The official music video for “Don't Cry“ was directed by Andy Morahan and Mark Racco. John Linson was the producer of the video. Rose commented on the difficulty of filming the video and how certain scenes inspired by his relationship with Erin Everly affected him emotionally: “With our video for “Don't Cry,“ and the fight that Stephanie Seymour, (Axl's then-current girlfriend) and I had over the gun, you don't necessarily know what's going on. But in real life that happened with Erin Everly (Axl's ex-wife) and myself. I was going to shoot myself. We fought over the gun and I finally let her win. I was kind of mentally crippled after that. Before shooting our documentary, I said, “This seems really hard, 'cause it really happened.“ And the night we wrote the scene, my friend Josh said, “Okay, how are you going to play that?“ He wanted to rehearse and I was like, “Look, leave me alone.“ But he kept pushing until, finally, I stood up. I had this cigarette lighter that looked like a real gun and I said, “Look, I'm gonna do it like this.“ And I just went over and slammed around in the hallway a bit and threw the gun and said, “Is that good enough for you?“ Izzy Stradlin did not attend the music video shoot by the time the band came to film the video and therefore does not appear in the video for the song he co-wrote. A month later, it was announced he had quit the band. A sign saying 'Where's Izzy' can be seen in the video. Stradlin later deemed the multi-million dollar video “a pointless indulgence.“ · Music videos remastered in high definition.
