Paradise city is a song by Hard rock band Guns n’ roses.
Half of the music video was filmed at Giants Stadium in New Jersey while Guns N' Roses were on tour with Aerosmith, midway through the video, they are seen boarding the Concorde jet so they could make an appearance in England, and return as quickly as possible back to the USA to continue touring with one of their major influences. The concert in England is the Monsters of Rock event at Donington Park. The reason for this is because of some deaths that took place while Guns N' Roses were performing. As a result, they thought the footage taken at the concert would be good music video footage and a proper show of respect to those who died at the concert.
In the music video, about 4 minutes into the video, Axl Rose is seen sporting a World War II Nazi officer cap and a stage pass which appears to bear the SS eagle. Axl opens the pass, shows off the SS eagle, closes it again and gives a meaningful look to the camera. Most of the video was shot in black-and-white. The video angle is generally shot at eye level, generally the audience perspective, and the beginning of the music video has long shots for emphasise on the stage performance and size of the gig. When the downbeat kicks in and everyone rocks out, shots showing the band members are maintained throughout, typically using jump-cuts with short length between each transition to emphasise the tempo of the rhythm so something alot such as a big performance and the energy of the gig is happening in one go. Most notably, the music video is over 6 minutes, longer than generally around 3 minutes.
