Guns n Roses. Why?

Without my knowledge DD (6) has trawled Spotify only to proclaim that her favourite song is Welcome to the Jungle and she loves Guns n Roses.

How can this possibly have happened. I have done my best to get it right, really I have. Please help. What can I do?

@CigarsofthePharoahs aaaahhh DS and I luuuuuuve The Inkspots.

My granddaddy used to sing their songs to me when I was a nipper...

When exH bought the game Fallout and it came on I burst into tears 😳😳😳

DS used to have fabulous musical taste aka mine. His naming ceremony playlist was brilliant, a mix of punk, Ink Spots, Doris Day, indie.

Now I have to listen to System of a Down. 😖

Fantastic taste!

My first (unrequited) love was Axl Rose. He looks like hammered shit now but by God he was beautiful back in the day.

WeAllHaveWings · 10/03/2018 18:05

ds used to love guns n roses, bon jovi, def leppard and some of the milder AC/DC etc, but is 14 now and prefers all that modern pop/rap crap.

Here's the evidence, cropped slightly

OhYouBadBadKitten · 10/03/2018 18:07

Excellent taste!

dd used to love Queen. Sadly now that she's all grown up she's into much more intellectual stuff :(

MickHucknallspinkpancakes · 10/03/2018 18:07

God lord @LoveEricLove I hadn't seen him since the 90's....

😳😳😳

Guns n Roses. Why?
LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 10/03/2018 18:07

Good for her. Modern music is utter shite.

LilaTheLion · 10/03/2018 18:08

Stealth boast Grin

MickHucknallspinkpancakes · 10/03/2018 18:08

@Cadence70 - is he gripping his water bottle or tweaking yer nip there????

LoveEricLove · 10/03/2018 18:09

Don't look Mick, just don't look.

I didn't go to see them on tour last year as it made me feel a bit sad. Would rather remember seeing them at Wembley stadium in 1992 when I was 14. What a day that was.

I was so proud of my then 4 year old DD when the DJ at a family wedding asked the guests for a favourite song to play for the B&G and she asked for “anything by Bon Jovi”.

My cousin (the groom) said she was the coolest little girl he knew and swung her around the dance floor to “Its My Life”.

satsumasunrise · 10/03/2018 18:11

Play 'Sweet Child o' Mine' to her.

I never get tired of hearing it.

IamPickleRick · 10/03/2018 18:11

I think that’s great! I’ve got my three doing back up vocals on Hounds of Love in the back of the car. They love the chilli peppers too, ds2 just asks me to put on “lips”. We have a varied musical taste but the eldest already has a soft spot for littlemix so our days are numbered.

My main criticism of GnR is that Axl sounds like a cat going meow.

BuggerOffAndGoodDayToYou · 10/03/2018 18:12

Incidentally she still loves Bin Jovi, GnR, Aerosmith and Queen but is also an absolute Beatles fanatic!

Undercoverbanana · 10/03/2018 18:13

Yabasic - it was Vanessa that got on my tits.

All cutesy and ..... cutesy ........

Sounded like a mouse when she sang.

And what was all that shit on the golf course about?

Cleanermaidcook · 10/03/2018 18:14

She has excellent taste :)

BonnieF · 10/03/2018 18:16

Take a bow, that mum.

Now get her a top hat and a gold Les Paul for her birthday Grin.

MrsKoala · 10/03/2018 18:16

My 17mo DDs favourite song is AC/DC Back in black. She looks brilliant dancing to it. Grin

TalkinPeace · 10/03/2018 18:17

This video sums it up really .....

squoosh · 10/03/2018 18:17

Nothing wrong with a bit of Guns n Roses

squoosh · 10/03/2018 18:18

I mean, at least it's not Coldplay or Elbow!

TalkinPeace · 10/03/2018 18:18

And this one is them listening to GnR

starryeyed19 · 10/03/2018 18:18

Welcome to the Jungle is a STONE COLD CLASSIC. Congratulations for raising your child correctly

Sirzy · 10/03/2018 18:18

Ds loves ac/dc and pink ffloyd. I would much rather them than some of the more modern music
