Thanks

I'd buy 40 copies of it the 1st day  

[Booker Floyd]

It was recorded with Robin Finck, Paul Huge, Tommy Stinson, Josh Freese and Dizzy Reed - not exactly the new band (no Fortus, Brain, or Buckethead).

In case you didnt know, you can hear what Im assuming is from that re-recorded album with "Sweet Child O' Mine" from the Big Daddy credits.  It starts out with an old live performance and fades into the new version.

Its serviceable I suppose, but I dont care for it.

Me too,I am a fan of the old and new GN'R.I have heard their version of Welcome To The Jungle from the House Of Blues,so I would like to hear more.

[Izzy]

Like Booker said its not done by the current GNR line up

I would love to hear AFD redone by the current line up, see what they would bring to it, what they would change how everything would sound....AFD with three guitarists and 2 keyboard players would be quite something!

Like fighting? Who's better?

Hearing Robin Finck play Sweat Child Mine, i couldn`t honesly hear the difference between him and Slash. And seeing Buckethead play the parts towards the end of November Rain, he played it with ease, almost liked he was bored by it and found it too simple to the stuff he`s used to knocking out  

I dunno about you, but seeing Buckethead and Robin Finck do their guitar solo duet during RNR III was really something

Ooops, SWEET not SWEAT

Before u dismantle the old band before our eyes with claims the new band is sooooo much better let me remind u of one little thing

Slash wrote those parts - and any competant guitarist can easily reproduce them. Bhead probably did find them too simple too play - the hard part is writing that stuff.

Sure, Slash takes the credit for writing all that cool sounding stuff. I`m simply saying the new guys play it, not so much in their own style but in the same style as Slash did. It sounds identical  

I`m not all that clued up on who wrote what, but i do remeber hearing once that the intro to sweet child of mine was simply Izzy`s warm up tune, Slash apparently took it and used it for SCOW as he thought it sounded cool  

[Billo]

Hey....i really love the new band but when i hear Buckethead(whos playing i love) play some slash solos its just not the same......some parts are good but i think he plays to quick to show off cos hes bored and rushes.....Im rather looking forward to hearing what buckethead plays like on new guns songs..

[jet]

BHead is boring... I believe it's his image to seem cooler . He plays  so carelessly so sometimes it looks like he doesn't care what song to play and in wha band he plays.  or it looks like fans and music disrespect. At least I have this association  with him

i agree too... but i think that makes it a little bit funny that he plays Slashs work so carlessly like its easy....coz hes that damn good he can do that...

I still like reading theses quotes from November 8th, 1999 and here we are still waiting in 2004 with no new album...

Loder: When do you think we will actually see this album? Is it possible to say early next year?
Rose: We're hoping. Yes, definitely, everything seems to be going well. Robin's departure was abrupt, sudden, you know, not expected...

Loder: So we'll see you some time this new year, right? You will be around?
Rose: Yeah, we'll be around. I'm not working on all this to keep it buried. We plan on getting out there and doing it right. The new guys are a lot of fun, and like I say, we will be continuing to look for and or decide who the official new guitar player will be, but it's not that important to the band at this time, as that person's not really needed. There's not a whole lot for them to do at this time in regards to recording, as we've recorded [a] majority of material.

[TheGeneralShrugged]

Any word on this being released!  Was it delayed so get could rerecord parts with the current members? Would love to have a proper studio recording of bbf's take on night train!!!

[RnT]

PLEASE GOD NO.

[D-GenerationX]

Rose: Yeah, we'll be around. I'm not working on all this to keep it buried. We plan on getting out there and doing it right.

Hahaha.  Unintentional comedy for the win on this one, huh?

I never saw the point of this, so I'm glad it never got out there.  All this would buy you is grief.  People have heard that album literally hundreds of times and anything else would suffer in comparison after getting used to the original recordings.

[TheGeneralShrugged]

I'd like to hear it. I love Axl's vocals, but to be honest, 80s rock sounds a little dated to me.  Plus, some of the playing on that album is sloppy.  A little bit. But still, would be cool to hear a proper recording of these guys playing those songs.  I like the way they play it live.
