Kiss Alive! is considered a holy grail of sorts of a live album, and it's got tons of work done to it. And the more Alive albums that came out, the more and more refined they got.
I just don't see why Axl was an asshole for what he did with that album. Everybody does it.
I have many live albums that have been tinkered with and many that haven't. I should've clarified, it's not the overdubs themselves I have a problem with, it's how poorly they were done and inserted that bothers me.
The vocal overdubs are ridiculous. The fact they called it Live Era meant they could pull from any number of great soundboards they supposedly went through. But you could make a better collection with the stuff in the trading community. And why make it so obvious that you've e.g. completely re-recorded Estranged.

Re: Guns N' Roses Vinyl LPs
I listened to Live Era the other day, and there's no doubt in my mind that the majority of the vocals are from the AFD redux 99 album.
SCOM from Live Era and the rerecorded segment from Big Daddy use the same exact vocals, they've just been mixed with live parts, the old band and a "92 era" ending. But it's the same vocals from the 99 re-recording. Nightrain, RQ and YCBM were also from 1999, it sounds. I'd also wager NR and Estranged were, too.
Maybe MSL wasn't bullshitting.
I'm amazed there's still debate or question over this. All the songs you mentioned were re-recorded vocals. He could have at least ran around the studio a bit to try and sound 'live'. I can only imagine at the time he was excited wanking over the possibilities of pro-tools and thought he was being clever and making shit better by editing all this stuff together.

Re: Guns N' Roses Vinyl LPs
Awesome thread, guys. A new independent record shop opened near me and i've gotten the vinyl bug. Am saving for a decent player and speakers but in the meantime i'm buying a few to get started. My first: Chinese. I'm gutted that this thread seems to be saying the the first few songs on each side will be unlistenable. How the fuck does that happen to one of the most anticipated records ever? Fuck.
