He stated that his ideas and visions for a more symphonic, power-ballad style rock song were rejected from Slash and McKagan. He said that eventually he managed to convince them that this could be a good direction for the band. I am not sure how truthful those statements are because Axl Rose likes to make up stories every now and then. I should say that based on my research, Slash completely disagreed and contradicted such claims.
In a several occasions, he mentioned that Zeppelin and Queen, especially, were a huge influence to him and his career. The essence of the video is its narrative quality — it tells us a story about love and many other things that come and go with it…. The price was high, however what the band got out of it was much more valuable and it proved that it was a totally worthy investment. In addition, MTV also placed it at 1 on their videos of Back to — it is the most viewed music video on YouTube that was not made in the 21 st century — as of this moment, it has ,, views.
There are so many facts and intriguing details about the music video. For your and actually mine convenience, I decided to prepare a few bullet points, instead of just filling up the space with lengthy and dense amount of text…. I get all weird with songs sometimes…. Hearts can change and even a candle that once burned bright cannot stay lit in the cold November rain… A love that once used to mean everything and was shining with the brightest colors can change through time.
The words are so beautiful — no second opinion about it. This song is one of those classic work of art which will never die.
I remember when I was just a few years old and I saw the music video on MTV — I had no idea what the whole thing was all about. However, some scenes — like Slash playing the guitar on the field and Axl kissing his girlfriend remained forever in my head — it just looked so beautiful.
I'm a girl who wants to keep great rock music alive! View all posts by Velina. Hi Velina, Good blog. Almost too much information even for me…. The song is simply an epic. I really like the last minutes of the song….. I actually prefer the song by itself rather than the video. I remember in early , I owned both Use your Illusion albums. But then they released the full video clip.
I even bought the cassette single — as it had Patience and Sweet Child on it. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. Like Like. Wow — such a long comment — thank you for it!

Axl loves a woman and the november rain is a metaphor for the absence of her love.
And as the times goes on, the feeling will probably die as a candle in the rain in november. As a matter of fact, the video clip is based on the short story « Without You » written by Del James.
The story is about a rock star grieving over the death of his girlfriend, who had commited suicide. Indeed, the first part of the video, Axl is marrying Seymour in a Church. As closing remarks, November Rain peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot chart and sold over a million copies worldwide and is considered as one of the ultimate hard-rock power ballads.
As we saw with GNR, getting out of our confort zone and pushing our creativity, can make us come up with something original, and why not a masterpiece.
