Yeah.
I decided not to buy it cause it seemed illegal by the appearance of the cover.

Yeah that's what I did I pre-ordered it online. Once I get I'm not even going to open it. It's going right back. [ok] So you have two of them.
Hey that's $25 bucks for you. [greedy] [peace]

I received my DVD a few days ago and I can just agree with most of you. It's really nothing you MUST have. It's rather boring, a lot of facts (that in my opinion would be worth to mention) are missing, the music sucks and the band itself is only rarely on screen. There are always the same pics floating around. I really thought that it would be something interesting to watch and listen to (while waiting for Chinese Democracy
), but I was fuckin' disappointed by this - I think I'm not exaggerating - piece of fuckin' shit. [rant]

To sum this review up, it sucks.
Here it is in long form:
Everything that people said about this dvd being half assed is completely true. I was hoping for something with a collection of interviews with band members or something along those lines. I believe that there were clips from two or maybe three at the most. And they were not longer than 30 seconds. The presentation of facts in the DVD is dismal, most of the history of the band is completely ignored in favor of a more broad overview of the LA Music scene in the 80's. Yes, that's right, the same shit that you've heard about the music scene is regurgitated for your viewing pleasure rather than any details of the bands formation. What little pre-GNR history that is presented is commonly known. Previous bands and such figures as Traci Guns are almost completely ignored. Neither Wes Arkeen or Del James are even mentioned. Dizzy is ignored. The band is presented as Axl Slash Duff Izzy and Steven virtually from day one. The factual accuracy of the DVD is quite questionable at times, they actually say that Slash urinated on a plane. The break-up of the band is virtually ignored until the end of the DVD when it is mentioned for about three or four minutes. No insight is offered, and no original theorys are produced. If you know anything about GNR, then this DVD will provide virtually no new or interesting information at all. There was one antecdote during the entire DVD that had me mildly interested and that's all. Now I didn't expect much from this DVD, but I didn't think I'd be so bored with it as to postpone viewing the last 30 minutes until I watched a rerun of That 70's Show. However, I actually found myself so disgusted with the pathetic effort that I did stop for just such a rerun. I plead with anyone not to buy this DVD, watch a making the videos instead, even if you've watched it 100 times before, it will be a much better use of your time.
I just thought of one more complaint, I don't believe that Matt or Gilby were mentioned even once by name. No mention of the selection process or anything of that nature.
I was browsing the DVD section months ago(before UYI DVD's were out), and my heart almost stopped dead when i saw it, i bought it straight away and when i watched it i was so pissed off. It's so shit it's not funny
