Axl on Better music video and more

[Jim Bob]

I just meant that I believe a lot of forum members are expecting a lot more then a live video.

I think they're expecting Axl to come out of the TV/computer monitor and sing live in their room.

I'll be pissed if he doesn't.

I don't think it's too outrageous of a request myself...

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

I thought about cleaning my room, but fuck it, Axl should love me the way I am.

hell, I got a 73 inch screen so he doesn't have to worry about banging his head when he climbs out.

[Buddha_Master]

Cool, it will be here "shortly." That is good. So I take it it won't be out this week.

[Chuzeville]

I think Axl should know better by now than to announce things he isn't 100 % sure of.

Fuck that, U know us GNR fans! We want  Axl to come to our room and sing while HE Cleans it for us!

In that respect I honestly feel bad for the dude. He's always damned if he does and so on.

I think there may be a bit of miscommunication...when you say 'I'll be there soon', it probably means in 10 minutes...when Axl says something will be soon, it could be months away.  All in good time...if we could wait 15 years, what is another 2 weeks?   

[falungong69]

look, why should he rush the video?  once this amazing video comes out, better will shoot to the top of the charts and chinese democracy will follow.  what difference does it make if he does it this week or next week?  he could release the video in six months, and it would have the same amazing effect.  axl's smartly biding his time, waiting for the perfect exact moment to take the world by storm.  christmas obviously wouldn't be a good time.  then the whole obama inauguration will get a lot of attention, which he rightly shouldn't try and distract from.  maybe in feburary.  he could release the video, then hit the public up with the release of madagascar just in time for black history month, when everyone will be playing more attention to mlk jr.'s legacy.  it's actually a brilliant move.

quit second guessing axl.  he clearly knows what he's doing.  the music is amazing, and he's gotten us this far.  so just shut the fuck up and let axl do his job!

[GNR4L]

shortly i take means 2-4 weeks.  I waiting for the video as the same as the next guy.  If we can wait for CD we can wait for a video 

[Chuzeville]

No biggie, but didn't Dexter say 'next week'?

No biggie, but didn't Dexter say 'next week'?

Dexter also once said "soon is not the word"

Don't you think there may be a reason that people tend to promote albums around the time of release, while reviews are pouring in, there's a natural hype surrounding the album and it's prominently displayed in record stores (i.e. not just in the artist's catalog section)? Sure, Axl may want to take an experimental approach to things, but meanwhile, Best Buy is taking down its C.D. displays and if you believe the figures quoted, is stuck with a vast number of unsold copies which before long will be heading to the bargain bin.

Trying to promote this album 2 or 3 months down the line, when it is already widely considered a commercial flop (I hope that isn't news to anyone) will be like trying to start a car with a dead battery.

No biggie, but didn't Dexter say 'next week'?

Soon wasn't the word then, so he was right on that occasion. The video didn't come out the following week, so he was wrong on that occasion. What's your point?

[carmiedisco12]

The video hasn't even come out yet and people are already having panic attacks! 

I can guarantee that Axl won't put out a video that is questionable in quality.

Unlike the booklet??

Why do people persist in making guarantee's??

For years people said I guarantee they wont tour again without an album etc etc etc..........Unless you have "inside knowledge" ....and very few do.....then how can you guarantee??? I mean after over a decade the CD released to the public (art/lyric wise with the booklet was a sham so how can you GUARANTEE the vid wont?

I expect the video will be cool and more down to earth than the illusion vids.....but CD isnt exactly a gritty down to earth piece, so I doubt it'll be a simple live video.....but then its GNR , even the band dont know whats happening so who the hell knows.

Makes it interesting nonetheless:)

Im still holding out for a video for coma

The video didn't come out the following week, so he was wrong on that occasion.

No he wasn't. He said "in a week OR SO".

lightheatedness /hinting his agreement with  'no biggie' bit, i think.

like mentioned, dexter added 'or so' .  a week or a month...no biggie.

No he wasn't. He said "in a week OR SO".

When does your idea of a 'week or so' end?

So it wasn't out in a week or a week and a half.

Does it help "discussing" what Axl might've meant? 



This happens every time he says something.

The Video will be out when it will be out, I can't wait till one day it pops up and surprises me on TV.
