Here is wat the gunners had to say about the song …
Sweet Child O’ Mine
Axl
“That’s a true story about my girlfriend at
this time. /../ I had written this poem, reached a dead end with it and
put it on the shelf. Then Slash and Izzy got working together
on songs and I came in, Izzy hit a rhythm, and all of a sudden
this poem popped in my head. It just all came together. A lot of rock bands are too fucking
wimpy to have any sentiment or any emotion in any of their stuff
unless they’re in pain. It’s the first positive love song I’ve
ever written, but I never had anyone to write anything about before, I guess.”

Slash
“If you listen to “Sweet Child of Mine,” the tempo on the very
beginning is different from when the drums come in, which is a little
faster. I had to play the beginning 50 times to
get it right with the drums.”

[In The Classic Way, Guitar - Sep, 1988]
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. But it
definitely wasn’t something I hummed out in my head. It was more like
me fucking around with the guitar. “

Slash
“The band was signed already, and the rest of the band had moved on to
greener pastures, living with some girls or something. But where Izzy
and I lived, we had no electricity and no hot water. It was a house
some manager – with whom we had no intentions of working with – rented
us, which we destroyed completely. And on an evening everybody happened
to be there, I was sitting in front of the broken down fireplace going
[sings opening bars]. It was literally a joke! The next thing you know,
Izzy started playing the basic chords, Axl got inspired and started
singing.”

Duff
“It was probably the hardest song for me
and Steve to record, just because you have to keep a steadiness
and also keep the emotion in it. /../ The thing about ‘Sweet Child,’ it was written in five
minutes. It was one of those songs, only three chords. You know
that guitar lick Slash does at the beginning? It was kinda lika
a joke because we thought, ‘What is this song? It’s gonna be nothin’,
it’ll be filler on the record.’ And except that vocal-wise, it’s
very sweet and sincere, Slash was fuckin’ around when he first
wrote that lick.”

This is the continuation of Friends Part I … so the question where i left u guys was :-
But why was i mentioning only second semester ?? Didn’t we do the same things in 3rd and 4th sem ??
Let me start by giving u guys an idea of what used to happen in 2nd sem .. after attending classes i used to go to “BC room ” ( i.e Pagare’s and Chirag’s room ) . I used to find at least 4-5 of my friends doing BC .This would go on till night with some walks around the campus in between . I remember how we used to spend night-outs during holidays , the initial 3-4 hrs would be pure BC but after that when everybody would get bored , I use to create polls , many would give interesting answers . I used to rock at this .. kya karein i was an EAMCET guy .. 
.
But after second sem everyone bought these “Anti-GroupBC” laptops . I call them “Anti-GroupBC” ( © Maruti Borker ) because by using them u can do BC alone lying on your bed and will find yourself to be too lazy to do Group BC .So most of my friends spent there 3rd sem in front of their respective systems and number of night outs decreased and even in those night out i could hardly find 5 ppl . And also people started growing serious towards studies and thus we used to had to force group meetings just to do BC . This was forced BC and i hated it .
Is there anyway by which all these laptops could vanish and all those golden days frm 2nd sem could be back ??? I know it sounds stupid … and i also know that lappies are not only meant for BC . I just want to go back into my second sem and enjoy those days.I thing is for sure , second semester life will be the best moments of my whole college life and i will never forget them ..
Song of the Day: “Wicker Man” by Iron Maiden .. maiden is cool

Well wikipedia suggests that Friendship is a term used to denote co-operative and supportive behaviour between two or more social entities. Well i was a fool to search the meaning of friendship in wiki rather than finding it in my mind ( i don’t believe that heart and mind are different things ) . I had a different meaning to friendship when i was in my school . I used to think that .. we all have to split into pairs of best friends and then dont care for others .. yes u may be thinking that i am a psycho but this is wat i felt when i was in school. I used to have only one good friend , and other classmates were just classmates nothing more nothing less . I used to limit my self only to one guy , but mind you the other guy had healthy relations with others . And i used to hate it …. i just wished that there could be a friend that would only be mine and only mine . I must have been damn selfish , i must have been a weirdo .. i simply dunno .
Even in intermediate i tried to restrict myself to not more than 3 friends . But those days were different we never had time to think about relationships because we had to prepare like hell in our Jails ( as Prof Govindarajulu calls them ) for EAMCET ( read EAMSHIT ) . So wat maruti why did u blog ??? now people will think that u are more weird than they thought !! Are you happy now ?? . Well i have written this blog to express the change which i have undergone after coming to IIIT .
I remember how i used to restrict myself only to two friends in the first semester… i thought that they were the most important part of my life .Then in my second semester i met the best circle of friends i could ever find .. and i thank god for it . They changed my outlook towards friendship .. now i have 15 great friends …. and i was feeling better than i used to ever before . I will always be thankful to all these guys for changing my definition of friendship .
I will always cherish the great times we had in second semester .. those endless BC hours , those group studies before exams ,those visits to malls for doing window-shopping and to increase our frustooness by looking at hot females , those painful birthdays , the walks around the campus , the fun in nicknaming somebody . Ah so many memories to remember .. i wish i could upgrade my Memory power lolz .
But why am i mentioning only second semester ?? Didn’t we do the same things in 3rd and 4th sem ??

Remember the old school days …. you are sitting with your best buddy and the class turns out to be the most boring lecture of your life .. and both of u look at each other with a evil grin on your face and only one thing running in your mind “Lets play some timepass games ” ….
Well as far i remember i used to play the following games :-
1.Tic-Tac-Toe:- I assume everyone would have played this … doesn’t need anything except for a rough paper and a pen 
… hours of fun and masti
2.Pen Fight :- The ultimate fights of machines .. eh pens . You just need a table and two pens to play this awesome game … i used to play with a bulky steel pen .. which used to beat all those weak and poor plastic pens . I remember the steel pens were banned due to this reason .
3.Join-The-Dots:- well i dont remeber the exact name of the game .. firstly we used to draw a matrix made by dots and then we had to join those dots to form a square and then write the first letter of our name in the box …. the one who gets more boxes wins .
4.Hollywood-Bollywood :- The old fill-in-the blanks game … but i used to suck at this .
5.Flames :- Its a small game by which we used to predict the relation between two people .. it used to be fun linking some of friends with others .. and some times we used link them with our teachers and aayas .
Forgive me if i haven’t listed your favorite game .. just comment it .
I am missing my school days so much … all my batch-mates had a reunion on the day when i had 3 midsems .

Have been reading Kurt Cobain’s Biography recently …and went thru some of quotes .. some of them were awesome .. so thought posting some .. so here goes :-
1.“I’d rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.”
2.”Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are”
3.“It’s better to burn out than fade away.”
4.“I Hate myself and I want to die”
5.“Never met a wiseman if so it’s a woman!”
6.“Rather be dead than cool”
7.“If you die you’re completely happy and your soul
somewhere lives on. I’m not afraid of dying. Total peace after death,
becoming someone else is the best hope I’ve got.”
8.“Don’t expect me to cry for all the reasons you had to die.”
9. “If you ever need anything please don’t hesitate to ask someone else first.”
10. “If it’s illegal to rock and roll, throw my ass in jail!”
11. “Before i die many will die with me and they will deserve it. See you in hell.”
12.“Nobody Dies Virgin , life fucks us all “
13.”The instinct of nearly all societies is to lock up anybody who is
truly free. First, society begins by trying to beat you up. If
this fails, they try to poison you. If this fails too, the
finish by loading honors on your head.

After Harshita sang the song “Zombie” by Cranberries @ Freshers 05 , I ( well the whole batch ) went ga ga over that song . But after that i didnt listen to any other Cranberries songs , recently my friend suggested me to listen to “Promises ” by Cranberries . After that i have listened to it for atleast 25 times continously .The lyrics are so damn good , i wud suggest all my blog readers to listen to this song .
Here are the lyrics :-
You better belive I’m coming
You better believe what I say
You better hold on to your promises
Because you bet, you’ll get what you deserve
She’s going to leave him over
She’s gonna take her love away
So much for your eternal vows, well
It does not matter anyway
Why can’t you stay here awhile
Stay here awhile
Stay with me
Oh, all the promises we made
All the meaningless and empty words
I prayed, prayed, prayed
Oh, all the promises we broke
All the meaningless and empty words
I spoke, spoke, spoke
Do-do-do, do-do-do,
Do-do-do, do-do-do
What of all the things that you taught me
What of all the things that you’d say
What of all your prophetic preaching
You’re just throwing it all away
Maybe we should burn the house down
Have ourselves another fight
Leave the cobwebs in the closet
’cos tearing them out is just not right
Why can’t you stay here awhile
Stay here awhile
Stay with me, oh oh
Oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Oh eh, oh eh x3
Do-do-do, do-do-do,
Do-do-do, do-do-do
