As an example you can type the search into the URL bar and it will give you what characters its using. See how the apostrophe character has been encoded into %27 and spaces into %20. I'm unsure how python does it but this is the issue. | ||

Not sure but I do have 8-9 other guns n roses and they all scrape fine. I tried that alternate character set but could not find an alternate apostrophe Well I got everything now but miley singing landslide, will have to wait for a concert dvd where she performs that one. | ||
