How would you feel if VH re-recorded CVH tunes?

[ALMOSTsaved]

Back on to the topic of re-recordings... I actually bought the Twisted Sister album "Still Hungry" which is essentially a re-recording of the "Stay Hungry" album with a few extra tunes and it definitely sounds more raw and basic. The guitars are more up front and ballsy and it sounds pretty good.

You can overproduce a record to death...

For instance......

For instance......

Perfect example.

If it ain't broke... don't fix it. nuff said...

[ELVIS]

Exactly...

Edwad needs to get over his paranoia of making new music...

[bueno bob]

I don't really want to see anything re-recorded personally. Not that I wouldn't buy it if they released it, but inevitably, the new versions never hold up to the old ones, regardless of what band attempts it.

Re-recording old, previously officially unreleased demos is one thing.

Why re-record stuff that has already been put out?

It's not like the current Van Halen band is gonna equal or better the original tracks, so why bother?

Don't like the re-record idea....wouldn't buy it.....it's lame. Leave that to the Def Leppard's of the world....who just re-recorded High and Dry.....never want to hear that.

I am ok with Def Leppard doing it for the reason they did. Their record company was trying to give them little to nothing to distribute their stuff digitally, so they refused to let them do it. Good for them.

I understand why they did it, and don't blame them....I just don't want to hear it. There's no way it would sound the same and if it does it's only cuz it's massively overproduced.

I would call them Van KI$$

I think this is a terrible idea if the intent is to outdo what they did in the classic years, and as others have said, completely pointless. I can understand re-mixing and playing around with existing material to get a better sound (like Let It Be Naked) but to actually go in the studio and lay down any of the classic tracks again as if you're making a new record...please no.

[fourthcoming]

Couldn't agree more Lou.....and Let It be nake is light years better than the original.

Yeah, Phil Spector should have been shot for what he did to that album.

[minkahed]

No, I like heavy music...

Kinda like you, right EP ?
