Tom-Ass Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 They are playing it right now on my local classic rock radio station. I realize it isn't big news but I am not sure I have ever heard this version on the radio and it is pretty cool. This station usually plays the crap out of the studio version. They should play more Live Era stuff on the radio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverguns Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I just checked now thinking kohd has also re recorded vocals for Live Era but to my ears not, they just hide Axl vocals during end of chorus, not much changed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never bought live era or greatest hits. I did buy the KOHD live single when it came out but it got so over played on the radio and MTV that i rarely listened to my copy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Live Era is indeed the Freddie tribute one. Excellent version, although it's funny how high Teddy's vocals are mixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people talk shit about it around here but it is still a really good album.. You have to be an super GnR nerd to notice the over dubs or whatever.. That isn't a knock on anyone here either, but most people wouldn't notice. We are all super GnR nerds to some extent. I never knew until I saw people posting about it on the boards and there is still some great stuff that wasn't touched.. The version of You're Crazy alone is worth picking up a copy. Jungle, Estranged and even Rocket Queen with the missing guitar track are all great! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-p-d-a Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) i remember a music video for Knockin' On Heaven's Door. It was the Freddie Tribute. They cut the reggae and the Tracey & Roberta part. Atleast VIVA (a old german music tv channel) showed that KOHD video.

EvH Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I found comparing the original mix from the KOHD single with the Live Era remix quite interesting. Beefed up bottom end, higher crowd noise (which was definitely mixed too low on the single) and other differences...But no re-recordings or overdubs on this. Too bad about the horrendous mastering though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphus Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I never cared much for the fact there are overdubs. Live Era is awesome. Axl was capable of sounding that good anyway so who cares if they overdubbed some parts. I love to just crank it up and enjoy this masterpiece of a band that was. You wanted the best... Gives me goosebumps. A very cool representation of that era. I bought it way back in 1999 (replaced it with a new copy since) and for a while it was my favorite GN'R record to listen to. Great versions, live KOHD at it's best. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dean Posted September 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2020 Live Era is GN'R on steroids. Fucking amazing. Rocket Queen is vastly superior than what is on Appetite. Axl's re-recorded vocals are 10/10 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionsOfSpiders Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I love that they included Axl’s cover of It’s Alright on Live Era, I’d buy it again just for that and the version of You’re Crazy on it. Not so keen on what they did to Move to the City with that drawn out instrumental part in the middle of it, so boring - the rest of the album was great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the outro jam of MTTC as well as some other songs from the Live Era, like Pretty Tied Up for example. My only issue with this record is the sound and the fact that Double Talkin Jive is missing on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t tell you the last time I listened to Appetite, if I ever want to listen to Jungle etc, it’s always Live Era. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post baldek Posted September 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2020 I love Move to the city on Live Era. It's gotta be one the best showcases of the band's musicianship, instrumentally wise. When Axl goes "Ladies and gentlemen: the band!" I'm in for a ride. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Civil War... They could do another live album from the classic days and with the songs they left out and totally different versions of the other songs performance wise... Would love to hear one with much more songs performed by the AFD lineup and stuff from the Skin N' Bones tour.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axlr0s37 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Live Era is amazing! Was the soundtrack to my teenage years. Used to love rocking out to that album. Turned me into the rocker i am today 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
