I think to redo Andy's work stinks, this album is more trouble than it's worth. It's being released on this date then it isn't why can't they just finish it, release it and be done with it then we can forget about it.

Would they just rerecord his stuff, or rewrite it completely so they don't have to pay him *anything*?
Do I think they'd at least rerecord it? Sure, if they're angry enough at him, that way they can minimize his presence on the album. It also wouldn't surprise me if they wiped his efforts out completely, so nobody who buys the album is reminded that Andy was ever involved.
But I think it would be a huge mistake, gaining the anger of even more of their fans and losing even more sales than they've lost already through the delay, the loss of Andy, and the closing of the message board. It would also make them look pretty petty and vindictive; no matter what, Andy was a part of the group when the songs were done and his work deserves to be heard, especially since it was reported to be excellent.
I *hope* the replacement guitarist (Dom?) is only going into the studio to work on tracks that Andy wasn't around to work on. Nick and John's comments that they aren't ruling out ever working with Andy again makes it *sound* like they're not so angry that they'd obliterate him from the tracks. Guess we'll see...

Not releasing or using Andy's work on the album could very well have to do with legal reasons on both sides of the table. Not just a case of anger and spite. A band breaking up can be alot like a divorce - it can get very sticky. For all we know, Andy may not want the material used. Who knows....

I really hope they do not re-record all of Andy's work. That would be awful. I have also read that this is some of the best recorded material Andy did with Duran Duran guitar wise. Heck, even with Notorious at least we got 4 tracks with Andy and there are 3 guitarists on that album!
Didn't Nick also say in an interview that there are indie, guitar sounding tracks on the album that include Andy? I really want to hear the Andy stuff!

Sounds like they probally are doing just that. If it's talking so long, they might have had to look over the legal parts of it and buy Andys work out. Shame, I'd love to hear it.

This album is getting so fractious and disjointed, I'm beginning to wonder what the heck it's going to sound like when it comes out!! Forget Loch Ness (although that's pretty funny) - this thing is Frankenstein's Monster!

I haven't heard it yet, but did it sound like they are going to re-record all of Andy's work? That would suck. I was actually holding on to some hope that there would be a piece (even a crumb) of Andy on the new album.

I never heard him say "re-record," and nothing he said implied that, imo. He simply commented that it was tough because they had to go back into the studio with a brand new guitarist after Andy left.
