Animation from RIR 2001?

[nonlinear]

I was jsut reading Kurt Loder's review of RIR 2001 (http://www.newgnr.com/concerts/reviews/rev011501.html).  Does anyone know where to find video of the opening animation "W. Axl Rose in 'A Sorta Kinda Wonderful Life' " that loder mentions in the review?

"At 1:55, the dimmed lights on the airplane-hangar-size Rock in Rio stage died down completely, and a giant video screen on the back wall flickered to life, bearing the words "W. Axl Rose in 'A Sorta Kinda Wonderful Life.' " There followed an extremely weird animated film depicting a cartoon Axl ? his toe- and fingernails grown to eccentric length, apparently on the model of the late, whacked-out billionaire Howard Hughes. He appeared to be confined to a sanitarium of some sort, and was seen to be peeing into a plastic urine-sample cup, calling for a bedpan, and then wiping his nether parts with a page ripped from a copy of Rolling Drone magazine. A cartoon night nurse appeared, straight out of an ancient porn scenario, complete with big breasts and black fishnet stockings, bearing a syringe the size of a bazooka, at which point the cartoon Axl (or "Uncle Axl," as he called himself, in a voice that could only have been Rose's own) advised the no-doubt-puzzled Brazilian crowd that "Things go better with Diet Coke." The bizarre minifilm ended, and all across the stage, howling pyro fireballs suddenly erupted into the pitch-black night, accompanied by a soaring, air-raid-siren guitar note. The stage lights slammed on, and there they all were ? the new Guns N' Roses ? ripping into "Welcome to the Jungle" as if they'd just written it a little earlier in the day."

Same video was in front of the Vegas HOB show.  It's been discussed before if I remember correctly, I believe the animator was the same guy that did the Lupo cartoons before. 

I believe (god it's been 13+ years) that some of those were shown during the 92 concerts prior to the show, right before the Leonard Cohen music that would start the show.

I believe its on the bootleg from the show.

does anyone have a copy they can upload to YSI?

Yeah, it is on there, but it's a little foggy and it's not as good as teh review makes it out to be. It's actually kind of stupid, but the "Uncle Axl" line is pretty funny.

Do you mean the guy who was swearing a lot and I think he cut off his own hands or something?

I have this vague memory of a cartoon playing after the show I saw in 1991....

After the legendary 1991 Copnehagen Forum show ("The Firecracker Incident Show") an animation was run. I remember we all stood there drenched looking at this thing.

This MTV sketch of a mad chef and some melting butter on a pan kindda reminds me of it. That's around 5-6 years old only.

Funny, Jarmo, been thinking about that!

Jarmo & Rainfox, that's the one!   Apparently that same animator did the cartoon for the Vegas HOB and RIR show.  I forget now when and where this was discussed, though     It almost seems like another lifetime since the 1991-1993 shows.....

It's on the RIR intro. Just download it and you can watch it.

It's pretty lame, though, and kind of creepy.

Yes, I suppose so. I may go do that right now, actually. 

[Natasha23]

I think this is the wrong link.  I just downloaded it and it's 2006 RIR.  There's no animation.

[nonlinear]

oh crap!  i must've posted the wrong link.  i'll have to look through that thread and pull out the right link.

i won't have time for a few hours, so if anyone feels like doing it in the meantime, please do 

[nonlinear]

hrm, apparently that thread at mygnrforum only has 2006 RIR...

still looking for this, anyone help
