i dont know about you guys and im not bashin axl cuz hes my idol but like...in every old interview ive seen of him and guns n roses he has always said he just wants to BURY Appetite for Destruction i quote from him his exacty words was "BURY APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION" and he hasnt just said that on one interview but on MANY occasions.. i dont know whats your response to that?

I guess Axl didnt want to be remembered for only appetite for destruction,
he always believed that afd was only the record that he made to gain an
audience. Then after he could show his "better" songs such as dont cry or
november rain. Its not to say that he hated the record, I think it was he was worried that afterwards, nobody would take him seriously...

yea i know but ur not getting my point... what im asking everyone if he wants to BURY appetite soo badly...why is it that in his current setlist majority of the songs are all from Appetite for the Destruction. i mean if he really wanted to buy AFD then he would at least play UYI songs in his setlist.. i guess he doesnt want to bury AFD anymore..cuz as of right now...its kinda like hes living off of AFD and not UYI or the future CD. Im not bashing im just saying.

He said he wanted to bury Appetite like fifteen years ago in refrence to relaesing You Your Illusion which was a really different album then Appetite and still an album of equal if not greater success so he already has burried Appetite

UYI was not as successful as AFD

Whenever someone does something new, they always hope the new thing buries the older work (or in other words, they hope the new thing is much better than previous things they've done).

Well UYI didn't have as much record sales as AFD, but thats only because AFD just appeals to almost anyone who liked rock back then, UYI was probably the best album, but it didn't reach every type of person who listened to rock.

as a whole no, but remember that most people probably didnt want to buy 2 albums. Infact, theres an interview where Duff or Axl said that friends can buy one of the albums, then rip the other so they only pay for one. You'll probably find that is a large reason. Also:

You could be mine
November rain
Civil war
Bad Obsession
Locomotive
Coma
Dead Horse
Estranged
Pretty tied up
Breakdown
Dont cry
Double Talkin Jive

something like that could have easily done as good as AFD, but then we'd loose other favourites. I think AFD got buried, but also appreciated.

RyanRose · « **Reply #11 on:** July 21, 2006, 10:42:30 AM »

Yeah i was refering to sales only.

The band wanted to do a box collection of 4 discs.

Geffern said no way "commecial suciude"

but you can release them on two seperate discs..........

If i had to choose between AFD and UYI i would choose UYI. Coma and Estranged are the best songs ever written and they're Axl's best vocals. The vocal for the last two minutes of Coma is the greatest ever.

I'd have Back off Bitch instead of Bad Obsession.

Yeah, you're missing a STACK of songs that I love from UYI 1 and 2. I think the way they released it was probably the best way.

Saikin · « **Reply #14 on:** July 22, 2006, 02:53:36 AM »

I agree with you fully on this one. He needs to let AFD fade away, maybe play 1 or 2 songs from it, and play some newer stuff. Right now, he's just letting AFD hold him up. This tour should be called the AFD Rehash European Tour

He did bury AFD. and now he is resurrecting it to garner an audience for his next album.

amacfantasy · « **Reply #17 on:** July 23, 2006, 03:04:54 AM »

there are alot of things that vary in this but on the topic of success UYI was more successful than AFD in terms of album sales for each album technically no UYI I and UYI II did not individually sell as much as AFD but there is more than just totall sales life(sales speed for one could count) Secondly for being a bands only 2nd real album and waiting 4 years then making it a double album on same day, which no one had ever attempted such a bold thing in the music industry and for that UYI was far more succcessful and was the zenith of their career and touring. Last time i checked AFD's world wide sales were 25million some say closer to 30. And UYI I and II were at roughly 15million each for a combined 30million or so. So its up to you to determine whats more successful
But i agree that people will sort of always remember GNR for AFD the fast pace in your face rock but for me its both. You know mabye Axl cant create the perfect album AKA(Chinese Democracy) because he already has its called AFD

Rocket Queen · « **Reply #18 on:** July 27, 2006, 11:12:50 AM »

Use Your Illusion is better than AFD. Appetite fitted that exact time period, when it was released. But The Illusion was a bigger era..saying. Axl and the band shows more of their talents on it..piano..better vocals etc. I love AFD, but technicaly UYI's better...In many ways

Mires · « **Reply #19 on:** July 28, 2006, 01:34:57 AM »

Basically what he means by bury is he didn't want to be known for one album and one style. He wanted people to see all sides of his creativity. If that meant UYI albums outselling AFD than that's what he wanted to do.
