For the recording of this song, guitarist Slash used a slightly different setup. For the rest of the album, he used a Gibson Les Paul copy through a modified Marshall amplifier on the same settings for each song. However, for this song, he swapped to a 1960s Gibson SG because he felt it had a darker sound.
The song was covered by the punk group AFI for the compilation called Punk Goes Metal.
The song was also covered by the math-core band The Dillinger Escape Plan for the controversial tribute album, Bring You To Your Knees: A Tribute To Guns N' Roses.
In the Super NES, Sega Saturn, and PlayStation versions of the game Mega Man X3, Neon Tiger's stage theme music is extremely similar to this song.
