Summary: Why did they tape this show?
Review: As a testimonal to rock star living, this is a great video. It's a snapshot of onstage rock star lifestyle as they start to hit the downslope - imagine about 35 minutes into the VHI Behind the Music Special... life on the road is taking it's toll, the band isn't getting along, excess is catching up with them...

The performance isn't one of their better ones. With all the great shows this band put on, why did they choose this one to tape? You can tell pretty quickly that they're all really strung out and not playing well. With the exception of the drummmer, Matt Sorum, they all look like they've got one foot in the grave, and they play like it too. There are lots of missed notes and the energy level really lags at some points.

My favorite parts are the short interviews. The interview with the bassist, Duff McKagan, is priceless - he can't put together a coherent sentence during the whole thing.

Bottom line: Fun to watch if you like the band, but don't expect a great performance.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very nice
Review: First off, if you are going to get this tape, you might as well get the second too. It just wouldn't make sense to do otherwise. Secondly, if you really want it on DVD, check e-bay. They released the DVDs in other countries and that's how I got mine (although the writing on the case and in the menu is Spanish, it's not hard to figure out). With that said, if you like Guns N' Roses and want to see them live on video, buy this DVD set. The band plays a number of songs off of the Use Your Illusion albums, and also a few of their biggest hits from the Appetite for Destruction album. The video quality is spectacular and the audio quality is great for what you would expect from a live recording. Of course the quality is not perfect, I don't have any complaints with it. It's a concert recording, what do you expect? In fact, the only complaint I have is having to see Axl wearing those small spandex shorts the whole time. Why doesn't he put any pants on? Well anyways... just get the videos. I figure if you came to Amazon to find videos for Guns N' Roses, you are slightly interested. This is a great live set, so just do yourself a favor and buy it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This video shows that GNR was the most powerfull band ever!
Review: Guns N Roses puts on an amazing show in this video. Axl Rose is in the shape of a track star, and it definitly shows. Slash is a guitar god, and the rest of the band kicks a**. IF YOU EVER WANT TO SEE THE MOST EXCITING LIVE ACTS EVER THIS IS THE VIDEO FOR YOU!

GNR FOREVER!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Guns n' Roses in concert... need i say more?
Review: Have you ever wanted to see Guns n' Roses live in concert? Since the band has broken up, this experience can now only be lived through this video of GNR live in Tokyo. If you are not a GNR fan, you might not enjoy it as much as a die hard fan such as myself.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: an absolute snooze
Review: Hey, I'll be one of many to state that " Guns and Roses" revitalized rock and roll. I absolutely applaud and cherish a couple of their albums; however, this DVD is boring - absolutely boring. I became more concerned with whether or not the washer was on the spin or rinse cycle.

It took me several listens to get through this travesty. Seriously, this performance is that boring. I'll be so petty as to say," What the hell, Axyl? What were you thinking, when you and the band released this bull crap? You and those damn shorts. You were just so damn cute."

Bad asses of rock and roll? You failed here.

The sound is flat. The performance is flat. I just didn't care. Maybe, just maybe, if you were all performing in some dive bar, I would have bought you a beer; then again,( I'm still being petty), I would have thought you were a wimp and had laughed at you.

Save your money. " November Rain" is kind of good, but it ain't worth the price of admission.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Lord help us. Rock N Roll is truly dead.
Review: 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 seem like a band anymore, but 5 seperate pieces floating around in nothingness. The backup singers really bring an extra helping of crappola to the show, complete with flutes, horns and all the cheeziness of a Poison concert. 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.
