They are amazing, I haven't listened to them in ageas but suddenly picked up my guitar today (which is exactly the same as the red guitar Slash uses in the You Could Be Mine video) & started playing through all the songs I used to play of theirs. I was astonished I can still play almost 40 of their songs. I've had them on all day in my car singing along!

When I started playing all I learnt was Guns 'n' Roses, I'd sit next to the stereo just trying to work out their songs for years. I also have an incredibly memory for songs, for example I can play every silverchair song (from the cds, not b-sides) & nearly all Marilyn Manson songs (not that they are hard there's just alot of them), not to mention all the songs I play on acoustic which I also have to remember the lyrics too.
At the moment I'm learning You're Crazy 'cause that's one of the ones I never learnt for some reason. Got the intro so & the twiddly bits in the last chorus so I'm going to do the main solo today. Wish me luck!

Wish me luck! What about Estranged?...The old members in Gn`r said that they mess up that song almost everytime they play it because it`s so hard.

I just did the solo to You're Crazy. Estranged is alright, I can do it, it's so long though, when you're playing the whole time you tend to make mistakes 'cause you lose concentration. I often find myself day dreaming during playing songs that long & suddenly realise I finished playing the song & I can't remember it. Plus, I don't play it, or Coma or November Rain for that matter, very often as they are so long.
I don't really think it's that hard overall, & it shouldn't be for the old members anyway, I don't really see how it is. Then again, playing in my bedroom & in front of thousands of people is slightly different.

I couldn't play guitar to save my life when I started, just keep going, that's all that can be said. There were so many times when I wanted to give up, when you try & learn a song that's just too hard it's a real downer, I managed to keep pushing myself though, I've still got a long, long way to go but I'm really happy with what I can do & I know I put the effort in to deserve to be at the level I am (& I know how hard I worked to buy all the equipment, the only reason I got my first job was to buy the Mockingbird).

I found a video a while ago of Guns 'n' Roses, Skid Row & Metallica doing a joint set in a club somewhere. It wasn't an official gig or anything. Basically Slash, Duff & Lars were playing throughout. Sebastien Bach came on first & did It's So Easy & then a Skid Row song, then Axl came & did a song I can't remember, then Sebastien Bach joined him for Hair Of The Dog. After that Kirk Hammet & James Hetfield came on for a Metallica song but they all fucked up 'cause only the guys from Metallice knew how to play it. Anyway, that was rambling, don't really know why I said it I was just reminded.
