I love this story...
He was playing some backwoods joint somewhere in his early days. The place was one of those kind with burning barrel in the middle of the dance floor to provide heat. During his set, two men got in a fight and knocked over the barrel, setting fire to the place.
In his haste to leave the burning bar, he realized he forgot his guitar, so he went back in to get it. He later learned the two men were fighting over a girl named Lucille.
He named his guitar after her, not to remind him of her, but to never do anything as stupid as run into a burning building again.
Side story... I was visiting the "Hard Rock Cafe" in Toronto many years back and the first thing I saw upon entering the bar was one of the many guitars lucky enough to be named "Lucille". I turned to my wife and said "Well I've seen enough, lets go" We stayed of course, but just seeing her was a thrill.
Anyway, back to trivia.
Who did Axl Rose write "Sweet Child O' Mine" for?
Bonus points if you can name her dad.
