I'd wanted the Dawn of the Deli Creeps record for years.

I usually start by looking at record stores then go iTunes/Amazon. The latter had it for $50-100 and eBay the same which is way too rich for my blood.

After some pawing around, I found it on the TDRS site for $15. Bought!

Boom Ka-Cha!

The interest in organizing them from my end came from the desire to learn more about the songs.

For example, during one performance, Axl introduces "Chinese Democracy" by saying it's a 'little ditty about depression'.

Knowing those little statements you can help construct what the fuck he was talking about.

Zombie can post up his leaks file list.

I know the major performances in 2002 and 2006 and forum gossip since 2002-2008 but that's about it.

Yeah, it's such a basic song that needs the style to elevate it.

The removal of Freese/Brain, grunge edge, and Pitman's sirens make it disinteresting.

Bring me Zoot's version or bring me death!

Maybe he did.

He said soon was the word with the Better video release in the chats but that’s it. You get what you outsource to Fernando’s friends.

There was a supposedly commissioned Catcher music video that was basically stock footage of someone’s kid in LA.

There was a unreleased Sorry music video but didn’t feature the band.

Some cancelled tour documentary doohickey in the Ashba era.

Mickey Rourke would’ve played The Shackler if a Shacklers revenge video were made.

The Sorry one was an improvement but still not greatly impressive.

Axl had his ass kissed for 20 years and also the record company refused to furnish funds for promotion. Not a good creative promotional combo. Then Ashba Creations took over.

The drums and bass are killer and it feels like a rock n' rollercoaster.
