Alternative Nation reports that during an Australian TV appearance, Slash talked about disliking Guns N’ Roses’ 1987 classic “Sweet Child O’ Mine” in the past, calling it “the gayest thing you can write” at one point.

The guitarist said:
“You know, what happens is you come up with something you think is cool, but how it’s going to translate to other people, you never know.
“I was the guy who initially was not a big fan of ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine,’ back in the day.
“That was more not because of the riff, it was really more about the type of song it was at the time because we were a pretty hard-driving band, and that was sort of an uptempo ballad-y type of a thing.
“So it’s grown on me over the years, but that’s a riff that I never knew was going to take off the way it did.”
