Nosaj Thing Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Never liked SI except for a couple of songs, Down on the Farm being my favorite. Though when it was released, I don't remember the attitude about the album being that they were trying too hard. From what I remember (I was 23 at the time it was released) was that people were SICK AND TIRED of GnR. They were way over exposed, too many music videos from Illusions, they were on tv too much, in every magazine. I find it hard to believe they released a video for Estranged as late as Dec '93, a few weeks after TSI?, and that the single for Estranged was released in Jan '94. But I guess it was more common to milk singles off an album for years back then? I'm still surprised when I see an artist release their 7th single for an album they released 18 months before these days, think Eminem did it with Recovery and there's one other artist who did it recently who I can't currently recall.Some of the videos they did were not also released as singles. At least not in the states. Can't speak for elsewhereYeah, I didn't even know there was a video for The Garden until a few months ago, and I think Garden of Eden and Dead Horse were only physically released on that VHS?garden of eden and dead horse were played on mtv back thenthey also had a don't cry alt lyrics vid which was the same vid as the don't cry original! but i remember (and recorded) the world premiere of the alt lyric video debut!also garden of eden had 2 versions...one with lyrics scrolling along the bottom, the other withoutyesterdays also had 2 versionsand i think live and let die also had 2 versionsThis is why we should appreciate to have fans that were around when Guns N' Roses were in their heyday.Thank you for sharing that with us, Sixes.

Sometime ago I found a dvd/vhs player/recorder and I'm still in the process of burning all my old VHS bootlegs on dvd. The amount of money I spent on bootlegs in the 90s is embarrassing... 40 euro's for a 3 hour VHS tape, and I have about 100+ ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
