 The alternate version of "Don't Cry" is the version that is usually played these days by local radio stations such as WHEB (100.3), WAAF (107.3), WGIR (101.1). The alternate version was also played on MTV back in the day sometimes. The video was identical to the original, except the baby's eye was blue at the end.

	Also, Estranged should be in blue. It is a kickass song, but it was not a big radio hit and it was not frequently played live. It is certainly not as well as known as Civil War. - [[User:SydLexia\|SydLexia]]		Also, Estranged should be in blue.

		+	Syd, I agree with you about most of this, but I am a huge GNR fan. I don't think most people would recognize the difference between the versions of Don't Cry, but for anyone who does it would be odd. I think most people just think whatever version they hear is the original. So in a twisted way, they hear the alt lyrics and just don't realize it is alt lyrics. If you think it should be blue we can do that, I'm just not convinced anyone would go looking for the Alt Lyrics version on purpose. I know I skip the track when I have the CD in. Wait... I skip both versions. LOL I like the song, but it is a drain in its position on the first album.
		+
		+	Dead Horse, The Garden of Eden, The Garden, and Since I Don't Have You all do have videos, but no one sees music videos anymore, and they didn't really get much air time. I would guess that most people have never heard those songs unless they are GNR fans, or they heard them once 10 years ago and have no recollection. I vote red for them.
		+
		+	It is hard to do this list as a fan because I actually have feelings about the songs and this list is really just a popularity meter of sorts.

		+	== Before you Edit ==
		+	*Each line represents a new person
		+	*The total number of columns can be determined using the following math:
		+	**<u>Current Year (2008)</u> - <u> Band Formation Year (1985)</u> + <u>1</u> = 24
		+	*All columns must always be accounted for
		+	*All band members except for Axl will have space next to them on the left and/or right
		+	*Each year has a value associated with it
		+	== Editing a Band Member==
		+	*Example Band Member Code, Robin Finck
		+	\|-
		+	\| style="border: 0px" colspan="11" \|
		+	\| style="background: #FFDDDD; border: 1px solid #FF8888; text-align: center" colspan="3" \| Robin Finck
		+	\| style="border: 0px" colspan="2" \|
		+	\| style="background: #FFDDDD; border: 1px solid #FF8888; text-align: center" colspan="8" \| Robin Finck
		+	=== Breaking down the Code ===
		+	*This begins the person's row. It must be above the person's data
		+	\|-
		+	*This line says that there should be no Border across 11 columns. Also since there is no data after it, there will be no text in this space. The significance of the 11 in this case is how many years after 1985 did he begin with the band. Robin Finck started in 1996. 1996 - 1985 = 11
		+	\| style="border: 0px" colspan="11" \|
		+	*This line says that there should be a redish background, a solid redish border that is 1 pixel in size, centered text, and take up 3 columns. The significance in the 3 columns is the 3 years it represents. Because the prior code took up 11 columns this one will begin at 1996 and will go through 1998.
		+	\| style="background: #FFDDDD; border: 1px solid #FF8888; text-align: center" colspan="3" \| Robin Finck
		+	*This line says that there should be no border across 2 columns. Since there is no data after it there will be no text in this space. This will take up 2 years worth of columns.
		+	\| style="border: 0px" colspan="2" \|
		+	*Robin is a current member of the band, so from 2000-2008 he needs to be marked off. The first column was 11, second was 3, and third was 2. That makes 16 total columns accounted for. 24-16 = 8. So the final column must be 8. Also this column should have a red background, border, and centered text.
