Minute two: Axl tosses and turns in the large lonely bed. We cut to a cathedral, with cute flowergirls throwing rose petals and a statue of the crucified Christ that appears to be weeping blood. Down the aisle walks a beautiful bride who, though she has remembered her corset and train, seems to have succumbed to general memory failure when it came to the lower half of her dress. Minute three: While the ceremony goes on, we see the happy couple in more relaxed circumstances, sitting in a bar, drinking, laughing, and smoking.
The woman in the video, we should note, is Axl Rose's girlfriend of the time, Stephanie Seymour, who was hot. Minute four: After a brief moment of comedy relief when Slash, cigarette hanging out of his mop of hair in that same way that always made you wonder why he didn't set himself on fire, loses the rings, then finds them - the ceremony is completed, and Axl kisses the bride. Minute five: Is mainly taken up with Slash being a rock god.
For those readers who are unfamiliar with this song - which is possibly a criminal act, may I add - you know when Regina Spektor sings "The solo's real long, but it's a pretty song" in On the Radio? This is the solo she means. A helicopter flies around Slash, giving us rockgodness from all angles, although possibly putting his cigarette out in the process, which is not a bad thing, as it will kill you. Smoking, I mean, not guitar solos.
Although if any guitar solo could kill, it would be this one. You can tell Slash is a rock god because his stance is so wide he is almost doing the splits. Minute six: With the wedding ceremony over, the bride and groom leave the church. The bride looks inexplicably sad. Slash is still playing his solo, legs akimbo. These two facts may or may not be connected. Elsewhere, apparently in the wild west, Axl Rose walks past a shop selling "guns", looking moody. As there is no shop next door selling "Nroses", we can safely assume this to be ominous foreshadowing of events to come.
Remember this bit, we might have a quiz later. Minute seven already! And we are at the reception, which looks like a marvellous bash. The bride and groom cut the cake with what looks a bit like a spatula, Axl feeding his bride from the business end - the "spatul", I think it's called - while they are watched by one of the midget waiters that the band have hired in especially to make Axl feel not quite as tiny next to his new supermodel wife.
Suddenly: disaster! Though the outside reception was looking all lovely and sunny, out of nowhere, and spotted first by Slash and one of the midgets, it starts to rain. Though it would appear to be just normal rain, people react as if it were the purest hydrochloric acid: they run, they scream, and things are knocked over ominously Well I say so , someone tries to escape the sudden shower by - I can barely say it out loud, it's so great - leaping face forward through the cake.
We have no time to enjoy it, however, as, coming into minute eight we find ourselves at a funeral. It is the bride! She's dead! And, of course, the Bride herself, in a white, mini-skirted wedding dress, high-heeling her way down the aisle. Many people simply know her as "the girl from November Rain," but actress Stephanie Seymour was once a celebrity in her own right, as well as the real-life girlfriend to Axl Rose.
Seymour was just starting to come into public light in , and sat beside megastar model Heidi Klum in photo ops. She was rumored to be dating around Hollywood quite a bit at the time she was cast in "November Rain," according to Page Six , including Charlie Sheen and Warren Beatty. Her relationship with Rose ended in a lawsuit. Between struggling to get her acting career off the ground, she met billionaire industrialist, publisher, and art collector Peter Brant, from Queens, NY. They had a child, Peter, Jr.
