Genuine question lads, If ye think that's shocking where was the outrage when GN'R announced the Locked & Loaded box set for Appetite For Destruction when it was originally priced at $999?

I'd only pay €9, maybe!

To be fair, competitions are probably too small fry for any of the band to have any direct input into. THis likely to be a decision made by their marketing (or some such) team. Agreed though it is small minded. Any competition should not involve a cost to the winner!

S.M.B.

I'm actually going to hold up my hand and say I was too harsh in what I was saying earlier. I think they've just badly misused the word competition when it really is just a ballot to get your hands on a limited edition release. Nothing wrong with that and seems like a fair way to sell such a package.

Yeah, I think it is a fair way to sell such a limited product... I've put my entry in anyway. They could probably have sold thousands of the Super Deluxe Box Set at $299 but the boys couldn't be expected to hand sign thousands of sheets of music, so limiting it to a reasonable figure and balloting Fifth Members for a chance to buy it seems fair enough.

Also got the 4xLP set and Blu-Ray from the Euro store, so really looking forward to them being released next month...

Works out as €25.65 delivered off the EU store for the Blu Ray

The US one worked out as €21.03 delivered (that's with 20% FM discount) but warning of shipping taxes etc

How are you getting postage so cheap to Ireland? showing as 8.47euro for me for the dvd/cd set and if i order the deluxe box on its own postage is 39.13 euro.

still think s&m1 was far superior but 2 had its moments. All within my hands (which has been released as a single) was awesome

Found with pretty similar to the indoor show of the WorldWired tour

130euro, i've entered the Fifth Member comp, 500 winners get to buy it at $299 (260Euro) but the music sheets are signed by the band.

If i win and buy i guess it'll come from U.S so customs will also nail me :mad:

Of course it was, it had Jason on it, pisses all over Rob

S&M 1 is an intimate gig too of 3,000 people, its in a theatre, in the world of the orchestra. I love seen the shots from the crowd of the regular orchestra go-ers sitting and some headbangers then standing up next to them, banging away. Really shows the stark contrast of both fans but here they all are together. Its class.

The 2nd outing very much feels like an orchestra backing up metallica. It's in a large arena, they are there to see Metallica, they know what to expect.

And of course, no Jason.

Jaysus, assuming the 20 year anniversary timeline, the lads (using that term lightly now) would be together for 58 years as a band !

Well given they've almost hit 40 years, what's another 18 :pac:

Joking aside, if the Rolling Stones can do it, why not Metallica? Granted the Stones stuff isn't as challenging to play compared to Metallica's.

all members are currently complaining of physical issues related to playing, it ll be hard to see them playing well into their 70's, maybe the less intense songs could be, maybe the more load/reload era stuff etc

Think they will hit 50 years definitely if health etc doesn't prove an issue.

Got an email saying I didn't win the competition that entitles ya to buy super deluxe signed edition of S&M2 for €300.

Thought about it a bit more today and I'm a bit pissed off wit them for doing this.

Super deluxe unsigned is around the €140 mark, yet they're charging an extra €120 for band autographs, something that costs them nothing.

As there's only 500 signed and for fan club why profit from their autographs, and profit from their most loyal of fans.
