Bad Apples video


Recommended Posts

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?

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."

this video appears in one of the 3 official GNR VHS tapes titled "MAKING FUCKIN VIDEOS" released in the 90s

EDIT after @Tom-Ass and @RussTCB comments

I THINK this video appears in one of the 3 official GNR VHS tapes titled "MAKING FUCKIN VIDEOS" released in the 90s BUT @Tom-Ass and @RussTCB tell me otherwise so i may be mistaken

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.

Yeah the actual video portion is from the alternate version of Don't Cry on the Makin' Videos. 😏

yes, but then they kind of took the video and overdubbed it with Bad Apples audio. weird shit.
