Nigel Dick reveals rejected concept for Guns N' Roses video

Music video director Nigel Dick has revealed a rejected, darker concept for the Guns N' Roses music video ‘Sweet Child O' Mine’. Speaking on the Appetite for Distortion podcast regarding his new memoir, Dick described an initial idea discussed with Axl Rose and former manager Alan Niven.

The original concept reportedly involved a character in a mental institution looking through a window at his girlfriend on the other side. Dick noted that such concepts are often discarded because they are deemed too dark, too expensive, or impractical for the production schedule.
