"garden of eden" was written while the band was rehearsing for an extended period of time in chicago. there is a music video of the song, filmed in one static take (shot through a fish eye lens) which features a close-up of rose singing into a ribbon microphone with the band playing behind him, whilst keyboardists dizzy reed and teddy andreadis (who played the harmonica for the band during the "use your illusion" tour) are seen dancing in the far background. there are two versions of the video, both made in 1992. one version has strips of paper flying through the air, and is mostly found on music video sites like yahoo! music. the other version has lyrics onscreen, complete with a "follow-the-bouncing-ball", but with no paper flying around. this is the version that is on the guns n' roses music video compilation "welcome to the videos".
