About This Track

“Estranged” is a song and music video by the American hard rock band Guns N’ Roses, from their fourth album Use Your Illusion II.

“Estranged” is the longest song on Use Your Illusion II, and one of Guns N’ Roses’ longest overall. It has many verses, and no set chorus, as well as distinguished guitar and piano solos. Use Your Illusion II’s liner notes thank Slash for “the killer guitar melodies,” which captured Axl Rose’s vision. Slash has specifically stated that recording the guitar parts for this song was very intensive for him; he recorded it using a Les Paul Gold Top, using the treble pickup with the tone turned all the way down.

According to Slash, the song was written while the band was rehearsing for an extended period of time in Chicago. Axl revealed that he wrote the song during a more “bummed out” time in his life.

The music video is the third and final part of an unofficial trilogy of videos (preceded by “Don’t Cry” and “November Rain”) from the two Use Your Illusion albums which featured a stunning theatrical film type cinematography. This, like its predecessors had a massive budget, approximately reaching $8.5 million.

The over nine-minute-long video for “Estranged” is similar in style to the previous two in the trilogy; however, it appears only loosely to pick up the theme. This is mainly because Axl Rose and then-girlfriend Stephanie Seymour (who played Axl’s girlfriend in “Don’t Cry” and “November Rain”) had broken up prior to filming, making the theme of separation/divorce highly relevant.

    If you look back on that five album stretch from Appetite in '87 through Spaghetti in '93 this band was the biggest in the world during that time frame and every album topped the charts and they had quite a few chart topping singles too and just massive then it all ended because of egos mainly axl's.I'd love to see them reunite and set the world afire once again.
