(2/5) Since this video is the second half of the concert covered by the first video, it is not surprising that it has the same flaws — the band is too tired due to all of their running around, Rose himself doesn't sing well, and the show just isn't that entertaining to watch. Both cassettes are only recommended to the more dedicated GN'R fan.

These two live concert videos, recorded on the Use Your Illusion tour in Tokyo, Japan suffer from a poor sound mix and truly weird track listings. Use Your Illusion II is the worst of these discs. Boasting eleven tracks, the first half-hour of the disc is a waste of time. The band kicks into an adequate performance of their Terminator 2: Judgment Day soundtrack song "You Could Be Mine". The following 25 minutes feature a tepid drum solo, a guitar solo, and a cover of the theme from the Godfather. The remaining tracks are largely culled from Appetite for Destruction rendering the very name of the DVD moot. The first disc fares a bit better, with less superfluous material and a equal balance of newer and older material but suffers from a muddy sound mix as well as feedback from Axl's microphone during some of the early tracks.

The concert itself is nothing spectacular, and spread out over three hours of viewing, quickly becomes a bore. The stage setup is tame, and there are no elaborate stage props. For fun, you can count the number of times Axl changes his short shorts. No, you didn't read this wrong -- Axl performs in short shorts. And for an added bonus you can try and figure out what exactly Dizzy Reed's role is as keyboardist, as I only found him performing once on each disc, otherwise he just sits back and hits a tambourine.

Diehard Guns 'N Roses fans need only pick up Welcome to the Videos, as it provides a great overview of the band's career. These concert films on the other hand are an embarrassment. Geffen should be ashamed of themselves for doing little more than transferring the video to DVD. A cleaned up sound mix would've made the concert a little more bearable, and some documentary or behind the scenes footage would have been a nice addition. And why not pare down the two sub-par concert discs into one stellar disc? Unfortunately, the haste at which these have hit store shelves smells of a cash grab. Well I guess someone's gotta pay for Chinese Democracy.
