Guns N' Roses - Live Like A Suicide LP Autographed by 4 Members Slash Signed

$

385

This listing is for an original vinyl pressing of the ultra-rare live EP from Guns N' Roses, 'Live Like A Suicide.' This is an original pressing, not one of the many bootlegs and colored vinyls you see on eBay. In this case, I was not the original owner, but it was given to me by a close friend and fellow GN'R collector who one day found God and decided to give me all of his stuff. This particular copy is signed by 4 of the 5 original members: Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan and Steven Adler. I was present when Slash and Duff signed it and got Steven myself years later. I was not there when Izzy signed it because I was too hungover the next morning after seeing his show. The autographs were obtained as follows:

Slash and Duff: January 14, 1992 in the lobby of the Stouffer's Hotel in Dayton, OH. My friend and I found out the band had arrived in Dayton the weekend prior to the shows. I actually met Slash on January 11th as well, and had him sign my 'Suicide' cassette. We ended up booking a room at the hotel the nights of the shows and met the entire band a few times (minus Axl who wouldn't sign for us). For some reason, Duff signed his name upside down. He was noticeably drunk, so I'm really surprised it's as legible as it is, and he even added "GNR '92" after his name.

Izzy: February 17, 1993 outside his hotel in Columbus, OH. We had seen Izzy and his Ju-Ju Hounds the night before at the Newport Music Hall, and actually hung out on their bus with Rick Richards and Charlie Quintana. Never saw Izzy at all other than onstage. We found out where they were staying that night, and the next morning, my friend drove an hour back to Columbus and had Izzy sign a bunch of items. He tried to call me but as I mentioned, I was too hungover to answer the phone. Idiot.

Steven: December 19, 2003 backstage at Hara Arena in Dayton, OH. Steven's band, Adler's Appetite was the opening act for Jackyl at the local rock station's Christmas show. I was friends with Brent Muscat (Faster Pussycat) who played in Adler's band. We were able to hang out in the dressing room after their set and at their hotel bar later in the night. Steven was super cool and happy to sign everything I brought. He was also pretty hammered that night!

The front cover has some odd wear on the left side in the black area next to Duff's head. The top two corners are also creased and the top right corner is also not cut straight (see pics). The back sleeve is in very good condition, with some very light edge wear at the top and bottom. The spine is solid except for one slight start of a split right after the record title. It's maybe 2mm wide. The corners have normal edge wear for a 28 year old LP. It's been kept in a thick LP sleeve for as long as I've had it (since 1995).

The vinyl is in VG condition, with some very light scratches on both sides. The red label side has some odd scratches that while light, aren't in your typical straight line. I have included two of the best pix I could get of them. I'm sure the vinyl plays fine, but is there really a need to play this? If you want to hear these songs on vinyl, there's always the 'Lies' EP.

I can send more photos of anything you'd like to see and can also provide you with the matrix information. Trust me, this is an original and while it's not perfect, it's a great piece. I'm letting it go because I have another copy on vinyl (plus the cassette and the extremely limited 3" CD bootleg from Japan!)

A little about me and my auctions...I've been collecting music memorabilia and going to concerts since 1986. The majority of my collection is in mint condition and I have tried to care for my items as best as possible over the years. I rarely ever buy used items, so I am the original owner on 99% of the items I list. If there are any defects or issues with any item, I will describe it as well as possible. I'm not a seller who tries to pass off garbage as gold. I will ship your items securely packed and in a timely manner (I ship things for a living, so I know very well how to do it!). 

Any autographed items will NOT come with a worthless COA like some sellers include. That doesn't prove anything. I can provide photos of me with the artist, plus scans of tickets and/or backstage passes where applicable. I've traveled all over the world to see bands, and after all these years, I have some awesome friends in the music business. This has provided me with a great deal of access to many musicians, some famous and others not so famous. 

US Buyers: This item MUST BE SHIPPED VIA PRIORITY MAIL WITH INSURANCE. I will put a flat rate of $15, but that is also dependent on the ending price. If postage ends up being less than $15, I will refund the difference.
