Guns n' Roses Ready First-Ever
Live Album
G n' R live album will feature material from
1987 to 1992
Live albums come and go,
normally with little fanfare,
unless of course it's a Guns
n' Roses live album and it's
all that separates the group
from the abyss. Not since the
Gunners released the
all-covers album The
Spaghetti Incident? six years
ago has the world heard
"new" material from the
one-time heavy metal saviors. Now, a
probable double-live album, featuring
twenty-three or twenty-four songs recorded
in every band incarnation from 1987 to
1992, will hit shelves some time this fall.
According to Andy Wallace, who mixed the
yet-untitled set, the album will feature G n' R
staples like "Sweet Child o' Mine,"
"Welcome to the Jungle," "November Rain,"
"Mr. Brownstone" and the Bob Dylan cover
"Knockin' on Heaven's Door." "It definitely
has a live feel, but it's well-recorded and
well-played," Wallace says. "They were
great live and had a lot of concerts to work
from."
The more than two hours of material
Wallace mixed was culled from shows
recorded in Tokyo, Las Vegas and Mexico
City. The Tokyo material is likely taken from
the same shows that spawned the
double-live concert video Use Your Illusion
I & II: Live in Tokyo, while the Vegas show
may be the same that produced a live
version of "Yesterdays," which was included
on a self-titled import CD single.
Wallace was unaware how exactly the
material will be presented on the
double-disc but, he says, "the idea was not
to fool anyone into the fact that it was [from]
one concert."
