Help Support QuadraphonicQuad:
Yup, mine too. I have the week off after the 4th so that will work out perfectly.
Finally ordered from ImportCDs. Rear guitar intro on "Sweet Child" swayed me 
Just spotted the amazon email, mine should arrive tomorrow (Friday) 
Blu-ray, 5.1 has a DR 12 rating according to a SHF poster. Very excited for this, but not $125 excited.
Hmmm...I don't know about some of what you've posted here. Axl did re-record Appetite, but that was more to bring his new band at the time up to speed with the spirit of old GN'R in order for them to move forward on new recordings. There was some idle speculation about commercial release, but I don't think that was every seriously considered other than "Paradise City" in Big Daddy and there was a controversy regarding a re-record of "Jungle" in Black Hawk Down that didn't happen.
I've never read anything about Axl want to "obliterate" Appetite. Quite the opposite. He and Izzy refused to do any commercial licensing to advertising, movies, etc. for the longest time. To me, that's good care taking of the GN'R mystique. Axl did want to distance himself from the old lineup and focus media attention on his new music, but then new music took so verrrrry long to materialize, but that's whole other story.
July 3rd delivery date from ImportCD's.....doesn't really matter I guess. I will be working non stop up to, and including July 4th. Ugh.....damn new job blows....

A HA....thanks for the clarification. So Elliot Scheiner's back in business. Hip, Hip, Hooray
And Bless Axl's pointed little head for coaxing ES out of retirement.
And Bless Slash.....well, just for being SLASH!

If you didn't take advantage of the previous pre order deals...and you had a change of heart...you have a last chance before waiting for the warehouse deals...but TODAY at 2pm Central time...that last chance goes away...today is the last day on DeepDiscount for their 15% off sale with promo code SPF15...now if you are lucky enough to reside in one of the tax free states...it's a pretty good deal...considering it's no longer a pre order....the price is $138.99 and with the shipping and discount applied(in non taxable states)it comes in at approx. $122... HERE
Its just been delivered, about to give it a spin. So after a bit of fighting with the latest windows Image editor here is the info on the audio tracks on the Blu-Ray. So it was mixed into 5.1 in September 2017 by ES, and by others this year.
First listen and I love it , some good old fashioned ROCK in 5.1! 
Front is mostly drums, vocals, rhythm guitar, Bass, with support vocals & guitars in the rear. Nothing exclusively though, each track is mixed slightly differently. What it makes me realise is how layered the original album was, lots of over-dubs, multi-tracking of instruments. It really opens the album up. A good 
Fidelity is really good, and a couple of places where it sounds 'harsh' has to be down to what was recorded to tape originally.
Well the animation with the audio isn't something to show your Daughter/Wife/Mother/Grandmother.....................unless you're brave! especially Track 11 (the G'n'R Karma Sutra!), but if you do, definitely expect a SLAP!

I had to show the lady of the house the unpacking video of the Locked n' Loaded $1k box set. Just because it was so audacious and decadent IMHO.
She agreed to my suggestion that it is way over the top, but to my surprise, and regardless of the high cost, she thought it was way cool and actually wants one. Now,... I seriously doubt she's gonna pony up a grand to get it, and I know I'm not gonna, (that's just crazy talk)..
Anyway I thought there was an interesting contrast regarding our separate takes about it. I'm looking at the $100+ digital set thinking I'm not willing to pay that because I only care about the 5.1. And she's down for paying $1k for what, in her eyes, is a work of art and an heirloom to be handed down. I think it was the hologram vinyl that really pushed her over the cliff. She is 10 years my junior and GNR was likely more mainstream for her, so I can understand.
But, of course, she could care less about a 5.1 mix.
Cost wise, $100 for the digital GNR falls into Beatles budget territory for me. The most extravagant sets I own are Chicago Quadio, PF Wish You Were Here immersion (a gift) and the Sgt Pepper set.
And where the hell would I store that GNR LNL set. It brings new meaning to the term "box set"... I mean, It's a friggim BOX... WITH DOORS.
Hell, even if I did buy it, I wouldn't want to open it for fear of diminishing its value. I'm gonna find it interesting to see what happens with these LNL sets going forward. If they sell out quickly, if they start bringing crazy prices on the aftermarket. These could be a great investment.
...but then I had to tell her, and I'm fessing up here to all of you as well.
I've never owned this record in any format.
There. I said it. Of course, I do know a lot of the tracks. How could you miss em, especially if you grew up in the USA.
After she settled down a bit following the amusement and disbelief this disclosure elicited, she proceeded to made me feel even more inadequate by reminding me that I also never owned any AC/DC, a fact she had determined a few months earlier.
I was music shamed.....

We'll most probably get USE YOUR ILLUSION I and II when baseball season is over and Elliot Scheiner, a HUGE baseball fanatic, has the time and ENERGY and also contingent upon how well Appetite for Destruction sells. Remember, the music biz is now controlled by Accountants and Lawyers.....so NO tickee...NO washee! https://img0.etsystatic.com/020/0/5213038/il_570xN.565517910_naeb.jpg
Snood got his today and it showed up all pretty and unbent despite the tight box from Amerzon - all the discs slid out unscratched under light. 
Ripping right now and will listen to tonight or tomorrow
Had to return me recent Barclay James Harvest Box because 2 of the discs had slid out and were bouncing off each other trying to make CD babies or something the whole trip to Snood's door. Grrrrrrr - got a good replacement though

I'ma have to agree with the Lady of the House..... Shame!!
Snood got Question?? Would it be weird if Snood used the temporary tattoos on me ass cheeks?? 
ooops, almost forgot.....and of course Snood would apply the tatoos while listening to the 5.1 mix .....so there's that to consider
and yes Snood would be Nooooood!
