Good review. My favorite on the album is Locomotive, but that is mostly because of the outro which I think is amazing. I remember buying these albums when they first came out on 9/17/91. There were several other people waiting for their copies at the record store and we were gathered around the mail truck as they carried them inside. I listened to both illusion albums every night for months. Good memories. I prefer UYI2 to UYI1 although both are good. A few songs on each could have been cut and I wouldn’t have minded. A few more comments from an old GNR fan: Check out Spaghetti Incident (punk covers) and Chinese Democracy more. Both really grow on you. Also, there are a few songs they never put on any album that are so good, it’s a crime songs like My World, You Ain’t The First, and Get in the ring made it over them. One of them is Shadow of Your Love, which they played on the recent tour. But my favorite is Crash Diet, which is on TH-cam. I’m not sure if Slash and Duff were even in the band yet, this might be from the Hollywood Rose days. But Axl is just so good on the song. It would have fit perfectly on Appetite and I like it better than some songs like Anything Goes. Crash Diet is in demo charm so pretty rough, but just has that vintage appetite sound.
Yeah it was a big event when those albums came out, there were people lined up outside of Tower records in LA to buy them at midnight. There was no Internet in 1991 so you had to go to a record store. We had the release day circled for months. The albums were such a departure from Appetite, it through me off a bit. But I admired them not just making an Appetite 2 as that would have been a lot easier. Anyway, keep up the good work abs keeping enjoying GNR.
My World is garbage. It's basically Axl Rose making himself look ridiculous by recording and releasing what may be the worst song ever on a Guns N Roses album
You Could Be Mine is my favorite song on this album.

I’ll definitely have to check those out they sound great! Also wow I’m surprised you still remember that so vividly, such a great memory I bet!
