    Is Estranged one of the worst videos of all time?

    GUNS N' ROSES - "ESTRANGED"

    When GNR first hit MTV in 1987, they were the antithesis of big-haired bubbleglam bands like Poison, Europe, and the aforementioned Warrant. But their sound soon bloated along with their egos, and by the time they released the bombastic and self-indulgent Use Your Illusion two-volume set, they'd become the polar opposite of the lean, mean, rock 'n' roll machine they once were. Their cast-of-thousands "November Rain" video, with its Stephanie Seymour wedding scene and jillion-piece orchestra, or "Don't Cry," with its pointless cliff-jumping car stunts and unexplained Shannon Hoon cameo, were OTT enough. But "Estranged" was their real big-budget shark-jumper, as it came complete with oil tankers and dolphins. Yes, dolphins. It also featured men in white coats coming to cart Axl Rose away to the funny-farm.

    Axl Rose Attacked with Bottles, Walks Off Stage

    in 2010

    In what the media sarcastically calls a victory of bottle-throwing fans (if that’s what they are), Axl Rose and Guns N’ Roses were bottled off stage 20 minutes into their set in Dublin.

    According to ongoing reports, Axl was unusually late, which made tension in the venue almost palpable – so much so that, when the band began to play “Welcome to the Jungle,” fans were already booing.

    Axl offered no apology for his being excessively late and did not even address the crowd, which reportedly made the fans lose their temper completely. So they started throwing plastic bottles at the stage, E! Online says.

    And that’s not the worst part: as Axl kept on trying to go on with the song, fans continued hurling objects at him – with some of the bottles being filled with what was believed to be urine.

    “Stop,” Axl said to his bandmates, before addressing the crowd to ask them to stop throwing stuff at him. Either that or he and the band would pack up and just leave, he offered them a deal.

    “All right, here’s the deal. One more bottle, we go home. It’s up to you. We would like to stay. You want us to stay?” Axl said.

    “We want to stay. We want to have some fun. You want to have fun? If you don’t want to have fun, all you gotta do is let us know, and we got no problem, we’ll go on our way,” he added.

    Fans did not want to have fun, one may say judging by how they reacted even to this offer.

    “Have a good evening,” Axl said once more into the microphone, before putting it down and just leaving the stage, accompanied by the entire band.

    To avoid a riot from starting (as it had happened at other GNR shows in the past), organizers took to the stage to tell the crowd they were having “technical difficulties” and needed a few more minutes to sort them out.

    Later, they changed their story, coming clean with the fans and telling them that Axl didn’t want to return to the stage.

    “We’re trying hard to get Axl to come back onstage. I would ask you please to refrain from throwing items at him. If you bear with us for five minutes… thank you for your patience, it’s appreciated,” an organizer said.

    “Well, five turned into nearly 60, but the group eventually – and contractually – returned to the stage. The promoter forced the volatile band to finish out its set, albeit to a much more scaled back (OK, nearly empty) venue,” E! notes.

    Contacted for comment, Rose’s management said it was only logical he would act this way since no normal person would stand to have “unknown substances” and bottles thrown at him.

    Sebastian Bach's new job: Axl Rose's bodyguard !

    If Sebastian Bach's music career ever truly flops (some would say it already has...), he can always get a job as Axl Rose's bodyguard.

    The former Skid Row frontman reportedly tackled a switchblade-wielding "mystery man" who showed up at Guns N' Roses' surprise gig at New York City's Gramercy Park Hotel on Sunday (Feb. 14).

    The New York Post reports the man walked into the venue while GN'R were performing, pulled out the switchblade and "flicked the blade out."

    Nothing says "Happy Valentine's Day" like getting a knife placed in your gut.

    "Sebastian, who was standing on a banquette, said: 'Nobody is getting anywhere near my man Axl Rose with a knife,' and went after him," a witness told the New York Post.

    "Security then immediately threw him out. The man appeared to be drunk. It was dealt with so quickly that none of the other guests or the band were aware of it."

    We think Bach and Jared Leto should form their very own SWAT team. Between Leto thwarting a would-be bomber (erm, I guess that's what you can call someone who's carrying a box full of candy and a blender?) and Bach tackling this guy, we think they can do anything... except make good music, of course.

    Axl Rose will get good protection from knife-wielding yahoos at these Guns N' Roses dates supported by Sebastian Bach:

    March 7 Brasilia, Brazil @ Ginasio Nilson Nelson Arena

    March 10 Belo Horizonte, Brazil @ Mineirinho Arena

    March 13 Sao Paulo, Brazil @ Estadio Do Palmeiras Stadium

    March 14 Rio De Janeiro, Brazil @ Parca Da Apoteose Stadium

    March 15 Porto Alegre, Brazil @ Ginasio Gigantinho Arena

    OK, very easy! You just need to put a sun glass on your right eye (not left eye), like this:

    ... and watch this video ;)

    PS. The sun glass should be very dark. The more it is dark, the more the effect will be great!

    Believe me! You don't need any 3D glasses, just need a piece of sun glass on your right eye! So everyone can make it work (I think all of you have your own sun glasses ;) )

    Let me know if it works :rolleyes:

    That is called "Pulfrich effect", you can read here:
