Vincent Vega Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Or is just me, or does anyone else actually want to hear the re-recorded AFD someday?Even just for morbid curiosity...I actually liked the re-recorded part of Sweet Child...It's a lot more modern sounding.

Black Sabbath Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Ever since I heard anything about it I've wanted to hear it.Anyone who says that they don't want to hear it at all it either lying or an idiot. Everyone, regardless of how much, has some curiosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaRocker Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Just for curiosity, the AFD will always be that 1987 vinyl record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyrie Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Not really. I understand them doing it at the time - rebuilding the band, you want people to get the parts down, and be able to hear where things aren't working, combined with Axl probably being too much of a perfectionist - but AFD is a great album. I want to hear new songs, not new takes on old stuff. For the same reason, I don't really want to see Oh My God released on any future albums - we've had it for ages, even if it changes a bit, it's good enough as is.

Andrew07 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 it would be interesting to hear, but i doubt it will ever be released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsguy Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Sure would love to hear it, if of course there was some way of releasing it without the planet freaking out. I don't believe it would help the new band by releasing it. Would be great to hear for us though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binge_And_Slash Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Some songs off it.Really would like to hear studio versions of Jungle, Nightrain, Paradise City, SCOM and You Could Be Mine/Patience. Possibly Mr Brownstone too, but I'm not too fussed about the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axl_on_drums Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 No doubt. Axl probably added a string section to Nightrain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged Reality Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) Just listen to Live Era. Most of the vocals were clearly re-recorded, and I remember reading that Slash re-recorded some solos, too.I know it's not Appetite, but there's even a part during "Estranged" where you can really notice the new vocals kick in after the original ones (6:49 - "Well I jumped into the river..." is exactly the same as the original live recording, and then New Axl suddenly appears at 6:52 when he sings "Too many times to make it home..."--I just noticed this for the first time the other day, but it's so obvious...even the quality/clarity of the recording suddenly shifts).It's my opinion--based on what we know of the recording sessions for ChiDem and what was going on with the band--that these were done in '98. I think the vocal track for Madagascar was also recorded around then, because Axl's voice on Live Era's re-dubs sounds almost exactly the same--that kind of higher-pitched, thinner rasp that he had going on, before he altogether lost that gravelly edge.It's fun for me to hear these recordings over the years because it's usually fairly easy to place the time range songs are from based on Axl's voice--it's just changed remarkably over the years, multiple times.

HOOSIER GUNZ Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I'd still very much like to hear anything and/or everything that billy and/or josh played on or collaborated with axl on. I think that would be a rich jewel and hopefully their marks are all over cd2? guess were gonna find out soon enough, right? I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I'd love to hear it, tried to listen to AFD other day and it just sounds a bit dated, they revamp it live which is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also said it was around this time that Axl had planned to re-record AFD with the new band (then composed of Robin, Paul, Tommy, Chris, Dizzy, Billy Howerdel) and release it as a sort of "Greatest Hits" package. Youth's first job, he claimed, was to dissuade Axl from that idea. Duff also claimed in an interview that the live album was being heavily worked on in 1998 but was greatly delayed to the aftershocks of Geffen being sold in January 1999. It was sometime around May-September 1998 that Axl finally began recording vocals, both for CD and for Live Era. When Brian May had worked with Axl for over a week in December 1999, he claimed Axl had two albums worth just of vocal parts alone by then.Also, as an aside, after Robin had left the band for the first time in 1999, he gave an interview where he claimed the band had worked on and/or recorded at least 35 songs at that time. And in '96, Slash claimed that between him and Axl there was about 80 new songs. Edited December 14, 2010 by Indigo Child Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Matinator Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I'd rather have the original remastered.Amen To That Brother.Wait just one damn minute, I just got the best idea ever! They should release a 2 CD deluxe remastered edition of AFD with the first album remastered with some bonus tracks (b-sides, such as the demos of Shadow of your Love, Don't Cry & You're Crazy) as disk one & the re-recorded version from '99 as disk 2.I know it probably won't happen, but i can dream can't I?
