Title: Sweet Child O' Mine... Post by: Bruno Poeys on July 01, 2007, 06:07:00 PM I was reading mygnr and read a quote from Slash:
Sweet Child O' Mine" was a joke. It was a fluke. I was sitting around making funny faces and acting like an idiot and played that riff. Izzy started playing the chords that I was playing, strumming them, and all of a sudden Axl really liked it. I hated that song because it was so stupid at first. I hated the guitar part. Now I really like it because I've gotten it to the point where it sounds really good when I play it live, and I'm so used to the song so I like it a lot more. So, Slash created the riff while he was joking around, Izzy played it and Axl said "yeah this riff is gonna be on Sweet Child o' Mine"? I don't know, but this just makes sense. Slash created a riff and Axl said "this will be on AFD" or "this will not be on AFD". We don't know, but I always thought that Axl was the one who gave the final word. I know he's got the creative control on UYI, but... he had the creative control of the band even before it? Even on AFD? I really don't know, but now I'm pretty sure he's the one who made Sweet Child O' Mine that great. Thoughts, please. Title: Re: Sweet Child O' Mine...
