  • Aadis from Paradise CityThink About You is about “drugs, sex, Hollywood, and money” according to Izzy Stradlin.
  • Ben82 from Wellington NzWhen I hear this I think about my ex who was also called monique
  • Evestradlin from Paris, FranceProbably one of the best songs of GNR. So underrated, so beautiful.
  • Phil from Neenah, WiI'd have to agree with Dane on this one. Very underrated song with no air play on the radio whatsoever, along with 'Locomotive' and others.
  • Shawn from Green Bay, WiEven though I think Appetite for Destruction is one of the greatest rock albums ever made, I only have two GNR songs on my iPod, and they are this song and Rocket Queen.
  • Dane from Green Cove Springs Fla., FlA really underrated song in my opinion.
  • Kenny from Remsenburg, NyWould have probably been a hit single if it weren't for Sweet Child O' Mine being on the same album..
  • Red from Awesometown, --In an issue of classic rock magazine in 2007 slash said this was his least favourite song on appetite to play.
  • Peter from Nyc, NyA great song on a great album by a great band.
