Hi Gordon,
Ya know, we get a lot of shit for doing that song! 
Fuck em! 
it's a great melody. 
Christine Aguilera didn't write it, 
this friend of mine called Linda Perry (4 non Blondes), wrote it. 

The first time i heard it on the radio, 
I thought that Jeff Beck would do a really lovely version. 
So, when Robin and I were looking for a song to do together,
I thought of that one. 
I'd only heard it on the radio once or twice. 
I don't think it was that popular in the US. 
I think it's hilarious that it's Christine Aguilera! 
Seems like most people don't think it's very funny though. 

Again, fuck 'em if they can't take a joke! 

I like the song and I think we do a great version. 
Really glad to hear that you agree. 

THanks for your kind words. 
Oh, and yes, i do break strings! 
THough i use really heavy strings and change them every day.
 
Look forward to seeing you at Wembley! 
Those shows will be great, just because they are the last ones! 
Plus, it's London. Gn'R loves London!
