Estranged video WTF ?

[Irish gunner II]

I have watched this video a load of times but had time to watch it again today after a while and some of the things in the video are pointless IMO. Axl jumping off that ship, tanker thing. Sorry but makes no sense at all. And i think someone said that axl and slash werent in the same shot in that video and they were right. And matt in a bar or wherever it was. Again WTF ? And slash coming out of the water was pointless.

At the end it gives the definition of dillusioned(i think) and that was one way of putting things.

Sorry for ranting but does anybody think this besides me ?

slash coming out of the water was badass 

so is axl jumping off the ship

it may not make much sense but it looks cool and that's all it matters 

[Irish gunner II]

Never said it wasnt cool or class, but doesnt make sense and has nothing to do with the song.

[Jonathan]

Jesus christ! Listen to the lyrics!

[Irish gunner II]

I do listen to the lyrics but that video makes no sence half way thru.

The title of the song 'Estranged' explains the rest.

[Genesis]

And slash coming out of the water was pointless.

That's really cool though. Not everything needs to have a meaning. In that case, Slash climbing on top of a grand piano and throwing his guitar over a cliff is also pointless. But Cool!

why don't you try adding part 3 of the trilogy to your collection, it is the making of estranged axl explains the making of the video and what its all about, pretty much walks you through it!!!!

It's actually part. 4 of the 'Making of' Trilogy

[RichardNixon]

I think it's the coolest video ever.

[Rob]

I also think its a cool video.  I'm sure all the weird stuff has some sort of symbolic meaning, but the main thing is it looks cool.  Especially the parts with Slash.  When he rises from the ocean playing the solo...damn that's so fucking cool.  And when he's outside the Rainbow playing the other solo and he's like floating kinda.  That's badass too.

[Skeba]

If I remember correctly, the dude coming from the ocean is not even Slash, just a double. ..could be wrong though.

No, you' re right. You can see it in the "Making of Estranged" vid.

[Evolution]

The only thing that gets me is the damn CGI dolphin 

[Rob]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!  I don't know what to believe in anymore.

i always though they had him out for a joke or something.. but i dunno... i really wanna beleave that it really is slash...

cuz you see they are laughing they're arses of when he (the stunt man) comes over...

but what do i know? i just post here

[Bridge]

i think someone said that axl and slash werent in the same shot in that video and they were right.

Nope.  Axl and Slash are together during the concert footage.

If I remember correctly, the dude coming from the ocean is not even Slash, just a double. ..could be wrong though.

The guy emerging from the water was a stunt double.  But when he's standing there on top of the water playing, that's really Slash.

[Rob]

I guess that's acceptable.  I'm just gonna pretend its Slash the whole time.

  you are so right!  Sorry, I own them all and the whole time I never really paid attention think automatically it was 1,2, and 3, always thought of it that way due to 'Trilogy', I have probably made some silly convo thinking 4 was 3.  Oh well we're all entitled to have a little air on the brain sometimes....

Axl jumping of the boat is what I asumed desesperation and he doesn't want to be saved, at the end he was saved in many ways, thats the way I see it, why people can hear and see the video with the heart?
