Summary: Great collection of GNR classics
Review: This DVD is an amazing collection of Guns N' Roses music videos. Guns N' Roses was probably one of MTV's favorite bands throughout the 80's & early part of the 90's. If you are expecting concert footage & interviews with this DVD you'll be disappointed. But if you are like me and don't care for all that stuff and just want to see the videos this DVD is for you. This video includes the classic MTV "hair" generation classic's Welcome to the Jungle, Sweet Child O Mine, & Paradise City. Plus, in my opinion, one of the top ten music videos ever made in "November Rain". Rare music videos that MTV probably will never air again like, Live & Let Die, Yesterdays, The Garden, Dead Horse, Garden of Eden, Estranged, & Since I Don't Have You. Plus two huge video smash hits like Patience and Don't Cry. The DVD is missing the video for You Could Be Mine & also I remember there was a rare video for Knockin On Heaven's Door that also is not part of this DVD. But I'm not complaining one bit. It's just great to see these videos and remember the days when rock ruled MTV, before rap music became MTV's one and only obsession. A must own DVD for not just GNR fans, but collectors of music video DVD's.

Summary: As always, so much potential, so poor outcome
Review: GN'R Welcome to the Videos dos NOTHING to be considered a neccesary purchase, even for fans of the band. Granted, you've got all the commercially released videos, but NOTHING new. The track list is
1. Welcome to the Jungle
2. Paradise City
3. Sweet Child O'MIne,
4. Patience
5. Don't Cry
6. Live and Let Die
7. November Rain
8. Yesterdays
9. The Garden
10. Dead Horse
11. Garden of Eden
12. Estranged
13. Since I Don't Have YouA casual fan of the GREAT SONGS & MUSIC these videos represent would enjoy it, but then... Where is You could be mine??? Don't Cry (alternate Lyrics)? This is just a plain rehash of the VHS and they did not even care to enhance the sound a bit. Dolby? well, the VHS is also on Dolby Stereo. Wouldn't have it been great if they had added some commentary by "the band" or at least the video directors, since "the band" is made up on one loose brained guy who cannot even fulfill a overhyped tour. Ok, but what about adding previously released material like the Making F&*#ing vVideos Series (available on VHS). Anyway.. if you have cared about G N' R on the last ten years, you must be already used to being ripped off, and love give Mr. Rose some more money for hos lunatic paranoid, drug-, shrink-addicted years. Advice? Not neccesary, if you still care about GN"R, I repeat, you are used to being ripped off. But if you did not tape any of these videos on mTV while they were OVERplayed a decade ago, or did not get sick to death of watching them, or did not purchase the equivalent VHS release, and you have 15 bucks to throw away, they get this. I was dying to get it, expecting ANYTHING more than the VHS release has... but now, I guess I'd rather go into my old cardboard box and look for those old taped MTV shows... if I have even 15 minutes to throw into this "band".

Summary: The rise and fall of a supergroup
Review: Oh we remember it well, the day 'Appetite for Destruction' was released. Everyone everywhere thought Guns n Roses would be long lasting like Aerosmith or the Rolling Stones. We can only look back now and laugh (or cry). For a band that had so much potential, everything went wrong. They were possibly the last band that had a shot of having a thirty year career. This DVD shows all the videos this band made during their all too brief existance. The problem is, the videos are in chronological order. Is this a bad thing? For Guns n Roses it is. When a band releases a debut album that they can never live up to, and you see rotating band members, and Axl getting sillier and weirder, the interest in this collection wanes as the songs go on. The first three, Welcome to the Jungle, Sweet Child O' Mine, and Paradise City show the classic lineup, the best the band ever had to offer. Then we get Patience. An accustic number that Guns released to appease fans that were anxiously waiting for 'Appetite II". Well from here on out we get the Illusion videos. New drummer (what is he like 50 years old?), new guitar player, keyboardist (who the hell are these people?) Anyway, for what it's worth, you can watch a band explode onto the rock scene and then go out with a whimper.

Summary: Don't know what they're talking about
Review: In regards to the folks that bought this DVD and had problems with the sound, I have had no problems with the sound in any way. I have a surround system and think the sound is of the finest quality. I even disconnected the surround and played it through my T.V. and still no audio problems. It might be nice if it was remastered in Dolby 5.1, but It sounded great regardless, especially the video Estranged. I think these folks should get their equipment checked instead of blaming it on the disk.

Summary: BUYER BEWARE ~audio is bad~ DVD RECALL IS NEEDED
Review: Dear GunsN'Roses fans, I exchanged this DVD and the 2nd copy had the same problem as the first. The audio has these high and low points. The volume on a few of the videos went from the volume I had my television set on, then it went down to a lower volume on it's own, then back up. It's a shame because I would really like to have these videos on DVD, however I will be returning this 2nd copy and demanding a full refund. If you bought a copy of this DVD and the audio isn't messed up, hang onto it because you're lucky. I did notice after the fact that there are some other reviews from people that had the same problem with their copy. So buy at your own risk.(...): Exchanged once again because refund was refused. Same problem with 3rd copy. DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU HAVE A SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM!! Save yourself the trouble, time and money.

Summary: Great collection, but no extras
Review: First off, this DVD is a great collection of pretty much all of the Guns'n'Roses videos I remember watching on MTV (and "The Garden"...which I don't remember ever seeing, but whatever). The videos are as amazing now as they were when I was a kid. "You Could Be Mine" is the only video missing, which I imagine is because it had clips from Terminator 2, and there was probably something about rights. Anyway, the only really disappointing thing about this collection (which it seems is everyone's peeve with this DVD) is that there are absolutely NO extras on this disc. No commentaries, no making-of featurettes, not even a still gallery. Kinda sparse, if you ask me, but you can't argue with Guns 'n' Roses.

Summary: The same as the VHS version
Review: This is a MUST for GNR fans but if you (like myself) already purchased the VHS version this adds NOTHING to it. It has their memorable videos that appear for 2 decades on MTV and you know those: Sweet Child O' Mine and Welcome to the Jungle plus the cinematic "trilogy" of November Rain, Dont Cry and Stranged that ruled the TV waves on the 90's. The problem is the same: where is "You Could Be Mine" from the T2 movie? There is no extras, no interviews, no nothing...just buy it for the videos, those are still cool...
