Here's a baker's dozen of Guns N' Roses' most explosive and memorable music videos from 1987 to 1993, and what a lesson they provide in the early evolution of visual style on MTV. Looking back, it seems Guns N' Roses embraced almost every "type" of music-video setting: "Welcome to the Jungle," for instance, finds rapid images of the band's stage performance interspersed with a semi-narrative featuring Axle Rose as a newcomer to the big bad city. "Paradise City" is set against an arena sound check, while "Sweet Child O' Mine" is structured around the now-threadbare idea of a video documentary about a video production. A couple of obsessive themes emerge from this anthology, the starkest involving love and watery deaths ("Don't Cry" and "November Rain"). Most interesting is the opiate-like distortions of "The Garden" and the surreal "Since I Don't Have You," starring Gary Oldman as a grinning devil. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews

ALL IN ONE PACKAGE
This video contains almost every Guns video ever made. They might have omitted 1 or 2 and i can't think of which ones they are. Ohh, the video You Could Be Mine is not here, and thats a crying shame because it's a cool vid flick. Anyway, all their epics from Illusion CD's are here. November Rain, Estranged, and Don't Cry among other videos from both those albums. Patience from Lies and Sine I Don't Have You from the Spag. Incident are also included. But the real keepers are their most awesome videos off of Appetite. Welcome to the Jungle, Sweet Child of Mine and Paradise City are worth owning alone. They all bring back fond, bittersweet memories of what metal and videos were like in the Rockin' 80's.

Cool collection of almost every G N' R music video released.

Welcome to the videos review
I've had a chance to see Welcome to the Videos. I thought it was excellent. It contained all of GNR'S most popular songs/videos. This video contained more than just GNR in concert footage. The videos for November Rain, Don't you Cry and Estranged contained themes and storylines. As a matter of fact, the videos attached to these songs helped me understand them better. I really liked the dolphins in Estranged! This video brought back some really good memories and I'm hoping GNR will overcome their personal differences and start recording again. Of course, being a true Axl fan, I enjoyed seeing him in the videos but most of all, appreciate his song writing ability and his ability to express himself in a sensitive way, especially in estranged. The quality of this video is excellent. There is concert footage, but the songs are as they were recorded on the albums they came from. I know you will love Welcome To The Videos!
