Guns N' Roses - Live in London 2012 movie

[--DEA--]

It was the whole show.. Nothing cut out

You mean it was longer than 2hrs.20min. and they showed all the solo songs? (Tommy, Ron, Richard, etc.)
If that's the case, it means it's a different version...but I guess the camera angles were the same (way too much shots of the audience, almost no close-up shots...)

It's a nice concert indeed, though!

Yes.. All the solo songs was there.. the show was 3 hrs.. Really cool!

Just watching the Blu Ray in glorious surround sound. It's absolutely fantastic! Such a shame they have not given this a proper official airing.

It's a sold out arena, the crowd are in to it, Axl and the band sound great, Izzy shows up...Ohh and I'm in it! What more could I/you ask for.

Sure there are a few weird editing decisions and Axl's rasp was more intact in 2010 but all in all this is now my definitive GN'R home video.

Looking forward to Vegas show soon. Fingers crossed I'll be able to buy a legit copy which will benefit the band.

How did you watch the Blu-ray?

Again...

I watched the VH1 airing "Guns N' Roses: Live at the 02 Arena" on March 2nd but it was only 1 1/2 hours of the show.  The entire show/special did not air on VH1, Eddie Trunk said for contractual reasons.  It's been removed from the Palladia schedule as well.

Is the entire show going to air in the future on VH1?  Will it be shown in the US in cinemas?  How do I see the rest of the show?

There's a bluray available for download at the gnr tracker. Full HD recorded from japanese tv.

Some of the songs are on Youtube. The editing is completely shitty which may be why it was pulled. Such a waste to see GNR employ a full camera crew to pro-shoot every show and then the result is edited like this.

Eddie Trunk said the VH1 special was pulled because of "contractual" reasons.

VH1 aired 1.5 hours of the performance, I watched it, so it must have been approved at some point.  I doubt VH1 would run rogue with the footage.

I actually like the editing on the blu ray, it is quite fast paced but never gets boring as there are so many things going on on stage that it captures loads of stuff, plus there are lots of great shots and angles like shots from behind Frank and shots of the crowd when DJ is standing on the monitors looking out and stuff. Finally i have some great material to show my stubborn old gnr fans how awesome this band is.

Totally agree, I love the way the London 02, 2012 pro shot is edited. I love the fast paced camera action, and feel that the angles are spot on. It keeps things energetic and moving, the way a GN'R show should always be.

It's definitely a different way of recording a pro shot, if compared to pro GN'R footage from 2006, and 2010... but I much prefer it as it feels like you are there, as it's so dynamic.

I notice at the shows there seems to always be someone filming, what are they filming it for and why don't we ever see it?
Also why film every show? It doesn't change that much from concert to concert.

Well how do you think they the get action from the band onto the screens behind them   And just because they have camera's rolling doesn't mean they are recording things, think webcams...

[reayj2003]

The O2 was a different there was a full crew filming the show as well as the usual filming that goes on to feed the big screens. They don't have this at every gig.

They announced this before the show was played, via facebook iirc.  I remember this due to not being able to see this them in 2012 but a colleague from work was going and remember the conversation about if she flashed her tits at a camera, chances were that see'd seen on the DVD

Listening to Estranged on Youtube--you can tell the mix is great. You hear all the instruments, including some nice guitar work that often tends to get lost.

Aha, good point. I never connected the camera with the screens  That's one huge camera he lugs around on his shoulder, while people get the same footage from a tiny phone

Just wanted to give a huge thanks to those involved with capturing and creating the bluray......damn the quality is amazing! I LOVE all the proshot web streams, but this blows them away quality wise. My new 47" 3D just got here a week ago, now I just need the Vegas show!!

[Sillything]

Really really good concert movie! I enjoyed it with my childhood friends! We drank lots of Jack n Coke in the cinema. Got really drunk! Sang along and had a great fucking time!

[One.In.A.Million]

I've just watched this whole performance and it was amazing, the band on top form. Highlights were Chinese Democracy, Sorry, Estranged, Shackler's Revenge and November Rain. It was just brilliant, I decided to watch it with a bottle of wine and a few beers, and it was insane... such a cool experience. 

GN'R are more than just a band to me, they are my life and inspiration... thank you Axl Rose and Guns N' Roses!!!...

[reayj2003]

It really is a fantastic watch. I've had it on when my friends are over and all are blown away at how GOOD the band and Axl are. Incredible!
