Ugly_Kid_Jose Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 if i remember well the Estranged video was going to be part of the story told in "Don't cry" and "November rain", but Axl split with Stephanie and the video filmed was adapted to the new situation. Does anybody know more about the original idea of the videoclip? Thanks! P.d. Why was rhe video released months later TSI was published?

darkside259 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 By the time we got to “Estranged,” Axl had split up with Stephanie Seymour, and he said, “I never want a girl in a video again. I’d rather go out with a dolphin.” Which is why I put dolphins all over the video. I’ve been asked by students about the metaphorical imagery in those videos, and I’m like, “Fuck if I know.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post darkside259 Posted October 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) You know, when you see the video, it's not anything close to as hectic as it was, at the time. I got down to... We did it at Universal Studios, and I figured it would be in some sort of tank or something like that. And I get there and it's the "Jaws" set, right. Which is a huge lagoon, man-made lagoon. And they had... guys on jet-skis, huge hydraulic fans making the storm happen. That whole sky behind me, the backdrop. And the water was like, some, I don't know, ten below zero. I had to stand in it from eight in night to eight in the morning. All right, it's three lousy seconds out of the video. [laughs] […] I had like paramedics checking me for hypothermia and all that stuff. It was a nightmare. […] And then, you know, the video comes out and it's like, you pop out of the water and there you have it... guitar solo bit. And then it's over. […] And all of Axl's shots in the water were either in Miami or in 92-degree water tank SLASH- 97.7 HTZ-FM, January 1994 LOL HAHHAH Edited October 11, 2022 by darkside259 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sono arrivato a... L'abbiamo fatto agli Universal Studios, e ho pensato che sarebbe stato in una specie di serbatoio o qualcosa del genere. E ci arrivo ed è il set di "Jaws", giusto. Che è un'enorme laguna, laguna artificiale. E avevano... ragazzi in moto d'acqua, enormi ventilatori idraulici che facevano succedere la tempesta. Tutto quel cielo dietro di me, lo sfondo. E l'acqua era tipo, non so, dieci sotto zero. Ho dovuto starci dentro dalle otto di notte alle otto del mattino. Va bene, mancano tre pessimi secondi al video. [ride] […] I paramedici mi controllavano per ipotermia e tutto il resto. È stato un incubo. […] E poi, sai, il video esce ed è come se salti fuori dall'acqua e ce l'hai... un po' di assolo di chitarra. E poi è finita. […] E tutti i colpi di Axl in acqua erano a Miami o in un serbatoio d'acqua a 92 gradi SLASH -97.7 HTZ-FM, gennaio 1994 LOL HAHAHAH It was after this, that Slash decided to leave band 😂 Ps: all kidding aside, one of my favorite videos and song 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintari Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Why was Slash bitching about the water scene when it was a stunt double? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

©GnrPersia Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I don't know but man this Estranged, both audio and video, is like a wine that just gets better and better with age. Probably THE main reason that kept me being a fan all these years. Unlike many others, I got to know GNR first by Estranged. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankfurt93 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 when you come to thank of it...the guy saves his ass and then Axl replaces him with Frank fuc..n' Ferrer...!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old_school_gnr_fan Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I thought the Estranged video was pretty weak compared with Don't Cry, and especially, November Rain. Makes virtually no sense, and was filmed with a different camera that makes it look like a long public service announcement (my opinion). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
