The reason the "video" looked different, was because it was shot in HDTV, then down converted and broadcast in NTSC. HDTV has a film like quality to it. We the viewers are just not use to seeing it, so it appears strange. I remeber seeing a Bruce Springstien concert on HBO 2 years ago that had the same look, and it was also a live recording.
Havn't read this thread but half way . . . enough to say this:
MTV and everyone mentioned so far: corporate crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Garbage, packaged, crap, uninventive, unimaginative marketing strategies taking the form of music and style: step out of it and listen to something for an adult world .. . otherwise its all merely someone's idea of how to make some money
Can someone tell me what the second song was they played? First was "Welcome to the Jungle," third was "Paradise City," but I hadn't heard the middle song before. Anyone know?

We don't have any real hardcore GNR fans here? Axl does not claim that this is the old GNR. He says this is going to be more like a Nine Inch Nails industrial band. GNR is highly underrated and underappreciated. First they had Appetite, then they had the Western sounding Lies EP which was impressive coming from such a heavy band. When they came out with Use Your Illusion I & II, more ambitious classic rock was dying off. So it was a bad combination of taking something flaky like hair metal but doing it seriously and also coming out with really long ambitious songs reminiscent of the previous era when people were moving on to grunge. But the Illusion albums were amazing. Axl Rose is a serious artist and he's not going to make a lame attempt at anything. If stardom was his only goal, he could have made several mediocre albums in the last few years if he chose to. I think all the people with any real musical taste will be seriously surprised when Axl updates the bands sound.
