Guns N´Roses: “More Lies” (A.K.A: “Lies II”) – “Aborted Album”.



On December 6, 1988, Guns'N'Roses published his second studio album "Lies"; a compilation Lp because on the side A, was reissued the EP of 1986: "Live?! * @ Like a Suicide", previously edited by the independent label UZI Suicide.While on the B side, some acoustic songs and discards appear from the "Appetite for Destruction" sessions.Ten years later and with the band already practically decomposed, Geffen Records programmed a second part of Lies: "More Lies" (a.k.a: Lies II ", following the same technique as the first one.Some of the material came from the EP "From the jungle" distributed only in Japan, along with the full content of the third EP "Civil War", March 1993.

In addition, to make it more attractive, were included two extra tracks played live: "Live and Let Die" at Wembley Stadium in London in 1991 and "Yesterdays" in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1992. In this reconstruction, another one is added: "Oh My God" from the soundtrack of the film: "End of Days".

"Lies II" or "More Lies", was scheduled to be published just 10 years after the first, in December 1998, with a view to that year's Christmas campaign, but the recent edition of the compilation "Use your illusion" in the United States; the internal problems that were between the original members of the band and the absence of a good live album, delayed its publication and finally was canceled by "Live Era'87 '93", which after a year of work ended up seeing the light in November 1999.

The artwork of "More Lies" was in line with the first one, a cover that emulated being a tabloid with real news and messages loaded with certain sarcasm.The album was also to be a posthumous tribute to the porn actress Savannah, Slash's ex-girlfriend and who had recently shot herself to death after being disfigured after a traffic accident. This new reconstruction opens with Bit.ly/86gnrl2 the three live themes of the Marquee but with the correct sequencing, followed by two songs extracted from the cdsgl "Live and Let Die", the live version in Wembley and "Shadow of your love", altered studio recording to make it appear live. All this followed by the Lp version of "Sweet Child O'Mine",plus the full content of the EP "Civil War", in its international version; the song "Oh My God", that everybody believed was the return of Guns & Roses to the old ones and the interview to Slash. 
Enjoy it!.
