There was music that we tried to get, but sadly, there were politics to it. According to Beckman, the band responsible for hits including November Rain and Sweet Child O' Mine were divided on whether their songs could be used in his movie. There was a beautiful song we wanted to use, and one of the guys said, 'You got it. Go.' And the other one was basically like, 'There's just no way.'
These were the last two that are left to do, and we actually did them not even back to back. 'Nothin" was one, and 'Atlas' was at a different time, but they hadn't been released yet. So, we're releasing 'em now. And then there's really no more of that sort of old rehash stuff to release. But I think what we're gonna do, we're gonna take all those songs and put them on something and release that as a package.
"There's so much material at this point - it's a matter of having the discipline to sit down and fucking get into it," the guitarist said, (via a magazine clipping captured on X/Twitter). "But the thing with Guns is, in my experience, you can never plan ahead. You can never sit down and go, 'We're going to take this time, and we're going to do this.' Every time we've done that, it falls apart."
Guns N' Roses have announced an expanded vinyl reissue of their 1999 release Live Era '87-'93, set to arrive in various editions on November 21st.
