I thought it was for the cover art at first

Fookin badass

Live Era.

Although, judging from the way Axl pasted his old Catcher vocals over the top of the new version, it is possible the re-recorded vocals used in Live Era have been lifted from the so called re-recorded Appetite.

But didnt Axl say that it was nothing more than a DAT tape ? I dont think this 99 AFD really exists in an album form, it just rehearsals of the then new band captured on tape.

Well considering Rock Radio has an ex member of Nazerath as their breakfast presenter (and he's the guy I emailed), and giving that the station trolls  the net for any kind of rock news and name drops a rock band at any given opportunity, and given their obsession with GN'R - I though they might mention it.

Ahh gotcha
