Guns N‘ Roses - Appetite For Destruction Locked N’ Loaded Edition

[sjcorne]

Received my box from ImportCDs about an hour ago. Threw the disc in and did a quick listen to the 3 big hits. Obviously, I'm going to sit down and carefully listen to the whole thing before I vote and post my review, but I kind of want to vote a 10 right now just for the mix of "Sweet Child". Yes, it's pricey, but wow is this fun. If you love this album it's worth every penny. Be on the lookout for some more detailed thoughts later today.

Interesting sidenote: not sure if this is a me issue only, but this disc seems to have some more advanced copy protection as MakeMKV refuses to decrypt it. Had to take a free trial of RedFox AnyDVD to break the copy protection.

That is werid .....my MAKEMKV decrypted just fine on an ancient Windows Vista laptop - had to put in the current register key though thru for July

For those who like waveforms. Definitely an active mix!

"Welcome To The Jungle"

"Sweet Child O' Mine"

The 1,000 $/€ box is listed now at all the big online shops here in Germany, including Amazon. Waiting for massive price drop now...

I had no issues with MakeMKV decrypting and making a backup. Make sure you are using the latest version. It gets updated regularly.

I could be wrong, but I just don't see that happening. The 1k box is for collectors, really, imo.

ES = Genius

First listen at home and the 5.1 really opens up this album beautifully. Very discrete. Never thought a hard rock album could be opened up so well. Usually just too much going on, but wow! Burned a dvd-a for my car, and wholly crap, I think it sounds even better. Will get a few good listens tomorrow on my drive to San Diego. Probably be a week or two before I get around to the cd's.

I agree and some might not think so but I bet they sell them all too...

Yes... and how pricey will they get after they do sell out.

Just as an indication.....the Grateful Dead box set was $699.98 in 2015...a choice of the 80 CD+ set or a USB with all the music on it....check this out

I never wait....and I didn't....I'm on 4th song and I'm mesmerized. So, so cool.....this totally breathes life into this that I don't ever remember....the only bad thing is....this is some bad ass rock and roll and it is screaming to be cranked up......I'll wait till Mrs Gos is out to do that...

This mix is simply a blast and it rocks really hard...not muddy whatsoever, clean, clear...excellent. Dang...

Who ever thought I would get goosebumps from listing to this? But true....on a couple parts here and there across several songs. Wonderful...

It only gets better as you keep going. I'm about to finish my 3rd full listen through and it is just brilliant. MUST be cranked!

That might be what they ask for them, but this is what they actually sell for.
