GNR_RNR Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 It only took until 2022 but we finally got another GNR music video Agree that I hope the show isn't all edited like this but I assume it is not. On positive note the footage for this looks AMAZING and it is cool to see the band in it's absolute sloppy prime, not perfect but that somehow adds to how great they sound. Nice to see shots of the crowd and a little that looks like rehearsal footage as well. Only thing baffling to me is why include this release as part of the UYI boxset? I'd have made it a separate live album + Blu-ray release, there's only so much gold in this mine. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's deliberately included there to milk the fans who only want the Bluray so they will have to buy the entire boxset to be able to get it. You can't charge that amount for a seperate release, which will come later down the line anyway.

Popular Post axlvai Posted October 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2022 What a video!!!! Great for promotion. Im pretty sure this is a videoclip for promoting the UYI Box. And this video does the job perfectly. Good work!!!! Its a teaser. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris 55 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I don't get it. Why use a clip show from various performances but use full performance audio from a specific show to promote a box set where it's advertised that you can see the full un-interrupted show from the night the audio was recorded? What's wrong with just pulling the performance from the show and posting that? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all footage from various shows. The blu-ray is just from one night. Unless Axl was really committed to multiple outfit changes at one show.

It’s quite obvious and apparent. “Wanna see YCBM in full??? Just spend $250 you dipshit!” I forgot to throw in some cringe “f’ns”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycgunner Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 That video was awesome. For a time; they were the coolest band on the planet. The video even gives the feel of dangerous and Duff’s “no fucks given” Times have changed. Wish Axl still had a bit of that edge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystery Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Probably been suggested before but why not just try to recreate the music video with the upgraded source footage and use the studio version of the song? The footage seems very music video like already and it's obvious they'll likely never have the rights to the T-2 footage. A non-Terminator 2 YCBM video sounds better than live audio with footage that's from a bunch of different performances. Save the live audio with the actual video footage for people who buy the set. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Axl was really committed to multiple outfit changes at one show. What various shows? Maybe there's only some footage from Pantages, but I'm not so sure. Yes, Axl wore all these (and even more) outfits at the Ritz show (or at least almost all of them).

Blackstar Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 For me it's all very simple - as simple as it was with the AFD box set as well. Yes, it's expensive and all that, and it's bad that (for the time being) you have to buy the whole thing to get the blu-ray, and it's also a shame for the people who like to have everything in physical format. However, in this day and age, you can have access to everything without having to buy the physical product. So I'm very happy they're releasing this, because I know I'll have access to it regardless of whether I buy the box or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janrichmond Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I liked the video, they were younger, hotter and better. I'm looking forward to the Bluray 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleJosh Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I do find it interesting that the YouTube clip is 4K widescreen but I think the Bluray says it is 4:3 pillarboxed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would even actually be the point of mixing in footage from other shows, when you have footage of the entire show where it was played, I don't understand peoples logic sometimes.

Tom2112 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 5 hours ago, GNRfanMILO said: It’s literally that. People don’t seem to understand that this is just the new “official music video” for YCBM Live (as it says on their latest tweet). It’s essentially the Terminator video, with remastered visuals and the clips of the movie removed so they don’t have to pay royalties or whatever. It’s supposed to replace that video. They fucked up by marketing it as a “full live performance” though. But then again, the 15 second snippet was evident of what to expect. Obviously the Blu-ray will be just the normal concert. The music is live. How is it a fuck up saying 'full live performance'??? Also, this video is not meant to replace the studio video, that's just a moronic leap. Of course it reminds you of the Terminator video as it's the performance used, but you have to view the two things as separate... the way it's intended. Why the fuck would the splice in clips of T2 into the live video?? 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgnr Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Yes, it was not advertised right, I was really expecting YCBM live performance. But the quality is amazing, makes you wonder about all the great Illusions tour stuff they have in the vault 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, if it didn't see the light of day with this boxset, it's more than likely not going to see release anytime soon... although, GNR doing a similar thing to Aerosmith and releasing rare shows online would be excellent... but we all just want to see the documentary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverMachine Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) Having now watched the video (its been a busy day), I'm left wondering why they haven't made a bigger deal of the concert film. This footage is golden and looks strong enough to have been a proper standalone release rather than just an added extra in a box set. Dare I say it, but a limited cinema release would likely have been a success. Edited October 6, 2022 by SilverMachine 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Blu-Ray / digital release for a feature length film has far more scope for a bigger margin (if money is the objective). Furthermore, an exclusive release with a streaming partner like a Netflix or Apple - which I'm convinced they could have secured with this footage, could have also pulled in bigger bucks and gathered a great deal of new interest in the band. I really feel like they're under selling this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a conspiracy, just trying to figure out why one performance audio clip is being used over footage of various clips with wardrobe changes from band members, different guitars etc. when the performance of the same song with the same audio is being included in the box set as part of a single show.

Tourettes2400 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I am very glad they released this. They have so much footage that they recorded during this tour. I don't love it. I will probably get a copy of all versions online. When the price comes down to something that I consider a good deal then I will buy it. I mean, I got the whole L&L version for around $200 and some change, so I know I will be able to do that with this. I am just glad that they are putting anything "semi-new" out.

Someone said this earlier, but I think the purpose of the release of this music video, and the way it was edited, is to kind of be a "trailer" for the Ritz Bluray, to show footage from many parts of it not just what was filmed during one song. It really doesn't look as "exciting" to have a video of the band simply performing the song straight through, that's why it was made more like a movie trailer. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
