I used to love them...

Lauren at Feministe shared her Guns n' Roses connection yesterday. Memories galore for me on that one - I was a serious fan in my teens and saw them play at Slane Castle in Ireland on their Use Your Illusion tour in 1992 (the only show I ever queued overnight to buy tickets for). While I don't have my homemade 'I Love You Slash' t-shirt anymore, Appetite for Destruction will always be up there in terms of my perfect albums and 'Rocket Queen' is simply just one of those songs. Axel does look a little like he's been hitting the chemical peels a little heavy these days but it's nice to see that Slash is still rockin' it as cool as ever with Velvet Revolver (he is always destined to be so much better than the vocalists he works with).
