In 2015 an article by the Australian music writer Nathan Jolly noted similarities between ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’ and a 1981 song from the Australian Band called Australian Crawl with their song ‘Unpublished Critics.’Duff McKagan bass player with Guns N’ Roses found the similarities between the songs ‘stunning’ but said that he had not previously heard ‘Unpublished Critics.’
‘She’s got a smile it seems to me reminds me of childhood memories’
