Welcome To The Jungle Live Era is gone...

Round 2 - Better (2008) [UNRELEASED]

Round 3 - I Don't Care About You (1994) [UNRELEASED]

Round 4 - My Michelle (1991) [UNRELEASED]

Round 5 - Mr. Brownstone (1991) [UNRELEASED]

Round 6 - It's So Easy - Live Era version (1999)

Round 7 - Welcome To The Jungle - Live Era version (1999)

Round 8 - ?

.......

Round 23 - ?

The two versions of Sweet Child O' Mine:

Spoiler

Black & White version:

Alternate version:

 

* I didn't include the three versions of Garden Of Eden separately, because the differences are insignificant and it's basically the same video.

Too bad... I like the Live Era version of WTTJ.

Voted for Since I Don't Have You.

This is quite shocking for me. I consider the WTTJ live era video one of their best. It's so bad ass.

WTTJ live era was the only cool video I ever saw on TRL back in day. Well being honest, I didn’t mind the Brittany videos either, but that was for another reason

Since I Don't Have You is one of my favorite videos, at least in the top 5.

How is Garden Of Eden still in this? It should've been gone before the Live Era videos at least.

I'm curious why people vote for the original edit of It's So Easy (especially in relation to the released version). Yes, the L&L version is better edited, but the original has cooler shots, imo. Apart from the shots, the biggest difference between the two are the scenes of Axl in the limo that make the L&L version a bit cheesy - although, on the other hand, they make it more tongue-in-cheek whereas the original edit is darker.

I like it. I think it's a fun video based on simple and clever idea.

I voted for ISE just to keep SIDHY.

It's fun, and definitely simple, but I'm surprised all the 'live' videos are going first. Live shots of a band are more entertaining than a continuous shot of the band in a 'rehearsal space'... although Dizzy in the background is entertaining

Dizzy and Teddy

I guess it's because they have many "live" videos and some are better than others.

Personally, though, I prefer a "directed" performance in a rehearsal space or live footage taken from a single show (with shots taken specifically for the video) than a mix of random footage from various shows used as a video for a studio recording.

I agree, it's a cool vid. Wasn't made at the same time as Yesterdays?

Yes, they were shot at the same time, during the break of the tour with Metallica.

Sometimes less is more. Garden Of Eden was released at a time the band was releasing videos of epic proportions. Being so simple makes it stand out

[Blackstar]

It's So Easy original edit and Since I Don't Have You are tied with 12 votes each, and the poll closes in 10 minutes.

If it stays that way, I'll apply the same "rule" as in the other poll: the one with the bigger sum of votes in all rounds is the one that gets eliminated, and in this case it's Since I Don't Have You.
