Awww, isn't that sad? Someone doesn't remember the name to a song. Well, maybe Guns N' Roses should just quit while they're ahead, I mean selling close to 100 million records in only 6 years of being active isn't good enough...

No, it happens to people who are in their fifties.

Not for everyone. Lots of celebrities and musicians look way older than they are. (Hell Britney Spears looks like she's 50..and she's only in 20's...)

38.5 million sales in America. 61.5ish million (maybe not quite 100 million, yet) elsewhere.

Also, GnR has stayed in the Billboard Top 200 for the past 124 weeks, and their Greatest Hits album, (which members of the band were against; as well as many fans), is right now at #64, more than two years after it came out, with 3 million copies sold in the US alone.

3 million records in the us and how many elsewhere in regards to their greatest hits album.

And as you clearly pointed out, they haven;t even sold 100 million records and the fact is they probably might come close but never will.

And my pinion remains the same: guns and roses should not be making mroe music. Axl should check himself into rehab and we should all forget this ever happened.

You've had like every second post in this thread and you don't even know the name of one of their most famous songs.

And the other members were sick of Axl, they didn't tire out. They went on to make Velvet Revolver, unfortunately fronted by Weiland but never the less they still produced above average music, as far as the music went.

Stay off the big dumb GNR bashing bandwagon until you have a clue. Thank you.
