It's interesting to note that Sheryl Crow completely opted out of the opening solo guitar riff for Sweet Child O' Mine - despite the fact that the intro is what everyone thinks of when they think of the song! Without the fast pace, great guitar riff, and Axl's voice, this is a very weak song indeed. The original is great because it's the perfect blend of hard rock/metal with sweet screeching by Axl and guitar work and lovely lyrics. The only thing here are the lovely lyrics - sung by Crow without any intensity at all.

If you want a good slow cover of the song, check out Slowdive's - at least they included the solo. No, nothing will ever, EVER compare with the original...including Slowdive's...but at least their version is fun to listen to, and relaxing, whereas this is just grating.

As a hard rock fan, who likes to listen to Guns N' Roses, I was disappointed to hear Sheryl Crow did a remake of their best song. Her version lacks the intensity and do or die attitude of the first and she has no talent on the guitar when compared to Slash, the guitarist of Guns N' Roses. At least if they were going to remake it, they could have had the original guitarist play it the way it should be played.

nowhere near as good as the original

It's a very good song and i have to say ...i like it more than the original one,she got the voice, the talent,she's a very good songreather and knows what's good this is good.BUY IT

WHAT A REMAKE!!!!She's continues to be amazing! I''d buy it again!

Sheryl makes an already rockin' tune better. Personally, I think her sound blows the voice and sound of Axel Rose away.

not half as good as the original
