At the first show in Vegas in 2016, Axl prefaced Coma with the same "We're gonna try something here" line from the Live Era recording. I absolutely lost my shit and started banging my fists on the shoulder of the dude next to me. Having no idea what the setlist would be and then being hit with that was just fantastic.

If so I hope they don’t modify it as they did for the Appetite for Democracy Vegas residency and cover up her tits. (Though the mods here might approve.)

This brings up again an interesting point - what era(s) of imagery the band allowed to be represented.

And do they continue to ignore the members outside of the Big Three? For example, on their neverending reunion tour they’ve been selling show-specific posters/lithographs that often feature Axl, Slash and Duff either together on one print or individually in a series of three for their three-night stands, but never including Richard, Dizzy, Frank or Melissa. (To be clear, I’m not complaining about omitting them.)

If they did decide to show the full current lineup... seven band members... two sets of seven inserts on the lower end of the playfield. But I can’t imagine JJP would go that obvious route, and I’d be happy not being reminded of Frank and Melissa anyway.

Cab art, sure. That modified 7-member AFD cross on the backbox, though... ugh.

And... "Appetite Purple?" Ah yes... all of the purple that the band imagery used in the Appetite era. WTF?

I could look past the CE art and powder color if there were something of substance added over the LE. But it seems like that's just the apron COMA ball lock. And I'm not paying $3K for a ball lock again.

Right, but that's why I mentioned "substance." Under cab lighting, behind backbox lighting and topper lighting don't get the "substance" descriptor in my book.

I get it. I was in on a CE from the beginning but the all round package is what did it for me, not one specific thing.

This. Black mirror blades might be in order, and I'll be replacing the red legs/armor for black, but no dolls or Hallmark ornaments required.

It’s one of the “key posts” in this thread.

1 for every LE.

Guns N' Roses forums: Pissed off because a $12.5K GNR pinball machine exists.

Pinball forums: Pissed off because there aren't enough $12.5K GNR pinball machines.

What a time to be alive!

Oh yeah.

To be fair, not so much pissed that the thing exists, but remember this is a band that hasn't produced new music in 12 years, and had been touring for the last 3.5 years on a nostalgia reunion with barely a change to the setlist, so...

...the thing that really riled them up (and I kinda get it) is that the fanbase has been hounding Team Brazil for years for proshot concert footage (from any era) and in response TB went on a copyright-infringement-claim blitz, clearing a shitload of audio/video from Youtube (and continuing to do so) and then started dribbling out a series of "Guns N' Roses Selects" (individual song videos from the NITL tour) on Youtube.

So when it was announced that TB had sent Eric 18 full-length proshot HD concerts from the NITL tour to incorporate into a $6.75K-$12.5K "box set"... yeah, they got a little salty.

The CE soundbar is a wired connection. You should be able to run a cable up through the head to any external speaker line in jack.

I've seen UYI I, so I assume II is available as well.

Manual lists part "19-100041-08 - 8ft HDMI Cable" in the back panel assembly.

All-encompassing lithograph thread on one of the biggest GNR forums:

Maybe it's because I don't like an action button on the lockbar to begin with, and I probably should've already learned from the hideous shit that people stack on top of their backboxes, but I can't believe how many people like to tape plastic* crap onto their lockdown bars.

100% of my day one LE is still undelivered.
