Guns N' Roses - Dead Horse

This is the music video to the song "Dead Horse" by Guns N' Roses. The song appears on the 1991 release "Use Your Illusion I".
The song starts out with a slow acoustic piece with a riff written by singer Axl Rose. Then the electric guitars hits with a much heavier sound which dominates the song until the end where the intro is reprised for another bar. The song ends with an effect of fast-forwarding the song.
The music video was made in 1993 and it features live footage and behind the scenes footage sliced together with fast edits and cuts. The video appears on the "Welcome to the Videos" compilation.
I think it's a very good song and a pretty good video, though some what a model that's been seen before. I like the grand scale of the song and the climatic end that then reprises into the intro repeated.

Enjoy ; )

Guns N' Roses - Bad Apples

This is the music video to the Guns N' Roses song "Bad Apples" from their "Use Your Illusion I" album. "Use Your Illusions" was a double release, two albums released at the same time. The albums were released in 1991, and were hugely successful. The albums were different from the band's earlier work in many ways. Their '87 release of "Appetite for Destruction" was much more in the category of classic hard rock. Where as these albums drew on many different influences such as classical music, traditional blues music and country. Of course still blending in their early sound. Axl started playing piano on several tracks, and the band did more ballads than they did hard rock.
"Bad Apples" is the 14th track on the record, it has only been performed live twice and according to Slash the song was written while the band was rehearsing in Chicago for a period of time.
I think it's a good song with a really good groove. The music video isn't their best, but it's still a pretty good song.

Guns N' Roses - Bad Obsession

This is a live performance by hard rock band Guns N' Roses, they perform the song "Bad Obsession" from their studio album "Use Your Illusion I". Use Your Illusion was a double release, meaning the band released two separate albums on the same date e.g. "Use Your Illusion I" and "Use Your Illusion II".
The song is a bluesy tune, with a slide guitar and added harmonica which are typical elements in blues arrangements, here used in a more rock 'n' roll kind of way.
I love the live versions of this, it's such a big production, with a horn section, Teddy Zig Zag on the harmonica and Slash soloing with a slide on the Travis Bean. A great song, and a great performance.

Enjoy ; )
