Modano09 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Wasn't the "bury Appetite" quote in context of wanting the new GNR to be even better than old GNR? At this point, it is what it is. They're pushing 60. There were a lot of things they could have/wanted to do together or individually that didn't happen the way they wanted it too. The made peace with each other, they're playing again together, the tours are more than successful, the shows are well received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An acoustic set would be cool. The acoustic version of you're crazy is great.. I prefer any of the slow tempo version like the electric version on Live Era.. Axl also sings the slow tempo in his low register which still always sounds great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fashionista Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I do not like CD, but The Wall is far superior to Dark Side of The Moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdinan Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Never, but you can't blame them as artists for that being the goal. Whether or not you fail - regardless of what medium(s) you work in, your goal should be for your next work to be better than the last one, and the one after that to be better than the one before. That's all subjective. I personally like the Illusions as a whole better than Appetite. That's not the general consensus though. Appetite was the right record for the right time when records still meant something. We're in a completely different era of music nowadays, where even attempting to "bury" something from 30 years ago is foolish. Guns will never move on from that album, nor should they. It's what made them a household name. It's what made them wealthy. Most of those songs are classics - and should be celebrated for as long as possible by the band, and other artists after them when they are long gone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 At least in the case of GNR, I don't think that they, in their mid 50's, can bury an album that is considered to be one of the classic rock albums of the 20th century, that they made in their youth where they had nothing to lose and lived and breathed music. That doesn't mean that they won't be able to come up with some great stuff however. But the hype, and iconic status of Appetite is so much that nothing can bury it - and there is nothing wrong with that IMO. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverburst80 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) I haven't gone through all the replies here but you have to realize the feelings an artist has towards his/her own music is very different to the fans. it's quite possible Axl prefers UYI and CD over AFD...of course they aren't going to stop playing AFD songs because they know how much the fans love them.

Route66 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 13 hours ago, Edward Nigma said: Its been over 30 years since AFD came out. AFD got the remastered/expanded treatment and some rare released tracks featured in the ultimate locked/loaded boxset, all I'm asking is will this be the end of Guns promoting Appetite and moving on to newer material, expand the back catalog and moving on? Yes I get AFD is one of hard rock/metals biggest selling albums but you don't get other veteran popular rock/metal bands solely focusing on one album from years past. When is Guns going to 'Bury' Appetite and move on? Pretty sure this is not a requirement that the current band are even considering never mind losing any sleep over. Especially since it makes up the majority of most high points from any show. Fans love it. They are now one of the biggest grossing tours of all time. Why bury success? Embrace it i say.

I have to admit, I wouldn't like The Wall nearly as much as I do if it didn't have Comfortably Numb on it, which makes me more of a casual fan, I guess. But IMO Shine On You Crazy Diamond is their best song, the beginning sequence is otherworldly and it's a great tribute to Syd Barrett.

A lot of people only know Parts I - V from the compilations and live albums. For me, Part's VII - IX are where the real magic is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its quite obvious what he means by the quote, its not literal like 'i never ever wanna hear about this album again', like any artist worth his salt he's saying he wants to move on musically with his their next album. And they did really. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole piece is amazing, but the beginning is my favorite part for some reason. Edited September 11, 2018 by Fourteenbeers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
