[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

looks like the audio dvd from the greatest hits cd

[Neemo]

are you sure it says it's a dvd with region code and display format....I say bullshit cuz they don't sell the YCBM video

and don't have videos for CW and KOHD

[Wando]

It's unofficial. It's Welcome To The Videos + Kohd (from Tokyo DCD, I assume) and You Could Be mine-video.

[WhatIsItMan]

I bought one.

[Neemo]

and i can't find it anywhere but ebay and all the sellers on ebay are in Korea...it's unofficial

Just what I've always wanted..... unofficial bootlegged rehash.

and don't have videos for CW and KOHD

KOHD from the Freddie Mercury Tribute was released as a vid and Civil War was released in Europe, it was just the live version from Tokyo 2-22-92.

how come they weren't on Welcome to the Videos then?

KOHD is prolly property of the AIDS benifit and YCBM is property of T2...this thing is a fake if it was real we'd know everything about it from release date to label to everything...IMo those two live vids were just given to MTV cuz they wanted more GnR stuff

like James said we already got welcome to the rehash on DVD...we don't need a fake korean golden rehash DVD too

[Neemo]

and this is such lovely packaging...i could see this being official...not

Correct. The KOHD video is on VH1 alot of the time, and they also occasionally play the Civil War video on GnR video Countdowns.

sorry I meant that they aren't truely music vids....just live performances of the songs...that's like saying that my michelle has a vid cuz it was played during the Ritz '88 show

Not really the same though. I mean yeah there just live performances with no storyline to the video, but  they are still played as official videos in the UK. They never just play some random song from some random concert, it's just those two as they were released. If you get what I mean

Neemo is correct. They're not videos. Its just MTV and other music channels wanting live footage of the band. Right before UYI came out, MTV had KOHD from Ritz 88 in heavy rotation. It was not a video.

Neemo is correct. They're not videos. Its just MTV and other music channels wanting live footage of the band. Right before UYI came out, MTV had KOHD from Ritz 88 in heavy rotation. It was not a video.

So when VH1 in the UK has for example "Top 10 GnR Music Videos" it has KOHD in then.

Not a live clip from "The Ritz", they put it in Music Video countdowns. KOHD is one of (if not the highest) chart entry GnR has had in the UK, and that is the video they used to promote the single.

Ritz KOHD used to make it on the top 10 requests of the day. That still doesn't make it a video.

Even though this is from wikipedia it will do for now.


Knockin' on Heaven's Door UK Chart #2. - I doubt the song could of gotten that high on the UK charts without a promo video.

Also:

All but eight of these music videos can be seen on the DVD compilation Welcome to the Videos, a re-release of a 1998 VHS title of the same name. "It's So Easy" was never publicly released. An alternate version of "Sweet Child O' Mine" was edited consisting solely of the "grainy" black-and-white footage that is seen interspersed between the normal color shots of the original video. "Don't Cry (Alternate Lyrics)" has aired on television in the past, and is basically just a rough cut of the "Don't Cry" video with an alternate audio track. "Civil War" was taken from the band's 1992 Tokyo show and is available on the Use Your Illusion I DVD release. "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" was taken from the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert and could not be included for legal reasons. "You Could Be Mine" features footage from the movie Terminator 2: Judgment Day and could not be included for legal reasons. The two videos from Live Era: '87-'93 aren't included because they were produced in 1999.

[Neemo]

whatever...you guys don't get what I'm saying...fine they are videos...I fucked up

although i was watching MTV as a 15 yo when all this happened....want my tape of 40 different MTV vids?

it has classics videos such as WTTJ '88 MTV awards, and the KOHD freddy mercury and the we will rock you and all of AFD on ritz and 92 NR MTV awards


they are not videos just live performances passed off as videos cuz MTV (and everywhere else) couldn't get enough GnR in 91 and 92

how is this audio DTS ? 
when the aduio wasnt 5.1 in the first place ...

[mikegray]

and this is such lovely packaging...i could see this being official...not

That's fucking hilarious. It's like a photoshopped version of... well... this...

[Tomorrows]

Bingo - apart from the YCBM and the crap packaging, that was the dead give away that this smells funny.

[JohnMorrison73]

the abba thing

-LMFAO! 

[WhatIsItMan]

So I got this, and it's just the videos with some of them being from the Tokyo DVDs (YCBM, Civil War, Wild Horses, KOHD).  I was at least hoping for the official YCBM video on DVD, but it's just a live version.  I would only recommend this DVD if you don't have Welcome To The Videos.
