This video is a little departure from the previous ones. A dream-like quality permeates this gently edited, slow moving clip. The band performs the song in a very cluttered, cozy looking "studio", amid draperies, pillows and other soft things. Casualness prevails as Axl glimpses once in a while at his lyric sheet and the others are sprawled about playing accoustic guitars and looking extremely relaxed. Intercut are seemingly unrelated scenes taking place in a hotel. People walk the corridors and sit in the lobby, then literally they dissapear like ghosts.

Band scenes: Duff takes a room service tray down to the lobby desk, then looks around impatiently; Slash sits on a bed and plays with his snake while a series of women get into bed (and disappear). He seems bored. Axl stomps on and destroys a glowing telephone. Recurring themes of impatience and boredom, yet somehow the mood is one of sadness. In one cool scene Axl bemusedly watches the Welcome to the Jungle video on Tv, which brings us back to the beginning.
