I remember seeing the Rolling Stones concert they played in theatres a while back, it was quite awesome.

And why wouldn't it be - big ass HD screen and brilliant sound, thats how concert footage should be enjoyed.

I can't really see how anyone thought this was a good idea.

1. I can't imagine there's much of a market anywhere in the world for pre-recorded concerts in movie theaters

2. It's Guns N' Roses, not a big popular pop act that kids are willing to go watch

3. It's New GNR, a band perceived as a joke by the general public

4. Axl sounded awful in the trailers

2 to 4 I agree on, but not number 1. Concerts in cinemas can be a very, very cool experience. And although such events will never generate income like movies, they are cool events with relatively small costs that lure people in the cinemas and remind them of them; a critical aspect for the cinemas nowadays.

With the popularity of the german Rock am Ring show from 2006 I don't see how a theatrical screening of a Guns show would tank because of lack of interest

Well, the day before the cancellation, 7 seats were sold in the specific cinema I had tickets for. :/

I don't really know the frontlines here, so maybe I miss a joke, but I've been posting here for years. If you don't trust the text, check this link http://www.uci-kinow...wsEvents/3591/5 It's the cinema chains website and not's not too hard to translate "Abgesagt".

Even concerts from the past get cancelled.

I was suspicious of a fun mail too, but the official site says the same,

Just got his official email, saying that the shows in German cinemas is cancelled due to claims of "copyrightholders and band management".

Aye, cancelled indeed: http://www.uci-kinowelt.de/Bad_Oeynhausen/Programm/NewsEvents/3591/5

People still get their hopes up because of stuff like this?

I'll be a drooling happy bunny once new music is released in whatever way, but expecting such a release because of a tweet, FB post, interview, whatever? Nobody who followed this band in the last 15 years should be so stu...optimistic.

I think "Love me two times" could be veeery interesting...

I know exactly what you mean, but I think Axl would be able to successfully combine a Doors melody on one hand with his personal musical style on the other hand. I wouldn't have thought that Knockin on Heaven's Door would be a great GNR tune - until they made it.

So I'd simply be optimistic.

I don't know shit about if or not there is such a recording, but I know that I would love to hear Axl cover anything from the Doors. Would be a brilliant mixture.

Who cares for the voice, I hope he brings back the yellow rain coat!

No Chinese Democracy material in the trailer? Poor choice. :/

I'd love to see Axl on the Daily Show.

Buckets were came.

Wow. Listen to this preview. Not bad at all! In fact its good!

yeah it's great. good job Dj

I dig.

Me likey.

Wouldn't make any sense to release this now... People being replaced and Axl getting from

this:

to this:

The 2006 style was soooo much better; personally I don't get what people see in the 201X style.

very bad video compared to the ones made by the real gnr

it looks so amateurish, like everything related to fakegnr

Helllo. I wash rinse and repeat everything every other negative asshole says. Nice to meet you.

Dude, go watch Paradise City, then watch this. It follows almost the exact same fucking formula. Get your head out of your ass and your life out of your parents' basement.

great post

But the same recipe leads to a fundamentally different dish when it's done by an chef and an amateur. Of course it's the same principle, nothing to say against that. It's just badly done. I guess it's just a test, a visualization how the finished product SHOULD have looked.

So, then it's not really about the type of video? It's about the band?

Really, this isn't any different conceptually than the "Dead Horse" video, which was a live/rehearsal footage video done by the old band.

Ali

Hi Ali,seems some can't do without their daily drama and dose of negativity.

There is no pleasing some people,nothing .will ever measure up to their unjustified and unrealistic expectations.

Funny how some of the most rabid ones either weren't around for the earlier lineup,and have never seen the current lineup live,basing their almighty opinions on Utube videos

No, it's not about the band. It's just a cinematically bad video , that's what I meant with test - a test version by a cinematics company. Nothing bad about the concept of a performance/backstage video, I love it. But it has to be done properly. And while "Paradise City" had quality footage, good editing, rhythm, vibe and style, the "Better" video lacks all of it. Not the bands fault, though, of course.

But expecting such basic craftmanship in a video is neither "unjustified" nor "unrealistic". A great band like Guns deserves great videos, made by good creative artists. And this video doesn't fulfill these standards - which very well may be the reason it never saw the light of day. Which would make the Guns camp a place of rabid negativity...

I always had high hopes for the Better video, but this was ... abysmal.

Well, it fits that it surfaces around the Vegas residency. Somehow everything exciting is vanishing...

Who in the world would call his own band his favourite band?

Mentor?

I'm drained too Bumblefoot. Drained from listening to you complain you ungrateful chode. He is in the best band in the world and would be nothing without Axl Rose. Shut the fuck up.

You are aware of the fact that Bumble had a career and was a well known and respected artist before Guns N' Roses?

Maybe they'll release it with the Better video.

With an extra cd with the finished oh my god and silkworms.

and with the 2010's documentary...

and with the use your illusion tour footage that was recorded

and with the house of blues DVD.

And the re-released Chidem with proper booklet and artwork.

And the other two Chinese democracy albums

And the Chidem remix album.
