Guns N' Roses - Estranged
Another favorite. kind of a sad song but a beautiful song. The video is cheesy but I like it. The concert footage was from a show in Munich, Germany on June 26, 1993 one month before the Use Your Illusion tour ended after 26 months. Knowing that makes the video a little sad giving that band members went on record saying they hoped the tour would never end because they knew the band would be over once it did.
Guns N' Roses - Don't Cry
Another classic. Interesting notes as Izzy left right before the video and Gilby Clarke had yet to be hired so there's no rhythm guitarist. The band even joked about it with the "Where's Izzy" sign. Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon guests in the video. Sad irony is the end of the video showing Axl approaching his tombstone which states "1962-1990" implying Axl only lived to be 28. While thankfully the band has lived much longer, the same couldn't be said for Hoon who ironically did die at 28 in 1995 due to a cocaine overdose.
Guns N' Roses - November Rain
One of my favorite ballads as well as songs all together. Interesting note is that the video was reportedly inspired by the short story "Without You" from GnR Road Manager Del James. The story would appear in James' 1995 book "The Language of Fear" which Axl wrote the forward to.
Happy 25th Anniversary to the Guns n' Roses albums Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II which were released on this day in America in 1991 while being released a day earlier in the UK. The album was a rare case of a band releasing two studio albums the same day and I believe was the first where they went to the top 2 positions (Ironically I went to #2 while II went to #1). The albums were the first to feature drummer Matt Sorum (Steven Adler did drum on Civil War before being fired after reportedly needing 70 times to do the album due to his drug addictions), long time keyboardist DIzzy Reed (who has been the only one of the band never to have left and remained through it all), and the last to feature Izzy due to him leaving in November 1991. Guest artists included Alice Cooper and Blind Melon's Shannon Hoon. The double album, of course, proved to be the last album of original material until 2008's Chinese Democracy.
