"We all did shots with him!" The Hollywood icon that left Guns N' Roses "very wobbly" while shooting one of their most famous videos

Slash and Duff drunk in 1990.

Come the start of the 90s, there were few bigger bands in the world than Guns N' Roses and few more bankable Hollywood stars than Arnold Schwarzenegger. Needless to say, then, that when the iconic entities came together for the filming of the video for GnR's latest single You Could Be Mine in early 1991, it created an instant moment of pop culture history.

You Could Be Mine was to be featured in Arnie's imminent blockbuster, Terminator 2: Judgement Day - something that the actor would later claim came about as the result of him personally hosting the band round his house. When it came to shooting a video for the song, which would later be included in the second part of GnR's colossal two-album Use Your Illusion release, it made perfect sense for the band and the man to try and work together for a huge bit of co-promotion.
