Music video

Filmed in black and white, the video mixes clips of the band playing in an empty 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 the Welcome to the Videos DVD. Another version was also made, which just contained the band playing in the warehouse.
