Randy Lahey Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) Does anybody else think Axl should commemorate the 25th Anniversary of AFD by playing the album in its entirety on the next leg of the CD Tour? I think it would be a great way to sell more tickets in North America if he were to do this. I know I'd personally be excited to hear the album in its entirety if they are planning on continuing the CD Tour without new music anyway.

Aussiegun Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I think to commemorate the 21st anniversary of the UYIs, they should play one of them in full. :xmasssanta: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacardimayne Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) I think he should release the 1999 versionThis.Hearing them bust out Anything Goes, the fast version of You're Crazy and Think About You would be cool though.

wasted Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 They could do it easily. Would they play any other songs or just those songs? I don't know the protocol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'd personally be excited to hear the album in its entirety if they are planning on continuing the CD Tour without new music anyway.I doubt that would sell more tickets, in the US anyway. It's not just about the songs, it's about the players. Sure hearing AFD live in its entirety would be great - by the guys who made the album. I'd have no interest in seeing it done by a cover band.

Powerage5 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Everyone knows the current band is my favorite lineup ever, but I have no interest to see them celebrate an album by playing it front to back when only one of them had anything to do with the album. Doing something like that would only further fuel the nostalgia act argument.If Duff or Izzy wanted to partake though, well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only hope is that they someday release the Buckethead album and these guys serve as Axl's backing band. Ideally, Bucket, Brain and Robin would come back to play the songs they helped write but I know that is not going to happen.

Ideally, Bucket, Brain and Robin would come back to play the songs they helped write but I know that is not going to happen.I'd love an album from this lineup for sure, but I don't think I can say I'd be disappointed if I never get it. I've seen this lineup 5 times, and its always an absolutely incredible show. I travel literally all over the world to see my favorite band, and yet I've actually seen a GN'R show that absolutely blows even the best Maiden show I've ever seen out of the water; I sincerely doubt I'll ever see a concert in my life that was better than The Ritz gig in February. For that reason alone, I'd say I could never be disappointed whatever comes of the current lineup.

So 50/50 sounds about right to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 i would actually love this idea. i know axl is the only one that has anything to do with appetite, but it would still be really great to see. its an album that should defiantly be celebrated and it was defiantly a big part of axl's life. (i think itd be equally as cool to see slash, duff, izzy, steven do something for it be it together or separately) appetite is just a great record, and something to celebrate its 25th anniversary would be cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I'm sure knowing that Anything Goes was going to be played would send rock fans across the world into orgasmic explosions.I think it would be better forward for Axl to move the new band forward and help them create an identity of their own, rather than living off of songs created by a completely different band. New music is the way to go.......not busting out 25 year old songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturginho Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 They should do like Coheed and Cambria did with Neverender, 4 nights, each album played in its entirety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screamin' Demon Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Not really, we had that in 2001/2002. But I think next up since he brought out Duff & Izzy, he should bring out Matt Sorum and have the band play Double Talkin' Jive & You Could Be Mine with him on drums!

Cosmo Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 They should only do this if it's for one show. There's a limit to promoting this band using the old band's material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
