GUNS N’ ROSES – The Ultra Rare Trax (2025) *HQ*
GUNS N’ ROSES ”The Ultra Rare Trax” is a really cool bootleg released today (available on CD and double vinyl) promising ‘rarities, obscurities and oddities’ and indeed we find some fun stuff involving Axl Rose & Co.
We get recordings / collaborations / demos / live appearances with the likes of Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Tom Petty, Steve Jones, Bruce Springsteen, etc. There’s a rare demo with Duff McKagan on vocals, very good live recordings from the Chinese Democracy tours, and other rare demos / unreleased.
It’s also nice to hear Axl and Slash as guests on a studio album from the band The Outpatients, and a live version of GN’R of AC/DC’s classic ‘Whole Lotta Rosie’. There’s some error too, as ‘Herod’s Song’ wrongly giving the credit as “Axl Rose with Meatloaf” which is in fact Delta Theatre Band, a song from a musical where both singers sound like… Axl Rose and Meatloaf. Or ‘5150’ performed by a Van Halen cover band whos’ singer voice is very similar to Axl.
Anyway, this is a nice to have bootleg, especially for GUNS N’ ROSES fans and collectors. Sound quality is pretty good for the most part.
