In the midst of an album full of songs about cheap drugs and cheaper sex came Axl Rose's love letter to his girlfriend, Erin Everly (daughter of Don Everly). Slash has said he was just "fucking around with the intro riff, making a joke"; neither he nor the rest of the band thought much of it, but Rose knew better. Rose and Erin Everly were later married -- for all of one month.
