For episode 200, we're tackling one of the biggest, most ambitious releases of the 1990s - Use Your Illusion 1 and 2 by by Guns n' Roses

Author & Special Guests

Big numbers call for big celebrations, and with Dig Me Out hitting episode #200, we thought it was time to tackle a big record. Nevermind? Ten? Badmotorfinger? Siamese Dream? To predicable! Like Guns nā€™ Roses, we decided to go the biggest of the big and tackle the ambitious double album of the decade Billy Corgan wasnā€™t a part of, the one-two punch of 1991ā€™s Use Your Illusion 1 & 2. To help us tackle this behemoth, Chip Midnight stops by to help us breakdown these 30(!) songs.
