mikeman5150 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I remember a few years ago there was a guy on here that claimed he had the 02' vma rehersal footage. He gave a 30 second teaser clip that showed bucket head without the usual Michael Myers mask, it was instead this really weird even more creepy mask. Axl was wearing a red jersey, possibly from USC. I remember the guy wanting a ridiculous price for it. Is he still around? I'm sure that since the reunion with slash, this isn't worth near as much, but I'd still love to see it. Anybody have any info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caught_in_a_Coma Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Nugunz is such an interesting thing. So much division on support and views. Some see tragically wasted potential on their lack of original music. Some see tragically wasted potential on Axl, Slash and the other members being estranged (specifically on making music together) for many years. What an interesting topic 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riddick Bowe Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 lukepowell1988 contacted me last year asking if I was still interesting in the footage. He claimed he was in contact with somebody in NY who had the footage and the price was 1000 dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a rehearsal footage on youtube a few years back, but it was like for 10 to 20 seconds or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombux Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 yes, only that "teaser" ever got out. the guy who owns the footage then pulled out of the deal (supposedly got mad because the trader shared this snippet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did he get the footage from? In that snippet I remember the "MTV" Logo was there, so was it aired after/before the show and this guy recorded it? or he worked in MTV and somehow got the footage?

jamillos Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Let him send you a snippet. A snippet or it didn't happen... I actually remember that. A bit of Maddy and then Axl says to the soundman something containing "cause I can't read lips". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -W.A.R- Posted September 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) a $1000 is abused. even $10 would be pushing it as its worth nothing. stop being a pseudo-businessman and put the footage out you cunt.

TheSeeker Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I have no desire to see this anymore IIRC it was from a bootleg DVD set that someone at MTV put together with all the GNR master footage they could find from MTV's vaults Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamillos Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Yep, in 2006 he called it "catastrophe", although I don't think he was exclusively referring to his voice. Anyway, I liked the mysteriousness by which the whole thing (and era) was surrounded. Other than that, it's the weirdest and weakest era in the history, no doubts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTV88 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Whomever has this needs to just release it already. There is clearly no monetary value in holding onto it any longer, as that era is, as it should be, dead. Personally, I want to see the rehearsal footage just to hear what a not-out-of-breath 2002 Axl would have sounded like on the VMA stage. IIRC, he was running down the street just to get to the venue due to the traffic. Well, not directly due to the traffic, really. He obviously could have gone to the show at a reasonable time. But then, that wasn't the Axl we knew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had seen GNR 9 months before this in LV at The Joint and they just played a had full of shows in Asia but were really under the radar and Axl was still like Bigfoot.

SWINGTRADER Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 What the fuck was he thinking? Hard to believe the Axl I saw last week was the same person as the weirdo in 2002. This is why the age argument never works. He was 40 years in 2002 and he looked and sounded the worst in his career. At 40 he should have still had his explosive voice. Thank goodness he was able to recover from that nightmare to make the "reunion" work. What a waste of time that entire era was. He should have just remained secluded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have just remained secluded. He was coming off a period of heavy depression. One of the early producers of the Chinese Democracy album (Youth maybe?) said he had to follow Axl around his house banging spoons together trying to coax Axl to sing - he was pretty far gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
