Title: Re: BBC Radio One playing Appetite for Destruction in full on April 3rd Post by: cyllan on March 31, 2008, 06:29:25 PM Is it the unedited version? I should hope so - can't see why not. Oh and if you go to the link provided by Jonx in the first post you can leave your comments and memories about the album and the first time you heard it. There's some heartwarming stuff there and I don't mean just my story. :hihi: Title: Re: BBC Radio One playing Appetite for Destruction in full on April 3rd Post by: TomFriend on March 31, 2008, 06:33:31 PM Kinda makes you wonder 'why now?', but then again, why the hell not.
Be nice to have some decent music on BBC Radio 1 for a change. Title: Re: BBC Radio One playing Appetite for Destruction in full on April 3rd Post by: cyllan on March 31, 2008, 06:47:29 PM Be nice to have some decent music on BBC Radio 1 for a change. You're right there. I'm more of a Radio 4 or Radio 2 listener these days - not sure I even remember where to find Radio 1! ;D Last time I listened, I think Mary Anne Hobbs was still doing the Rock Show! :o Title: Re: BBC Radio One playing Appetite for Destruction in full on April 3rd Post by: Smoking Guns on March 31, 2008, 06:52:16 PM That is pretty freaking cool!! What a treat for listeners.

Be nice to have some decent music on BBC Radio 1 for a change. They did a week of 'masterpieces' shows not so long ago. They played one classic album a night from start to finish (Led Zep 4 was one of them), I was surprised at the time AFD wasn't one of them as I know the host of this show (Zane Lowe) is massive fan of AFD, it seems he's managed to get it included this time round. Title: Re: BBC Radio One playing Appetite for Destruction in full on April 3rd Post by: Jessica on March 31, 2008, 07:27:35 PM I added it to my facebook events, it's crazy how many people already added it too.

Me too!!

And it's not like this album needs promotion, lol : ok: Title: Re: BBC Radio One playing Appetite for Destruction in full on April 3rd Post by: faldor on April 01, 2008, 08:49:59 AM If I want to listen to AFD, I pop in the CD... why wait for some radio station to play it in full :peace: They say they're gonna have interviews from the band, and/or other bands the album may have influenced. So they're not gonna just play the CD from beginning to end with no interruption.And it's not like this album needs promotion, lol : ok: Title: Re: BBC Radio One playing Appetite for Destruction in full on April 3rd Post by: Tord on April 03, 2008, 05:55:45 AM Hopefully someone records it, there might be some good interviews!

Of course we could all put Appetite into our CD player if we want to listen. I have been doing that since 1987. But it's nice to see the album getting some exposure again on national radio and with the potential for some old interviews, the thoughts of fellow musicians and fans etc it should be a good listen! Enjoy listening to your CD!!

I've got it set to record tonight but I have no idea how to convert it from my Sirius to my archaic 7 year old PC to share with the public. My cpu rejects my Sirius as it is and whenever I've tried to hook it up in the past has had some negative results to say the least.Title: Re: BBC Radio One playing Appetite for Destruction in full on April 3rd Post by: HBK on April 03, 2008, 10:18:03 AM All Is Promotion + Promotion + Promotion For CHIENSE DEMOCRACY "!!!

Title: Re: BBC Radio One playing Appetite for Destruction in full on April 3rd Post by: cyllan on April 03, 2008, 10:45:42 AM Hopefully someone records it, there might be some good interviews! You know that you can listen online, don't you? Also, the BBC have an On Demand/Listen Again option where the programme is available to listen to for 7 days after the broadcast. If you follow the link in the first post, it'll take you to the BBC site. But it's nice to see the album getting some exposure again on national radio and with the potential for some old interviews, the thoughts of fellow musicians and fans etc it should be a good listen! I agree with you, Mike, it should be fun for those of us who already love the band, and hopefully will introduce some new people to the songs as well. I know that the show is primarily a look back at a classic album but I do hope that they are able to include an element of positive anticipation about the forthcoming release of CD as well. Title: Re: BBC Radio One playing Appetite for Destruction in full on April 3rd Post by: cyllan on April 03, 2008, 02:38:43 PM Anyone listening? The tension's building; it's ridiculous how excited I'm getting at the thought of Jungle blasting out of the nation's speakers. ;D
At last radio 1 playing some decent music. Live And Let Die, and now U2. : ok: Gave up the booze a while ago but will feel sorely tempted to crack open the vodka to relive those glorious days when Appetite begins... :peace: Title: Re: BBC Radio One playing Appetite for Destruction in full on April 3rd Post by: MR W,AXL ROSE on April 03, 2008, 02:46:16 PM its like 1987 all over again :hihi:
duff talkin now Title: Re: BBC Radio One playing Appetite for Destruction in full on April 3rd Post by: BlowUpYourVideo on April 03, 2008, 02:49:53 PM Nice Boys is playing. The hell?
Title: Re: BBC Radio One playing Appetite for Destruction in full on April 3rd Post by: cyllan on April 03, 2008, 02:51:14 PM Gotta be a first for Radio 1!
Title: Re: BBC Radio One playing Appetite for Destruction in full on April 3rd Post by: BlowUpYourVideo on April 03, 2008, 02:58:50 PM Wow, Axl sounds like Scott Wei....wait, it's Slither. :P
What's happening? :crying: EDIT: Here we go! The internet radio is slightly behind what's actually on the radio I think. Title: Re: BBC Radio One playing Appetite for Destruction in full on April 3rd Post by: cyllan on April 03, 2008, 04:10:01 PM Noo, it's over. Got to admit it sounded weird having Paradise City in the middle; should have played it again at the end! ;D
Oh well, tune the radio back to radio 4 and switch off. Then go and listen to something a little more current and, ahem, 'lively'. ;) Title: Re: BBC Radio One playing Appetite for Destruction in full on April 3rd Post by: Jonx on April 03, 2008, 07:33:26 PM I'll post this tomorrow, currently ripping the repeat!

Then go and listen to something a little more current and, ahem, 'lively'. ;) I feel the same way sometimes. But when you finish out AFD it really does end in a really cool way. I totally agree in a way though, after hearing PC last so many times, it's very strange when it's not! Title: Re: BBC Radio One playing Appetite for Destruction in full on April 3rd Post by: faldor on April 04, 2008, 09:06:13 AM The show is up online in full for your listening pleasure. I'm listening right now. Some pretty cool stuff. There's like an hour before they play AFD where they play "other music", some GNR, talk about how AFD changed the scope of the music world, interviews with Slash and Duff.

AFD is featured on the UK iTunes homepage today. |
