They really wouldn't even have to appear in the video. Shackler's would make a great soundtrack to an Asian Animated video. He also mentioned something about using Mickey Rourke in a SR video. Axl's got enough members to make a "band" video. But I don't see it being a huge deal. This band doesn't have an identity outside Axl, anyway. Hasn't since Bucket left. So what's the sense of using old concert footage?

P.R. Brown can make a pretty killer video with no big production, too.

Its hard to tell what to make of this. I don't think Axl is the victim he sometimes claims to be, but there is now way I'm holding what Niven says as the gospel. I mean, managers are all slippery dicks for the most part. Never met one who wasn't. And they have a history of screwing artists out of money.  And they are all master spin meisters in the PR department.... In a weird way, if what he's saying is true, I'm kind of glad Axl fucked him over..... I'm sure there is a lot more here Niven isn't saying. The band members aren't hurting for money, and they still have a say in things, so I don't really see Axl's take over as a bad thing, really. Not as bad as some bands who are victims of their managers.

You bitches are crazy. Robin was fantastic on the album. And his TIL solo reminds me of Pink Floyd. It's not pretentious or trying to be over-dramatic, and you gotta admit, the song is over-dramatic... and it could've easily been a cheesy mess in someone elses hands. The solo fits the song perfectly.
