Title: 20th Anniversary of "Sweet Child O' Mine" as #1 single in USA (Sept 10-23, 1988) Post by: King Axl on September 11, 2008, 07:17:28 PM www.liketotally80s.com/billboard-number-one-hits.html#1988
Can't believe it's been twenty years! Best part about it is that I still hear the song almost daily on the radio. A true classic.

Best part about it is that I still hear the song almost daily on the radio. A true classic. Of course, it is a Axl's creation.

Stilling a cracking song after all these years. Better than most of the crap out these days at any rate.

I thought Led Zeppelin was so old and out-dated at the time. But when SCOM came out...Led Zep was only about 15 years old. That's more recent than GNR is now.
The first time I heard the song I was in a summer school class, listening in the back of the class to someone's cassette tape deck...while my summer school teacher was praising the future President of America, Michael Dukakis. |
