Title: information as to whether this is real. Appetite for Destruction remastered? Post by: mrlee on December 14, 2009, 04:18:18 PM I found a download claiming to be a real remaster of guns n roses, apparently it was a japanese pressing released in 2008?
Im listening to it and comparing. The sound quality is louder and clearer, however the bass guitar is alot bassier sounding then what i expect duffs bass tone to be. Any info?

Title: Re: information as to whether this is real. Appetite for Destruction remastered? Post by: mrlee on December 14, 2009, 05:03:35 PM what site is it on? i got it off a torrent.I read info on it up on Mygnr I also found a disk of one of the said copies on ebay going for like $320 and the bidding isnt up till January. Some sort of Japanese gold disk. Title: Re: information as to whether this is real. Appetite for Destruction remastered? Post by: TomFriend on December 14, 2009, 05:24:16 PM Yup, Japanese SHCD. Why there's never been a proper 'Special Edition' or 'Legacy' remaster of AFD is beyond me. The original CD pressing has that awful compressed sound that all late 80's CDs suffer from.
It's not like there's a shortage of bonus material that could be included, and it would certainly sell... Title: Re: information as to whether this is real. Appetite for Destruction remastered? Post by: 14 Yrs Of Silence on December 14, 2009, 05:32:46 PM Hopefully at some point we get a remastered AFD. I'd speculate that it won't happen at least until 2012 when it turns 25. Certainly right now they are promoting CD and the new band and don't want to send mixed messages by putting AFD out there.
Title: Re: information as to whether this is real. Appetite for Destruction remastered? Post by: uzisuicide2002 on December 14, 2009, 05:43:15 PM i had this 24kt gold AFD. Got it years ago in the store....they had all the albums remastered....you can't find them anymore...and mine is in 3 after moving :crying:
Title: Re: information as to whether this is real. Appetite for Destruction remastered? Post by: uzisuicide2002 on December 14, 2009, 05:45:27 PM OH and it didn't sound anything like a remaster...i was pissed buying it for 35$ at the time and it not being any better...
Title: Re: information as to whether this is real. Appetite for Destruction remastered? Post by: Limulus on December 14, 2009, 05:53:25 PM part of the reason why Appetite got so dominant and famous is for sounding like it is, no real point in a re-master. but sound qualitywise search for
the 1st japanese pressing (32XD-821/1987) or the MFSL release. both are superior in sound to the standard releases! Title: Re: information as to whether this is real. Appetite for Destruction remastered? Post by: Smoking Guns on December 14, 2009, 06:11:51 PM I bought the 24karat gold CD as well of AFD. Mobile Fidelity I think did it. I couldn't hear much of a difference either.
Title: Re: information as to whether this is real. Appetite for Destruction remastered? Post by: Limulus on December 14, 2009, 06:14:53 PM ^^thats the MFSL disc and there IS a big difference in sound quality. on a good hifi/good headphones you will realize it easily.

I am about to do a comparison! Its been a while since I have. I will report my findings ASAP. Title: Re: information as to whether this is real. Appetite for Destruction remastered? Post by: Smoking Guns on December 14, 2009, 06:40:31 PM Okay, very clear difference in the crispness of everthing. You can really hear more highs as well, clarity in the symbols..
Title: Re: information as to whether this is real. Appetite for Destruction remastered? Post by: mrlee on December 14, 2009, 06:53:22 PM yeah listening wise the Japanese one is definately clearer. Lead guitar parts cut through nicer, n you can hear Izzys backing rythyms much better. Drums are a bit sharper also!
Title: Re: information as to whether this is real. Appetite for Destruction remastered? Post by: Smoking Guns on December 14, 2009, 07:21:41 PM Just listened to the whole album pretty much. Fuck, it sounds much better than my other CD that I play a lot so that I don't damage this one. The guitars just SCREAM! Ha, what a badass album. Some much attitude in everyone's playing.
Title: Re: information as to whether this is real. Appetite for Destruction remastered? Post by: mrlee on December 15, 2009, 08:15:33 AM why dont you burn the CD again so you can listen to the better quality one more ?
