Welcome to the Jungle (1988-) "Sweet Child O' Mine" (1988-) Nightrain (1988-)
"Sweet Child O' Mine" is the name of a song by the hard rock band Guns N' Roses. It was released on their debut album Appetite for Destruction on August 10, 1987.
"Sweet Child O' Mine" was Guns N' Roses' first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100, spending three weeks at the top spot in the summer of 1988. The song is credited as being written by Guns N' Roses as a band, but it's basically Slash's riff, Izzy's chords (for verses and chorus) and Axl's lyrics. The subject of the song is generally thought to be lead singer Axl Rose's then-girlfriend and eventual wife, Erin Everly.
This song is listed on the "100 Greatest Guitar Solos" from Guitar World as number thirty-seven, and also came in at number three on Blender's 500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born, and at number 196 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. In March 2005, Q magazine placed it at number 6 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. The introduction's famous D-flat based riff was also voted number-one riff of all-time by the readers of Total Guitar magazine. Former Guns N' Roses' lead guitarist, Slash, had been quoted as having a disdain for the song due to its roots as simply a technical exercise and a joke at the time.[citation needed] The lyrics were written by Axl Rose as a love letter to his girlfriend at the time.
In a VH1 special, it was stated that Slash played the riff in a jam session as a joke. Drummer Steven Adler and Slash were warming up and Slash began to play a "circus" melody while making faces at Steven. Adler asked him to play the riff again, and Izzy Stradlin came in with the chords. Axl became intrigued and started singing the poem he had written.
Axl Rose originally pitched the video concept (which was later to be rejected) of "Sweet Child O' Mine" to be about an Asian woman who brings a child into a foreign land, only for it later to be found that the baby was dead and filled with drugs (in an attempt at drug trafficking). This fact was revealed in a surprise interview Axl Rose did on Eddie Trunk Rocks, in May 2006.[citation needed]

Cover versions and re-recordings
The song has been covered by many artists including Texas, Sheryl Crow, Most Precious Blood, Akasha featuring Neneh Cherry, Schmoof, Flat Pack, Luna and The Aluminium Group. The song was also performed in many live concerts by country singer Carrie Underwood, opening with her alone on acoustic guitar and using her voice to reference Slash's intro guitar tones, before launching into a full band rock-out. Bonnie Tyler performed it on the for Charity DVD Rock For Asia in 2005.
It was partially performed by Linkin Park at Rock am Ring on March 6, 2001. The Manic Street Preachers also frequently play it as an introduction to their song "Motown Junk" in live concerts. The main riff is also sampled by Red Hot Chili Peppers at the end of the song "Punk Rock Classic". The intro is also sampled in a song on the Fort Minor mixtape, titled "S.C.O.M.". Avenged Sevenfold frequently use the opening riff as a segue between songs during live concerts.
In 1999, the song was re-recorded with the then-new Guns N' Roses members and was in the film Big Daddy. It was not featured on the original soundtrack album of the movie. The song was also featured in the 1990 film State of Grace, in a bar during a brawl.
