Continuing my series of threads regarding Guns N' Roses... Let us now compile a list of songs that mention or reference GnR. Please cite lyrics if possible.

1) Redd Kross - "Huge Wonder" : "Hollywood Boulevard, now that's a scene / Punk rock jail bait and G.I. teens / The children of the night and the critics know / The only God on earth is Axl Rose"

2) Weezer - "Suzanne" : Even Izzy, Slash and Axl Rose / When I call, you put 'em all on hold"

"Hollywood Boulevard, now that's a scene / Punk rock jail bait and G.I. teens / The children of the night and the critics know / The only God on earth is Axl Rose"

The Roots, Proceed

Malik get on the mic, there's too much on my mind
Johnny on the spot, got the rhythm and the rhyme
Fuckin with The Roots you know them niggaz is the dime
I can make a hundred yard line start to dash
I can make a whole lake of fish start to splash
I can make Conan and the Titans clash
I can make Metallica and Guns n' Roses crash

(although I always kind of thought he said "thrash" instead of "crash")

"Tommy Gets his Tonsils Out" by the Replacements ...

In the same vein, there's "I Hate Music". ("I hate music / It's got too many notes / Tommy said so!")

I'm sorry, I'm not meaning to derail this thread or anything, but when did Izzy Stradlin turn into Jason Spaceman?
