Guns N’ Roses were one of the last glam stalwarts, holding on to their decadence as long as possible. “When a musician starts to use the term ‘mini-movie’ to describe a video, it’s time to quit,” Dave Grohl was quoted as saying in response to the visual for “November Rain.” “November Rain” stands in stark contrast to Nirvana’s low-concept, simple video. Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” was released just a few months earlier, setting the tone for the genre moving into a new decade. The music video for “November Rain” came at a time when glam rock was nearing the end of its course and its grittier counterpart, grunge rock, began to take its place.
