I was GNR fan since Appetite was released and Sweet Child solo was the first decent solo I actually managed to nail at 16, mainly because I practiced it six hours a day, seven days a week.
I loved the song at the time, because it was three chords and easy to make sound good, even with a single guitar in the mix and, of course I could nail the Party piece.
But I also hated that song a bit even then because my intonation was always out as the bridge was liable to move on my Les Paul copy. I always played the intro with three fingers, I can't see that it is hard, unless you cannot remember the melody.
These days it ranks on a par with Cher's 'Believe' which was one of five songs the factory I worked at for a year, played back to back as it was all they would dish out for. Seriously head fucking.
I always though Slash stole and adapted Ratt's 'Scene of the Crime' intro for Sweet Child of Bum.
Also Nightrain sounded alot like the Back for More chorus
(GNR) It's so Easy - She wants money (Ratt)
(GNR) Anything Goes - Back For More
(GNR) Rocket Queen - You're in trouble (Ratt) verse sections
....maybe there is nothing there and it was just an eighties thing, there there seem to be a few parallel in the formula
Function/party bands play what the crowd wants, at least the successful ones do.
