Guns 'N' Roses - 'Sweet Child O' Mine'

The band Guns 'N' Roses were famous in the 80's as a glam rock band, this track is one of their biggest hits.

The video is set in a studio and the main focus is on the band as they practise the song. This type of video would fit in with Goodwin's music video types as it is a performance video. The difference between this and the performances we see in other Guns 'N' Roses videos such as 'Paradise City' and 'Welcome To The Jungle' is the absence of a crowd.

The simplicity of the video; without any narrative scenes such as the ones seen in 'November Rain' the bands highest production cost music video of $1.5 million, suggests that this video, in contrast, had a low production cost.

The opening shots focus mainly on Slash, the lead guitarist as he plays the intro. There are other shots of the band members, including lead singer Axel Rose, and other people who are unknown setting up the instruments and other equipment. This gives a sense of realism, the audience feel as though they have this opportunity to witness Guns 'N' Roses backstage as they practise their set.

The shots are cut in time to changes within the beat. 

According to the wikipedia entry on this song, the video features all the band member's girlfriends; including Axel Rose's then girlfriend Erin Everly, daughter of Don Everly. The dog seen in the opening shot belongs to guitarist, Izzy Stradlin. This suggests a rather personal aspect to the video.

The scenes in the video change between colour shots and black and white, the use of black and white sometimes signifies the past, this may be a negotiated reading although it is more likely the change between colour and no colour has been used to make more obvious the difference between the bands' performances and fame and the bands' private life, as it is in the black and white shots that the bands girlfriends feature. 
In one short shot a sexual relationship is conveyed as a hand is seen sliding up a woman's thigh, their faces aren't seen so their identity remains anonymous although we can predict it will have been one of the band members and their girlfriend.
