True story: This little melody was just a finger warm up exercise Slash used to limber up the digits and tune in to his guitar.

Axl heard it and said, "we're gonna make a song about that."

Slash was like, "no, no, this is just a warm up exercise."

Of course Axl won out, and the rest is history.

The part where they start singing "where do we go now" was truly because they didn't know where to take the song at that point !

Thanks for posting.

When I was in an Army band in 1966 we had a classical guitarist, his warm up was to play “Dixie” as the bass line and “Battle Hymn of the Republic” as the treble.
