"Sweet Child o' Mine"

I don't know if any of you listen to Guns and Roses anymore. Anyway I was listening to Sweet child o' mine last night and I asked my boyf if he felt the same way about me ans Axl does about the girl in the song and he said no because she is dead.

I don't think she is

What do you think?

(lyrics for reference)

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that
special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me
of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine

What do you think sounded better: The original band with Izzy Stradlin and Steve Adler, or the band as they were when the split with Gilby Clark and Matt Soruem?

I reckon Izzy was better than gilby, but matt was WAY better than steve!

Ok, email me your address and I'll try and do a CD over the weekend sometime.

Just listen to it with an open mind, that's all I ask.

If you make me CD up I'll try my best to listen to whole thing

G'n'R ROCK! Slash woz a bit 5hit* although the whole band together sounded great!

*His solos may have sounded great, but bear in mind that he only ever used 1 scale! (Pentatonic Minor).

I have a wider appriciated of music than you. I do not limit myself to one particular genre, which is what you seem to have done. This is bad for you. It gives you a blinkered view and makes you think that miserable whiny music a la Coldplay and Radiohead are actually any good.

If you were to broaden your horizons and listen to other forms of music, you might be quite suprised.

I could do a CD for you if you want?

The alternate version

better lyrics

You like trance

Shhh and go have another monster dump

Dreadful

Dreadful

Dreadful!??!

That's it. I suspected you had absolutely no taste in music, and now you have proven it to me.

Gah!
