Title: "Video Plans" ???
Post by: SINSHINE on December 15, 2006, 12:29:30 PM
As per Axl: "Although many things went extremely well and were very exciting, there were, in our opinion, unnecessary and avoidable complications on our tour having to do with the tour routing, scheduling and album and video plans that wreaked havoc on all involved."

Do you think Axl is referring to music videos of released singles or a tour video (as has been previously rumored)? Personally, I hope for a tour video...although, as good as the performances seemed to have been on the '06 tours, something tells me that the next full blown tour (to coincide with the actually release of CD) will be even bigger and better and possibly better suited for a tour video.

How 'bout two tour videos, then!  ;D

Based on what he said, I would assume that at least one music video has already been filmed or is in production. (Not related to concert DVD stuff)

Oh man, I'd die to see the video!  :drool:

Maybe some live shots, and some shots of them like on tour, on the bus, etc.....

Or maybe an actualy video, god that would b great!

I'm pretty sure he's referring to music videos.

He was recently photographed with Antti Jokinen (Finnish director). Don't know if that really means anything. Could be a coincidence.

I was certainly under the impression that they meant music vids, as opposed to live DVD type vids.  He mentions that it fucked with their schedule, and I'm not sure why a live vid would do so.

I wouldn't mind seeing some live footage in the vid, though, to let people see the kinds of shows that are being put on, and to get them excited about another leg of the tour.

He also said it fucked with their CREW more than anyone else. The crew handles live stuff, no? But yes, I agree that it's about music videos WITH live concert footage and NOT vids for a live DVD.

Yeah, it did fuck with the crew.  Though I think mixing in video shoots w/ the tour would be more of a pain in the ass than shooting a live DVD...just my thoughts, though.  I could be (easily) wrong!

It's a fair guess (although unsupported) that a music video that would be played on music channels and such would most likely include live footage of the band, perhaps not exclusively but maybe an Estranged type video with live footage and then other stuff. This would include crew mebers like you said, although I'm unsure why it would effect the crew more than any other live show?

Antti Jokinen has directed videos for Shania Twain,Anastacia,Ben Moody etc. When they were seen together?

It would probably be like Paradise City, nothing too fancy.

And I'm fine with that.  8)

Anyways, I guess Axl is against fancy videos nowadays. He made a comment about that on Trunk's interview...

It would certainly make a good first single, though I'd like it to get a more traditional GNR treatment, as opposed to a mostly live footage music video.

im thinking music video...but most likely im thinking that their first single will be clips from the tour anyways..imo

Looking forward to seeing a new video, but I have to say it's been awhile since I've watched videos on TV.  I see some on the internet but its not the same.  Anyone have any idea what channels and shows would likely play a GN'R video?

I wouldn't be surprised if the first single is not better. axl added some stuff to the album that he considered important enough to do at the last minute with frank and ron, so maybe they came up with something that is an even better first single than better. 8)


Title: Re: "Video Plans" ???
Post by: Axl4Prez2004 on December 15, 2006, 10:35:00 PM
While yes, from what we've heard Better is the obvious favorite for first single and/or video...but if they went the route of tour de force Nov. Rain/Estranged/Don't Cry style videos, There Was a Time would be my bet for best video. 

Just knowing this album isn't just dropping without a proper presentation makes me feel awesome!   :beer:

PS  If they need a leading lady for any of these videos, that smoking hot Ukrainian model Axl had been out and about with would be perrrrrfect.  She's stunning.   :peace:

you know how those three videos kinda tied in together?  wasn't there suppose to be a 4th part to that so called trilogy???  There was a time would be a good conclusion : ok: :smoking:

Yeah, but in the Trunk interview from Spring '06, it didn't sound like videos like that were on the radar. ?Who knows what Axl has up his sleeve. ?All I know is there is light at the end of this tunnel. ? :peace: ?

PS: did I mention how hot that chick is? ?I describe her like this, "reminds me of Jessica Alba...only hotter!" ? :yes:

I think Axl in the Eddie Trunk video thinks the trilogy videos are not cheesy-people will want to see the new band, something with live clips would be great-

Post by: Axl4Prez2004 on December 17, 2006, 01:58:32 PM
To me there's nothing cheesey about the November Rain video.  To me it's a timeless classic.  But I do think they'll go with something a little less massive.  It will be great to see the new band in the spot-light!   8)
