StrangerInThisTown Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Considering a comeback GNR album would be quite massive, do you guys think Axl would again want something "epic" or rather overblown in terms of music video again? I seem to remember an interview with Slash from around the time WOF came out where Slash said he isn't into making music videos anymore, and Axl hasnt done any for CD right? Except the unreleased Better one? It will be interesting to see which route they will go. For some reason I can't imagine them just doing a live performance video like SCOM these days, surely it will be something more accomplished? Or just do lyric videos like WOF? What do you guys think?

Dean Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Something sort of similar to Yesterdays would be really cool to see, but if they were to do a video for any potential new music, I'd imagine it'd be a short film that didn't involve the band in it, like the Catcher video. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derick Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 IDK..We are no longer in the MTV era. Nowadays videos have little relevance when compared to the late 80s and part of the 90s. They can make one or two videos to help promote a supposed album or music but I don’t believe that we’ll have things like the trilogy or even like Jungle, it’s not worth the investment, IMO. People don’t talk about videos anymore..Maybe it’s a good thing to the fans but casuals and mídia don’t care that much..at least not like the 80’s or 90’s. I can’t imagine Axl acting in a video like NR or Estranged, it would be weird AF! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonah Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 It would be concert clips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendez Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) We know that Axl had Mickey Rourke agree to play the shackler for Shacklers Revenge if a video was ever made (in exchange for offering a discounted price to use SCOM in "The Wrestler"), so I'm guessing Axl would still like to make a story based music video in addition to making a MV using just live video clips (as was made for Better) Edited January 31, 2018 by Mendez 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soon Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Id love it to be a Home Shopping Network spoof of them selling all their wares, along with live footage and cameos. More likely a concert based video with back stage stuff and hopefully a shot at Trump. And the obligatory shot of them getting on or off their plane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downzy Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Probably something abstract with quick shots of them on stage. Maybe do something similar to what STP did for the song Down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must have been reasoning for hiring a film crew for this footage, not just to be used on the big screens at shows. 4 hours ago, Raykugen said: catcher video?

There is nothing little about billion views, i would say they are even more revelant now and you dont need MTV anymore to decide when your video will be played, people can watch a video they love as much as they want. Despacito is the biggest YT video ever with almost 5 billion views!! Music videos are the most warched videos on YT by far. And thanks to the internet and digital expansion worldwide helping them reach these insane numbers, they are getting a little more well made, more cinematic and 'artsy' again in the last years, which is a relief since with the fall of MTV and before the actual state of internet access around the world they really got very expendable and mediocre, but things are getting better. But funny enough, new videos by legendary bands and artists have laughably low views compared to any video by a young artist, 10, 20, 30 mi... rarely above that, the most successful are the ones who for some reason resonate a little more with the kids, i think... But at least classics like NR are still being watched and discovered by the kids, timeless art. NR will be the first music video not made in the 21st century to reach a billion views, i think they can easily make an impact with new music videos, but they need to show a little more effort to get there, new music would be a start. lol Edited February 1, 2018 by Rickodez 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I´m wrong in not to consider the power of platforms like Youtube have. I´m old and I'm stuck in the past and in that AFD/Trilogy/MTV thing, my bad. But yes, I´ve read something about this Despacito video and also something about Adele too I just for some reason didn´t associate this with GNR but, in fact, those videos helped a lot to promote those songs. I don´t know about oldies rock bands like GNR but if they make a kickass video to put on Youtube they can have good results, not like those pop artists but something that can help in publicity..Youtube is everywhere! Well, I changed my mind so I hope that Axl & Cia will be inspired and make good videos to promote an eventual album. Contrary to what I said before, it may be worth the investment and it may be a good market strategy to sell the album. P.D.: Regarding the matter...Thanks for bringing me back to the present!

AncientEvil80 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 With the current line-up? Gosh, I hope they'd have the sense NOT to do any video content. It would be embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 When we are finished discussing a hypothetical video to a hypothetical song from a hypothetical record, I think we should discuss hypothetical details of this hypothetical song. Will it be written in dropped D tuning? Will it include a coda? Do you think it will have Axl whistling in it? Or feature sound clips from Cold Hand Luke? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 44 minutes ago, Oldest Goat said: Yeah, they should keep it lowkey/humorous/fun (depending on the tone of the music, I'm picturing something tongue and cheek like VR's She Builds Quick Machines) and just post it to YouTube and their social media. The video could tie into a movie and be featured in said movie. Get the film company to pay them for their new song to be featured in their film and have them also pay for production. For example if there's another Night At The Museum movie, our boys could be attractions frozen in the museum, maybe even in dinosaur/fossil outfits and then they come alive with the music. Dude, that is inspired! Fossils in a museum coming back to life! That would be so great. And the big budget movie used for video; it all makes sense.

Popular Post gnfnrs1972 Posted February 3, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2018 I think it should start off with Axl in a hospital bed with his feet up in stirrups grunting and groaning. Duff is standing beside him holding his hand yelling PUSH AXL PUSH! Then the camera pans down to Axl's ass and Slash crawls out of it holding the new album in his hand. They all embrace and cry. Then they rip in to playing the new single while money is raining from the sky. After they finish playing the song Beta walks across the stage sweeping up the money. Its sorta like the short version of the last 20 years. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
