*

Note: When a round ended in a tie,  the votes in the other rounds were taken into account and the song with the bigger sum of votes was the one that got eliminated (it happened three times, in rounds 8, 10 and 14).

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

Thanks so much for doing these, @Blackstar. Very fun coming into these threads, debating the music among fans, etc. 

Also, "The Garden" was robbed.

I also like how you get kicked out of your comfort thought box and learn something new every day - like the fact that people will go ahead and vote out the Paradise City video before 3 other songs!

I agree. Much healthier than talking about Team Brazil or arguing with those who believe GNR shows in 2022 is better than ever before.

And yes, The Garden deserved better.

I won't do another survivor poll (at least for a while), but if anyone else wants to start one, AXL/DC is an idea.

What about the album & single artwork?

Yes, that has been one of the suggestions as well. I'd probably do this one next if I did another poll, but someone else can do it.

I would love "best GNR guitarist" poll.
I want to know who will get the 2nd & 3rd spot!

I imagine it's a lot of commitment doing one of those. Fair play to you and thankyou for doing them

A bit too late, but I just realized that there was a video for the Days of Thunder version of KOHD with scenes from the movie and from the SCOM video. I don't think it was an official release by the band, but it was apparently shown on MTV (it can be found on youtube). Does anyone remember seeing it on MTV back then?

No but I remember vividly they often played Civil War from Tokyo on MTV, as if it was a normal official video. Plus KOHD, but don't remember which version and it wasn't as frequent.
