    It's a great song. One of the best power ballads ever IMO!

    Not a favorite but it's a much better song than Nov Rain.  PJ does lots of ballads though. GNR did not.  Eddie has a much better voice for those types of songs.  Axel is a screamer, top notch at the majority of their songs but totally out of place in a ballad.

    Plus the fake string part was tedious as hell.  The outro more painful than childbirth.

    And there is Sirens. :lol: I'll put in my vote for that being the WORST power ballad ever.

    The outro is the best part! The rest of the song is pretty cheesy IMO, but when it restarts, the drums kick in, and Slash does his thing (standing on top of the piano at shows) it’s a whole different beast.

    1. November Rain is amazing.

    2. Weren't you surprised by it being such a big juggernaut on youtube - bigger than any other music video/single from that era.

    yes the guitar part is great....I was referring more to the strings lead into the piano prior to the drums/guitar.  Just remembering how painful it was to watch that video.
