An alternate version of the song exists as the thirteenth track of Use Your Illusion II and serves as the B-Side for the "Don't Cry" single.
Music video[]
The official music video for the song was directed by Andy Morahan and Mark Racco, filmed May 1991.[1] John Linson was the producer of the video.[2]
Rose commented on the difficulty of filming the video and how certain scenes inspired by his relationship with Erin Everly affected him emotionally: Template:Blockquote
Izzy Stradlin did not attend the music video shoot by the time the band came to film the video and therefore does not appear in the video for the song he co-wrote. A month later, it was announced he had quit the band. A sign saying 'Where's Izzy' can be seen in the video. Stradlin later deemed the multi-million dollar video "a pointless indulgence."Template:Sfn
