Amazon.co.uk Review
Welcome to the Videos provides 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 are 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

The Legacy of the best band ever!
If you are a Guns N Roses fan, you have to own this video. From the moment Axl gets off the bus with a piece of straw in his mouth at the start of the Welcome to the Jungle, you know that you're in for a rock rollercoaster of epic proportions! From the explosive introduction of GnR to the world with the video of Welcome to the Jungle, the on-stage antics of Paradise City, the epic November Rain to the appropriate end with Estranged, this video charts the career of the greatest Rock band of all time.

One glaring mistake though is the exclusion of 'You Could Be Mine", perhaps it is to do with the video being from T2, i dont know but that video has the best ending, when the band walk out of the door to meet Arnold Schwarzenegger.

A minor gripe as this video is still a must have, BUY IT NOW!!!

Good but not outstanding.
Although this video contains all the radio airplay songs that you would expect to be here, it's the ones that aren't here that let it down. The rarely seen video for 'It's so Easy' would have been an excellent inclusion as would 'Nightrain'. Who knows why these were not included? The other slight quibbles I have with this is the inclusion of the 'Sweet Child o' Mine' remix instead of the original and also the inclusion of 'Since I Don't Have You'. The last named is not a good note to end the video on and it just serves as a reminder that the beginning of the end was nigh. Apart from this, it's definately worth buying just for 'Estranged'.

The best
It starts with the classics like welcome to the jungle and sweet child and goes through to the epics such as november rain and estranged and you can clearly see the change of band members as time goes on, a must for any true guns n roses fan
