were in heavy rotation. Then Since I Don't Have You hits Top 40 radio stations for like a week. Rock stations abandon album.
WEIRD.

Karma for bringing that up. I had completely forgot that track. During the UYI hype that track was mentioned several times but once 91 came it dropped off the radar completely. Entered mythical track status after that.
An instrumental surfaced in 2006 but was shit quality. Unfortunately I do not have it on my computer or I would post it. That happened like 3 computers ago.
From the Nightcrawler thread.

Mark, before the illusion albums came out, Slash said in an interview the name of a few songs, perfect crime, back off bitch, and nightcrawler, what happened to nightcrawler, is the low quality demos of it real, thanksnightcrawler ended up on the second Snakepit record but with a new name speed parade
Re: RUMOR: GN'R Reunion @ Soundwave
Just for the sake of posting it. This is the track people claimed for years was Nightcraler with the vocals buried, way, way down that was obviously contradicted by Canter.
