Music Video???

[prairie]

I would think the band would want an official video to help promote the new CD.  A video would help introduce new gnr to the casual fan, and is one more avenue of exposure for the new material.  Yes fan made videos can accomplish this as well, but they aren't always accurate.  If this was my decision, I would want to control the images that accompanied my new music.

prairieboy,

I hear what you're saying, and I imagine they will make/release a video eventually.  But apparently that's not on the top of the priority list at this time.

Well it's hard to argue with that, cause I don't see a video.

I was wondering if there are any rumours out there for plans of a music video for the upcoming single('s)?? Chinese Democracy is now released as a single and is doing quite well in a lot of charts, but I think it could do a lot better when there was also a video for it...
same for 'Better'
What are your thoughts?

A badass, kickass video would be awesome.

[mrlee]

i thought the same.

why wasnt there a music video for CD.

Will they be having any music videos for this album?

[mikestone]

i think videos are sooo important these days

in the uk the rock channel "scuzz" is watched by alot of people and its where i heard the new metallica song hav'nt heard it antwhere else apart from on there!

radio in uk sucks!!!

[Butch Français]

I want a video! a NEW one WITH appearances of the band!

[pilferk]

They have ample live footage from various gigs (especially the Hammerstein shows in NYC) to cobble together for a video. 

I'm HOPING we get one for Better.....we'll see.

[Silverchair]

it's been 14 yrs since a music video from the boys... i would love too see Better as a video. MTV owes a lot to GN'R. It brought credibility to music videos.

With the exception of Michael Jackson, Peter Gabriel, and a handfew others... Music videos for rock artists were a joke... that is until Axl showcased a little of what was in his head.

MTV better play that shit all day... now they don't even have TRL. MTV sucks. I hope it dies.

[kenwright79]

i highly doubt there will ever be a music video of any song, unless it was nothing but live footages and that's it. Unless they just add pieces of dramatic stuff with axl and axl only.  It's hard to make a november rain or estranged like video if members of the band in recent years just keep on constantly changing. You have to take that into consideration, no one really knows what's going on since robin left.  For all we know slash could seceretly be the new lead guitar player again.  Wishful thinking yes, but you just dont know with a band like this.

[gnrjanus]

There is a video. and we will like it.
it's just taking a bit more time then expected to bring it out. they are waiting for axl's Ok. and if things to be believed.

Bumblefoot told us we would Like it..

[The Illusionist]

Do you think he still has the "AXL" high tops from the Estranged video?  If so, they should definitely make a cameo in his new video...

[TomFriend]

I would put a decent bet on the live-montage being part of a promo video. If the band had been on location filming a video, we'd surely have heard about it.

[Dave_Rose]

Music videos are highly important its world wide exposure!! I don't think we will see Axl doing a November Rain-esq sorta video ever, if we all know Axl he is all about change and not living your life through one video just an example. I just wanna see a video and then I'll cream my jeans ;>

wow...how can he know such things?

I dont think videos are necessary

They already sold the CD to Best Buy, So they don't really have to make videos etc to promote it. Once they signed the Best Buy deal, they are golden with profit.

I do even though some music channels don't play them, they are necessary.  If they weren't thing there wouldn't be two GnR video's waiting in the wings.  Youtube, Myspace, I-Tunes, Fuse, Vh1 all play music video's still.  It's great promotion, if it wasn't then Kanye, Brittany, and The Killers wouldn't be making them.

[The Prez]

I do not care if video's are necessary or not. I just want to see one because I like the GN'R music video's... Also I don't care if the video would be footages of live performances or something else...but what I would like to see, is a 'badass attitude' video to show all the current popular and so-called rockbands that they can suck GN'R ass in every way. There is nothing out there (ROCK music video) at this moment which is really great.

Also, I believe, a music video WILL help GN'R to win their popularity back to the 'big audience'.... It is not needed if they don't care...but it would be nice 

[Meanmachine22]

GNR would be insane if they won't make a video for Better

[DarkKnight]

I'm kind of surprised there is no mention anywhere of music videos in production for an album which is going to be pretty successful.  This seems odd to me.  We should have a video by now.  Most bands release a video before the album drops.  This is a bit disappointing and I think it has something to do with the Robin situation.  Guns are about to have the #1 album on the rock charts and no videos...
