Description
Thirty years ago, Andy Morahan was working with Guns N’ Roses, at the height of their fame and notoriety, directing a series of extravagant videos that still spark debate today. So in this episode we dive into Music Video History, as Andy takes us back to those wild times of big hair and big budgets, and how he created the most iconic guitar solo in music videos for November Rain. Andy also takes us back further to how he began his career, making some of the best loved British videos of the 80s - including classics for George Michael and Pet Shop Boys.
