I think you guys got this covered pretty good here.
The little church in the desert - brought out there
The interior shots - from a real church (I also believe that)
The clergyman who performs the ceremony - a real Father!
Axl taks about him in the Makin' of Videos -
and as far as the Makin' of videos - I love these...
yes, a lot of it is focused on Axl - as he was the star and it was based on his visions/concept... Not to discunt Del James at all because of the inspiration provided by "Without You"... but, lets remember who was the inspiration for "Without You"
Axl actually had a lot of hands on (especially in Don't Cry).. which I wish he had been able to retain throughout Estranged because when he talks about it going way over the top in some scenes you know exactly what he is talking about.
Andy Morahan's idea/vision as he explained it was that since it was Guns N' Roses that people should expect something larger than life (something like that)... but, the whole scene where the swat team raiding Axl's house was (in my opinion) not a good fit for the video.
Yeah yeah I know, the trilogy videos - a different topic that we've discussed before.
Nov Rain... though,
but Don't Cry is my fav or the three
