First video - your predictions and ideas

[oneAXLinamillion]

NO CARTOONS!!!!

Agree. Cartoon videos are lame

yeah they sucks

[Elrothiel]

Now now, I'm not sure if this has been discussed already, so don't kill me alright!

Buuut... what do y'all think the music videos will be like?

I was thinking that perhaps there'd be one done in the style of House of Flying Daggers or Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon... with lots of high-res photography and brilliant colors. Or maybe in Sin City style!! OR... both ideas fused into one!! Like.... half of it is in HOFD style and it changes at certain parts to SC style... and then back to HOFD style... and back again. I don't know... I just got thinking... and an advert for HOFD came on and I was like "WOW! That would ROCK!!!"

...err... so yea! What do ya think the music videos for the new songs will be like?

[A Private Eye]

All good ideas but I feel the first video might be clips from live performances from during the upcoming tour and maybe some backstage shots etc but basically like the PC video. Have the studio track dubbed over videos of the band playing that track. Would show the bands still ready to rock n roll, a video like Estranged or Don't Cry would be a big mistake as a first single video.

[codenameninja]

I wonder what the first video will look like? (your ideas)

1. (worse case senario) various shots from the recent live gigs 
2. (better than 1.) something abstract, shots of locations, the band are not seen
3. A proper video, the band out and about in some place (maybe China) struting their stuff 
4. Can't think of a 4th

idk but ive been think of irs as the first single and if thats true then when the  big BH solo comes in it zooms into fink or whoever plays it now it zooms in and out with lights flashing all colors it would be cool

[mrlee]

ok i think axl needs to out do the cheese of estranged video.

i think for IRS, we need a car chase with a helicopter chasing also. explosions, axl sky diving parachuting then landing in the back of a jeep next to bumblefoot, who then plays a solo towards all the police cars behind him sending a shock wave of guitar riffery and all the tires burst and windows shatter causing them all to flip over and crash. Then the car needs to crash into the water in which axl swims with dolphins again, and bumblefoot comes out of water soloing. Then richard fortus rescues the band by bringing them in with a guitar lead. then the gnr band are surrounded by fbi people, they give them a quick gig with explosions and then a nuclear bomb goes off to finish it.

When will Axl tell us when the first video is coming out?

that was the funniest thing ive heard all day!
 

i think, if we a video, it's not going to be showing the band playing because they are keeping bucketheads parts in teh songs and they're not going to get him to play in the video.. it would be wrong if they did, even if he wanted to because hes not in the band anymore and it would sort of give the wrong message to the people wtaching the vid on MTV. theyll think he's in the band or something.

so, we might get a vid, but it may be like estanged, NR with just Axl and maybe a finck guitar solo.

oh well... top priority right now.. CD release date.   

[theillusion]

When will Axl tell us when the first video is coming out?? ?

when he tells us the first single is coming out.

When will that be 

[TrueRock&Roll]

I hope that checkmate is a real gnr new song.  Have the video with a fightclub theme.  That would be awesome!

Gilby was in the videos....why can't Bumble be in 'em?

[kever20]

I would like to see a baseball-themed video for Catcher In The Rye set in China.? ?

For those who got that and are rolling their eyes right now, I'm sorry.? I just could'nt resist.

I would like to see a return to the dolphin theme of Estranged. As long as there is an oil tanker to jump off, Im happy

Here's what I'm seeing for a 'Better' video:

Axl's sitting in a hotel room, in a chair by a window, it's dark outside. He's got a blank look on his face, then he starts with the "No one ever told me..", then Axl gets up while singing, leaves his hotel room, time it to where when the music kicks in right when Axl slams the door. While singing, he's walking down the hall, going down the elevator, stopping at the bar to get a drink, etc., all the while, flashing to the band playing the song in a dark place. Then when Axl gets outside the hotel and walks down the street, he meets up with the band, when all of these kinda neon lights start flashing behind Axl & the band (imagine Coldplay's "Speed of Light" video, but outside on the streets at night.

[1badapple]

why bother making a video. MTV and VH1 rarely even play vids anymore. Unless it's a bonus included with the cd, i say no video, just tour.

[codenameninja]

here's an idea:

make puppets of all the band members and hire some puppet operators to move them about. That could be entertaining

Dude, that was incredibly cheesey.

...this way Axl will show on time (for the shoot) and not throw temper tantrums and storm off stage
