[edit]

The official music video for the song was directed by Andy Morahan.[2] Filmed in black and white, the first version[specify] featured the band playing in an empty warehouse. The second version mixes clips of the band playing in the warehouse and photographs of band members during the Use Your Illusion Tour, as well as former members Izzy Stradlin and Steven Adler, who had left the group by then. It is included on their Welcome to the Videos DVD.
