This is an interesting video. It’s much more dramatic that most of the Guns N’ Roses videos before it. Some things to notice in the video. The song was co-written by guitarist Izzy Stradlin, but he failed to show up for the taping, so you’ll see Axl holding a poster at one point that says, “Where’s Izzy?”. Also, at one point, Axl is wearing a St. Louis Cardinals baseball cap, which is his way of poking fun at the city where he jumped into the crowd at a concert and attacked a fan and incited a riot.
The late Shannon Hoon (Blind Melon’s lead singer) was featured in the video and sang back-up on a lot of the songs from Guns N’ Roses’ Use You Illusion I and II CD’s. Finally, you’ll recognize his wife in real life, Stephanie Seymore, in the video as well. Enjoy!
