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. pot and kettle. it's also not cool to call optimistic people (which, I guess, fits me too) "naive". for crying out loud, is it ever allowed on here to be a little bit enthusiastic about this band?

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. It's a lot of money, that's for sure. I could see some box set with: - Remastered AFD (CD, Vinyl and cassette) - Demos properly mixed and mastered (CD and vinyl, 2-3 discs) - Early show recordings with the proper treatment with clean-up, mixing and mastering (CD and vinyl, 5-6 discs) - Photo book with stories - DVD with digitally remastered interviews from the time period - DVD with current interviews about the making of the album - Ritz DVD digitally remastered - Replicas of original lyrics sheets - Replicas of guitar picks used at the time, plus newly designed for the occasion - AFD themed stickers - AFD themed lithographs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we have something coming out this year, if we didn't there would be complaints, now that we do it's still bad? Where's the logic? I'm neither complaining nor saying it is ''bad'' (we don't even know what they are releasing yet?): I'm merely stating that they are now a thorough legacy act, an Appetite re-release compounding that point.

t-p-d-a Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) i hope of very good soundboards from Tokyo '88 or Marquee '87 remember Live Era has UTLH and Crazy in a very good quality (i'm not talkin about the re-recording by Axl). It must exists a very good soundboard from the 10th Dec. Tokyo Show! ignore the video, just listen the audio and remember live era Edited May 2, 2018 by t-p-d-a 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything is priced at the $5-600 range, they won't be selling a 2CD set. I know, I know... before you say it, GN'R always disappoints, I'll spare you the effort. Fun to be negative, eh? Personally, I don't have time for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beautifulanddamned Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 The best, most impressive thing about this whole reunion has been what the marketing company has pulled off. This ding dong band went to them and said, "We're doing a reunion tour with 3/5 of the line up, no new music - we'll be charging hundreds of dollars per ticket and won't be doing any interviews/appearances- good luck!" And they have knocked it out of the fucking park. That will be my lasting impression of the NITL period- great marketing. ROCK N' ROLL!!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNRmello77 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Lots of speculations by everyone here, someone must have got it right about whats it gonna be. Atleast we have news people! Since the start of the reunion and the first months after I think this is the most exciting thing here for us. Finally something is happening we could say 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case then slash and Duff would have ditched the Chinese material and we would have gotten full sets of Appetite/illusions tracks. Sometimes you have to read between the lines. And follow the money, they have a huge support which they didn't have now that Slash and Duff are back and have completed two years of a record tour.

Blackstar Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 The highest priced version of it will be aimed at a specific target group: people who are both vinyl collectors and die-hard fans and also can afford it - that is, not many people. It won't be addressed to people who don't buy physical albums or even not albums at all and just buy/stream songs. Logically, there will be cheaper versions in various forms (CDs, less items, digital etc.) for the "masses". Predictably, the most expensive stuff will soon be available in digital form for illegal download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two things came to mind when I read this and they're both Sex Pistols related. Johnny Rotten saying "You ever get the feeling you've been cheated?"

Hollywood Gunner Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 im going to allow myself to be optimistic here for the next 30 hours and predict that when that timer reaches 0 that new material will be available for instant dowload on gnr.fm and ill be listening to that shit on full blast on my way to work friday morning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Pessimists need to try and ruin it for everybody As mentioned before several times, there'll likely be tiered versions depending on how much content you're looking to get out of it; likely a standard CD with just a remastered Appetite, a 2 or 3 CD version with bonus content, then it can jump into the full package with whatever else they're planning to throw into it. I'd expect the same for the digital market, minus anything like a photograph book or whatever. Obviously it'll be available on torrents fast for the people who are too cheap to buy content. Obviously, these deluxe physical packages are catered to the hardcore fans, as the casuals just stream the songs they want to listen to off of things like Apple Music. A lot of bands still release these big packages, so they must do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen 5 and even 10 LP boxed sets go priced at $100 to $400 in the past (new, not on collectors markets) so it would have to be like a 15 LP set to justify $650. My guess is this: 2CD - $19.99 3 or 4 CD - $34.99 3 or 4 CD, plus 2 LP - $99.99 3 or 4 CD, plus 3 or 4 LP - $149.99 3 or 4 CD, plus 3 or 4 LP, plus posters, art prints, kitchen sink and everything else - $649.99 ____________________________________________________________________________ Price for $649.99 after months go by and they can't sell nearly enough? $299, tops. cant wait for my 18 CDs and 9 DVDs appetite deluxe edition box set!
