..and how does the band relate to the lyrics:
I WASN'T REALLY SCARED
LOST MY VIRGINITY THERE,
TO A GYPSY WITH BLOND HAIR
..did one of the memebers of Gn'R loose it to a gypsy with blonde hair?
..and if so, which one?

The Garden was written by Del James, Axl Rose and West Arkeen. It was written prior to the band recording Appetite for Destruction. This is fact. More then likely the song is about drugs, but its also about the streets of LA, and a much darker
Under the Bridge
type song which talks about L.A. as being a woman and Axl, Del and West holding it close to their heart. The song is also likely to have been one that Axl wrote while squatting, and its also more social commentary then anything else
As for the blonde whom one of the band members lost their virginity to, you have to remember that only axl from the band wrote the lyrics, and it was either him, West or Del who lost their virginity to her so

..from what I can gather, Slash and Adler were a hit with the chicks, even before they had do$h. I know little about Izzy, although I think it was Izzy who said that Axl wasn't really a hit with the girls (back when they were at school). So maybe Axl was the one who lost it to a gypsy with blonde hair. Obviously Axl these days with all his ca$h is a chick magnet, attracting all the wrong sorts. I guess there's just no winning
'I Guess There's Just No Winning' - hmmm.. sounds like a good title for a song

I always assumed this song was about the perilious border between love/lust.

i think its completely about drugs or sex? think about it gypsy with blond hair?, or even the part about only poor boys take a chance on the gardens song and dance.... its either about the forbidden fruit like idea or drugs.

The way I heard it Axl was hanging out with Del and West and they decided to see what they could come up with if they just took a bunch of pills and wrote down whatever came into their minds and then turned it into a song. In other words its not really about anything specific, just whatever they thought up whilst on drugs.
Here we go, from the HTGTH page about the song: "
A hallucinatory experience penned by Axl and West Arkeen, "The Garden" features a breathtakingly eerie vocal passage where Alice, in vintage Coop spoken-word style, delivers lyrics written by RIP's Del James.
"
And apparently Alice Cooper was on there because when they'd done demos part of Axl's singing sounded a lot like Alice Cooper and they decided to see if he would do it, "instead of just ripping off his style".

I read somewhere that it's about the Manson family and Spawn ranch.
That's interesting... now that I think about it... the lyrics fit that pretty well.
