Re-recorded AFD Live or Studio w/new Guns ?

[Luigi]

Ok, shoot it down or go with it, but I'd like to here a studio or live version of the now to be Guns N Roses playing AFD songs. After the NY shows I've now come to the agreement in my mind that this band is what was once again and that is GNR. WELL DONE GUYS! And before you start to cry about the New material- new cd keep in mind just your thoughts on the topic!

[Axlfreek]

in an interview with kurt loder back in 1999 axl mentioned that the new band re-recorded appetite along with YCBM and patience

[slashisvr]

That would be the worst thing EVER in the history of rock n roll as far as i'm concerned. You can't improve on perfection! Only those too young and dumb to understand would want AFD re-recorded with these hired hands.

I'd just want to hear it for Axl re-recorded Vox.  Releasing it would be carreer suicide.

[Luigi]

I know there's alot of other things he wants to cover but I think doing this would complete the band as one in the sound department.

No,  you need to see it for yourself, Robin's playing is more than I can tell you! It's all about now! Get your old head phones off and go to the show. I thought the samething you did until I went to NY show. Trust me THEY ROCK

The new band is good, but you can't redo the originals. I think re-releasing AFD would be the worst move possible. It would turn the tide for many old fans like myself.  This new GNR would lose credibility instantly and not be able to establish themselves. Hey look at Linkin Park. I thought their first album was descent. Then they re-released it and it was horrible! They lost all creditability for casual fans. Plus, they mocked Sweet Child which YOU NEVER want to do.  Back  to the point at hand, Axl realizes that his new band needs to release CD and other new material.

Your right! I never thought of it that way but I got to admit,  they do a great job live.

[GunnerRose]

Axl is on a roll right now.

16,000 tickets sold in a few minutes
DJ's foaming to interview him
Fight at a club----its in every paper in the country
Headlining Festivals
Fans, DJs, celebrities, sports stars are acting like he is the only ROCKSTAR in the world.

We might have to admit....Axl fucking knows his business

[da_pope]

That would be an insult to the old band.
They wrote those songs not these new guys.

AFD redux should be released over the net for free, a special import CD, or b-sides to singles, if they would do it at all.  These are their songs now. They have put their own stamp on the songs, they play them live, they are associated with them, so they can do what they want. I'd be interested.

I don't think putting it out as an album would be a good idea though. It should be for the die hard fan. Newbies should identify this line up with the songs they created, more than the old songs.

Your insane if you think the AFD are associated with the new line up, get real people im kinda scared with some posters here.

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

I'd like to here a studio version of AFD by the new band. A live version wouldn't mean that much to me I think.

[padje]

I'd also like to hear it, but I would never want to see it released... Then the mainstream public, will start to compare the two, and the new band, although they're excellent, wouldn't survive... The new version could be just like or even more up to date (music wise), which might make it good, but it can simply never have that 1987 vibe, of a bunch of guys that just known eachother for a few years and landed a major record deal.... A new version can simply never out do original AFD...

Some people here are all about Finck and not about Slash I guess.  I don't get it personally, they both play very differently.  While slash brings the blues Finck brings that kinda Kurt Cobain sound to his bends.  Finck has great emotion when he plays some parts and it is very deep and I like it in moderation, but when he goes faster he comes out as sloppy.  But I don't understand how people prefer the AFD songs with Finck's style over Slash's style, that is beyond me.   I was hoping with bucket gone they'd finally get the solo's right.  Fortus should just play every lead on the old songs.

To my ears it's like hearing Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 3 in D Minor in an out of tune piano. 

Yeah he does a decent job on the SCOM studio recording but even when I play it to people unfamiliar with the material they know it's not Slash.

No Fincked up AFD should be released, only the new stuff. 

[nycangel]

i have to say as being a life long gnr listener from like 1987 i would never want AFD re-recorded or UYI, that was old GNR and thats the way is should stay. of course they have to play them and maybe put out a live recording of the songs with the new gnr but the old records need to stay old gnr, you cant and shouldnt try to something that made you famous in the first place, that cd is legendary and should never be redone. however i do agree the new gnr is great just not great enough to rerecord AFD and then put it out for public listening.

[GnR-NOW]

We ve all heard the AFD songs played live during 2002 and 2006.  And I thought the band played the hell out of those songs, they sounded great.  But I don't think re-releasing AFD is necessary, Id much rather prefer a live CD after the NYC shows, the European Tour, and the Fall NA tour.  GNR should be concerned with releasing new material.  This Xmas CD, the Hammerstein DVD and possibly a live cd should be released

GNR = Gnr songs... So yeah, they're associated with the old songs.

I'll admit I prefer Finck over Slash. Not that I don't love Slash, but Robin is what got me interested in GNR again.

[Fortus]

should be on internet not released
