This video cost GnR 1.4 million dollars to make. The most expensive rock video at the time. Well worth the cost. It's epic.

[@bidwell13]

At the time the most expensive music video was Michael Jackson Remember the Time that came in at $2million. The next year GnR’s Estranged video cost $5million to make. Them three years later Michael Jackson makes Scream for $7million.

The lead Singer is named Axl Rose. The guitar player is named Slash. Remember these two names. They are mentioned frequently in Rock music discussion.

Based on a short story by Del James titled “Without You”, from James’s anthology, “The Language of Fear”. The main character is unfaithful to his girlfriend frequently, which he blames on his lifestyle as a famous musician, which his girlfriend forgives him for, but cannot get over. They break up and she tells him, “I cannot live with you and I cannot live without you.” Her statement inspires him to write a song called, “Without You”. They do reunite, but the trust is broken. She ultimately commits suicide, sending him into a depression, exacerbated by his addiction to substances, hearing issues and the popularity of “Without You”, which reminds him of his late girlfriend. He considers suicide, but decides against it. Then, one night, overwhelmed with grief and depression, he begins playing his song, initially on the piano, then on his favorite and only remaining guitar. As he plays, a cigarette he left burning on a table falls and catches fire. He ignores the fire, continuing to play, and ultimately dies in the flames while playing his song. Is also part of an unofficial trilogy of sorts, including “Don't Cry" and "Estranged". The song's composition was influenced by Elton John's 1973 opus “Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding”.

My favorite band ever. Videos were like mini movies really expressing the song. ❤️❤️

[@RainbowMaille]

It was always an Epic video, ahead of its' time

[@MrBrettley]

This is one of the greatest songs ever.

[@bidwell13]

12:49 this is the first video pre-KZbin era to get this many views. Slash improvised the solo he did and was nervous filming it cause the helicopter was getting too close to him. It took Axl Rose around a decade to write this song. The music company wanted it for Appetite for Destruction but Rose said it wasn’t ready and they went with Sweet Child of Mine which was a huge hit.

You certainly absorbed that epic exactly the way they intended. You were enthralled. Stacie from Boston

I was living in LA during the time when this all came out. Love to see you reacting to it. Stacie from Bawstin

[@KerriWard-iu2rz]

Estranged by Guns N Roses is another great song and video

[@StanCostello-q3o]

I believe it’s one of the most expensive videos made at the time

[@siriusforever]

Yes, it is. In top 10.

Check out welcome to the jungle or sweet child o mine. Those are the best songs besides this one and don't cry...

[@davidmazzell2332]

Dude lost his love, that's tough

[@robinbeerman4726]

Believe this is about Axl relationship with Erin Everly daughter of Don Everly from the Everly brothers. They dated for years, broke up pregnancy miscarriage she left him because he was unfaithful and abusive.

[@kristinkeiner6547]

It’s based on Del James’s short story, “Without You”, from his anthology, “The Language of Fear”.

[@robinbeerman4726]

@@kristinkeiner6547 partly, but it mirrors his life so exactly. Even I the first trilogy they had a woman that looked like erin , looking out the window of a car at him and his new love. In November rain , why do uthink he is saying, don't u think there b some body? He is known for being petty. He was a great frontman in the day, while being volatile. He owes st. Louis 2 concerts. Hope he becomes more aware of his own actions and what they caused.

[@kristinkeiner6547]

@@robinbeerman4726, Axel Rose has confirmed, and even wrote the foreword for the re-edition of “The Language of Fear”, that this video is inspired by the Del James short story. He didn’t state it was partially inspired by it. He stated “Without You” is THE inspiration for this video. Del James is credited in the long version of the video, in fact.

[@robinbeerman4726]

@@kristinkeiner6547 he can say what he wants. Everybody lies. He isn't one to whom I would trust. Look at what I said. Look at his history. It's a mixed version. It is simply to closely resembling his own life for me not to believe there wasn't some influence.
