With all due respect to everyone playing this stuff. I tried it at a friend of mine a weekend and I thought it sucked. It didn't have anything to do with guitar playing. It was just pressing some buttons when they showed up on the screen. The buttons and the groove of the song didn't match that of what I had in my head and I quickly dropped the whole thing.

I tend to agree as I had friends who are so stupid they honestly think if they can play the song on GH then they can play it in real life. As a guitarist it seems to me these games are a lot more about ryhthm in general and nothing to do with actual guitar. However that said, once you accept that, they're really addictive....they can be quite good fun if you can get the feel for it.

That's actually damn good. What I like about it, is it does it's own thing, without purely copying GNR's TIL.

There's a tragic feel in that acoustic version, that I don't think even the GN'R version gets to, on that level.

Good cover of a great song. Without that video, and just with the audio, it wouldn't even come across as comical.

Not sure about the b-sides album for Avenged Sevenfold, but they released their self titled album in October 2007.  That's the last album of theirs that I'm aware of.
