The happiness on his face is gorgeous.

Dude, I couldn’t believe it when you pulled those unopened long boxes out of there. Amazing gift! Every time I actually see an unopened long box I get nostalgic for the good old days in the record store at the mall flipping through long boxes. Just wish I had kept all those long boxes instead of cutting them up and putting the pictures up on my bedroom wall.

I know what you mean! I miss flipping through CDs in that way. I kept all my long boxes in a closet for years but they took up so much space. Eventually I through away all but a few that were special to me. So now when I find them it’s a real treat.

idk if I'm just unlucky or what, but I have found like 5 longboxes in the past couple years all from different sources, and every one had varying degrees of a mold issue with the boxes to the point I would rather just throw the box out. Is this a common issue or just bad luck?

You're so lucky. GN'R will always be my favorite band. I will buy anything they put out.

This unboxing was the first 3 boxes of a total 9 that was sent. See link for the latest video of boxes #5, 6, & 7. kzread.info/dash/bejne/c4yHt82NdJSofdY.htmlsi=-9Fc3VyW2ccT2wIz I just received boxes #8, and #9. That video will post soon.

One of the coolest videos I’ve seen in a while. Congrats Brendon! 🤘

I loved the long-boxes. I still have the 30 or so of my favorites from back when they came out.

Unbelievable those long boxes put a smile on my face. Awesome!!!!

Thats awesome..Whar a cool guy David is for sending you a huge collection

The collection looks legit! When I think of a band like GnR, I definitely think of bootleg swag. Some amazing goodies in those boxes, very cool of Dave! Great call on the Tower Record Label. Such a great history with Tower, West Hollywood, etc.

Part 3 of this series will post tomorrow and it outdoes this first episode in a big way!

Very cool….. the long boxes for me woulda been the winners….. I always wished I never opened them up (all of them not just GnR). I have a lot of the CD singles and sampler. Waaaay cool. Can’t wait for the next video!

You are the luckiest guy in the world! This collection is incredible!

Hey Brendon, I'll keep this real short...your passion and excitement in this video is so massively infectious that I'm now making it PRIORITY to get out there and find as much vintage G 'n' R merchandise as I can find. I will leave no stone unturned in my pursuit! Cheers man, your unrivaled passion has made my day!!!

These are all great, great collectables. The Guns here are so young still breaking through and touching glory. What a time they were, sadly gone and our youth with them.

Such a great video Brendon. Having seen the comments on the last video I was kinda waiting on this one and I was definitely not disappointed. Enjoy the great haul and looking forward to the next one!

​@@BrendonSnyder I got the dvd of the Ritz 1988 show. From the ( Zodiac) Japan bootleg cd lable. It is both a dvd of the Ritz 1988. Plus they added a cd audio of the Ritz 1988 in the same bootleg. I have extra copies of this bootleg. And I am looking for a Guns n roses appetite for destruction sealed longbox. If you have this I am willing to trade the Ritz 1988 dvd and cd plus money. Please let me know. Shane

Nice reward for all the work you do. Dave is a very generous person. Hats off to him. The collection has gone to the right person who will appreciate it and not on sell it.

Share the joy of music. Truly what the hobby is about. As collecting gains popularity and prices rise we sometimes lose sight of that.

Everything about this video is absolutely incredible!

Wow, that is amazing.

I’m a big GNR fan, I’m very jealous of you right now. Lol. A lot of good stuff in there.

You seemed blessed already and wow more blessings. Luck you. I’m confused as to why a mega fan of GnR would give his collection away? That’s very thoughtful 👍🏼

This is awesome! What a gift! Loved those singles. Please show the rest of the collection.

Very cool. I've had people send me Yes items but nothing even close to what you got. CONGRATULATIONS!

Jackpot! That's awesome! Ok, I'm starting my own channel :-) :-) :-) Enjoy all those goodies. Cheers.

Wow awesome stuff I remember them long box's I just recently got the new overkill cd in a long box with a pin and a sticker I really excited when I seen a long box at my record store of that new overkill

Some really cool stuff 😎

It’s like Christmas Morning. Nice one. Shows there are some decent people out there still.

Very exiting ,, cool vid

This stuff is just way too cool. I too collected stuff from multiple different bands. The Live Like A Suicide EP on cassette was cool….and the CD singles. I remember the long boxes….I had a lot of em stored for a long time until I had gotten rid of them to make space for other items.

I just saw them live in Houston this passed Thursday. You are a very lucky man. Please do reviews of all that amazing stuff.

That is crazy. When you open the next box that comes and the Live Like A Suicide record is in the box you're probably going to pass out.

Was there a reason to give up such a large collection? This brought someone a lot of happiness as it was being collected.

Get money.

I have Live Like a Suicide on LP. I bought it on a whim when I stumbled upon it in a mall record store in Ohio prior to the release of Appetite. Unfortunately, it suffered a little water damage to the cover back in 2001.

I hope you make a video for the rest of the boxes when they arrive! 🤘

Awesome stuff. What a collection and that's just a small part of it.

Wow... what a collection... fantastic

Years ago I made four photo albums of gnr from pictures from magazines when I was a senior at high school.

That is awesome for you!! So cool!!

Damn! I'm even excited for you!!

Awesome I’ll watch tonight

Nice video. I can feel your excitement.

It was rereleased later on that clear cassette it was originally on a black cassette

Nice !!!

Lucky I've been a GN'R fan since I was born in 86

I’m curious on how do you keep your collection clean. Do you have a video on the subject? Thanks

As someone who collects bootlegs (digitally because I'm not home enough to use physical media), these live bootlegs are really a gem, even just for a rare listen. I've gotten too the point where I've gotten hold of every GNR live show from 91-93 that are from the Soundboard. Some are better than anything officially released. I've got dozens of Metallica, Aerosmith, etcetera, so seeing this stuff is so fucking cool... enjoy that collection man, and David, what a badass motherfucker you are

Super cool which is the name of the bootleg Japan page online store?

You are one lucky guy.

« Offered » as in « for free »? The Live Like Suicide cassette alone is pure insanity! Enjoy!

Brendon I am looking for a Guns n roses appetite for destruction sealed longbox. If you have a spare and are willing to sell and perhaps a trade. I got the Guns n roses show the Ritz 1988 show on the ( Zodiac ) bootleg cd lable. It has a dvd plus a cd audio of the show. I am willing to trade with money for a sealed Appétit for destruction sealed longbox. Please let me know either way.

I'm in Australia and just turned 65. Great channel so I just subscribed. I have 4,000 CD's in very similar racks as you do. Unlike you however, once I go beyond the early 2000's there are no artists I desire to listen to. Being a child of the early 60's I can only tolerate musicians from that period to around maybe the late 80s'-mid 90's when none of the newer artists appeal at all, my collecting now is basically obtaining most of Telarc's DDD 600 album collection of classical CD's. I HATE R&B, hip hop, rap, and any new heavy metal junk. My idea of heavy metal is Led Zep and Deep Purple and AC/DC etc. I have no idea who any of the Bon Jovi/Metallica era is. They are kiddy trash. Cheers. PS* My recent and final "forever" CD player is a Yamaha CD-S3000 which I absolutely love. @@BrendonSnyder
