Axl Rose - The Prettiest Star DVD

[Voodoochild]

The Axl Rose: The Prettiest Star DVD, including scenes of the reclusive ex-Guns N? Roses frontman recording his (allegedly) upcoming album Chinese Democracy.

Hum.. I think this is bullshit. Can't believe some unnoficial dvd would have some rare material like this.

[James_Ramone]

its gonna be the same crap as that awful "guns n roses: sex drugs & rock n roll" dvd

They will just have ppl  like Axls milkman from 1980 talk about how Axls into semi skimmed and not pasturised milk or the postman who once delivered a parcel to Axl

dont buy it and make sure it falls on its arse

Okay I just watched it! Love the opening scene! Its a great clip of Axl running down a hotel hallway! The dvd was better then I thought. I loved the comments from Robert John. You can tell even though they are not friends anymore that Robert still cares about Axl. It was more  an early gnr bio than anything. And no there were no new clips of Axl or new gnr. a few still shots that we all have seen. If your a serious gnr fan you will want this for your collection. It also comes with a little Axl trivia I scored 15 out of 15. It wasn't that hard.

[saint seiya]

the clip of axl running was shown in Vh1's behind the music, does this dvd include any footage from Hollywood Rose? or Gnr?

[willow]

There are some pics of Hollywood Rose and AXL and Rose. There are a few clips of gnr, but no music.
I've seen the behind the music. Don't remember that!

Has anyone seen this yet? I think I'll buy it... unless I hear it sucks ass (it probably will). Maybe the release of this will prompt a statement from management. Speaking of which, I have Merck's juicy contact info, amongst others, if anyone is brave enough to pry him for some god damn updates on this never ending saga.

You will just get the standard reply "when we have something to say we will say it" or something along those lines. There are only a few people on various boards who Merck writes detailed response to, so for their sake i wouldnt bother writing.... we dont want to annoy Merck now, leave him to sort out Sanctuarys various problems!

They won't be getting any of my money.  I was stupid enough to waste $20 on Chrome Dreams "GN'R: SexN'DrugsN'RockN'Roll" atrocity.  Even if by ultra-slim chance there is something revealed that we don't know in the new DVD - it's nothing we can't live without.  Chinese Democracy still has no release date and that's pretty much the only thing I'm concerned about.

The cover picture of the DVD is fantastic. It's wembley'92 isn't it?
Axl should come back with that style, just put a jeans instead of the biker short, but it rocks! I love that style, it's the old good axl we all want to see again ?

[Twisted Nerve 85]

The title sucks shit, hopefully the DVD itself wont.

Topic explains itself.

I pre-ordered it and received it this afternoon. It is a complete rehash of everything we already know, and I thought it was going to concentrate more on Axl, but that didn't come until the very end when all the "he's an asshole, haven't you heard," comments starting pouring in. There were, however, some minor details that I wasn't aware of beforehand. I didn't know that he used to always sing in a low register and that it was encouraged by others to start singing in the faseltto one. I also didn't know that they were late for their signing to Geffen because Axl lost his contact lenses and was found sitting on top of the Whisky a Go-Go building. And another thing I didn't know about was Izzy taking a bus when they'd tour, and the rest of them flying by jet plane. There was some footage on a plane of Slash reading with his hair covering his entire face, Steph reading something, and right next to her is Axl staring all over the place in his white Marlboro t-shirt. That's pretty much it. It's a total waste of time for non-hardcore fans. But, alas, we must all own EVERY SINGLE THING with their name on it... and we shall.

What about the commentary by Vicky Hamilton, Robert John and such?  What did they have to say?
