There's an article about "Sweet Child O' Mine" in the current issue of Q magazine (Dave Grohl on the cover).
It explains the song's origin and has quotes from the band members, Mike Clink and the guy who mixed it.

Thanks for posting that article Jarmo. I already knew Slash hated the intro/song all together when it was first composed but didnt really know the rest of the band were less than thrilled about it. I guess even that far back, when Axl wanted something and the others didnt, he didnt take no for an answer and persued it to the end.

Thanks for that.
When they say "one, two, three takes" - do they mean the whole band played together during the recording, or each individual part took only a few takes to record?

Transforming Guns n Roses from a cult band to a mainstream phenomenon?
So, nobody in the band saw the song for what it is, except Axl.
and Slash still doesn't appreciate the 'stupid' tune but the great response from the audience? What a shame.
Without Axl the band wouldn't have had a chance to be a mainstream phenomenon.

This article once again shows how Axl was really the only one who knew how to develop gnr and make them into something great. I find it funny, their two biggest hits/most popular songs, SCOM and Nov Rain, only Axl liked them and thought they would be great while the rest of the band always hated those songs. I for one am glad Axl fought for those songs because they are two of the best songs in rock history.

There is no doubt that Axl's drive and pop sensibilities are what PUSHED them to the massive crossover success. Everybody obviously played their roles, but he is what took them from big to huge. At the time, he was the perfect combination of rock and pop. He could be as gnarly as any punk and as pop as Elton John. VERY rare mix.

This argument about Slash vs. Axl on this song always breaks down like the chicken vs. the egg theory and what came first.
Axl supposedly had the vision to know it was great, but without Slash there is no riff to write the song around. So who do you give credit to on the song?
Also, makes you wonder how many similar riffs/moments like this have been trashed in new-gnr because Axl would never finish a song in a day or 2 like this.
SCOM is a perfect example of why this whole wait gets more absurd by the minute. If you hit gold like they did on that, it doesn' take years to write an album. I have heard nothing from New GNR that even approaches SCOM, and it took a day or so.
Maybe instead of patting Axl on the back for his vision we should be patting the other 4 on the back for not allowing him to spend years fussing with a couple songs, otherwise we might still be waiting on SCOM. The new band could learn alot from those guys in that regard.

i won't call it "patting the other 4 on the back", cause the situation was much differnt back then. they/axl had no money, geffen just gave then some weeks to do an album. there wasn't even the chance to spend years on one song.

Thats why they both deserve credit.
Thats what Axl does best. He knows what works, he pushes the envelope, he make syou better. And thats why I have no worries witht his new band.
FOr starters I know Axl picked guys he feels are talented and can do damge with thier instruments. And I also know he will be able to get the best out of these guys.
ANd your whole "if they have some gems why is it taking so long" is pointless because you have no idea what is really holding this band back.
Just look at VR. Is that the best Slash can really do? Theres some good stuff there but nothing that made me say dam hes back or anything close to what he did in his hay day. Thats because he didnt have Axl to push him.
With CD we will be able to see if Slash has that same effect on Axl.

Axl's inability to release music has shown that it was obviously a 2-way street in terms of the whole "one pushing the other" thing. Call it what you will, but he never had problems the way he is now until those 4 left him.
If nothing else this article is a perfect demonstration of why those 5 were so perfect for eachother, and NONE of them have ever been close to the same since it ended.
