1.
In 1987 I was seven years old And vinyl records sure were worth their own weight in gold I had my G.I. Joe's and a C64 And a Nintendo I could play with when the rain used to pour One day my cousin said: "Hey, you - I've got something to show you. It's from L.A." Guns N' Roses came and saved my life At last I had a dream I could follow Guns N' Roses came and saved my life That's one thing I will always be sure of I sat there on the floor by the stereo set The music was unlike anything I had heard yet The cover was so awesome with a cross and five skulls And I knew that a Les Paul would have to replace my dolls 'Cause this was really my calling And everything started falling into place Guns N' Roses came and saved my life At last I had a dream I could follow Guns N' Roses came and saved my life That's one thing I will always be sure of Axl, Slash n' Duff McKagan n' Steven Izzy, Gilby, Matt n' Dizzy Reed and Teddy Andreadis And now that I'm older Now that I'm older than I was As I look over my shoulder I can still see those five skulls and a cross

about

This songs is a tribute to the biggest rock band on earth. It tells the story about a boy who hears Guns N' Roses for the first time, changing his life forever. Tongue-in-cheek, but true, as the boy is the singer of The Genuine Fakes, aged 7 back in 1987. This single is released on the same date as GNR's first record release 30 years prior.
