Re: Chinese Democracy First Video Coming Soon
I was looking at this site which I believe the domain name is owned by GN'R.
http://www.chinesedemocracy.co.uk/
It says video coming soon and it got me thinking, how exactly are they going to shoot a video - who will be in it.
If they can't get Finck to play ball and assuming they haven't been able to talk Buckethead into coming back, then who will be seen playing what parts. Would they just use Ron and Fortus? Also would Frank be the drummer. I know these are questins we all want answers to, but it must be problematic for when they sit down and try and shoot a video.
On a seperate note have there been any UK fans from this board that have submitted an air guitar video to try and win the listening party?
Re: Chinese Democracy First Video Coming Soon
All valid questions, and certainly the situation has put them in a bind. First video is key since it cements the new lineup in the public's conscience. Potentially half the people on the songs wont even be in the video.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they take the easy way out by using 06-07 tour footage, and maybe even splice in some 01-02 footage of Bucket.
Re: Chinese Democracy First Video Coming Soon
James is right.
It'll be concept based, and when the band is shown it'll be stock footage from 2006-07 only imo, if that's the band they are trying to market (I say that very loosely).
This won't be an obstacle for them at all, and it'll just smack of laziness if that's the route they go, ala what deadsouth said.
Cut and paste album = cut and paste videos.
Considering the fact that during the Illusion days, they had songs turned into videos that featured Izzy on rhythm, but the video showed Gilby playing.
So they'll have no issue with showing Ron playing Bucket, Richard playing Paul, and Frank playing Brain imo.

As tempting as it is, I think I'll pass on this one.
Unless I'm allowed to do it naked with our URL tattoo'ed across my arse? 
Re: Chinese Democracy First Video Coming Soon
Wasn't there a rumor that they had already shot a video in like 2002 or something like that?
But I am with Von on this. I want to see a major video. Showcase the band as just that a band. Maybe someone wearing a "Where's Buckethead?" sign.
