About the Song

The song was featured on the band's debut album, "Appetite for Destruction" in July of 1987. Here Duff McKagan describes the song:

"The thing about 'Sweet-Child,' it was written in five minutes. It was one of those songs, only three chords. You know that guitar lick Slash does at the beginning? It was kinda like a joke because we thought, 'What is this song? It's gonna be nothin', it'll be filler on the record.' And except that vocal-wise, it's very sweet and sincere, Slash was muckin' around when he first wrote that lick."

About "Duff" McKagan
