I only read a little bit. el oh el material right there 

[Robman?]

Sounds like someone just speculating on the meaning of the song, pretty interesting though

[estebanf]

Those interpretations, especially the TWAT one, are really interesting.

Axl is a fucking genius. 13 years after the broke up, we can clearly see that Axl was the only brilliant mind in Guns N' Roses.

Thank God that the glorious name of Guns N' Roses is in his hands.

-There Was A Time-
We see a describtion of a place, with broken glass, cigarettes, writings on the wall.
..heh, sounds like a real dive, a low life graffiti covered hell hole?

-There Was A Time-
..and she did everything for him. But she couldn't remember where she was, she was sleeping with other people - her lawyers, her doctors, even strangers, she was unfaithful to him.
Unfaithful sounds like an understatement. Who ever she was, she sounds like a right slapper, user, drug abuser..?
heh, that would make a good title for a song *Slapper, User, Drug-abuser..*

'Writing on the wall' is an expression, meaning a clear indication of impeding failure, or any other negative outcome.

Those "interpretations" are pretty superficial, not looking below the surface for the wordings, the contexts, etc. Just typing out the lyrics and figuring a meaning for them.

Big Deal.

Yea, Izzy's song writing on AFD and UYIs wasn't brilliant, and oh yea, those guitar solos in SCOM, NR, NT, Estranged, Coma, etc, etc, etc, weren't genius either.

Got to love people like you who think there was no contribution from the old band that's worth a damn.

To all the Stephanie Seymour bashers, it must feel slighly weird to have one of the worlds biggest rockstars keep writing songs about the relationship.

Yeah, again not wanting to change the direction of the topic, but if you read everything Axl and other people have said about that particular relationship you come away with the distinct impression that she fucked Axl off big time, there is an interview with Beta somewhere where she goes over the stuff Stephanie allegedly did to Axl... allegedly being the key word there as he did alot of shit aswell. The lyrics could be years old, good song though!

Axl is such a great songwriter!

Girls will be girls?
While Axl spends untold amounts of time writing songs with Stephanie in mind,
i bet Stephanie has long moved on and thinks along the lines of get over it..?

She can look very hot:


She can also look not so hot:

Haha, I'm the one who asked that question.  I wrote in right around when the songs were first coming to light.

Yeah.... it's shit. Just a literal paraphrase that really doesn't answer the question at all. Pretty lame that this is floating around as 'expert' advice...

yeah a decade+years after the breakups would he still sing just about those particular exes?
every new song is about his long past love and breakup?
