Dead Flowers...

With the mention of the almighty Guns 'n' Fuckin' Roses over at GLB; I thought I'd point out that Mike Ness and Axl Rose both bit off the same Rolling Stones song to create respective classics. Compare the intro to "Used To Love Her" and the entire chord progression of "Ball and Chain"... Oddly enough, Ness ridicules G'n'R onstage as part of his between-song banter on 2004's Live In Orange County while his drummer Charlie Quintana looks on from a few feet away- this being the same Charlie Quintana who played in G'n'R side-band Izzy Stradlin and the JuJu Hounds...
