My Michelle by Guns N' Roses Song Info
Axl Rose writes an ode to his friend Michelle Young, inspired by her wanting a song about her. Only Axl failed to make a “Michelle ma belle” straightforward ballad and wound up describing what a trainwreck of a life Michelle had (in her own words, “At the time, I didn’t care because I was so fucked up”). Young ended up loving the song because it was sincere. - by user matt0702
