[edit] Second highest selling single????

'Sweet Child', 'Jungle' and 'Paradise' were all top 10, whereas this was only... top 30 or somethin.... what is the argument for this one selling more than Jungle or Paradise? cos I cant figure it out - unless it stayed at fx #55 for a straight ten years - which I find somewhat unlikely

[edit] ?

if You Could Be Mine was #33 or somethin in the US, and Sweet Child O' Mine was 1, Patience 4, November Rain 3, Paradise 5, etc, HOW CAN IT BE THEIR SECOND GREATEST SINGLE (could the writer have misunderstood, that it is their next biggest in the UK, where only Knocking On Heavens Door defeats it?)

Those songs' chart positions were only compared to other singles released from other artists at the time. plus, over time the songs would continue to sell. compared to other gnr songs, it could be the second highest selling single24.154.199.103 02:21, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Source

Is there a source for the song being about izzy's relationship and not one of Axl's? 74.73.74.241 19:22, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Guitars

I think someone should edit the article to more accurately reflect the guitar choices Slash made when performing this song live. He did indeed use a red BC Rich Mockingbird but there is footage of him using various Les Pauls to play this song. Notably the footage from the infamous St. Louis show. To the best of my knowledge, Slash started using the Mockingbird a little later on in the tour for this song.129.32.108.57 (talk) 21:32, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
