This I Love "official" video

[hairy-balls]

probably fanmade as i haven't heard of a This I Love video but still, looks pretty good. though to be honest I'd rather have had Finck playing the solo than to see Ashba there.

according to wikipedia this video actually is official, as is the leaked Better video, but neither of the two of them are on the band's website for some reason.

there's also a leaked Catcher In the Rye video that was proven to be official since the band used to play it on their screens behind them when they would perform the song live.

and there's also the alternate Better video with footage of the current line-up instead of the 2006 band. A few seconds of it were posted on the band's official Facebook not too long ago.

So these are all the official videos that I know of. None of them were ever actually released, but they're all real. Am I missing any?

what about the Madagascar video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nIj_58Xi3s

why the fucking fuck would/did they not release these and promote them? had they done that and appeared in 2 or 3 big video interviews while they did this routinive tour? 

New Guns might actually have come across as a half-respectable band for a change and Axl's reputation might have turned up a little from this joke it is today.

Not that it matters, but I'm pretty sure that Maddy video is fan made.

As far as why hasn't Axl and co. actually released any video at all, I'm guessing it has to do with management issues dating back to when Axl claimed Azoff was trying to force him into an old-lineup reunion.

Axl also said in his That Metal Show interview from 2011 that one of the reasons they hadn't done videos yet was cause he wanted fans to visualize the songs in their own ways first.

Maybe the upcoming blu-ray will have music videos. That'd be cool.

well no promotion has turned them/him into a joke.

as a fan, I agree because I want him to be at least a little more respected than he is. I think he's slightly misunderstood and proper promotion would have healed at least a little of that.

But as an artist, I honestly don't care how successful the record was or wasn't. Art isn't supposed to be about promotion. Self-satisfaction is really the only important part.

I'm also kind of glad the record sort-of failed cause I think he should'nt of kept the GnR name and should have just moved on to something new entirely once he was the only original member left. Either that or release the record a few years earlier so that it would've still been relevant. I think even music videos could NEVER of fixed that.
