The video was the third installment in a massively expensive video trilogy. The second, and best known of the three, is "November Rain," which featured Axl Rose's then girlfriend, supermodel Stephanie Seymour, and was a bit of a cliff hanger since she mysteriously dies at the end of the video that became the most requested in MTV's history, per Vice. British director Any Morahan had plenty of money in the budget but not a lot else to work with.

"It was never really fleshed out," Morahan told Kerrang! "It was to do, I guess, with Axl falling in love with a girl, and he was going through personal regressive therapy, whatever that was ... Things that had happened in his past and all that kind of stuff ... I couldn't really begin to explain what it all meant." Apparently neither could Rose, who described it in a 1994 behind-scenes documentary about the video as his own "emotional destruction" and "the process of transcending that," per Vice.
