I'm a huge fan of Guns N' Roses and I think most of you have probably heard of them. So for this contest, I want you to pick one of there song titles and write a poem using it as your title. Pretty easy huh? There are no rules just pick a title and go for it! Some of the titles are from other bands as well,(as I was informed)So thanks to those who brought that to my attention.

I'm in a band and we did loadss of gnr covers to start off... infact we'd still do a few because we do them so well! Erm you could be mine, Welcome to the jungle, Mr brownstone, paradise city maybe some more it's been a while. I think i may have a go at this one, so hard to chose a title! Might do a few hehe.
-
Ummm...isn't Mama Kin an Aerosmith song. And since I'm a huge Queen fan, I know damn well Bohemian Rhapsody was their song.
-
Queen, there are quite a few songs in that list that aren't Guns n Roses. GnR was notorious for covering other bands, so a lot of GnR's better known songs are in fact songs by Aerosmith, Queen, Dylan, Kansas, etc.
-
Yep alot of people have no clue Bob Dylan wrote Stairway... , Or they somehow think GnR wrote it first.?!
-
thanks so much! I didn't relize that when I posted the list. but I changed it and thanks again!
-
Wow. A G-N-R contest! My favorite band. I'll definately be entering this one. To bad you aren't accepting prewrites.
But, I'll be coming up with something for this one!
Good luck with the contest!
Bestest of wishes and all that other mushy, gushy stuff
~Meli~
-
are we allowed to edit or add to the title?
-
FINALLY!!! I found a contest with this! Wooot, your awesome!
lol.
I'm definately going to enter when the big super huge contest I am preparing is finished. *grrr long contests,,,& -
I really like this contest...It's definately better then most I've seen!! Great contest = ]
-
OMG You rock!!!! GNR Kicks ass!!! I cant enter right now but Im in!!!!
-
Guns 'N Roses was also not the first to cover "Stairway To Heaven". Led Zeppelin and Eric Clapton were the first. Bob Dylan is a great song-writer, along with the fact that Guns 'N Roses are great metal-gods. But the both together and there you go. I like Eric Clapton's better, however.
[LA] Guns 'N [Hollywood] Roes are groovylicious.
Live on and live again. Cya -
reminds me of an alt. lyric I made a while back. I only changed it subtley (s/p)
He’s got a smile that speaks to me
Reminds me of so many memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see his face
He takes me away to that
special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry
Sweet love o' mine
Yeah….He’s all mine
He's got eyes that tell no lies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
His arms reminds me
of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by
Sweet love o' mine
Yeah…he’s all mine
Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet love o' mine

Thanks for the silver.

Bugger I was just about finished a poem to enter this contest before it closed. Oh well maybe next time. Congrats to the winners.
