Here Today... Gone To Hell!

did they actually do a real love song ?
not a "broken-love "or "lost-love"  song
a real one
about a love that is working and all.

looks like all their famous love songs ( sweetchild, nov rain, dont cry ...) are not really love songs ....

 ???

Sweet Child O' Mine was written for Axl's girlfriend at the time.  ???

I guess that's what you're looking for.

scom is kinda about a past love , isnt it ?
and all the
" where do we go ..." not really the best thing to ask yourself in relationship ...

Everything in that song suggests present-tense, so that answers your question.

but their love isnt at a good point if he asks " where do we go ? "

so blah blah blah.

Are you sure? Maybe he's just singing about their future and not knowing what'll happen?  :P

sweet child has got to be the sweetest love song ever imo. it's nothing post love, broken love nor lost love as far as i can see!

her hear reminds me of a warm safe place..  :love:

i dunno, in my case, i have a great girlfriend, and i know where im going.

im going to eat some crepes my mom just made  ;D

ive always regarded 'think about you' as a love song but hey what do i know

My Michelle... okey, that song was maybe writtin on demand and pity.... ALMOST love though...  : ok: :peace:

I agree,but what do I know : ok:

SCOM!  :yes:  :beer:  :drool:  ;D  :-*

But I know who its really wrote about though!  :P
Well who I think its wrote for!

Think About You is lurvy durvy!

What about ROCKET QUEEN?

I ve always thought SCOM as a love song but after reading the post and on reflection may be it is not...

It seems more like an obsession or being star struck by a gal...not necessarily a "Working Relationship". It s like one of thoses things....when a gal who hav fallen for is in the same room...u just cant help but look at her... the lyrics seem to suggest that sort of feeling...
may be the intros that Axl does also suggest this sort of idea.


She s got a smile that is seems to me reminds me of childhood memories...
She got eyes of the bluest skies....
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place....

Hence the song ends with "where do we go now"
Where will my love go now....

Also think about the Sail away sweet sister/ bad time intro to SCOM
"i m in love with a gal i ve been talking about, i m in love with a gal i cant live without.......i ' m in love but i must have picked a bad time to be in love

Thimk about you...again is not about a working relationship...it more post...reflection....

Ooh it was the best time I can remember
Ooh and the love we shared - is lovin' that'll
last forever

the use of word WAS...suggest past.

Rocket Queen
more like letting someone know how much you care
especially the ending bit....

What about "so fine" ?

SCOM was wriiten for Erin Everly,Axls first wife,I read that she was his high school sweetheart.

Actually when I first heard this song I thought it was a love song (and lirically it is so). But I still can understand what it has to Johnny Thunders?

Yeah but when he wrote the song and clip was shot they still were together. And that "Where do we go..." sounds like had some doubts about their common future. Same like "Think about you" where he really uses "was"

That's true,but Izzy wrote Think About You

"think about u" is bout Mr.Brownstone.......so the love a drug but its also a pastence

Maybe,but can you prove it ;)

High school? I doubt that since Axl didn't go to school in L.A.

I always had a warm place in my heart for Back Off Bitch

hehe

"Used to Love Her" is without a doubt GNR's greatest love song.   :D



Umm, where the hell are you getting your information on this?  The song lyrics suggest nothing of the kind.

stop yelling :crying:


 Alright I belive that they say something hintin towards this in an interview that has the whole band explaining all the songs way back in '87 and i cant seem to find that interview on the webpage....i might be blind though.....but if anyone knows Izzy almost all the songs ...if not all of Izzy songs are about drugs or somethng fuckin close....Izzy isnt about the lovey dovey shit! thats axl Izzy was more about a lot of sex a whole lot more drugs and rock n roll
 

I would have to GUESS, they are about a lost love.

Fair enough, but it doesn't make sense that Izzy would write a song called "Mr. Brownstone" and then write another one about the same subject.

Izzy: It's a quick love song about drugs, sex, Hollywood and money.

Fact.

Good enough.  Thanks for the quote.   : ok:

nice info! I didn't know that.

I read that Izzy ( who wrote Think about you) said it was a classic love song about a man and his drugs. Very L.A. and very heroin.

Doesn't anyone think Patience is a love song?? I know when I heard it I cried. I would have done anything to have someone feel that way about me.
I think it's about someone falling in love with someone who's been badly burned in the heart and needs to take it slow before giving it up again.
I know if God decides to send someone to me he would have to be very Patient because I don't believe in love anymore.  

Sweet Child is great whichever way you think of it.
Hell all of them are better than "I used to love her" I thought that was funny until the ex dedicated it to me regularly.  
I think I'm right cause Axl just came on the radio for me.

Rock on

sorta this.. but they've known each other for a long time and he even threatened to kill himself if she wouldn't agree to be his wife.
Such a romantic story has such an ugly end. ;)

Ever thought about Bad Obsession?  ;)

Erm What about So Fine that song is so cool

Yeah i reckon that would b a real love song :yes:

My World.  When he says; "Guess what I'm doing now..." you know what he's talking about..self love... [rofl]

To end this discussion.

Sweet Child O' Mine is a love song.

Axl: It's the first positive love song I've ever written, but I never had anyone to write anything about before, I guess.

Izzy: That's a real love song.

Is there something more you need to be convinced?

Thanks for the infro about I think About You. I also never knew that.

I would have to go with theses songs for a love song,

It's So Easy
Anything Goes
Used To Love Her
You Aint The First
Back Off Bith
You Could Be Mine
and I Don't Care About You

Jk

I would go with Sweet Child O' Mine Novmber Rain, So Fine and Since I Don't Have You.
