Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The church was real and transported to the Mojave Desert. It still stands and has become a pilgrimage site for GNR fans who leave guitar picks and roses.
At $1.5 million (1992 dollars), it held the record for most expensive music video for nearly a decade—mostly because Axl kept adding scenes while the budget burned.
