I guess that goes for everything, from food, shoes, to vintage typewriters last time people got music for free, was at the isle of wight I guess, and that was by ambush rather than by free will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really have to go out of your way to find a reason to be mad about this one. 11 minutes ago, Modano09 said: I remember people posting their dream wish list for a box set and personally thinking there's no way GNR would do something like that, and now it sounds like they're doing something close to it. And people are still mad for some reason! We don't even know exactly what is coming out and there are all kinds of complaints. Now THAT'S speculation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janrichmond Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Well i'm pretty sure i'll buy it as long as it's real GnR. If they let any non originals on it? No way 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should put an audio from '86 over it and that's the only way it'd be decent I remember the synths over It's So Easy's verse being brutal too.. I really don't care to see anything from this line up except maybe a best of compilation of best performances from the tour. They have sat on so much from the classic era, I really hope we get finally some good stuff tomorrow or whenever it is! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume there’s prob a bit of a margin between what UMG is willing to put up for an advance and what GNR would want for a renegotiated deal w Slash and Duff involved. This release could certainly forecast insterest towards a number that makes sense for all involved. The band is a business. At the same time they can also enjoy it and try and do cool stuff within those bounds. It’s not an either or endeavor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Troubadour show from 2016 is interesting in some ways, but not the musical part, hahaha just the anecdote of it. Hopefully, they don't make it that hard to get one or two songs, in case I dont like the whole box set or just want to purchase parts of it. I really don't want a 'Shadow of your Love' re-recorded with Fortus and Frank. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want a box set, now we're mad we're getting one, because we want the current line up to release music, even though we're mad about who's in the current line up? They're putting out a box set and you can either buy it or don't. Some GnR fans are like sex starved people and a boxset or a re-release of a 30 year old album is like a handshake that already gives them some kind of affection, so they're already happy with the bare minimum. Only new music will get me excited. I guess I'm kinda kooky that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFD5 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) Serious question here what would persuade you to part with £478 or $650. I mean what would you expect for that because there's a possibility that you'll already own most of the stuff on previous GNR albums. I mean seriously are you willing to pay those amounts of money for a couple of tracks that were at the time only good enough for the cutting room floor.

Exactly. That's what I'm.trying to point out. The big picture is the obvious push and support for the band. This reissue is also an indication that they don't want to just tour and call it a day. SOYL is streaming would that be the only unreleased track on a Appetite remaster? Idk but I'm going to guess no here. There's obviously favor for Guns now in the industry, Slash is back, they've completed a huge portion of a tour that people never thought would happen under circumstances that showed they want to get out and play on time. Everyone should try to look at the big picture, these are not signs of a dead band. The glass is clearly half full. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Here's the real question - will they have isolated audio of Axl banging Adriana? I think in one of the Axl chats, he did say he was going to revisit AFD when someone asked if he was going to have it remastered, I don't remember if a Deluxe Edition was mentioned. Box sets usually aren't "cash grabs" (greatest hits usuallly are-or were), and who else but FANS are going to buy it? The casual fan just wants the usual songs, could care less about demos and outtakes. I would love to hear how the songs evolved, but they need to do more than put existing demos out that made the bootleg rounds, however they need some of that in there. There will probably be different versions - the remastered AFD, a 2 disc version, and a box set - and probably memorabilia. It'll be interesting to see if Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy and Steven promote it - even if they don't play, it would be cool to see them do a Q&A like Jimmy Page did for Led Zeppelin.

There is ZERO indication new music may be on the way. It may be, but there is nothing that one would say hey it’s coming. But, it’s cool you are optimistic. It’s not cool you go around bashing others for having a more realistic outlook. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even multiple vinyls or whatever Lafon said wouldn't be enough for me to part with that kind of cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any boxes out there that cost that much? I can't afford something of that price, no matter if it's the GN'R logo bathed in 24K gold But I assume something highly priced should include exclusive items that only a few can have, like a collectors kind of thing. I don't know what it could be. If they want to charge that high, only a few people will have that amount of money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 People also need to understand why we are upset about a 30 year old album with old demos everyone has heard getting released instead of new music. I love AFD but do not give a fuck about a reissue that's going to cost an arm and a leg. Which is my other issue with this band. Why is everything so fucking expensive? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's get real, I wouldn't even pay that much money for a double album of new songs from the AFD lineup. That's seriously a lot of money for any kind of music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
