Bobbo Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Marc,It's well known that Axl once planned to release a re-recorded version of AFD in the late '90s. My question is this. Was he actually planning on *attempting* to have the old AFD replaced by the new AFD? As in, the '87 would no longer be in print in favor for the '99 one? Did he ever tell you exactly HOW he wanted the re-release to go down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadcaplaughs Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I've never understood how it became considered fact that Axl planned on releasing this. From the few times he's mentioned it, he's made Axl made it sound like it was for rehearsal/learning purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recklessroad Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Nothing will ever stop the first one from being out but I think he wanted to use the second one for movie soundtracks and what ever else he could use it for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wfuckinga Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Do you think that will ever be released in anyway, even if its a leak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bonham Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Do you think that will ever be released in anyway, even if its a leak?It will leak eventually. There are people on this very forum who have it. Half the songs don't have any vocals, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrandyk Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Weird to think that the time this was recorded is closer to the original release of AFD than it is to today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangoSkank Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Do you think that will ever be released in anyway, even if its a leak?It would have to be a leak. I doubt he'd release something that's missing half of the current lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowmass Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Nothing will ever stop the first one from being out but I think he wanted to use the second one for movie soundtracks and what ever else he could use it for. As in he wanted to possibly use the '99 AFD for movies etc....so as he would not have to pay royalties to Duff, Izzy, Slash & Steven? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThinkAboutYou Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I wouldn't want an official release of this but maybe a leak just to hear the differenceBut to release a rerecorded version of AFD officially to me would be a crime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 During the 2004 lawsuit, Slash and Duff's lawyers actually brought up the re-recording of 'Welcome to the Jungle' which Axl wanted for Black Hawk Down, that Axl was trying to con them out of their mechanical royalties. It actually wouldn't surprise me if Axl had some intention, at some stage, of replacing the original 1987 album with the 1999 re-recording a la Ozzy Osbourne (wiping Daisley/Kerslake's tracks on the 2002 reissue of Blizzard of Oz); of course, it is one of those ideas a lawyer would recomend against!

With Black Hawk Down and other movies that would want to use WTTJ, in a lot of cases they'd want it because they want a song that defines that era; they don't want a modern re-recording (the only case I can think of with a period film going with re-recordings is with The Wrestler and the Ratt songs being covers by the ex-lead singer Stephen Pearcy).
