Okay along with their music, they had some of the most awesome videos in recent history. Though somethings about their videos bug me to no end:
How the hell does Axl's girlfriend Stephine Seymore dies in the "November Rain" video? What the heck is Slash standing on in "Estranged", when he is moving/floating on the street scene? Axl's obsession with water went to far in "Since I Don't Have You" How little or no air-play their video for "Garden Of Eden" gets, its one of their best stuff!
Okay, I ragged and ranted and finally got it out of my system. <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

Here I come to save the day......!

Answers to the GN'R videos q's.

In "November Rain", Stephaine Seymour's character commits suicide by a gunshot to the head. The video is based on the short story "Without You" by Del James & the girls "Elizabeth" in the book, commits suicide because she can't live w/"Mane" (Axl's character) or without him.

In "Estranged" Slash is on a sliding board thing, sort of like a surfboard on railraod tracks. It's on tracks by the way & he was being pulled by other production members on the set. I think it's supposed to represent all the changes GN'R have gone through since they first started.


Love to all!!

I think the water thing came from the fact that they were sick of bad relationships, and said "we'd rather have dolphins in the videos than women", so they actually did have dolphins in the vid's. <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

I've also wondered why The Garden video never got much air-play.Maybe it was just too gritty for the average viewer.I also thought the video for patience was great(I've always wanted to stomp the crap out of a neon phone,I've always hatred those things)

Well the only GNR video I ever saw was November Rain and I had always wondered how she died too. I thought it had something to do with an accident during the weddin scene when it starts pouring. How was I supposed to know she killed herself? They don't show it in the video.
