Welcome to the Videos is a DVD released in 1998 featuring music videos by the American rock group Guns N' Roses. All the videos featured were made between 1987 and 1994. In many ways, it is a video forerunner to their Greatest Hits album of 2004. It has achieved X2 Platinum in the US since its release (over 200,000 sales).

Notes

The video for "You Could Be Mine" from Use Your Illusion II was likely omitted due to it containing scenes from Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The promo video for "It's So Easy" from 1987's Appetite for Destruction is omitted because of content licensing issues - but can be found online.
"Don't Cry (Alt. Lyrics)", which consists solely of the band performing on the Transamerica rooftop in L.A., is omitted but found on the VHS release, "Don't Cry - Makin' F@!#ing Videos Part 1". The "Alt. Lyrics" version of the video released to MTV was the same as the "Original," but with the "Alt. Lyrics" featured instead.
"Knockin' on Heaven's Door", which was taken from The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, is not included for copyright reasons.
This video album is an example of a "video greatest hits" release that is not accompanied by an audio album of similar material.
