Nobody has ever agreed with me, but I think Sheryl Crow's version of "Sweet Child o Mine" is much better - the original is too whiny, I hate his voice.

I will now accept your scorn.

Tbh I’ve never heard of that version so I’ll check it out. Admittedly, I like the high pitched wailing of the original, but art is subjective and there are very few wrong answers.

This is very kind of you to say ❤️

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Nah you can have it, its a good version. The best thing about the g&r version is the bass, its the most well produced bass on like any recording ever. Other than that its bogged down with Axl and Slash just being massive cliches, parodies of their own success.
