Explanation

These lists are put together on work I've done for the songinfo section. The info there is not always based on official work, which means it might be wrong.  However, I've tried to do the best work I could, and if this ain't close, at least it should give a good idea of how it was. About the songwriters: I didn't take into consideration that some of these songs are written by one songwriter. This means that Axl's credit for "November Rain" counts as much as his involvement on "Bad Apples" (written by Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff). It's just a number of songs they've been involved in, not a true picture of how much they actually wrote. It should be noted that especially Slash gets a high percentage of the songwriting credits here, while it's not that big in real.

For the first part, I've counted all album releases except Live Era ("Appetite For Destruction", "G N' R Lies", "Use Your Illusion I", "Use Your Illusion II", "The Spaghetti Incident?" as well as the song "Sympathy For The Devil". On the 2nd part, all GnR songs (except the 2nd version of "You're Crazy" and "Don't Cry") are counted. And who knows... maybe this will come in percentage too...

I've stumbled upon some errors in my songinfo (a very few) that led to wrong results here. I'm not sure I will correct this though, since I believe it's close enough to the reality.
