November Rain” appears on the album Use Your Illusion I. At 8 minutes and 57 seconds, it is a rock ballad in the tradition of “Dry County,” “Child in Time,” “Stairway to Heaven,” “Free Bird,” and “Bohemian Rhapsody.” It is the second-longest song on that album.
According to Tracii Guns, former Guns N’ Roses guitarist and founding member, Axl Rose had been working on the song since at least 1983. In an interview, he said the following about “November Rain”:
“When we were doing that EP for L.A. Guns, like ‘83? He was playing “November Rain” — and it was called “November Rain” — you know, on piano. Way back then. It was the only thing he knew how to play, but it was his. He’d go, “Someday this song is gonna be really cool.” And I’d go, “It’s cool now.” “But it’s not done”, you know, he used to say. And, like, anytime we’d be at a hotel or anywhere, there’d be a piano; he’d just kinda play that music. And I’d go, “When are you gonna finish that already”, you know? And he’d go, “I don’t know what to do with it.”
