What became to Axl Rose’s re-recorded version of “Appetite for Destruction” by Guns N’ Roses?
The singer acknowledged in the late 1990s that he had collaborated on a new version of the iconic 1987 album with different musicians, but it was never made available to the general public. It’s unlikely that it ever will be, since that Slash and Duff McKagan are back together in the group.

But it did exist.
Why Axl Rose Re-Recorded Appetite for Destruction
A double live album called Live Era ’87 – ’93, which included recordings from different shows throughout those years, was released by Guns N’ Roses in November of 1999. In a 1999 interview with Kurt Loder of MTV, Rose stated that the live record was intended to be a send-off to their followers from the previous band.

When the singer was asked if the new Guns N’ Roses lineup would continue to play the old material, he assured they would, and added that he re-recorded all of Appetite with the exception of two songs, which they replaced with “You Could Be Mine” and “Patience.”
“Well, we had to rehearse them anyway to be able to perform them live again, and there were a lot of recording techniques and certain subtle styles and drum fills and things like that that are kind of ’80s signatures that subtly could use a little sprucing up… a little less reverb and a little less double bass and things like that,” Rose elaborated.
