Look at your game girl

[Axlspants]

I love this song, it puts me off to think Charles Manson wrote it originally. I love Axls vocals on the GnR version. Anybody know much about the song and why Axl chose to cover it? (other than his love for courting controversy)

[Len Cnut]

If it makes you feel better Axl Rose used to beat women. I mean he didn't kill em but then he's always been an underachiever eh?

Charles Manson or, "chuckles" as I like to call him, was an aspiring songwriter back in the late '60s. He got one of the Beach Boys to record a tune of his, so Axl's not the only one. In fact, one of the houses targeted in the murders had formerly belonged to a record executive who had turned chuckles down in the past.

His music is pretty lame. Generic folky stuff.

He was a hippy, an aspiring songwriter, who hung out at Laurel Canyon (which was where all of the LA hippies and counter-culture types lived during the '60s) with people like Dennis Wilson and Neil Young.

Yeah, can you imagine those parties? Guns had a similar, albeit much, much darker vibe going on in the practice studio off Sunset Boulevard and Gardner Street.

[Tom-Ass]

Well thanks guys.. I may have read it in the past but forgot. Always liked the song though

They did. This wasn't like 'My World' where they found out by listening to the record.

As for YCPYAOAM:

Slash: I didn't even play on the Johnny Thunders song cos I hated that little fucker! [Kerrang, March 1994].

[MrShankly]

I thought i remembered slash saying in an old interview he had to ask someone what the last chord was? So i thought it was Slash playing, but it was maybe a different song he was talking about?

Hadn't heard the gardener story haha

No, it is true. He said that he had to call Carlos (the gardener) to ask about that last chord . It was in the 1994 Rockline interview.

Duff was trying to take over the band.

[Chuzeville]

Was Carlos bresilian?

[gunsfanoldie]

Duff was trying to take over the band.

He should have. I would have wanted a whole album like New Rose.

[wasted]

It doesnt pay to try

[RandallFlagg]

I think it's brill, I'm actually a big fan of Manson's songs and find him one intriguing dude. I really like that Axl sang that song, amazing combination of two guys I find endlessly fascinating in their own peculiar ways of seeing the world.
