Anyone can guess what the reason it was not ever released was?Does Axl have official or unofficial but stated plans for a new video?

Anyone can guess what the reason it was not ever released was?Does Axl have official or unofficial but stated plans for a new video?I think Axl intended for the video to be live shots of the band no matter what. Maybe he just hated the quality, and because of mixed reactions towards chinese at the time, figured it wouldn't be worth the public abuse to release it. Makes sense to me becxause at the time he wanted to release it, the album had just been released and he was in here chatting it up with the fans. So figure..

And no- Axl doesn't have any plans for shit. He just tours & tours and has a list of 30-35 songs and plays 25 or so most nights. And mixes in these "jams" for God knows why, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ppruks Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) There was a treatment for an animation... the story had something to do with a bird... one of the themes was 'love lost' if I remember correctly. I don't remember his name, but a well-established director was supposed to make it. I saw a reply to an e-mail some fan sent him asking about the video and he said that he had a treatment written , but unfortunately it didn't work out... for whatever reasonhe did say it was a beautiful story and having seen the live video I'm sure it would've been a better fit for the song...the unreleased live video imo is not up to par with the high quality videos that Gn'R released it the past and I'm glad that it was never released...as a die hard fan it was cool to see the live footage though Edited October 15, 2012 by ppruks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone can guess what the reason it was not ever released was?Does Axl have official or unofficial but stated plans for a new video?IMO the video never came out because the band had different members . There was no brain, fink or bucket - why release a video of live shots of member that are no longer in the band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepfreeze Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I think the video wasn't released because they knew it could use better music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only discluding Dj so just don't think it was that big of a deal. IMO they should have released it no matter what. That video doesn't make things any worse, just gives ya a headache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axl666 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Someone on this board said that a while back they thought the bettermusic video (as leaked) was the type of thing that would havebeen a bonus on the CD disc to introduce people to the new band, rather thana music video that would be released to music channels. That made senseto me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I could see it being run in stores. When you watch a music video, they don't put the band logo on there and show band member names on it, esp. ones no longer in the band. It looks like a promotion for "Chinese Democracy". Now when bands have a new song out, they'll put something out there with the words running across the screen. Some of them look pretty cool, actually. I wish Axl said he was debating on putting it out instead of saying he WAS going to put it out. I guess he didn't want to bother with it and just let it disappear altogether, but they should have said why they shelved it. It can't be called an "official" video because it's "unreleased". "It's So Easy" isn't an "official" video, but it's pretty tame stuff and I could see it being released, maybe a revamp of "Welcome to the Videos". Maybe the animation was going to take too long and be too costly. The post-production studio that did the video was in its infancy - had he gone to them now, they'd prob. want way more money. He prob. could've had some Art Institute kids do it for the credit though and have it done in 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mendosa Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 mendosa is not finck6. finck6 is queenie, aka queeno666, aka kenshin, aka vegeta6.yeah i am not finck6 aka queenie, but I love the way he posts and cupcake you with Mr robin FinckMaybe the animation was going to take too long and be too costly.
