I do as well.
I find myself listening to Lies more than any other album. I know it's only Live Like a Suicide plus four songs but those four songs
I remember some Behind the Music-esque G'n'R special and Slash noted just how amazingly those sessions came together, what producer Mike Clink called "one of those magical rock and roll history moments". I really think the dynamics of the band really shifted after that.

In later interviews, Axl Rose stated that while he loved how the band sounded on the last four songs, he hated the sound of his voice. Rose recalled that his voice was husky and scratchy from the band's lengthy touring at the time, and if he could he would have re-recorded his vocal tracks in a separate session.

Axl's constant takes and double/triple tracking of his vocals is just such a different monster.

I’ve always just considered them a double album. If they had been released at different times, I’d be more inclined to separate them but for me, it’s essentially a double album.

yeah, i wish we could have a documentary of him working on his vocals in Chinese. Hell, even Use Your Illusion has so many different takes and tracking is insane.

I consider them a single album combined, since each are half shit.

I considered them a long double album.

Wait, for real? I don't think I've ever heard it!

yeah, its a album of covers, but good ones and the band is on fire.

wease wrote:Has there ever been another band to get such longevity out of only 3 albums?

Nirvana?

Enduring legacy, definitely. But you might need to look up the definition of longevity.

Nirvana isn’t out headlining multimillion dollar tours.

Im still surprised and shocked on good these guys are in 2023 and how well they seem to be with each other.

He sounds good on lower register stuff. "Good".

Yeah It's so Easy wasn't bad.

Perhaps Hell freezing over is a cyclical thing.

Perhaps is being released on a 7¨ with a b side called The General, a song thats been widely discussed between the guys who were involved at some point in the making of Chinese...Its one of those holy grails so im looking forward to it.
