I wouldn't call lots of songs on that list sappy. Also few very funny selections but beauty is in the eye of the beholder I assume.

Also if you want to make a claim about having expensive video (November Rain) maybe get your facts straight. It was that other bloated ballad from UYI where Axl is swimming with dolphins.

Gerry Gittleson wields his modern day superpowers by displaying upon himself a lanyard which bears his Warrant DRFSR, Cherry Pie, and his Big Bang Babies laminates resting atop his Costco, Sam's Club, health insurance, driver's license, Starbucks, and gym club cards. You can be his +1 on his next Costco run, just ask him - he has a laminate.

Surprised it's not a CompuServe account.

As I've mentioned on here before, my #1 ballad would be "Headed For a Heartbreak". Just perfect keys, perfect vocals, and perfect Reb Beach solos. And as always, "Without the Night" should have been released as a single.

Go back and look at his picture from the Rikki Rachtman retirement story and then this one.

Go back to the glamour shot.

Could’ve bet my left arm that Tuff was on this list.
If you weren’t, probably wouldn’t have posted it.
