Looks like something will be released in February!

Nytz

Probably something unofficial....




/jarmo

yeah, thats was my first thought to. But are they alowed to release live shows from GNR without the bands agreement?

yeah its called a bootleg.

well, cant see alot of other bootleg for sale on play.com
And i thought, bootlegs was not for sale. Trading only!

Hmmmm, tried emailing them for some more info? Surely they must know who is releasing it, if its some third rate company then we know it means nothing. If its universal then it could prove to be interesting!

Jonx

Yes the fans trade them, but there are bootleg companies out there that sell them (Bondage etc)

Edit:

Its being released by  CLASSIC ROCK LEGENDS
   
      
   
   

well  i think a new official dvd is pretty unrealistic, but maybe a new boot?

HOB?  ;D

Its the VMA Rehearsals that everyone wants. :hihi:

dude , I was just about to bring that up! Thats the show I wanna see , much much much more then the VMA rehearsals.

The show I actually want to see on DVD is any concert at the L.A Forum or Madison Square Garden in 1991... ;D

well i don`t want to turn this into "which gnr concert ? want to be released" but i definitely want to see one of the three vegas shows :beer: or any other proshot........

Release Date : 21/11/2005 november no february so...Chinese Democracy Starts Now  :hihi:

It's not gonna be anything spectacular.

Check it out here are other DVD's released by "Classic Rock Legends":

Black Sabbath - Inside - 1970 To 1992 (DVD): An assessment of Black Sabbath and the question who was the best lead singer? Includes interviews with Tony Iommi and Neil Murray.

The Beatles - Music In Review (Two Discs And Book) (DVD): Draws on rare and archived footage to offer a critical review of the music of The Beatles. Tracklist includes: 'Love Me Do', 'From Me To You', 'She Loves You', 'A Hard Days Night', 'I Saw Her Standing There', 'I Feel Fine', 'She's A Woman' and more.

AC/DC - Music In Review - The Bon Scott Years (DVD)

It's just gonna be a behind the music type of thing. Nothing to get excited over.

"Customers who bought Guns 'N' Roses: Broadcasting Live also bought

Axl Rose The Prettiest Star"

Wow that's quick. ::)

I assume this is another nasty trick. >:(

well i doubt it will feature any of the new 2000 onwards concerts so maybe a high profile one from the early years like ritz or one of the other TV broadcasts i hope its something cool but these things tend to be a let down.  :smoking:

Check http://www.classicrockproductionsonline.com/products.asp?cat=187 for some more info about their "Broadcasting Live" series. So it's definately not official but it still could be cool. Let's just hope it's not another copy of the Tokyo Dome show.

But the description says it is a "Broadcasting Live" title - all the other "Broadcasting Live" titles have live performances.

I'm thinking maybe Paris 1992?

Please be Argentina 93

the S n D business, I'd say. :-\

Sp1at has some news regarding the new dvd and new comments made by mercuriadis. The advice made is simple: avoid buying it!.

Good Call Man Here is the Article for the lazy Bastards

Sanctuary Comment on New GN'R DVD
26 October 2005, 8:50 AM
 

Sanctuary have told Splat that the new Guns N'Roses DVD, 'Guns 'n' Roses - Broadcasting Live', is not an official product. Merck Mercuriadis told us, "We know nothing about it".
Speaking further about the DVD, Merck also told us, "If you have noticed Robert Fripp?s comments recently about Classic Rock they are apparently notorious for ripping off the fans and the artists."

This following 'article' was the 'consumer alert' released by Robert Fripp, King Crimson and Sid Smith (official biographer) back in April 2005

A statement from Robert Fripp and DGM

The Inside The Music series is a "pot of gold" for Bob Carruthers & classic rock productions. It addresses a valuable & useful area of popular music studies; but in a cheap, nasty & cynical fashion that exploits everyone & scams the artists, the music & the fans.

Bob Carruthers is a likeable, personable & slippery, evasive character who has upset nearly everyone whose music he has, in some way, presented.

If transparency & accountability are two features of the ethical company, then Classic Rock Productions must be considered ethically challenged in extremis. Given my 38 years of hard experience as a professional within the music industry, Bob Carruthers' company would be better named Classic Crock Productions.

Robert Fripp, World HQ, April 22nd 2005.

Inside King Crimson

In recent days I?ve received a number of enquiries from KC fans regarding a DVD entitled Inside King Crimson 1972 ? 1975 and a CD, Inside King Crimson 1975-1979, Classic Rock Productions.

Potential purchasers should understand that neither item has been approved nor licensed by Robert Fripp, the copyright holder of the music.

As with many other products in this series, fans hoping to see full performances will be disappointed. In order to get around the copyright act, the DVD is marketed as a ?critical review?. In this context, snippets of footage under 20 seconds are deemed legal.

The majority of the content is made up of critical opinions by journalists, musicians, etc. On the Inside King Crimson DVD there are 10 second bursts of music.

The two bonus tracks are recycled from the John Wetton Ultimate Anthology, another product advertised by Classic Rock Direct. John did not give approval of the original release or its use on either of these King Crimson items. John, in common with many other artists featured in this series, has never received any royalties.

Elsewhere, other bands and musicians are becoming increasingly annoyed at the kind of sharp practice that recycles small clips, inferior sound quality and scripts and commentary riddled with inaccuracies.

Caravan are asking their fans to boycott this kind of material.

Their manager, Mark Powell, writes ?You may be aware of releases by CLASSIC ROCK PRODUCTIONS on both DVD and CD. The material is in breach of contract or simply illegal. The band have not received royalties. The disputed titles are, 'WITH STRINGS ATTACHED' and 'NOWHERE TO HIDE'. Despite continual objections, Classic Rock Productions continue to exploit these recordings. These recordings have now been passed to a third party, who licensed them in good faith. These releases are now subject to dispute.?

Consequently, DGM is actively taking steps regarding both Inside King Crimson release and urges KC fans NOT to purchase them. Whilst DGM understands that there is a demand for rarely seen and archive footage of the band, Inside King Crimson is not that product.

For several months DGM has been undertaking research on producing a compilation of archive video footage of the band in all its incarnations. It is likely that the resulting DVD will include all the tracks mentioned on the Inside King Crimson DVD (minus constant interruptions and critical asides) in addition to many more performances, several of them seen for the first time. A full press release itemising tracks and performances will be announced once licensing and clearance negotiations have been concluded. In the meantime, we ask fans to be patient and to avoid the Classic Rock Productions.

Sid Smith Author of In The Court of King Crimson

A glance at some comments from the proud owners of Classic Rock Productions over at Amazon and elsewhere on the internet gives some clue as to what King Crimson fans can expect if the Inside King Crimson becomes available.

?This is quite simply a con! . . . I was looking forward to seeing the "rare footage of Atom Heart Mother" - it lasts 10-15 seconds!. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!?

?This set of DVD's must be a con, pure and simple. Terrible reviews dumbed down with no new material or insights. . .These discs are advertised as suitable for college students and study groups, I don't get the joke! Best not to buy this drivel, it only encourages more of the same.?

?Oh dear...proclaiming to be the 'definitive critical review', this is nothing more than a DVD of talking heads, most of whom love Pink Floyd just like you or I. The trouble is, you and I probably could have made some more interesting comments!?

Inside Supertramp

?There were little snippets of live performances by Supertramp but this was overshadowed by a running commentary by the reviewers. It lasted just 63 minutes.?

It is a commentary documentary and nothing more. . . The total time that you actually see and hear Supertramp is negligible. You?re lucky to see about 12 minutes of fragments from past performances (out of 63 minutes running time). (excerpted from prog-nose review)

Inside Nirvana

?Very poor dvd . . . no full live videos . . .just 5 seconds clip from MTV Live and Loud, MTV Unplugged, and Saturday night live.?

Inside Deep Purple

?The criticism is along the lines of "Machine Head is good, Who Do We Think We Are isn't", and the revelation that Smoke On The Water is a "classic riff". Nothing the reviewers' commentary will be new to Purple fans, and indeed some is inaccurate or at least incomplete.?

Uriah Heep

But the quality of performances and sound/video is quite another matter. . .They were omitted from previous DVD releases due to poor quality of sound/video or due to poor performance or because of poor sound mix (check the version of Lady in Black present), and now we get them on "Ultimate Anthology"!
 
 

Thanks for the info guys, will stay away from this one as well.

any ideas?? another unofficial thing?

Maybe a making of Chinese Democracy? who knows?

yes, another unofficial thing

They do 'Brodcasting Live' DVD's on several rock/pop artists. I received a Bruce Springstein one for a birthday and it was awful. Its basically a collection of public domain pictures, video clips and commentaries. There was pretty much no music on it at all.

I suspect the GNR one will be like this too. All the stuff they can legally put on there without having to pay much for it. Definitely a low-rent cash in.

Old News.

Hi! I'm new here, great site!
Does anybody here know anything about Guns n Roses Broadcasting live.
It's for sale here:
http://www.play.com/play247.asp?page=search&searchtype=rmtitle&pa=srmr&searchstring=guns+n+roses

Yeh I think you meant the Appetite for Destruction Greatest Ever Albums thing...

Not too sure what it is but it looks pretty cool. Probably unofficial though... :peace:

I was looking through the net today and I found this DVD does anyone have any ideas about this product. Could this be the new DVD we've been hearing so much about?

http://www.play.com/Music/MusicDVD/4-/745223/Guns_N_Roses_Broadcasting_Live/Product.html

No.

Omg, this thread is older than my dog! :'(
