Popular Post downzy Posted May 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2018 The Garden in 1080. What a weird and wonderful video. I remember watching this back in '93 thinking that I guess they got to do videos for November Rain and Estranged was busy. But I liked it for its simplicity. It's great to watch it now and think how much NYC has changed. The grimy and grittiness captured in the video has largely been cleansed, so to speak. There are still some rough spots in Manhattan, but some of the feel depicted in this video is lone gone. Strange time and place and I think it worked well for the song. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GNRfanMILO Posted May 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2018 The alternate version (colored) of SCOM has been uploaded also in 1080p. From the old videos, the only one that now has 1080 is Paradise City. Same views as always, but now in 1080p. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tifalucis Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I'm thankful they finally released that version of SCOM music video. I watched that on Welcome to the Videos when I was younger but I couldn't find any good one on youtube till now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockphantom Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I do recall that the video for The Garden was directed by Del James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSeeker Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 They're transferring the videos for the Appetite Blu Ray and decided to redo them all since they had access to the masters The masters were 480p so it's not really a big deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amish Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Yeah, if the original videos were 480, you can't magically make them 1080. You can use certain contrast and hue tricks to make things seem sharper, but you can't really add graphical data to an image without physically redoing it pixel by pixel. Upscaling basically only makes something sharper and clearer so that it doesn't look like shit on a 1080p display. The image isn't actually 1080p. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite all time video too... It is a shame that they can't edit Sweet Child at this point to the full version of the song.. That would have been something cool to do for the Box Set.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't watched the SCOM video in a very long time, it looks pretty good. I remember watching that video when I was about 8 or 9 years old. Every time I turned it to MTV it was playing, if not, you would only have to wait a few minutes for it to be on. I remember thinking these guys are soooo cool! That was the start of my obsession. I also use to try to draw those tattoos on my arm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillBailey Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Haha letterbox videos... Must look so weird for today's kids! Paradise City with that Donington footage was pretty crazy at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31illusions Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 My memory says the Black & White video for SCOM is the Alt version not the colored. At least that's what I remember. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was written by the GN'R guys, if the chorus is by Axl, Del or West I'm not quite sure, but GN'R demoed it with West in the Hell house if I remember correctly Edited May 19, 2018 by youngswedishvinyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
