Product Description
From Amazon.com
Here's a baker's dozen of Guns N' Roses' most explosive and memorable music videos from 1987 to 1993, and what a lesson they provide in the early evolution of visual style on MTV. Looking back, it seems Guns N' Roses embraced almost every "type" of music-video setting: "Welcome to the Jungle," for instance, finds rapid images of the band's stage performance interspersed with a semi-narrative featuring Axle Rose as a newcomer to the big bad city. "Paradise City" is set against an arena sound check, while "Sweet Child O' Mine" is structured around the now-threadbare idea of a video documentary about a video production. A couple of obsessive themes emerge from this anthology, the starkest involving love and watery deaths ("Don't Cry" and "November Rain"). Most interesting is the opiate-like distortions of "The Garden" and the surreal "Since I Don't Have You," starring Gary Oldman as a grinning devil. --Tom Keogh

Great for gnr fans,

This review is from: Guns Nroses Welcome to the Vid (VHS Tape)
This video compiles all of their best videos over the years and puts them on one 75 minute tape so you don't have to got through the trouble of watching mtv everyday trying to tape them which would be impossible. This is a great video. Every GNR Fan must have it. END

This review is from: Guns N' Roses - Welcome to the Videos (DVD)
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.

BUYER BEWARE ~audio is bad~ DVD RECALL IS NEEDED,
By fleshybanana "Nairb" (unknown) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guns N' Roses - Welcome to the Videos (DVD)
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.
