The Unbelievable Truth About ‘Used To Love Her’

🎵🕵️‍♂️Did you know... Axl Rose penned the lyrics to “Used To Love Her” as a laugh, but this seemingly light-hearted song found its way into two grim murder trials?

It’s said the song was inspired by Rose’s love for his dog that he had to put to sleep and bury in his backyard.🐕😢 An odd inspiration that turned into a rather chilling reality.

In 2002, the song became a key piece of evidence against Justin Barber who was convicted of first-degree murder after downloading the song hours before the crime took place.👨‍⚖️🎵

Another man, Thomas Michael Wilhelm, reportedly sang the tune moments before a fatal shooting in 2012. He too was sentenced to a lengthy prison term.🚔🔫

Music indeed has power, but who knew it could play such a role in crime and justice? Tune in for more fascinating music trivia. 🎧🎼🎹
