Now imagine that you only listened to that garbage, then you hear the opening notes of Sweet Child O Mine. It blew our minds. We were slaves to the sophisticated yet stripped down beauty that shook us to our cores after only listening to glam and grunge crap for all of our lives. It must have been what seeing Beethoven's first show except if he wasn't a frilly ***got. GNR was SO RAW that they really wiped out everything before it, especially when there's only crap on the radio. I know it's hard to understand looking back, but you should love GNR like I do because they're the hardest and most extreme band to ever exist, even more than screamo!

I've actually heard that sentiment a lot from non-Chulas. I don't think he was ever on about them anyways.
