"Dead Horse" is a song by American rock band Guns N' Roses.

[1] The composition starts out with an acoustic section, which features a guitar riff written by lead vocalist Axl Rose.

Following the sound of a nutcracker, the electric guitars soon come in for the heavier section which dominates the song.

After the final climactic chorus, the opening section is reprised for another bar.

A music video made in 1993, directed by Louis Marciano, first appeared on the VHS only release entitled Garden of Eden: Strictly Limited Edition and later on the Welcome to the Videos compilation in 1998.
