Rating: Summary: Guns n' Roses still a great band after all this time Review: Seeing them play in concert was a great experience but since they broke up I have been looking for stuff by them. This video is the next best thing to seeing them in concert. I highly recommend buying this video at it's great price.
Rating: Summary: The Best Hard Rock Band EVER! Review: Starts off rather bad, axl isn't warmed up for nighttrain, sound is bad on mr browstone, then it gets awesome. You must buy this video and buy part 2
Rating: Summary: The Best Video ever Review: The best 2 videos u can buy by the best band ever, these 2 vids are just amasing, everyone must buy them, u seem to be able to watch the videos over and over and u will never get bored they r seriously that good.
Rating: Summary: The Best concert DVD ive seen!! Review: The Intruduction to this is really cool, Then it goes into Nightrain and Mr.Brownstone 2 Great songs. Live and Let die witch is really good here. Its so Easy is one of my favorite on the DVD along with Bad Obsession. Attitude is a great song unlike most GNR songs becouse its a misfits cover that Duff sings but it is really good.Pretty tied up is my least favorite song on the DVD, but still not bad. Welcome to The Jungle you gotta have its excellent. Axl sings Dont Cry perfectly here. Double Talkin Jive is another great song.Civil War is pretty good, Alot of changing in one song even for Axl. Slash and Gilby start soloing at the end of Civil War and it carries over into Wild Horses witch is mostly guitar and really good. Then Patience thats awesome I prefer Slashs original solo to the one in this version but still excellent. And Finally November Rain probably the best GNR performance. The DVD is Excellent no need for bonus features go get it!
Rating: Summary: Awesome performance.. shoddy production Review: The thing with Axl was sort of like with Bob Dylan.. sometimes you have no clue what the he was saying and the next minute, you can hear him perfectly clear. Yet the thing which is evident is there is no overdubbing during or after the shows, unlike today's poppish stadium shows where everything you hear live is prerecorded(eg Ms Spears). It's all Axl's voice, and it's in fine form, especially during the intro to Jungle! His piano playing is brilliant. His enthusiasm is there. I'm not a fan on the way this video was produced, sometimes seem amateurish with the camera moving quickly. But, this is all you have to choose from, at least for now... so grab it.. you won't regret it
Rating: Summary: Outstanding Review: There`s only one word; exellent...Axl is not only the king of rock, but the king of music
Rating: Summary: Band Heavily Influenced by Silver Linings Review: These guys rock. You can see the gritty, monster rock influence of the NYC cult band "The Silver Linings." From the audacious stage presence to the surreal guitar riffs, it is obvious that Axl, Slash, and the crew are disciples of the old school rockers, Rob Styler and Reagan Rule. I highly reccommend this video to any G'n'R or Silver Linings fans.
Rating: Summary: Use Your Illusion I Review: This Concert DVD is not in 5.1 Surround Sound which is why I gave it a rating of 4. It's still a great concert DVD to own and would have received a rating of 5 if it were in 5.1 Surround Sound.
Rating: Summary: It's OK, but could have been a lot better Review: This is a combination review of both UYI's, and the "Welcome to the Videos" DVD. I did not previously have any of these on VHS. First of all, the music itself. Of course the videos are classics, and it's great to finally have them on DVD. The glaring omission is "You Could Be Mine", which is a shame since it is a great song and video. They must not have wanted to pay to license the Terminator image for this release, which isn't surprising given the other shortcomings. I'll get to those in a minute. As far as the Tokyo concert goes, it's not bad, but it's not great either. I saw GNR twice back in the day, and even saw them again with the new lineup in late 2002 before the tour was aborted, and ALL of those shows had at least twice the energy of this one. The show I saw in the Tacoma Dome in 1991 was VERY intense, and to this day is still the loudest concert I have ever been to. The show on these DVD's just doesn't compare, but unfortunately this is probably all we are going to get of Axl and Slash era GNR. As far as the DVD's themselves go, I am VERY disappointed. I think the entire concert and the videos could have been put on one DVD, like the Stone Temple Pilots did, or at least onto one reasonably priced 2-disc set, like the OUTSTANDING Led Zeppelin DVD. They didn't even bother to remaster any of it in 5.1. The whole thing smacks of a money grab to me, and that pisses me off. If Jimmy Page could do such an awesome job of remastering tapes from the 1970's in 5.1, there is no reason they could not have done the same with these. The other thing I hate is when concert DVD's are constantly interrupted by interviews, which completely breaks the mood of the show. Save the interviews for the special features section, dammit!!!! So if you gotta have your GNR then go ahead and get these, because that's all you're gonna get. It's just very disappointing that no effort was put into the production, and that this was all released on 3 separate DVD's to maximize the amount of money that they could extract from your wallet. Hats off again to Jimmy Page for thinking about the fans instead of his bank account, and if you don't have that Zeppelin DVD then GET IT NOW! IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!
