Summary: Could I see a band please...........
Review: and not a circus act. How long can you stretch out a drum solo?? I went to the bathroom to throw up, and when I came back it still wasnt over. How depressing to see such a talented band fall into the "Bloated Elvis Syndrom". Spoiled to the point of overindulgence and it shows. The stage is so big, that you rarely see the whole band all at one time or in one spot, or for that matter anywhere near each other. They dont even seems like a band anymore, but 5 seperate pieces floating around in nothingness. What happened to the raw attitude they used to have. My grandmother would enjoy this, but if your a die hard GNR fan, and you want to see them play as a band, and not a circus act than go find a copy of "Guns N Roses Live at the Ritz 1988". If your really a glutton for punishment Ill gladly sell you mine.

Summary: Quite simply the greatest concert of our lifetime
Review: As you start this historic video it shows you the band hangin out backstage and before the show. I particularly like this part because it shows that GNR are human and not just some bad boy band that drank and have sex all the time. And then after the kind of gloomy beginning (due to the song they played -- Breakdown) Axl and the band break into the ferious You Could Be Mine which the same recording is featured on Live Era. The band keeps the intesity with an awesome drum solo that will still rattle your brain! Then the greatest guitarist ever, Slash, breaks into an incredible display of notes and sounds that is still impossible for even the best of guitarist to imitate. After the Godfather comes Sweet Child O Mine. Now the only downfall of the entire tape (and the concert for that matter) was Axls vocals on Sweet Child O Mine. But hey, hes been touring for so long you cant blame the guy. After that the rip into another classic So Fine. This track is so great even though it shows how the band was not all they say in their songs. It says that Axl owns a favor to a friend and he points to Duff. When really none of the band got along with Axl. Then comes the second best track GNR ever recorded -- Rocket Queen. This track had it all - blazing leads, hot ryhyms, even a rap section (lol). Slash is the usual Slash going crazy and playing his heart out. Gotta love him! After that they go it Move To The City which is highly underatted. Then comes the encore. Knockin On Heavens Door is a classic song that was made incredible by GNR. This version is about 10 minutes long and shows Slashs genious of the guitar. Then comes simply the best track of all time (tied with Lynyrd Skynyrds Free Bird) Estranged. The track shows the genious of Axl Rose and the beautiful music he created. The guitars were perfect and the drums and bass was genious. Dizzy created a beautiful mid way piano solo in the song followed by Slashs most memorible solo. Then the band storms back on for their final blow out - Paradise City. Axl goes all out on this. And Slash runs around pratically in the crowd playing another well constructed and well thought out solo. And then as the final chord rings out and then band bows as you wonder, "Will their ever been music better than this ever?"
Trust me. If you are a fan or rap or regea or anything you will enjoy this historic concert. It is sad that such an awesome band had to fizzle out of existense. But their still is hope of a new GNR. There is a new GNR band will only Axl remaining but I doubt they will ever be albe to touch the glory and wonder of the greatest band to exist.

Summary: The only GNR video/s a GNR fan will ever need
Review: I have to agree with both my fellow countrymen from NZ and say, first and foremost this is an excellent video as a part of a two vhs set, and while it may be expensive ( i know i paid around 120 for both) it is well worth it.
The video kicks off with a little backstage footage before axl appears onstage to kick things off with "You could be mine". I must be honest though, I thought axl really was off form, particuarly in the early songs. He wasnt hitting the high notes and his voice was far rougher than usual, in my opinion he butchered sweet child o' mine but yeah my opinion is EXACTLY that, an opinion. He did show plenty of energy however, which is the mark of a great frontman. The rest of the band were great though. Slash in particular absolutely shredded everyone else on stage with his solos, many of which were improvised versions of the album cuts, which was nice... although i was dissapointed he did an improvisation on the big paradise city solo.
As has already been mentioned, may of the songs contain little intros or interludes, for example: In the middle of rocket queen axl starts rapping "It tastes good dont it". I certainly didnt appreciate that, many rock affectionados won't either, but it was certainly unexpected.
The Quality of the VHS itself, both visually and in the sound department was unprecedented for a vhs. It was crisp and clean (it was recorded officially by GNR of course) sound was excellent also, only a little behind DVD quality playback.
Overall this is an essential set to own, as as this VHS in particular, which contains most of, in my opinion, the gunners best stuff.
Buy it... hell buy them both.

Summary: Great performance!!
Review: I just picked up "Guns N Roses: Live in Tokyo I" and I must say it is a very good capture of the group's performance from their 1992 World Tour in support of the two "Illusions" albums.Filmed in February, 1992 at the Tokyo Dome, that venue provides a fine backdrop for one of the best metal acts of the late 1980s and early 1990's. The video quality is great, although I wonder why they interrupted the show to insert a minute or so of behind-the-scenes footage. It disrupted the overall experience (though only slightly), and I feel it should have been inserted at the end. The spotlights that are shone on individual members as they run around on the huge stage provide a nice touch. Highlights include "Welcome To The Jungle," Paul McCartney's "Live And Let Die," and of course, the sweeping epic, "November Rain." I highly recomend this one to fans of G 'N R, but also to any fans of hard rock who also appreciate great concert videos!

Summary: Must have!
Review: If you like rock music you must have this. Great job catching a great concert on film. For VHS, it's pretty good.
This was filmed at the peak of GnR, so it doesn't get any better then this.
Make sure to also buy part 1 for the whole concert.
