My dad told me he never liked Guns N Roses but he loved Sweet Child of Mine and as a man with a daughter it made him tear up.

youre right. the pedestrian plodding quality of it really helps you understand whats good about guns and roses

a lot of people heard that intro on the san andreas ad and nanananananananana naaaa they realised
wait, this is actually a good laugh, it's fun, i can enjoy it now. i wonder why these qualities were
previously obscured?

when guitar music had turned inwards and got self-conscious. this is why GnR were so uncool, probably the most uncool band
in history at that time

the only person i came across who liked them was an Argentinan called Manuel whos bedroom (he was 12 or 13 at the time)
was plastered with porno pictures. centrefolds ripped out and pasted up. his dad was an executive with Lynx/Ax body spray.

The bit where he switches from his speaking voice to his singing voice at 0:35 in the one I posted is nuts, like the possession and voices thing we discussed in The Harlequin.

The guitar hero games also helped their resurgence. suddenly everyone loved slash

The Buckethead debacle was strange. There are clips of them playing huge arenas in Japan or wherever and they have to stop the show in the middle so he can start doing The Robot, waving nunchucks around and soloing. I love him, but he's too odd a character to really work in a band like that.

And slash is a likeable figure. The classic guitar guy archetype in that he's very shy and possibly ashamed but his inner world is totally bitchin

bucketheads bucket is because he's an weirdo freak and nerd while slash's is a trick to draw eyes away from his face
