Destruction is coming - Appetite For Destruction deluxe editions out June 29th

[allwaystired]

The talk of sound quality leaves me behind!

You know when I think Appetite sounded best to me? On the copied cassette I had, blasting from my tiny tape player in my room when I was 12.

The innocence of youth and the excitement of new rock and roll is pretty exciting - I don't like getting older!

That's how I first heard the album too. I was 10 and thought the band had more than one singer because of all the different voices

Also remember when I finally listened to AFD with headphones and how it blew me away to notice the stereo mix with Slash always on right and Izzy´s awesome guitar work (Rocket Queen!) on the left speaker.

Guns N' Roses' 'Appetite for Destruction' Returns to Top 10 on Billboard 200 Chart After Deluxe Reissue

7/8/2018 by Keith Caulfield

The former No. 1 album is back in the top 10 after more than 29 years.

Guns N’ Roses’ classic 1987 debut album, Appetite for Destruction, returns to the top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart after more than 29 years. The former No. 1 re-enters the tally (dated July 14) at No. 10, following its deluxe remastered reissue on June 29.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Units are comprised of traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). As of this week, each unit equals one traditional album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from one album (a TEA unit), or 1,250 paid subscription on-demand audio song streams from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported on-demand audio song streams from an album (an SEA unit). (The weighting of an SEA unit was updated with the July 14-dated charts.)

The new July 14-dated chart -- where Appetite jumps back on at No. 10 -- will be posted in full on Billboard's websites on Tuesday, July 10.

For tracking and charting purposes, all versions of Appetite for Destruction are combined, and in the week ending July 5, the album earned 33,000 units (up 1,541 percent).

The album was reissued in a variety of formats: the standard 12-track remastered album, a new deluxe edition with 18 bonus tracks, a double vinyl LP set, a 73-track super deluxe set and a lavish limited edition Locked N’ Loaded box set with four CDs, a blu-ray disc, seven vinyl LPs and seven 7” vinyl singles (among other goodies).

One of the set’s new bonus tunes, a previously unreleased version of the archival track “Shadow of Your Love,” was promoted to radio stations and has peaked at No. 5 on the Mainstream Rock Songs airplay chart.

Appetite for Destruction debuted on the Billboard 200 dated Aug. 29, 1987 at No. 182 and eventually reached No. 1 nearly a year later, on the Aug. 6, 1988-dated list. The set spent five nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 and finished 1988 as the No. 6 biggest album on the Billboard 200.

Appetite for Destruction was last in the top 10 a little more than 29 years ago, when it placed at No. 8 on the April 15, 1989-dated tally.

What ever happened to the Don't Cry demo recorded in 1986? Will it resurface in an Illussion box-set or is it just gone forever?

I guess it's included on the hidden cassette with the demos from 1985? Or was that a joke?

[Nytunz]

i got that hidden tape.. i Guess everyone who bought L&L got it?

havent been listening to it yet. Gotta get a hold on a casetteplayer first.

Does anyone in South America ordered the Locked n Loaded box set?  I pre-ordered mine (I live in Peru) in June and they didn't ship it yet.  I contacted GunsNRoses@umgstores.com like 4 times and I keep getting the same stupid answer: "We are currently working on fulfilling your order as soon as possible"...

I'm thinking to ask for a refund 

[BluesGNR]

I'm breaking up some items from the box set and listing the items I'm not keeping on eBay.  If you're interested in anything, let me know you're from HTGTH and I'll work with you on pricing.  Thanks

Last week, my box finally arrived, it's a HUGE little monster I'm glad I didn't cancel the order.  After taxes and shipping costs it's super expensive but I can't say I'm happy!

[Thorned Rose]

I got mine in on release. I went with the 2 disc SE.

Couldn't afford anything else sadly.

[jarmo]

Got mine in the mail today. It's heavy!

Nice package though.

Very nice! Hope we get an illusion box in 3.

Eventhough I don't really like the design of the Locked N' Loaded box - and I think it's totally overpriced - I couldn't help myself and ordered the box this morning. As a GN'R collector I couldn't resist anymore and I guess, if I want to get rid of it in the future, I could sell it without losing too much money.

Did we find out who’s playing drums on Shadow?

It’s clearly not Steven. The sound on that song is completely different to the rest of the tracks. Sounds like Franks style to me.

I’d like to know if this an old song brought up to date by the current band. It’s cool.

[Chandler]

I believe I read in a Slash interview he said it was an original 1986 recording. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

[Walapino]

I got the deluxe version, its pretty neat! I loved the picture book, ill listen to all 4 cds soon!
