Live ?!★꩜ Like a Suicide
Live ?!★@ Like a Suicide is a four-track EP from Guns N' Roses, released on 16 December 1986 on the band's own Uzi Suicide label. Despite the title, it isn't really live. The band were told a genuine concert recording would cost too much, so crowd noise was added in the studio afterwards. It was reportedly limited to 10,000 copies, on vinyl and cassette only.
It arrived just before Appetite for Destruction, so it catches the band at their rawest and most self-released. Its songs were later gathered, with four new acoustic numbers, on G N' R Lies in 1988. In 2018 they turned up again as bonus tracks on the super deluxe edition of Appetite for Destruction, with seamless crowd noise between songs and a fifth track, "Shadow of Your Love".
