Summary: GN'R FAN - MUST HAVE
Review: It's been 7 years since I've seen videos like Estranged, Don't Cry... It's pretty logical that the best group had the best videos. Please, all Guns n' Roses fans, who don't already own this video; go out and get it. It is as simple as that: if you LOVE the music, you will LOVE the videos. All GN'R fans write to me at dajci@mailcity.com Enjoy

Summary: What is going on here?
Review: Holy cow! This video not only offended me, it made me question my sanity. Is it me, or are these guys wearing wigs? Not only that, but these guys have paintings all over their skin. What's up with that, Jack? I had the unfortunate pleasure of watching this "video" at the breakfast table with my children. My two boys were just as confused as me. All I could say was, "Boys, finish your pancakes, we have a nasty review to write". And that is what I am presently doing. I give this video 1 star for the simple reason that there was no option for 0 stars. To anyone that might have enjoyed this freak show, I say, SHAME ON YOU!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very, very cool
Review: This video is totally awesome. It has the best of GN'R all squished onto this nice little video. It has 13 of the videos, from "Welcome to the Jungle" to "Patience" to "Since I Don't have You" and just about everything in between. A very cool item for every Guns N' Roses fan out there. Plus, you get to see the evolution of GN'R from '87 when it started to '93 when it came to a halt. Like I said, very, very cool.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Rock n' Roll Lives Again
Review: Guns N' Roses did it all... they were the best rock band in the world, and they made the best videos. The simpler vids from Appetite for Destruction are all here, as are the classics which still stand as the standard for all music videos made today: Don't Cry, November Rain and Estranged, the last of which is worth the price of the tape all by itself. Was a little annoyed not to have You Could Be Mine on the tape, but the video wasn't as good as the song anyway. Get the videos if, and only if, you love rock n' roll.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This vid rocks
Review: I've gotta say that this vid absolutely rocks in every way.It includes all of their best vids ,like "November Rain". I could've done without that crazy vid "The Garden",but I just fast forwarded.I recommend this to anyone who is an avid GNR fan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Welcome to the videos review
Review: I've had a chance to see Welcome to the Videos. I thought it was excellent. It contained all of GNR'S most popular songs/videos. This video contained more than just GNR in concert footage. The videos for November Rain, Don't you Cry and Estranged contained themes and storylines. As a matter of fact, the videos attached to these songs helped me understand them better. I really liked the dolphins in Estranged! This video brought back some really good memories and I'm hoping GNR will overcome their personal differences and start recording again. Of course, being a true Axl fan, I enjoyed seeing him in the videos but most of all, appreciate his song writing ability and his ability to express himself in a sensitive way, especially in estranged. The quality of this video is excellent. There is concert footage, but the songs are as they were recorded on the albums they came from. I know you will love Welcome To The Videos!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ALL IN ONE PACKAGE
Review: This video contains almost every Guns video ever made. They might have omitted 1 or 2 and i can't think of which ones they are. Ohh, the video You Could Be Mine is not here, and thats a crying shame because it's a cool vid flick. Anyway, all their epics from Illusion CD's are here. November Rain, Estranged, and Don't Cry among other videos from both those albums. Patience from Lies and Sine I Don't Have You from the Spag. Incident are also included. But the real keepers are their most awesome videos off of Appetite. Welcome to the Jungle, Sweet Child of Mine and Paradise City are worth owning alone. They all bring back fond, bittersweet memories of what metal and videos were like in the Rockin' 80's.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GNFR are ready to end the end and start big-time !
Review: I've never believed that I'd ever be let down by my life-time gods and luckily had the chance to have that patience they were once singin' about. So, maybe that is not really a farewell but a little more time out. This video includes all the video-clips they have put out from the start. A true candidate who doesn't want to miss the last train to the paradise city, still has the chance to find the golden ticket...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The **ULTIMATE** Video for Fans of the _BEST_ Band in Music
Review: First, I'd like to address a brief comment to the troglodytes that felt it necessary to 'review' the video and give it one star. While there are always twits online, I find it especially offensive when they purport to review something they've never seen, could not understand, and are unable to access -- and then trash it for all to see.

Guns N' Roses is not a band for little boys who 'wanna be bad' -- it's a very grown up band, and the lyrics are some of the best I've ever heard. Complex, emotionally rich, layered with observations about the difficulties of life, emotional pain, the confusion that plagues us all at different times -- all of this, powered by Axl Rose's brilliant voice (which can sound like a dozen different voices, his range and ability to alter his sound is well nigh incredible) and the power of the music, particularly, of course, Slash's guitar. Not to give short shrift to the rest of the band, they too give the music its uniquely powerful sound.

If one is a bland, conservative, individual wearing blinders that allow him to see nothing but 'good = guy in a suit' and 'bad = long hair and tattoos' then one will not listen or appreciate Guns N'Roses. One of the reviewers apparently was of this ilk -- he couldn't see past an appearance that disturbed his deeply middle class bourgeois values.

If, however, you don't give a whit about the length of someone's hair (what possible relevance could hair length have to musical ability?) or whether the individual has a penchant for obtaining tattoos (and why would one care about that either? Tattoos are a *personal* choice. Not a musical judgment, for christ's sakes), then one CAN listen and CAN _hear_ the brilliance. November Rain.. Estranged.. Don't Damn Me.. Listen to the lyrics. Every single song, every single video, all brilliant. W. Axl Rose is indeed a 'genius' (I mean that as more than hyperbole, he is certifiably brilliant, IQ wise, any way you wish to look at it) and the lyrics to the songs show that brilliance just as a tiffany setting shows the brilliance of a well cut diamond solitaire.

My only hope is that with the current lineup, the new material will have the power of the old, and I deeply wish that the band would go back to its old line up -- surely the individuals who left to pursue individual projects now realize that they aren't getting anywhere very quickly (not to insult them, it is merely that this group of people make incredible music TOGETHER). Even Slash's 'Snakepit' leaves one feeling not quite fulfilled. The guitar is brilliant, but where are the stunning vocals, the raw power and catharsis of that voice? The same problem, I fear, will emerge when the new material comes out. We will have Axl's vocals.. but without Slash's guitar, who knows what they'll sound like.

My review of the video? Highest possible, buy it and watch it often, read the words, learn them by heart, sing along at the top of your voice in your car with the Guns N' Roses CDs on. My review of the band? The *best* band that ever was.. and my musical tastes are very wide and varied indeed. Still, if I had to pick a winner, it would be, it always would have to be, Guns N' Roses as it existed either at the time of Appetite for Destruction, or later during Illusions l and ll - Let's see those lineups back, and ASAP. Buy this video. You will not be sorry, and if its for the Guns N' Roses fan in your life.. they will love you forever and be stunned at your wisdom and good taste in gift giving. :)

Hope this has been helpful.
