You can thank Thor for today’s music video of the day.

This video was shot in the Mendiola’s Ballroom at Huntington Park, California.  All of the band’s then-girlfriends are featured in the clip.  Erin Everly was dating Axl Rose at the time and he wrote the lyrics with her specifically in mind.  Sally McLaughlin was dating Slash.  Steven Adler was dating Cheryl Swiderski while Duff McKagan was going out with Mandy Brx and Izzy Stradlin was seeing Angela Nicoletti.  Unfortunately, I don’t think any of those people are still together but the song still rocks.

The video was directed by Nigel Dick, which is not surprising.  From the 80s to the present day, being a star means that Nigel Dick will eventually end up directing a music video for you.  Along with doing several other videos for Guns N’ Roses, he’s also done videos for Nickelback, Il Divo, R.E.M., Barry Manilow, Britney Spears, Madness, Iron Maiden, and pretty much every other band that’s ever had a major recording contract.  Did his work with Iron Maiden and Guns N’ Roses prepare him to work with Barry Manilow?  We may never know.

Enjoy!
