'It's So Easy' -- New Video
Well, what do you know: Guns n' Roses saved a little unseen footage for us. Just in time for the special re-release of Appetite for Destruction is a never-before released video for "It's So Easy." Here's the narrative off the Guns n' Roses Vevo page:
Guns N’ Roses – “It’s So Easy” – The music video shot in 1989 but never completely finished - until now. From the upcoming release of #AppetiteForDestruction: The Debut Album, Remastered and Expanded. Available for pre-order as Box Set, Super Deluxe, Double LP, and Double CD.
The video is live footage shot at the iconic Cathouse. I wonder how many of you were in the crowd when GnR made this all those years ago? The best part? Your boy Izzy Stradlin is on stage, right where he should be.

Brought me back to the good ol' days!
Dad plays that video for his son... that'll make them little hairs stand right up.
I actually see his point, even if it comes off as a bit of grandstanding. I still do think this is an awesome time capsule sorta' thing. But I am conflicted. Absent context, it doesn't really work in today's climate. But, given that, it still is an issue when you consider Erin's perspective on things (not that she chimed in on Niven's arguments in her favor and/or that I give her a pass for some of the things that she has done in her time since being married to Axl).
I actually didn't even consider how Everly might feel seeing this released. So I am saying: my bad for not taking a bit of time to pause and think: "Hmmm. This is the woman who allegedly put up with some horrid crap at the hands of Axl. Not sure how she feels seeing this as a 'good time' reel from the glory days."
Flame me for this if you want. I don't care. I guess I need to remember every now and again that "sleazy" can carry some decidedly negative undertones. And I just wanted to own that.
