Did you notice... the GN'R video breakdown thread

[badapple81]

hi guys, i'm new the board... i;'ve been a gnr fan for a while but there are things i never thought to research online... like the November Rain video, Erin being in 'Sweet Child...' video, etc.   Really interesting information.  I was wondering if anybody had any more trivia that nobody else knew about the past members?  I was particularly interested in videos but I'd love any juicy bits.  Is that baby in 'Estranged' somebody's?  And am i fucking blind or is that the same woman being used for Gilby, Duff, and Matt in the 'Since I Don't Have You' video, but not for Dizzy?

Welcome

You might wanna check back through the pages, around new year time or just before when Welcome To The Videos was coming out around the world, Jarmo I think started a thread about the GNR Videos.. interesting facts etc

The Asian Chick that walks out of the house in Estranged Vid is the bands Masouse as well as she was the girlfriend of Snake Sabo from Skid Row..

[Slashly]

Dont Cry
The "where?s Izzy sing"
Garden of Eden
At the beginig Slash is stood well and a man comes to put him in the right position
Estranged
It?s funny to see the slash duble that cant play guitar,he

also, I?ve downloaded the It?s So Easy vid from  gunsnroses.gr, or somthing like that,  but in my winamp it?s just a sound file there is no video.

[Oddy]

everybody's probably noticed this but

in the WTTJ clip ( the bit where axl gets down on his knees)...........well his shirt disappears for one quick moment then straight away its back.

and i always thought it was slash in estranged in the water.......damn im gonna watch it again.

[Malcolm]

Is the Estranged video shot in axl's house

[Christos AG]

Open the file with Windows Media Player.

I love that past in November Rain where Slash loses the wedding ring and Duff has it safely on his finger.....always makes me laugh

[Irish rose]

this is an interesting one. I was watching mtv and they were doin a small section on gnr a while ago. They showed a clip of wttj and it looked like slash was playing left handed! everything was the other way around!

and no, I was'nt drunk!!

Sure ya weren't

[Captain P?l]

i would take this time to say something about the "slash double" in Estranged. it was a joke in the Making Of &/%"#? Videos....
it really is Slash playing. i mean, why wouldnt it? dont gimme that crap about risk and dangorouse... axl jumped from a fucking tanker!

and standing on a pillar aint any risk. in the making of... you can see the double was a joke, they are all laughing....

atleast, that is my opinion...  

[tjompus]

The Estranged video doesn't show massive detail of any band member except Axl really.

Gilby throws Axl the life-ring, Duff is in the boat in the sea, Dizzy is on the street outside the Rainbow Bar And Grill, Slash isn't seen so clearly, and the live shots are pretty dire at times.

I thought it was dizzy in the boat... man how's it possible to miss that all those years.. Must watch it today!

[jarmo]

Bumping this again.

Maybe people would rather spend time staring at the videos instead of talking about nothing. 


Here's the idea of the thread:





Since many people here own the Welcome To The Videos DVD/VHS, I thought we could do something "fun".

Let's list all the interesting facts about the videos, weird things seen in them etc..

You can use the following format:

Title
- Info [time]



Example:

Welcome To The Jungle
- Director: Nigel Dick

- Shot on August 1st and 2nd, 1987 at Park Plaza & 450 S. La Brea, Hollywood.

- Slash drinking alcohol out of a bottle in front of tv store. [0:30]

- Axl's white t-shirt reads Tattoo Convention.

- Axl forced to watch tvs. A Clockwork Orange reference? [3.27]

They probably just "flipped" the actually version of the video so it looked like he was left-handed (like a mirror image).

[coolman78SLASH]

Izzy is the drug dealer in WTTJ.
Shannon Hoon, the late singer of Blind Melon sings with the band on the roof in Don't Cry.
The snake that Slash plays with in the bed where all the women jumps in but Slash ignores them in the Patience video is Clyde, his favourite pet snake boa that he had during all GnR. It passed away a coupple of years ago. But I think that  that Snake saw fucking everything in Gunner land, Slash took him to rehearsals, on tour, in studio. If there would be one who knew when CD comes out, it would be Clyde !   

[DoubleTalkingJive]

This is something I have noticed in the Don't Cry vid and it's stupid but none the less something I noticed, when Slash is playing the guitar solo in front of the church and he lifts his guitar up, he has a hole in his crotch in his pants.

In Estranged when Axl leans against the gate infront of the tv's, on the tv's is a shot of Stephanie in the underwater scene in the Don't Cry vid.

[snakepiter]

there's two versions to sweet child o'mine one that has black and white scenes and colr scenes and is edited,
and another one that is all black an white and in the end turns to color....

also in scom i'm not sure but it looks like bono or the edge appear in that video

[blasphemer]

In the Pardise video       they put footage in from the donnington show where a couple of fans died during there set.

[Eeebs]

Okay, here is my contribution...

In the November Rain video, one of Stephanie's brides maids is Axl's sister, Amy. 

[Genesis]

in the WTTJ clip ( the bit where axl gets down on his knees)...........well his shirt disappears for one quick moment then straight away its back.

Yeah, that happens in the SCOM video too... During the second chorus, after the shot zooming in from Izzy's guitar, where Axl has his hands in the air... His 'Sunstrip Tattoo Parlour' t-shirt disappears (he's wearing only the jacket), and then reappears!

[Boromir]

In You Could Be Mine, Izzy is in the video, but in the end with Arnorld he is not...

I think he had left GNR then...and they continued the video without him
