It's better to burn out than to fade away...
« on: September 26, 2004, 12:51:06 AM »
I was just on Yahoo Launch taking a look at the Guns N' Roses section.  I noticed they had the video for "Since I Don't Have You", and I'd never seen it before, so I checked it out.  And...it was bad.  I mean, really, really lame.  I GUESS it's supposed to be tongue in cheek, but to me it just seemed kinda stupid.  It seems to depict the band on vacation or something, which is not really what I like to see in a video by the "bad boys of rock 'n' roll".  The song itself has always been for me a pleasant little tune, but the fact that they released it as a single is beyond me.

After that, I decided to watch the video for "Sweet Child O' Mine" again.  And, as always, I was once again blown away by the incredible performance, the band's chemistry, their earnestness, and the great music.  It seemed rough, and totally beyond cliche.  It was an image of a band I wanted to be in, everything that was great about Guns N' Roses.  Watching the video for "Since You Don't Have You", it almost makes me sympathize with the view of Kurt Cobain of GN'R as bloated corporate rock.  Watching them there in a silly video cavorting with women on a hillside or something, with only three original members, is a big difference from seeing the power of the original 5 (which Matt and Gilby, great as they are, could never recapture).  I wish the original Guns hadn't ended on such a sour note...

I don't think the video was very good either, but it's tolerable.  Nevertheless, compared with other previous videos, this one certainly doesn't make the cut.

It is not that hard to figure out - in the video, Axl is in hell and everyone else is able to find love (even lesbians) except for him. I think there also might be something to the end where he crashes into the water (and breaks through the illusionary surface of things?). Nothing brilliant or anything, but at least it is something more than Kurt Cobain swinging from a chandelier.

I hate the song, GN'R should have never covered that one. When I bought the 'punk cover album' and put it to the CD player I started to laugh what a great joke that was to start it with this parody  rofl Later I almost cried when the releaed it as a single and filmed a video. Of course, Axl wanted this  Sad Such a shame that it was GN'R's last video. (On the other hand the video is quite lame and cheesy, the worst GN'R video ever.)

I always liked the original song by The Skyliners. Axl doesn't do his best on the song, but I like it. The Spag In. was about having fun, not making a great record. So thats I think was the idea with the video too. And besides getting Gary to do the video had to be a trick. And a great idea! ok

The video might not be the greatest thing, but atleast Axl's ex-girlfriend that appears in the video is amazing.  I'm talking about the blonde one at the beginning of the video.  She's top notch.  I forget her name though.  I do like the song however.

Jennifer Driver, I think. Hmmm, she's the only good thing in that video. But she's really, really good. yes
