Description
The vinyl disc is mint and never been played. This record has been sitting on a shelf since 1986, so the cover isn't perfect. Even though the album was stored in a plastic protector, the back cover looks like it has 25 years of "shelf wear" which is captured in the photo.
Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide is a four-song EP released by Guns N' Roses on December 16, 1986 on the label, UZI Suicide. (This was ostensibly a self-released record but UZI Suicide was actually part of Geffen Records.) When referred to by the band members talking about the EP, they have simply called it Live Like a Suicide. The record itself was reportedly limited to only 10,000 copies, and it came out only in vinyl and cassette formats. All four tracks were not actually performed live in front of an audience, rather they were studio recordings that had crowd sounds added in later. One song considered for this EP was Shadow of Your Love, which never made it onto the album. In 1988, the recordings featured on Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide were re-released along with four newer songs as the album G N' R Lies.
The four songs were selected from the band's demo tapes: two are cover versions and two are originals.
"Reckless Life" is the opening track on the EP, it opens with McKagen shouting "hey fuckers, suck on Guns N' Fuckin' Roses!" This song was originally written by Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin's previous band Hollywood Rose and included in their compilation album The Roots of Guns N' Roses. "Nice Boys" is a cover of a song by Rose Tattoo. The classic rock-inspired "Move to the City" is the third track on the EP. "Mama Kin" is a cover of a song by Aerosmith, a band Guns N' Roses has cited as one of their major influences.
