Ardt Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 One of the big reasons i got super excited about the reunion is that now that slash and axl have reunited maybe now we'll get some amazing boxsets and reissued albums. It would be incredible if we can get a super deluxe edition of AFD with demos and live concert audio or footage, as well as packaging the way led zep did and the way metallica is doing now. I think its time they emptied the vaults. I heard an interview where Niven said they filmed almost every show of UI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonofnazareth Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 A reissue of AFD will only draw more attention to how integral Steven and Izzy were/are to the sound of GNR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNRfan2008 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I just want them to put out a Very Best Of collection and bury the Greatest Hits into "out of print" status. Such bullshit that TSI had two tracks and Appetite only had 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colossus of Rhodes Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) one thing I hope they do is dedicate the entire gig, for that single album, with the original crew. then release it as a live album. it's somewhat of a tradition now (for iconic/legendary albums): Van Morrison - Astral Weeks Live at the Hollywood Bowl (2008) Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers Live (2015) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L082mdXDrUo Edited April 4, 2016 by Colossus of Rhodes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurfsUp Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 hope so, someone spilled beer all over my copy this weekend and the sleeve is ruined. that said, if any record i own should be covered in shitty beer, it would be appetite, ha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nico_france Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I don't see the point... perfect album, great sound and mix, no need to put demos or whatever... much more interesting would be to have a real live album from the classic ear, a la LED ZEP DVD BOX, and sure we want a new abum!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont mean re-mastering that masterpiece. Im saying a nice in depth package with photos, notes, live stuff, video.

Apollo Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I would take new music over remixes of 30 year old songs or a greatest hits album. I already own every official GnR release. I don't need to pay 15 bucks to get the "hits" on one single album. Gnr has such a small catalog, putting out old music is idiotic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 As much as AFD is the definitive artistic statement of this band, I'd actually be more interested in a big UYI release. instrumental tracks, demos, remixed remastered, untouched live tracks, the documentary.... AFD is perfect... UYI needs some love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first set they left off the DVD was great, this DVD went out of print months after it came out because it was self-released. Bands and labels do reissues because it keeps money flowing in, and because they want better copies for sale on iTunes and Amazon, bands are remastering for 24 bit for download and Blu Ray audio and put the box sets out for the fans. There's nothing exciting about "remastered for iTunes" which is where the money is being made, but giving the fans a box set and including the downloads.

Johnny Drama Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I'd be up for rereleased UYI with Izzy turned up much in the way Metallica needs to rerelease Justice with Jason turned up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colossus of Rhodes Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 17 hours ago, Wagszilla said: That'd be awesome but I'd rather have a gig dedicated to UYI and CD. The reason Van Morrison gig is so good is that it doesn't sound exactly like it does on the album. There's a whole band behind him. I'm not sure you can have nice strings to 12 songs about getting drunk and crushing pussy. It ain't unplugged. This is acoustic and semi-orchestrated because the original album is acoustic and semi-orchestrated. Even the original guitar player, who did phenomenal job on the album plays here (Van's Slash). So AFD would be in the same vain as the original, yet at the same time not the exact replica, that's the attraction. UYI why not! As for the CD, like it or not, doesn't qualify as a milestone/iconic album. Maybe can be replayed live for entirely different reason: As Axl's input is phenomenal (vocals, lyrics), and music/instrumentals/production not on the same level by a huge margin, with improved instrumentals, arrangements, production, intros, outros, they could make another iconic GnR album out of it. In effect they are already doing it (CD, Better played in Troubadour), whilst it probably won't ever be released as a singular live album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I would choose this over yet another hq re-issue anytime. As for Van, this type of arrangement he kind of lost over time. Van performed all those numbers with solo guitar, fully orchestrated ( that squeaky clean and extremely polished period with shitload of instruments, strings, horns and whatnot), in rock-settings and so on. Never quite as good (as the original album and this). Edited April 6, 2016 by Colossus of Rhodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKesseli Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 A GNR Box set Deluxe Edition would be perfect. Documentary with interview and unseen footage of a few shows. Just like the Pearl Jam "PJ20". Remastered ADF, unreleased songs and full Troubadour shows 1986 and 2016. One can dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
