Guns N' Roses Debuts on DVD With Releases of WELCOME TO THE VIDEOS Featuring All the Band's Videos and Two Concert USE YOUR ILLUSION WORLD TOUR Home Videos
Wednesday October 15, 10:00 am ET

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Guns N' Roses are finally, officially, on DVD with the first-time releases on the format of WELCOME TO THE VIDEOS and the concert performances USE YOUR ILLUSION I: WORLD TOUR - 1992 IN TOKYO and USE YOUR ILLUSION II: WORLD TOUR - 1992 IN TOKYO (Geffen/UMe), released October 28, 2003.

WELCOME TO THE VIDEOS, originally released on VHS in 1998, features all 13 GN'R videos seen on MTV, some of the most popular and acclaimed videos ever aired, from the burst-of-energy "Welcome To The Jungle" to the inspired "November Rain" to the epic "Estranged." The music videos to six Top 10 hits, four of them gold, are included in the 70-minute compilation. Whether filled with concert and behind-the-scenes footage, performances-for-video or powerfully evocative narratives, Guns N' Roses music videos have been among the most emotionally provocative in rock.

A winner of the prestigious Video Vanguard Award from the MTV Video Music Awards, the band's video history began with a 1988 MTV Award as Best New Artist for "Welcome To The Jungle" (#7). The following year, "Sweet Child O' Mine" (gold and the group's only #1) won for Best Metal/Hard Rock Video. Both videos, as well as the next two, "Paradise City" (1988, #5) and "Patience" (1989, #4 and gold), were directed by music video pioneer Nigel Dick.

In 1991, GN'R expanded their repertoire with more grandiose videos directed by many-time MTV Award-winner Andy Morahan. For "Don't Cry" (#10, gold), the narrative was mixed with a rooftop performance (including the late Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon). After the band's cover of Paul and Linda McCartney's "Live And Let Die" (1991, Top 40), Morahan helmed "November Rain" (#3, gold). At the 1992 VMAs, the video won three awards, for Best Cinematography, Best Special Effects, and Best Editing -- and, most significantly, GN'R won the Video Vanguard Award.

Morahan then directed 1992's "Yesterdays" and "Garden Of Eden" and 1993's "Estranged." A massive undertaking, "Estranged" was shot all over the world, from a live performance in Munich, Germany, to a supertanker off Texas to a swim-with-the-dolphins experience in the Bahamas to the Sunset Strip.

In 1992, Guns N' Roses debuted on home video with USE YOUR ILLUSION WORLD TOUR - 1992 IN TOKYO presented in two separate packages, I and II. Each is a collection of live performances of their best-known songs. Unique to these videos are performances of Bob Dylan's "Knockin' On Heaven's Door," the theme from THE GODFATHER and one hell of a Drum and Guitar Solo. Each USE YOUR ILLUSION video was certified gold.

Now the original band is seen and heard once again on DVD geared to long time fans as well as the new ones discovering one of the most influential rock bands of all time -- Guns N' Roses.

This is interesting.  Perhaps Geffen's marketing machine is starting to warm up...

Maybe we'll get lucky and there will be some decent "Easter Eggs" on the DVD's.... I doubt there will, but one never knows!

They were on Amazon for pre-order at 9.99 each. Now they're not there. They were on Best Buy cheaper than they are now; they are 17.99 each. What the hell happened!!!

Yeah that sucks. It would have been cool if they had every version of the videos that have more than one and ever video ever made even I Don't Care About You if it was made or not. This is still good news. I'm going to buy them even those I have them on vhs.  ok

Apparently there will be no bonuses :

From Blabbermouth.net:
 
GUNS N' ROSES: No Bonus Material Included On Forthcoming DVDs - Oct. 15, 2003
 
  GUNS N' ROSES' forthcoming DVD editions of the 1998 home video "Welcome to the Videos", plus the separate 1992 home videos "Use Your Illusion I" and "Use Your Illusion II: World Tour - 1992 in Tokyo" will include no bonus features not available on the original VHS releases, according to Billboard.com.
 
Due on October 28 through Geffen, "Welcome to the Videos" rounds up clips for such favorites as "Welcome to the Jungle", "Sweet Child O' Mine", "Patience", "Don't Cry" and GNR's cover of WINGS' "Live and Let Die". The "Use Your Illusion" videos chronicle Tokyo performances from the tour in support of the two-part 1991 album of the same name, which debuted on the same day at No. 1 and 2 on The Billboard 200.

So Axl, when are we getting a new album- 2023?! ;)

OK I can take the no new bonus stuff or YCBM, but releasing the UYI Tokyo concert on 2 separate DVDs is a plain attempt to get more money.  Geffen disgusts me.  Tokyo '92 can easily fit unto a single DVD and would be generally a better viewing experience not having to switch DVDs in between.

At this rate I'd be surprised if the DVDs have a menu with song selection.  Roll Eyes

I won't be in a hurry to get these I think - they are probably just a straight transfer without remastering the sound or video.

I have UYI on Brazilian DVD, and I have a VCD of Welcome to the Videos, so I won't be purchasing these unless they offer extra features.
