has anyone noticed, if you listen with head phones on the amount of little things ore you hear that are really cool. but in speakers they arnt really easy to hear.
Is this production problems or bad sound set up?

Production problems. I've recently come across a remastered version of Appetite (fan made)... and you can hear all those things even through the speakers.

I think with headphones you can pick things out better because all of your attention and hearing is focused on the music. If your listening to it on your stereo you probably have other things going on and all of your attention isn't on the music.

As great as Appetite sounds...I would give anything to hear a remixed and remastered version today. Even the 'Sweet Child' snipit from Big Daddy sounds amazing. Would also love to hear the once rumored 'new' version of the album recorded with the new members.

? That sounded like shit and wasn't from Appetite. It was Axl singing in the late 1990s over live and/or studio versions of the song done by the original band. Then the pitch was increased to hide the fact that Axl sounded like garbage. |

are you kidding? Appetite sounds amazing even to this day. Let's not forget that this is a 20 year old record and it still stands up to anything released since! Things have come a long way in 20 years but a great record is still all about vibe, feel, emotion....20 years of pro tools doesn't add that to any recording. For my money Abbey Road is one of the best sounding albums ever made and it's almost 30 years old.
It's raw and still as electrifying as when I first heard it in 1987.

Abbey Road is almost 40 years old is what you meant to say I think.   EFISH, I'm interested in hearing the fan remastered AFD. Could you hook me up? Thanks.  |

it rules just the way it is... i don't think it should be messed with... any imperfections give it a edge. UI 1 and 2 could be stripped down to AFD productions quality though

Headphones and Speakers are two different listening experiences.  |

Exactly. That's why I think the new "Better" leak is mostly just a remix with the left channel cranked where you can hear all the crappy sound effects in the background even without headphones. |

Exactely...that's why I said 'snipit'...as in the last part of the song. I like it very much. I wouldn't trade it for the original, but I like to give it a listen every now and then. |

Appetite is TIMELESS! it just is! I was jaming it yesterday and it brought me right back to the first time I heard it in 87 that is the magic of that album it never dies at all! I listen to it frequently and it alwasy sounds rocking. I would like to see one thing though. When Chinese Democracy comes out hopefully the media won't always compare it to Appetite, it seems they won't let GNR move on past that, fans also. Enjoy what we get there will never be another Appetite but Illusions were just as good if not ''Better'' in spots agree?

The last part was new members w/ Axl at that present time singing |

Ok. I'm sure this has been brought up already. I will be amazed if it hasn't. In fact, I didn't want to start a new topic on it. So, since we're talking about AFD, I started to wonder something and I looked it up on Wikipedia. Release date: 8/21/87. That got me thinking...could CD be released around the time of the anniversary of AFD? So...I looked at a calender for this year.
August 21, 2007...Tuesday.
Please tell me I'm not crazy.
