Interesting to imagine "Reckless Life" on Appetite. Wonder if it would've been a 13th track, or would've replaced "Anything Goes" or "You're Crazy"?
I also thought it was interesting that "Think About You" was Zutaut's favorite track. I've always loved it, but I know lots of GN'R fans who think it's mostly filler. Great read! Title: Re: Tom Zutaut article on Appetite's 30th birthday Post by: CheapJon on July 30, 2017, 06:42:46 AM I'd love if Reckless Life was on AFD. Seriously one of the most underrated and forgotten GN'R songs imo. TAY is also a great track and was among my first favorite songs of AFD.

Just because it's a filler doesn't mean it's not a killer ;) Title: Re: Tom Zutaut article on Appetite's 30th birthday Post by: Mike McKagan on July 30, 2017, 10:56:13 AM I've always loved it, but I know lots of GN'R fans who think it's mostly filler.

I don't think we'll ever get a reissue now. If it didn't happen at the 30 year anniversary, with the band touring and active, I can't see when it would happen. Perhaps at 50 years?

I love that he singled out Think About You--interesting that he likens it to a great Stones rocker. Not a connection I've ever made but it makes sense.
