AfD 30th Anniversary

[14 Yrs Of Silence]

I'm enjoying the Defiant Ones, tremendous documentary.

I get it, I'd have most if not all of the extras they'd put on, but they can certainly remaster it, include early demos and outtakes, clean up and enhance the sound there too, add some live shows (Marquee and Ritz) along with interviews.  Would be great promotion to celebrate the album, and get people excited about purchasing GN'R material again.  I get it, we want unreleased tracks, we want new recordings, but I'd happily take this for now.

I didn't mention new recordings or supposed finished material hahaha.  Not since one goober on here actually said, he thought fans would rather hear more cover songs than new material.   Good god

Sure a deluxe AFD, may be interesting.  I don't see it, but I am sure I would buy it.  I did buy the last vegas blue ray after all.

The money would be in the HBO documentary though.  My money

Also would be great promotion if they coupled this show with a deluxe cd package

What would you want to have in that?

Really there isn't much more I havnt seen or heard from this era of the band, that I would want to buy...   I have the CD, I have the album, I have all there CDs actually, so adding in a new track list wouldn't really benefit me from a band. 

This guy, this fucking guy.. gotta love him! 

[Lord Stan]

But why there is no gig on the actual birthday

[allwaystired]

FUCKING HELL! YES!!!!!!


Something is really happening!!!!!!??

[pilferk]

But why there is no gig on the actual birthday

So...there sorta is.

The show starts at 9:30 PM the day before (July 20)...and is slated to end at 12:30 (so after midnight) the day OF (July 21) the anniversary.

They have little or maybe no time to rehearse anything new...I mean...playing AFD start to end. I really doubt that.
Maybe Steven and Izzy show up for a couple of songs and that's all. It would be awesome and first time since 1990.

You're Crazy is already on the list of alternates on the setlist I believe.

That only leaves Think About You and Anything Goes as "new" songs. The rest of them they've been playing on the tour already.

Yeah and Think About You has always been a song considered by NuGNR so Im pretty sure with a couple of run downs that song is a posibility.

[dmathski]

As far as "guests" for this 30th anny show I would say Adler is a very strong likelihood. Would be surprised with Izzy. Others like Angus or Bach but been there done that

Angus I don't mind, but for the love of God, please keep Sebastian away from this. He is a walking hair metal cliche.

Been there done that also with Lenny Kravitz and Kid Rock

Not only considered, but actually played several times in 2001, 2002 and 2006

What in the world would Angus or Bach have to do with AFD 30?   

Of this is a celebration of the original album.  I would prefer it would be done with the original guys on the album.  Played the way it was on the album.   Or not at all

Strip down the band.  Do we really need two piano players there for a celebration of one of the rawest albums ever    If it's a true celebration.  No

If it's just another shower on this concert tour.  Then have at it

A good piece about the 30th anniversary of appetite from someone who was in LA during the time.

Baz has either had surgery or is going to have surgery to fix his instrument, so I don't think he'll be singing. He could be there though.

I agree 100% with everything stated here.  We need the original five members, no extras.  No "special guests".  Play the whole album as it was meant to be heard.  Nothing else is necessary.

[HBK]

Obviously IZZY

 

[kaasupoltin]

Play the whole album as it was meant to be heard.

Pffff, go listen to the studio album then.

In my opinion AFD is one of those albums that are not meant to be heard in one definite way. That's what makes it so great.
