Chewy2 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Based on that Andy Morahan interview posted above my memory must be off. I could have sworn that was addressed in the Making of Estranged VHS and they said it was Axl, but seeing as I haven't seen that video in probably close to 25 years I'll have to assume that I'm not remembering correctly.

I’m sure there’s a lot of stuff they told Axl he couldn’t do, remember the SCOM video was suppose to be about a baby being stuffed with drugs or something strange like that haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but he swam endlessly with the dolphins through miles of the Pacific Ocean terrain, until they, along with a pack of mermaids escorted him back to the shores of Los Angeles.

megaguns1982 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 They definately insinuate that he did it himself on the making videos documentary. I always thought he jumped himself? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamillos Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 As far as I remember, it was a well-known fact that he did it himself back then. And that’s what I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killuridols Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 There's nothing in the Making Of Estranged video that indicates Axl himself jumped from that ship. He did the walking part and even standing up until the "about to jump" part but then they show a guy who's not him jumping off. Those legs aren't Axl's and also, no serious production would have allowed that to happen. Also, the other part swimming in the ocean was made in a big pool... it makes no sense to have him jumping from such heights and then creating a fake ocean to keep him safe.

Tori72 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Is it in the making of videos where they show Slash’s double who’s standing on water and all that? Also Axl got a swimming vest under his shirt that made him look being as wide as he is tall. lol You can’t see it when he’s swimming. Was there another documentary I watched or the making of videos. I also think I remember Axl saying they would not let him jump even though he wanted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do that too sometimes, that way you don't have to wash your clothes separately and you can wear them for another day without smelling like a dog. Why he didn't take off his bandana and shoes will remain a mystery, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think Slash has a stunt. That's himself but just like Axl, it's a pool with fake waves, not the real ocean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not slash, theres a video where slash says he will do it himself but the film guys tell him he wont like it and they bring in the double Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) First of all, who fucks gonna insure those mad cunts to do their own stunts, I mean can you imagine filling in the form? Pre-existing conditions: Cocaine and heroin addiction, rampant alcoholism, yeah, he'd be a shoe-in. There's probably a special Slash alarm in every insurance company across America, a fuckin' klaxon siren that went off everytime he tried to get his card stamped Last claim to date: Can't remember, I was pissed Edited October 24, 2018 by Len Cnut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The double was used to set it all up for safety/insurance reasons, but the actual video is Slash in the water. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't arguing, I was just saying my faded memory seemed to remember the Making of the video incorrectly. By the way your video's are awesome & you do a really great job with them. I've been binge watching them on Youtube this week. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
