Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I read somewhere that "I Used to Love Her" was actually about Axl having to euthanize his dog.
Does anyone know if this is true?

I heard the same thing back in high school - that the line "she bitched so much" was actually "she bit so much."  However, I think Axl's intro on the Live Era album debunks that theory pretty solidly.

I never heard the Live Era album.  What did Axl's intro say?

"As you know, most of our songs are written with an element of truth.  This is the only one we wrote as a joke or fantasy, cos its kinda a sick subject.  This is called "I used to love her, but i had to kill her"

That's from memory, more or less how it is. 

I think he actually gets even more descript saying something along the lines of, "when your girlfriend or boyfriend gets on your nerves and you just can't take it anymore."

"this is something of gn'r lies, now if you know anything about ut you know that we write most of our songs with based of an element of truth, this is like, the only song we've written out of kinda like fantasy or a joke you know 'cause it's kinda of a sick subject, but sometimes you think about it when you're girlfriend or boyfriend is a pain in the fucking assand you wish you could just cut their fucking head of and stuff it in a bag and stick it in the backyard this is something called i used to love her but i had to kill her"

something like that is it, some words may be wrong but that's basicly it : ok:

thank you

Go to Songs N' Lyrics -> Lies -> I Used... for some quotes from the band.

actually i think he said "u just want to hit her head with a shovel"  :rofl:

not on the live era version

Regardless, O.J.'s favorite song...

Why?

Because he likes acoustic guitars.

Oh, okay.
