for memory sakes. November Rain has to be among the best songs made in the past 20 years.

Definitely. VH1 did a top 20 songs of the last 20 years. I think GNR was on there, don't remember for which song.

I love G N R.Appetite For Destruction is second only to Dark Side of the Moon in my book.

Anyone ever figure out how Stephanie Seymour died in that video?

I also liked GNR's version of "Live & Let Die" - probably my favorite song by them.

I could only stand so much of Axel's whining...

Maybe she got killed by Axl's ego.

I don't know if they've ever given a real answer as to how she died in the video, but if you look at the video, when Axl is kneeling at her coffin, she has a black mask over the left side of her face. That's generally something that's used when someone dies in an auto accident or is disfigured in some way so they can still have an open casket at their funeral. So however she went, it wasn't pretty.

I read the short story that "November Rain" is based on.

She shot herself.

Yeah, it's good. I dated a guy once who hated that song, and that was one of the reasons that led to our breakup.

My granny loves to wear her Guns & Roses t-shirt, so I guess she likes them too.

Going off on a tangent... the unofficial nickname for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department (PAPD) is 'Guns 'n Hoses' - they also provide the crash fire rescue for New York City's three major airports, JFK, La Guardia and Newark Liberty.

I Love November Rain.

It's one of my favourite songs.

Brings back good memories too.
