Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Chrome Dreams has set an October 30 release date for the "Guns N' Roses - 2 Classic Albums Under Review: Use Your Illusion I And II" DVD.  According to a press release, "This DVD is a documentary film about the 'Use Your Illusion' double set ? the people who made them, the process of making of them, the tour that surrounded them and, most crucially, the awesome music they contained. It features rare footage of the band from that time, including exclusive backstage film rarely seen before; lengthy interviews from musicians and vocalists who were there working on the records and the tour; comment from friends of the group and scenesters from the L.A. rock underground; insight and critique from biographers, journalists and DJs who championed GUNS N' ROSES throughout their career, and many other notable contributors. Also includes seldom seen photographs, location shots, news footage and much more besides. Released simultaneously in September 1990, the brace of albums making up the 'Use Your Illusion' double set made history before most fans had heard a note ? never before (and never since) had any band or artist occupied the billboard chart positions one and two in the same week."

Bonus Materials:

* GUNS N' ROSES Exclusive Gaming Feature
* "The Pre-Guns Collectives" ? Rare Footage and Insider Comment of and about the bands that predated GUNS N' ROSES
* Full Contributor Biographies
* Beyond DVD section

GNR game?!
you use guns to shoot at roses :D

they could`ve got  that fact straight at least :hihi:

Yeah, that made me laugh, for a DVD about those albums...lol ;D

That's all you need to know!

 :nervous:

I can't say I've been impressed with some of their previous releases.

How bad are they? I just googled them and it looks like they do a lot of "unauthorized" shows.

will it be on sale in the u.s.a ?
or just another europe thing.i hear about all these books an stuff but never in the u.s.a ?

maybe this stuff will be interesting...

but i'm not gonna buy it  ;D

For a minute, I was thinking this was going to be part of of the 'Classic Albums' series which generally gets good reviews, but this is another series altogether.

It really, really, REALLY makes u wonder how these people expect to sell a product, when the info they are giving in the promo is wrong. Oh yea, cant wait to get that!?!? lol Assholes.....

i hate these releases that show like the pizzeria deliveryman in 1986 who delivered a large pie to GNR in their apartment, they ask him questions with like some crappy no-name 80s hair metal music playing in the background.

Why do people even release this garbage?? why not invest that money in a good index fund, like the SnP500 (SPY)........

Doesn't the Classic Albums series actually have band members and producers talking about the albums in question?

I know some of them have aired on TV so they just seem more professional than this....

mybae the game involves building as many new bands as possible out of the original line-up. 

I'm guessing that or a sim city type game where you see how fast you can unravel the most successful rock band in history while you work against a timer.    :rofl:

Yeah, they do. I've seen the Queen one for A Night At The opera, and Elton John's for Yellow brick road. Both contain interviews and special performances with the original artists. So does the one with Def Leppard.

The classic albums series is controlled by Vh1 Classic, and made by Eagle Rock Entertainment.


I suspect this latest release will be no better than the Sex N' Drugs N' Rock N' Roll DVD that Chrome Dreams made. I think we can all agree that was a crappy documentary.

I've never bought or really seen any of the unauthorized under review series. Instead I'd be all for the release of the UYI live documentary that was filmed, but as most of us suspect....that'll probably never happen.

Heres Queen: Under Review 1973-1980. there seems to be lots of people I've never heard of  :no:  :hihi:

and in part two, 2 and a half minutes in they have some shitty guitarist trying to play a song
 :rofl:

Hehe, that's quite good.

And yeah, Classic Albums is meant to be quite good.  The one on The Number of the Beast is pretty good.

Yes, I have those DVDs for Steely Dan's 'Aja' and Nirvana's 'Nevermind'...they score great informative interviews.

So yeah it says UYI came out in September of 1990 and the cover has Steven on it. Very impressive!  : ok:

Yeah, very.

Must be well-researched.  ::)

Oh GAWD.... another unofficial DVD....

i can just smell it...

"Guns N Roses is no more... it's all Axl's fault. Axl fired everyone and pressured everyone to quit. Axl caused riots and and was primadonna.

Axl was responsible for 9/11 and the War on Terror. Axl was also responsible for the explosion of the Discovery Space Shutle and Chinese Democracy will never come out."

I wish these releases were illegal... people actually buy them... and believe what they say. They are so stupid.

I wish they did "AFD: Classic Albums". I own Metallica, Nirvana and Queen. They are great documentaries.

Maybe it will also have exclusive info about the making of Chinese Democracy and the truth about Buckethead's departure and the 2002 tour.  I mean seriously ... does the band even get money for this shit?

it willl prolly be narrated by some ex-hookers and junkies, that were lucky enuff to talk about a band that were in their town when they were around, rather than blowing and get fucked,for 5 dollars.

will be like "i wuz there maaan, izzy just passed by me and i knew 14 years would be on the album with izzy's vocals but later he would quit the band.."
or "i walked on the sidewalk that axl spit 3 days ago and it was obvious that those albums would be huge and hit bb top 200 at 1 and 2, i also knew november rain would be a piano ballad made by axl...."

if you're not a die-hard collector don't ever buy this crap, if you're a die hard collector just dload the fuckin dvd artwork and put it on your dvd shelf, even the empty dvd case would have more accurate info about gnr.

I?m not sure but I think they did other crappy DVDs before like that one of "sex,drugs and Rock&Roll" so you can have an idea...

Oh man, I've seen the "Sex Drugs and Rock N Roll" and another one about Axl (that I can't remember the name) and they were awful.

Prettiest Star?

Yeah, that was it. Horrible.

Awesome ;D

That's all I needed to read.  Avoid it like the plague.  They are the same company behind the Sex N' Drugs N' Rock N' Roll atrocity.  And I see they are already reiterating their ignorance and lack of GN'R knowledge with the "September 1990" release dates.  Dumbasses couldn't even get the band members' names right in their first mockumentary.  Who the hell is Izzy STRADIN???

Anyone who gives these idiots their money deserves to have their nuts twisted.

CHROME DREAMS=GARBAGE
Worst waste of money ever....

I loved how they used background music from other bands cause they couldn't use gnr's..  how lame.

keep your money to buy the reckless road book dudes

I saw it being advertised on national TV today and sure I was excited about this. If this has rare footage including those of the UYI making on the studio, which I have never seen, I can?t wait to have it being played on my DVD player! Sounds cool to me! Why are some of you not that excited about it? Did I miss something?  ???

Read the thread?

Why the illusions..Great albums..But why now ? 20 years since AFD..CD on the rise..Why ?:P

Well to be honest (as I always try to be) I didn?t. I was in a cybercaf? and had 2 mins left lol so...  :hihi: But now I did, carefully. So... above all that (non-related band people being interviewed, dreadful previous documentaries and false information- the UYI release date) which are already  good reasons enough to dispise this DVD lol... it still does have rare footage of the band in those years doesn?t it? From the studio and all that... I?d really liked to see it... wouldnt you too?

This seems like it'll be as bad as "Guns N' Roses: Sex, Drugs and Rock N' Roll."

At least I'm pretty sure that's what that bullshit DVD was called.

How bad was it? I have never seen it.

It's pretty rough, best I can remember is only one or two actual interviews the GN'R members and it's from the mid-eighties so it's not even close to current.? Also, if memory serves correctly, Axl is really nowhere to be seen except in the lame pictures they use.? The only thing it really offers is the story of GN'R's coming together from different people that knew the band, but hardly any of them tell the same story (most conflict with one another at least a bit).? So instead of hearing it from the band, you hear their photographers, hookers and tatoo artists talking about what it was like meeting axl.  And one motherfucker calls him "Alex"...! Alex Rose, come the fuck on.? Big waste of 20 bills.

PS - there's also not even a SPECK of guns music in it.  Like not one goddamn song.

Lol Alex?? Ok now that was funny  :rofl: And no Gn?R music? Omg.. it sounds much more awful than I was thinking about... thanks for sharing  : ok:

thats very fuckin lame.   i wouldn't pay for $5  for this thing.

Go at least I know i'm not the only one  ;D

I know I was dying when I heard "Alex"... so horrible.  But you're very, very welcome my friend.  So long as I can forewarn other Guns fans about this horrible piece of crap.  Even welcome to the videos probably has more interesting stuff than this thing.

lol yeah... including Guns music  : ok:

Haha this is going to be fun :rofl: Gotta check the comedy section from the nearest DVD-store.

Kerching $$$$$$$$$$$$$

If there ever was a classic albums on Guns it would obviously be AFD. I'd really dig that too. It would be sweet.
