Should Appetite For Destruction be remastered?

[Voodoochild]

Wow, this thread is 5 years old.


Anyways, I think the album could have a good remastered version indeed. There shouldn't be a problem for purists, as the original recording is widely available.

I was listening to the Pearl Jam "Best Of/Greatest Hits" cd and on that release they have remastered/remixed the tracks that were taken from their debut album "Ten" (released in 1991). The tracks sound a bit different, I guess fresh is a word that could be used to describe the sound.


So the question is, would you like to see the whole "Appetite For Destruction" album remastered/remixed or do you think it should stay the way it is?

I think a Dualdisc or something similar with both the original and a remixed version would be nice.

Or maybe we'll get a 20th anniversary edition in a few years.....

I would *LOVE* for them to do almost exactly what you're referring to. The version of Ten that they just released with a remastered version of the original album, then a "remixed" version of the album was very cool. You can hear tons of stuff in both mixes that you couldn't hear before.

AFD needs to be remastered.  Not remixed.  Just remastered for a higher quality sound which they've acheived in the last 20 years.  I'm sure Axl hasn't been interested in revisiting old albums when he's trying to promote CD, the current band and tour.  But perhaps 2012 would be a good time, to coincide with its 25th anniversary.

When I say "remix" I don't mean the traditional type of remix. I mean like Pearl Jam did with Ten where they stripped it of the unnecessary reverb and what not. But they released it as a double CD with the original album too for those who prefer it.

For sure. I would buy it.

i think they should do like a deluxe edition and throw in another disc with some demos and live stuff.
