November Rain - Why did Axl's bride die? Three theories

"November Rain" is based on the short story "Without You", by Del James, available in James' 1995 book The Language of Fear. That short story would have an obvious appeal to Axl Rose, as it describes the misery of a former multi-platinum blues-influenced rock star, now so drunk and drug-addled he never knows what day it is, who reminisces over an on-and-off-again relationship. He leaves this erstwhile girlfriend a telephone message, becomes concerned when she
doesn't answer, and then goes to her apartment, kicking down her door to find she had just shot herself in the head while listening to his music.
The lyrics to "November Rain" do not discuss the suicide issue, only the tempestuous relationship. According to one interpretation, the lyrics are from a man to a former girlfriend, saying how the troubled times (the 'cold November rain') will not last forever, and that he is willing to give her time alone if she will come back to him. The video, on the other hand, follows the short story more closely, from love and life, through to death and the funeral of the bride.

I think the bride never got killed...

it's just a symbol of dying love

don't look just at the video, listen to the lyrics

it's a song about unrequited love

[connor2431]

i think he masturbated on her face when she died

[hayawesley]

Look in the real video from guns n roses Vevo And pauze it o 9:08

[sweeperman333]

I don't care how the bride died. I want to know why the hell the dude at 1:14 jumped through the cake.

[MMCMerahMotocross]

slash shot her!!!! love triangle ...

[georgebartrum]

what about acid rain

[Giuseppenroses]

@xxMrsRosexx  Credo che stai sbagliando , axl parla di Elizabeth dove si suicido' a casa sua da sola con un colpo di pistola ..

[12tomer]

Maybe the gun shop refers that Axl is feeling guilty, like he's the blame in her suicide..

[LindaAllAndrea]

sometime after the weeding in the car the bride looked so sad as if she knew a lethal fact. maybe she knew she was going to die soon of some sickness?

[MrsBruh4]

@xxMrsRosexx yeah, you're right :b

but it's a great love story ♥

[xxMrsRosexx]

i think the sad look in the car reflects "when i look into your eyes i can see the love restrained" and the fact that she died reflects "cause nothing lasts forever".....also the concept of unrequited love goes with "your not the only one" like everybody has been or will be brokenhearted. This is not about Seymour, it's about Erin. It was with Erin that Axl had a fight over the gun in Don't Cry and November Rain is based on Without You which is based on Axl's and Erin's relationship.

[xxMrsRosexx]

@MrsBruh4 axl didn't kill himself in estranged!! he just tried but was saved the last moment by dolphins.

i have read without you too. at first i felt deep disgust about this lifestyle of wanting to get high as soon as waking up but in the end i cried and kept telling myself it wasn't real and that erin and axl never died and stuff......
