vaida Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 If AFD were to be re-released, feat. Buckethead, Robin, Brain etc..would they have used the same cover concept with a new set of Skulls ?As long as they called it AFD 2001 or AFD 2011 (depending no the line up) I wouldn't have a problem with it.

drtydane Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Honestly, I don't c axl having ever done that. He knows how much flack he would catch for doing such a thing, so I don't think its even worth the discussion. Guess no one else does either, lol.

AtariLegend Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 When AFD was re-recorded during the same time as the "Live Era" studio work, Buckethead wasn't there.I'd still like to hear this had it leaked, but I don't think it will ever be released or really should.

rumandraisin Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 AFD 99 has robin, paul, tommy, josh, dizzy (and presumably chris). i never understand why people always go on ab out wanting a studio version of nightrain with buckets solo. it doesnt exist. but it'd still be amazig to hear the album, sweet child 99 was actually really good.

vaida Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Maybe they might release it as a bonus cd with a future album, or re release of a previous album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 A masterpiece, which AFD is, shouldn't be re-recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallFlagg Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I love all the line ups but that would be a disaster and laughable, nothing says living in the past more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drtydane Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) Its like ozzy re-recording those classic albums with puffy and the bassist from ST/Metallic. Blasphemy. Edited December 28, 2011 by drtydane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolRanchDressing Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Maybe he doesn't want to put it out because he knows it's vastly superior to the old, cheesy recordings and doesn't want to diminish the impact of the original recording.

KiraMPD Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Considering how much I wanted to shoot someone in the head after listing to the "Paradise City" cover on Slash's album, I think they should f*cking leave AFD ALONE!!!.I would love a remastered copy though, the recording/printing quality on both Vinyl and CD is a little poor.

LesPaul_Player_91 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I liked the re-recorded Sweet Child and I'd love to hear it all out of curiosity. The only way we'll ever if hear it is if it leaked though - there could be legal issues, it features a long-gone lineup and it wouldn't sell and the media would have a field day. Even adding the re-recorded AFD it to a new release like KISS and Journey did with their re-recordings wouldn't work as it features different musicians to those in the band now. However, I do think it would be cool if the current lineup rerecorded some classic tunes and they put that out as a bonus disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 When the time comes for a new album or whatever, I want to hear new music, not AFD re-recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolRanchDressing Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I just want the new band to have the opportunity to prove once and for all, definitively, head-to-head that they are superior musicians.Nostalgia is nostalgia, sure. And there's no accounting for personal tastes. But superior musicianship isn't debatable. And the re-recorded AFD would settle the dispute once and for all.

AFD is already recorded, there are lyrics, riffs, etc., that were written 25+ years ago. It's not a big deal to re-record something. They should record a new album to prove themselves (well, probably Chinese Democracy will never reach the AFD's "legendary" status). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 i don't think axl could do this even if he wanted to. might be some legal issues.Any artist can record new versions, you see it when someone wants to put a greatest hits out and for whatever reason, didn't get the original recording, will do it, or put a live recording of it. Sometimes it has to do with the recording being too expensive, or a feud between labels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 And the re-recorded AFD would settle the dispute once and for all.IMO the only thing that it would most likely prove is that no matter how technically better musicians they are they still wouldn't be able to re-create the magic found on the original AFD.

vaida Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 The question is, would Axl use his original vocals or re record them ?..or maybe do a mix of old and new ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 You don't re-release a perfection called 'Appetite for Destruction' with different musicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
