| This
awesome video starts out with a country bumpkin 'kid, Axl, in flared jeans
and a backwards baseball cap getting off a bus in a big city (L.A). After
fending off a drug dealer and looking around with a wide-eyed "this
ain't Indiana anymore" expression, Axl walks towards his destiny,
well, actually a Tv store window beneath which we glimpse Slash sitting
and drinking. We now know that this intro is based on Axl's own story
of leaving home. It's a great beginning to a great video and the GN'R's
story in general. Much of the clip features the band performing the song
onstage in some sweaty club with Axl prowling around snarling like a small
vicious cat. Meanwhile, scenes of kids fighting cops, ecstatic fans, soldiers
running with full combat gear are shown on a Tv screen which Axl is watching.
Suddenly Axl appears in a strait jacket watching multiple screens while
alternately violent, sexy and rockin' images assault his brain. You know
where you are?? You're in the jungle baby!!! and you are gonna die!!!!!! |
