The Guns N’ Roses song “November Rain” has one of the longest and most epic backstories in rock. Axl Rose began writing it in 1983, before he had even formed Guns N’ Roses. At that time, he was already playing it on the piano in hotel rooms and during rehearsals. The song slowly evolved over the years, incorporating grand orchestral arrangements and becoming a nearly nine-minute power ballad. The main inspiration for the lyrics and the music video’s concept comes from the short story “Without You,” written by Del James, a close friend of the band. It tells the story of a musician who loses the love of his life. A tale of pain, loss, and grief that resonated deeply with Axl. When they finally recorded it for the album Use Your Illusion I (1991), it became a monumental production. It featured a full orchestra, piano, acoustic and electric guitars, and one of Slash’s most memorable solos. Released as a single in 1992, it reached number 3 on the Billboard charts despite its unusual length and became a phenomenon thanks to the music video, one of the most expensive in rock history. It depicts a beautiful wedding with Stephanie Seymour (Axl’s girlfriend at the time) that ends in tragedy amid a torrential storm. Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful ballads of all time

@dalyrosemary22 You’re so right. I could listen to this endlessly. Sometimes I wish I could re-experience the day when I listened to this album for the first time.

أنا أحتقر الملالي. يستحق شعب إيران الحرية وحقوق المرأة والحق في التصويت. لكن رجلا واحدا سيسجل في التاريخ كأسوأ رئيس. #إيران #الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية

There is only one bastard who needs to be stopped. The people of Iran are friends of the world and will receive all the support they need to rebuild their beautiful country. But one person must be put in prison now and forever. #Iran #makelovenotwar

Is this already World War III, or is it just another regional conflict? It's hard to tell. We might be closer to a global war now than ever before. Where are the people & #music lovers who used to chant “make love not war"? Have we become numb from all the negative news? #WW3

I’m a #MTV child. Music videos made my youth exciting. But now we have YouTube and social media. It’s more interactive and instant. I still believe that TV is better for your psychological development. Keep @MTV alive! #longliveMTV.

I can’t believe we still negotiate with war starter #Putin. He’s a liar, a war monger, and an imperialist. The world must isolate Russia, and might use Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine. #UkraineNeverSurrenders
