Wow. You dont have many B sides at your disposal when you have to pad the disc with GNR Lies.
Other than that, I have no complaints. We knew going in that it would contain material we've already heard. They did toss in a couple unknown tracks though.
Are Crash Diet, Bring It Back Home, and Just Another Sunday a couple years newer than previously thought? I cant imagine skipping those if they belonged on the set. Maybe those are for UYI.
Also surprised Sentimental Movie, Too Much, Too Soon,etc. aren't included but I don't like those songs anyways.

Illusions era, 1990-ish.
It's been awhile since I dusted off the "Unwanted Illusions" stuff but some were recorded at RS Studios and the Hellhouse and a few we don't know the origin of.
Re: GNR.FM | Destruction Is Coming
THOSE songs kicked off the recording of UYI?! Yikes.
No wonder Adler went crazy with the drugs.
I just realized something....the absence of YCBM. Wasn't a version of this recorded in the AFD era? I do realize why they would want to save it for a future UYI release but it would've made sense to include it here. Even a casual fan looking at AFD's liner notes is going to realize YCBM originated in this period.
Re: GNR.FM | Destruction Is Coming
I liked "Shadow of Your Love", the vocals are not as strong as the original demos (any of them including the Hollywood rose era demos), but they're solid. Also, the quality makes all the difference in the World. Guitar work from Slash is not amazing, but fits well in the song, and are still a bit raw as is the guitar work on the original demos. All in all, a very solid track and definitely a good way to promote the new Remaster. I always wondered why Shadow wasn't released on Lies, since it was such a good track. The lyrics are simple and savage, which really is what Guns N'Roses is.
This song deserved a proper version, and I think the band did it justice! I have been listening to it nonstop, and even bought the single on iTunes beforehand, knowing fully well that I will buy the super deluxe package.
Re: GNR.FM | Destruction Is Coming
No Cornchucker, even for those with the box to match.
That will be saved for.....
They have very little to work with when it comes to that album. Basically just a few alt demos, Cornchucker, and a few live performances.
Don't Cry was also around in the Appetite era.
I just realized that wasn't included. iNteresting.
Re: GNR.FM | Destruction Is Coming
So...... we're all pretending One In A Million never happened, eh?
Its part of the reason I laughed when seeing the B sides disc song selection. Its been padded out with Lies minus OIAM.
In Axl's defense, he mentioned years ago the possibility of excluding that track on future releases....so its not just a SJW situation.
I want it included on an actual Lies release though. The CBGB version, demo, etc.
edit: I'm not complaining about the track list. We had just talked the other day about their lack of B sides so that specific disc isn't that surprising.
and even bought the single on iTunes beforehand,
I didn't realize it was already on Itunes. I'll have to buy it.
I was never a big fan of this song but I hope it can chart fairly high.

Re: GNR.FM | Destruction Is Coming
You guys think Slash’s lead is from 1986 yet it sounds exactly like 2016 DTJ intro and Wicked Stone’s outro in the style and phrasing. Point is, the lead on SOYL sounds more like modern Slash than Vintage Slash but either way sounds like Slash.

I've only heard it once.
This is reminding me of the SG situation with the Hands All Over remaster. The fan base was split down the middle when we first heard it. There was bass higher in the mix and it sounded like Shepherd who wasn't even in the band when that song was originally released. What made it even more confusing is we knew that some new vocals had been added to certain songs.
