Estranged, which appeared on Appetite on Destruction, is Guns N’ Roses second-longest song overall. Like November Rain and Don’t Cry, the song’s lyrics were inspired by a short story that was written by Del James.
The music video was originally planned to be continuation of the story started in the videos for November Rain and Don’t Cry but that plan was abandoned when Axl Rose and Stephanie Seymour broke up before shooting on the video began. The storyline for the video was changed, though it still dealt with the same themes as the other two videos. This time, instead of ending with Axl thinking about Stephanie Seymour, the story ended with Axl swimming with the dolphins.
Enjoy!
