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.

Of course, it is a Axl's creation.

20 years, thanks! That makes me feel old! lol

Well its not really just an Axl creation.......it was the original band that created it.

True, I hear it on the radio often, but it's normally the edited version that skips one of the solos completely

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

I was in high school at the time and I had friends who scoffed at it because they listened to Led Zeppelin.  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.
