Of all the stuff that's out there, the material I really want to hear is the '99 AFD redux/CD sessions with Finck and Tobias on guitars. The versions of I.R.S. and TWAT we have from those sessions are so completely different from the finished versions, you get a real picture of how CD developed. And the AFD material is a fascinating curio - I'd love to hear studio versions of Finck's reinterpretations of the tracks.

So who does? Is it not, in fact, in circulation?

Seconded. I NEED to hear this.

Jeez, the hoarders have 'em? This should be MSL's new mission...

On Topic: John 5 is a great player but it would be like Robin in 01 all over again (image wise).
Nah, John 5 wears what suits the occasion. MM's image was all Gothery and make-up, so he wore makeup and goth togs. It suited him to carry on that image in his solo albums, 'cause it brought some of his MM fans along. But if you look at him on various YouTube videos, he tends to favour civvies.
TBH though, I don't give a toss about image - the music transcends that (FWIW, I love Robin's work on tour and in the studio, and they'll have a hell of a job finding someone who can replicate his feel and passion).
Having said that, I kinda liked the demented carnival that was GN'R in 2002 - Axl in his baggy sports jerseys, Buckethead in his... well... bucket, Tommy in his tartan suit, and Robin dressed up like someone who'd wandered in from a Tim Burton film set.

Nah, Bucket didn't join until very late in the day - like, mid-2000, IIRC - and the AFD re-recording was in 1999. There was an interview where Axl mentioned the "tension" between Robin and Buckethead, with the two jockeying for position as lead guitarist - which, we can assume, was basically due to Robin having been the lead guitarist on the AFD re-recordings and assuming that he was the lead guitarist, whereupon Buckethead rocks up late in the day and takes over most of the spectacular solo spots.

Wow, I never heard that the 99 Paradise City leaked. Like many here, I'd kill to hear the re-recorded Appetite.

Good luck, with the album now out I was worried that the leaks would dry up. Nice to see someone's getting the ball rolling again...
#1919 Re: Guns N' Roses » Brain To Tour w/ GNR In Summer? » 856 weeks ago
Wow, A Bucket/Bumble/Fortus guitar lineup would rock my world - I'd love to finally see Buckethead performing with GN'R. Don't wanna get my hopes up though...

Well, here's hoping it's Chester Bennington.
