yes it is pretty long, but I couldn't think of any other way. I mean the whole Ritz 88' show is included and I had to give lies, Uyi, cd, vr, and slash's album their fair dues as well. next thing I knew it was really long. I didn't make this for casual fans, I made it for die hards, like us that come to this site. It is really interesting to see how they went from playing an LA club like the clip that I posted, to playing the Ritz, then headlining on the Illusions tours, to being a major part of video music awards, Freddie Mercury concert, to pretty much imploding. Then Axl reappears at RiR 3 with the new band, VR is born, The 06' tour, VR dies, then CD is released, and Slash goes solo. I just couldn't help but show everything, it's just all so damn good, and it allows the viewer to decide who was right, who was wrong, and which bands were better. After viewing the whole thing I gotta say VR really wasn't all that good. I know it's just my opinion, but they are the worst part of the whole set. I think it's a combination of Dave Kushner and Scott Weiland, cause the other three were awesome in gnr. But I have a clip of VR doing used to love her and when you compare it to new gnr doing the same song, it just seems off to me. If I had to rate every band I would say
1. Appetite era gnr
2. Illusion era gnr
3. Current gnr
4. Slash's current band
5. 06' gnr
6. 02' gnr
7. VR
Don't get me wrong, I love the RiR3 show, but that band just doesn't click just right IMO. Buckethead is amazing, but Fick and Tobias just don't mesh or something.
