More Guns 'n' Roses for your Saturday night, with video!

...or, Speaking of G'n'R and Use Your Illusion II...
No doubt Axl Rose and his bandmates were on top of the world in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They were certainly all over the radio, and at or near the top of the charts during those years. They pulled off a pretty nifty feat in the fall of 1991, when Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II, both released on the same day, debuted at No. 2 (685,000 sold) and No. 1 (770,000 sold) respectively on the Billboard 200 album chart, which tracks all album sales from all genres. My favorite single from either set was this little number, which also appeared on the soundtrack to Terminator 2. And it still sounds just as good today as it always has...
