If there's a 2007 re-release/remaster of AFD - what do you want to be on it?

[BurningHills]

AFD's 20th Anniversary is next year, and I think there's a good chance we'll see a remaster/re-release of it. So, for the sake of discussion and to get our minds off of CD for a while - what would you like to see on it?

- Complete album remastered
- Bonus Tracks: Shadow Of Your Love, Jumpin' Jack Flash, Heartbreak Hotel, Ain't Goin' Down, and any other unreleased/demo tracks that they feel like putting on there.
- Bonus DVD  of the '88 Ritz show.

Anything else?

It would be cool for a box-set or something like that. Comes with remastered AFD, DVD of their first show ever together, and DVD of the bands "best" show according to them. One that the old band can all agree on (if possible!) that was their best show to them.

i want the AFD re-recorded tracks from the late 90s.

All the AFD filmclips that were released would be a nice addition too, including the rare It's So Easy promo.

Good idea. Also, even if they didn't want to do that since Welcome To The Videos is still in print, just the "It's So Easy" video by itself would be a very cool addition as well.

That's the one. Doesn't need to be remastered. Doesn't need bonus tracks. They can put a sticker on the outside that says "20th Anniversary," but AFD is a perfect album, period. It doesn't need bells n' whistles.

[olschoolboro]

thank you, the album revolutionized the time and they shouldn't fuck with that.

[freedom78]

I don't think they should mess with the album.  If they were to include a second disc of bonus material, demos, outtakes, etc., that would be ok...but don't fuck with the greatest hard rock album of all time.

[jamest]

I think AFD is damn near perfect. If there is a 20th anniversary edition just throw on some bonus tracks. Crash Diet, Maybe the original You could be mine that was recorded at that time.

or....



Hopefully someone can back me up on this...I recall reading when Axl first got the reloaded GNR band going way back when. He had this line up rerecord all of AFD minus "I think about you" and replaced it with "You could be mine" and "Don't Cry". I remember reading this before 2002 because there were articles very specific to why he would do this. It was compared to Ozzy replacing certain musicians work on his old albums to cut them out of royalties. 
Let me walk a thin line here!!! I don't want to ever see the original AFD album out of print but, I would like to hear this REDUX version just to see if Axl "tweaked" anything and how it sounds different.

It was "You Could Be Mine" and "Patience" if I remember correctly.

Are you familiar with the rerecording of AFD?

Hmm maybe it can come with a side disc called Chinese Democracy... oh wait we were supposed to get our minds off CD!? ?Seriously, I think AFD shouldn't be touched.? Leave it alone, it is a different line up and shouldn't be messed with.?

But I would like to hear the re-recorded AFD (even though I heard it live in concert, heh)? maybe release it on their website for downloading.? No profit being made off of it just for pure entertainment.

[Bodhi]

I would like to hear the re-recorded versions from the late 90's...i really dug the end of Sweet Child from the credits at the end of Big Daddy....As far as old school songs, Shadow Of YOur love and Crash Diet would be cool

[jimb0]

I'd like to hear re-recorded appetite but.... carreer suicide for axl.

plus the band has gotten much better since them with the addition of bucket/bumble, and fortus

[Crowebar]

They should leave AFD alone.

We want the new material.

You don't fix something if it's not broken and AFD isn't broken.

yes, i'll have all of that, that'd be sweet 

[kaasupoltin]

i want the AFD re-recorded tracks from the late 90s. 

Me too. I like the old Appetite as it is, no reason to make a re-release. But it would be interesting to hear the new band playing it

[EFISH]

i want the AFD re-recorded tracks from the late 90s.

Me too, I just don't want them to actually release it. It'd be one of the stupidest things Axl can do, but rest assured- I know he won't do that. I hope we get to hear them one day though, one way or the other.

Exactally. I also think GNR are too busy with the tour and the new CD to wonder about that kind of stuff. Here's to hoping. 

I think a 20 year aniverery sticker as someone already mentioned will do.
