Appetite For Democracy Blu-ray/DVD - live in Las Vegas Nov 21 2012

[rebelhipi]

Seen the show some times now.

It's clearly been messed with - both music and vocals, backing and lead. Are you kidding me? It leaves me a bit cold. Like "Live Era" (the record), you feel cheated. Especially when you know how powerful this band has been and is in all three incarnations (2002, 2006-2007, 2009-2014). They can rip it up live. There's no question. I've seen the new Guns four times and they are like few other rock bands out there.

Compare this AFD Vegas show to, say, the RAR 2006 or the Lisboa 2006 (RIR proxy) shows - the latter riddled with sound issues and even mistakes - it's really an unfair comparison. Because the AFD Vegas show is all over the place. Doesn't sound like one, genuine performance. It's a copy/paste job. Like a puzzle.


The Seeker still has a lotta power. Nice addition. There are some truly great moments, individually, throughout the show but you just don't get that reality and/or realness feel. I guess maybe it's like comparing real movie sets to CGI sets (like the last Star Wars trilogy). You feel cheated.  Hm. I'm sure it works for some people and that's great, just not for me. To each his own.

 

I agree. It does sound monkeyed with. And it sounds like there is a backing track for the high harmony. Am I hearing things? Personally, I really hate backing tracks (like on the intro for Better) especially when there are qualified singers on stage that can handle the job. I dunno, maybe I'm hearing things, and I don't have the dvd yet either. Although...it's still pretty sick. 

They really use those backing tracks live not only on the dvd. Chris Pittman  is the guy in charge i think. Same thing with shacklers and scraped. For example.

Does anyone know if this is genuine? Anyone know anything about it at all?

I was hoping a deluxe edition would be released here in the States; would have been cool to get the show on cd as well.

[MR.BROWNSTONE]

Just wondering anyone knows how many copies it has sold so far? It's nice to see it sold well this Summer. I'm sure it well sell ok for a while.

Looks like the French Amazon link lists Polydor as the company releasing it. Which is the Universal Music company there I think.

I guess this is a press release?


Guns 'n' Roses To Release 3D Concert
Appetite For Democracy 3D: Live At The Hard Rock Casino Filmed In Las Vegas.

In November 2012, with a team of 3D cameras rolling, the legendary, multi-platinum selling rock band Guns N? Roses took the desert by storm, performing a blistering set at The Joint in the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas. Clocking in at just under three hours, the band?s explosive set includes all of their biggest hits and classic GN?R staples.

Universal Music Catalogue will release the live Guns N? Roses concert film Appetite For Democracy 3D: Live at the Hard Rock Casino - Las Vegas, on November 3, 2014, which will be available on Blu-ray?, featuring the complete concert film in both 3D and 2D plus an interactive 3D photo gallery, standard DVD featuring the 2D version of the film, and both Deluxe 2CD+Blu-ray and Deluxe 2CD+DVD sets. Both the Blu-ray and DVD releases are mixed in 5.1 Surround Sound and feature bonus interviews with the band. The GN?R Appetite For Democracy Official App (iOS/Android), which can be downloaded at Fantracks.com, brings the concert experience to a new level by connecting GN?R directly with their fans, allowing fans to connect with each other via social media, buy exclusive merchandise, check tour/cinema dates for the movie, preview digital tracks of the film; and purchase or stream via VOD the digital long form concert.

Appetite For Democracy 3D is the first official Guns N? Roses live concert film since 1992?s Use Your Illusion concert video and features brand new live performances of classic GN?R tracks including ?Welcome To The Jungle,? ?Sweet Child O? Mine,? ?Mr. Brownstone,? ?Paradise City,? ?Nightrain,? ?It?s So Easy? and ?Rocket Queen,? from their pivotal, 1987 No. 1 debut album Appetite For Destruction; ?Patience? and ?Used To Love Her? from 1988?s No. 2 charting album Lies; ?November Rain,? ?Don?t Cry,? ?Civil War? and ?Estranged? from their 1991 releases Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II, the latter shooting to No. 1 on The Billboard 200; and current favorites off their 2008 No. 3 album Chinese Democracy including ?Better,? ?Catcher In The Rye,? ?This I Love,? ?Street of Dreams? and the album?s title track. Appetite For Democracy 3D also features the band?s signature versions of Paul McCartney?s ?Live and Let Die? and Bob Dylan?s ?Knockin? On Heaven?s Door;? powerful renditions of The Who?s ?The Seeker? and Pink Floyd?s ?Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2;? plus performances of Bumblefoot?s ?Objectify? featuring Guns N? Roses guitarist Ron ?Bumblefoot? Thal on vocals and Tommy Stinson?s ?Motivation? with Stinson taking over the mic.

Released in the U.S. on July 1st by Universal Music Enterprises (UMe), Appetite For Democracy 3D: Live at the Hard Rock Casino - Las Vegas debuted at No. 1 on Billboard?s Music DVD chart where it stayed for the first two weeks. Since its release, it has remained in the Top 5 for a total of eight weeks straight and continues to stay in the Top 10.

"The U.S. DVD and Blu-Ray? release has exceeded our sales expectations,? says the film?s producer Barry Summers, Rock Fuel Media. ?We?re very proud to release this internationally for GN?R fans to enjoy for many years to come,? continues Summers.

In 1987 Guns N? Roses burst onto the hard rock scene and, with their punk rock ethics and an uncompromising, explosive sound, turned a scene filled with synth-pop and hair-metal on its end, propelling the band to the top of the charts. Filling stadiums and arenas across the globe, much like The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Sex Pistols, Guns N? Roses wrote their own chapter in rock and roll history and continue to make their own rules.

Now, celebrated worldwide as one of the most important rock acts in music history, Guns N? Roses are Axl Rose, DJ Ashba (guitar), Dizzy Reed (keyboards), Tommy Stinson (bass), Richard Fortus (guitar), Ron ?Bumblefoot? Thal (guitar), Chris Pitman (keyboards) and Frank Ferrer (drums). Guns N? Roses continue on their sold-out global arena tour, with shows in the US, Europe, visits to Latin America and multiple festivals, having played to millions of fans around the globe.

Would it be easier if you stood up?


Wonder why they have a "box" with movie, audio and t-shirt....

Ehhh

if i stood up then my leg would hurt a lot and i'd need to get one of those 500 dollar pimp canes that Axl uses 

[faldor]

I wonder if the Blu-Ray/CD version will be available at Best Buy. I bought the Blu Ray there, and a Blu-Ray player but haven't had a chance to open either to this point. Wouldn't mind making an exchange and paying the extra cash for the CD's. I need a vacation filled with free time.

Do you know if you can just buy the CD in the U.S?
I've got the Blu-Ray. Kind of blows that if the only way to get the CD would be to double dip.

[jarmo]

I haven't seen the audio cds only listed anywhere....
Only the combos with the video.

[nick6sic6]

Good thing some of us here in Europe didn't get the blu ray.Looks like eventually the dvd+2cd will come out and region 2 as well.

/jarmo

So basically we have to buy the blue ray again if we want the CD?

I can live with that.  I apologize if this was asked, but this definitely wont be available to buy on Itunes right?

[nick6sic6]

Any chance of like a 2LP release in a cool boxed set,like most records are being released nowdays ?
Probably not.
