History2010 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) the end of the video says 1993 but I've never found any source referencing it's public existence earlier than 2009. So maybe it was finished way back in 93 and not released until way later? credits from the official Dailymotion upload: Film Editor: Louis Marciano Film Director: Andy Morahan Film Producer: Doug Goldstein Video Editor: Louis Marciano Video Director: Andy Morahan Video Producer: Doug Goldstein Edited July 31, 2018 by History2010 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy2 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 (edited) Well according to a Rolling Stone article from a couple of years ago it's an official video that was released in 2009. I don't know how accurate that is but it's the only information I've ever been able to find on it. Guns N’ Roses’ Videos, Ranked Worst to Best Quote One of Guns N' Roses' best songs is this overlooked gem, a catchy rocker buried towards the end of Use Your Illusion I. In 2009, 18 years after that album came out, "Bad Apples" got an official video for no apparent reason — but the clip simply consisted outtakes from the "Don't Cry" video, with the band playing on top of the Transamerica Center in Los Angeles. The footage was distorted and frame-dropped, in a half-assed effort to disguise its origin. Weirdest moment: Axl Rose singing into the same microphone as his friend Shannon Hoon, the lead singer of Blind Melon, who died in 1995, and doesn't even appear on "Bad Apples."

SoundOfAGun Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 The video is a complete waste of time, I wonder who greenlit the release? Also at a time where they could have dropped a video for a track from CD and maybe sold some more records. Wasn't a video for Better finished by this point?

UsedYourIllusion Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Much like the greatest hits album was a contract requirement, maybe this video was as well? Just thrown together, probably wasn’t seen as decent enough quality and kept on tape somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

©GnrPersia Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) EDIT: As GNR vids in YouTube are non existence these days, can't find link but yes IT IS in Making Fucking Videos, Don't Cry as Dont Cry (Alt. Version) footage And if we assume the band considers such videos as official Music Video, then there's also a music video for Double Talking Jive within Making of Estranged VHS.
