The video tells a story...it starts with Axl having a couple of pills to be able to sleep. As he is trying to get some sleep scenes of the band playing in a big theatre are shown, Axl plays the piano, wearing a red suit and glasses, there is a full orquestra playing with him. An image of Jesus cries blood and a bride (Stephanie Seymour) enters the church, walking through the aisle towards Axl who is beside Slash, the godfather to the wedding.

The woman walking behind Stephanie in a pink dress is Axl's sister, Amy Bailey, and in the first bench in the church we can spot Duff, Gilby and Dizzy with their respective wives. The priest is an old Axl's friend named Gian Antonio.

The scene takes us back in time to a celebration in a bar called The Rainbow, where the band have fun and drink beer. Back in church, the priest drops the question for Axl and Stephanie to become husband and wife, they agree; Slash seems to have lost the rings but Duff got them in his finger. Axl and Stephanie kiss eachother and Slash leaves the church to play the guitar in the middle of nowhere, in a more modest but beautiful church.

Back to the wedding, Axl and Stephanie leave the church, he looks very happy, she looks gloomy. The party arrives, they are all gathered for the picture, they cut the cake, make a toast and Axl hugs Stephanie who then goes dancing with Earl Gabbidon, Axl's bodyguard. It starts raining heavily, everyone starts running, people fall and it's a mess. Duff hides under a table and a guy throws himself towards the cake.

Now we are back in the church again but this time to say goodbye to Stephanie who has died and lies within a coffin. Axl is sat in the first bench, crying, then just walking behind the coffin. Again the rain ruins the funeral, people start running, Axl suddenly wakes up from a nightmare, looking sweaty and scared. Back in the cementery, on the coffin roses bleed and it still keeps raining.
