November Rain, Please help!

"However in a book that I own, which is by the way unauthorized, it states this:  "Though the video to the song would appear cryptic and refer to situation beyond a relationship problem, the lyrics were romantic and direct, Axl suppurating "so if you want to love me then darlin don't refrain."  This was an admittance that he required love as much as anyone and he felt together (with Stephanie the subject of the song) he and his 'perfect woman' could still find a way.  'Cause nothin lasts forever even cold November rain".



  (At the book, not you - was it The Band that Time Forgot, by any chance?)

Most of NR was written in the early 80s. Axl stated during the 1990 Howard Stern interview that his relationship with Erin had helped him to finish it. It has fuck all to do with SS.

In the video, the chick who is played by SS but is really based on EE commits suicide, as others have said. Del James' story Without You is about a rockstar and his beloved, those characters are based on Axl and Erin and the trilogy is loosely based on the story.

That's okay.

Holy crap, TBTtF is full of shit! Doesn't it also claim that Estranged and Back off Bitch are about Seymour? Even though they're on a record that was released a few months after they *started* dating?

in the video the making of 'Estranged'  Axl states that it is not soley written or focused soley on one subject.  It is an emotional release on Axl's part.  He states that NR is about not wanting to be ina a state of having to deal with inrequieted love/ 'Estranged is acknowledging it and being there and trying to figure out what the fluck to do. He said it was like being catapulted out into the universe and having no choice about it, and trying to figure out what to do, also realizing the things you wanted and worked for just cannot happen and theres nothing yu can do about it.  He wrote the song basically about who he is and how he feels about all of it, in regards to the breakup of his marriage with Erin and how he didn't want it to end.  It is sending a message to Dillon (Stephanies son)  or says it is also his way of communicating with him, as he had been taken away from Axl.  He states he was told one thing and shown another, and that Dillon was robbed of certain things and so was he.  He also states the song can be applied to alot of other situations or friendships or family things where you knew it had to end.

TBTTF does make those claims, he probably applied BOB to Steph after the breakup.  I guess thats why those books are unofficial.  They have given me something to do while waiting for 'Chinese Dem'.
