"Garden Of Eden" is a song by hard rock band Guns N' Roses (written by Axl Rose and Slash), which appears on the album Use Your Illusion I. The song has less of a hard rock sound than the usual Guns N' Roses songs, and is more thrash metal in musical style than anything else. Many believe the lyrics have a strong political meaning behind them, with words such as "most organised religions make a mockery of humanity" and "our governments are dangerous and out of control".
There is a music video of the song, which is comprised of one continuous shot which features a close-up of Rose with the band playing in the background, whilst keyboardist Dizzy Reed and Teddy Andreadis (who played the harmonica for the band during the Use Your Illusion Tour) are seen dancing in the background.
There are two versions of the video, one has paper flying through the air (this is the one mostly found on music video sites like Yahoo Music). The other version has lyrics, complete with a "follow-the-bouncing-ball", but with no paper flying around . This is the version that is on the Guns N' Roses music video compilation "Welcome to the Videos."
This video was used as music video fodder for the show Beavis and Butthead.
