I have this TDK cassette tape that is some sort of demo cassette with some unreleased Guns N Roses music on it. I bought it in the mid 90’s at a Flea Market. Some of the unreleased songs names are called: Just another Sunday, and Bring it Back Home. There’s also earlier recordings of some of their material from Use Your Illusion. Message me if you like

I remember this so well as I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Use Your Illusion records 4 days before the official release date, in Scotland of all places! I was such a huge fan, and was counting down the days to release like it was Christmas. Then a few days before release I happened to be in a general store in my hometown, not even looking for records, and saw some advertising for it. I took a closer look and then saw that it was on the shelves! I thought it was a trick at first, but I just grabbed them and went to pay for it. I felt sure they’d realise the mistake and refuse the sale but they didn’t. I listened to both albums probably 20 times back to back before it was released to the world. And it was so significant to me as it was the first time I’d seen news stories of people lining up to buy records. It genuinely felt like a real privilege to get an early listen, and now every time I see the album artwork it still takes me back to that moment where my heart was in my mouth as I reached out to pick them off the shelves!!

I could never choose between the two albums. I saw G and R for the last time in Columbia S.C. ! We were riding around very late and came up to a Red light with about 5 limousines. Me and my friend were in a convertible Camaro. The window rolled down from one of the limousines and it was Slash and Duff. They started talking to us and it was one of the coolest things ever. I have never been a starstruck person , but at the time Use your Illusion 1and 2 was literally the soundtrack to my life. Metallic actually opened for them at the concert and Faith No More was there too. As if that wasn't a strange coincidence we parked next to friends from this little town I grew up in near Savannah......security was even cool because we lit up some smoke and we were asked one time to just keep it down a little by one guard. Mettalica opened with " Creeping Death". My friend bought like 6 shirts and put them under his chair. To his misfortune they dissapearef during that concert. I still have mine. Oh and we tricked our girlfriend to go without them because we actually convinced them my friend had one two tickets from a local radio contest! Crazy times. During " Mr. Brownstone" they had a huge balloon of the monster from the original cover of Appetite for Destruction. The only way it could have been better is I wanted to hear Coma live one time, it's one of my favorites even over Civil War. Oh yeah, skipped school to go out of town and buy both these CD, s the day they came out.

I strongly believe that the songwriting in the Illusion albums were the best in rock history. They could have easily pumped out 4 albums instead of the 2. Imho, it took all of their juice. It sapped their remaining strength. It was wayyy too ambitious a project. The following album was The Spaghetti Incident and it was just a bunch of covers anyways. Their creative energy was spent and the band def needed a break. They were the biggest band in the world.

Most of the songs on those two albums were underrated. They pushed the self indulgent "artistic" songs like Don't Cry and November Rain and ignored the more punk and bluesy songs completely. Considering that grunge and alternative were already breaking those two albums could have been even bigger if the tracks on them had been given a more balanced marketing effort.

The other thing i have to say is that when the You Could Be Mine video came out in tandem with Terminator 2 that was huge. if you are old enough to remember, you remember. If you do not holy crap it was an event. People would stop what they were doing to watch that video. That song was like Welcome to the Jungle Redux. No one had the context of the Illusion records yet so this track was a valentine to GnR fans wanting to know what the band was doing next. And the song was awesome. The movie was awesome, too and very much part of the marketing campaign for this film was the song. It was kind of curious when the Illusion came out and You Could be Mine was buried in the middle of the second side of the second record of the double album. It was kind of like if in 1967 the promo track for a film was Savoy Truffle by the Beatles. It didn't make any sense. You Could Be Mine was the lead single from this double record. It should have had a more prominent spot on one of the two released records.

I remember when these albums came out in '91. It was a huge damn deal. The local mall in Moline Il had about 3 or 4 record stores and I remember seeing lines out the doors and down the commons. I was pretty sweped up in the hype as well. I was 11 at the time and Terminator 2 was my obsession that summer. I kept glued to MTV just to watch the You Could be Mine video over and over again. It made me a GNR fan. So I'd have to say Use Your Illusion II was my favorite of the two albums, but when i finally got them a year later I bought both of them. You can have your favorite, but you really need both. Even to this day I recently bought the Illusion albums on Vinyl, and bought both of them at the same time.

Also, Wal-Mart and K-Mart refused to stock the albums due to the albums containing explicit lyrics, as well as the band refusing to release censored versions of the albums. Though several years later in 1998, the band did agree to release the compilation album "Use Your Illusion" for those stores that had the most popular songs that didn't contain explicit lyrics.

GnR was the perfect train wreck. I was lucky to see them three times in their prime. They opened for the Stones. My buddy and left three songs into the Stones set. GnR had taken us to a high level and the Stones music just seemed like a buzz kill. I saw again for the Use your Illusion tour and with Metallica a couple years later.
