My first Gun's N' Roses concert in 1988 (it was in Sydney Australia and the year may be wrong cause those years were a blur for me)

Seeing Guns N' Roses in 1993 at Eastern Creek!!! Fucking amazing!!!

Hearing Estranged for the first time. That song tapped into everything I was feeling at that time.

Buying the three videos Making Fucking Videos Part I: Dont Cry, Making Fucking Videos Part II: November Rain and Making Fucking Videos Part IV: Estranged.

Being sent Live Like A Suicide on vinyl by a friend who lived in L.A at the time. She said that Id probably like this new band that had produced their own Ep...How right she was!!!

Buying the bootleg live CDs (I have 7 of them) that were released by a guy from South Australia after he found a loop-hole in Australia's copyright laws (that loop-hole has now been fixed) and hearing the November Rain piano demo and guitar demo for the first time.

Buying Live And Let Die single and hearing Shadow of Your Love for the first time.




There are others...But these would be the highlights.

Actually getting to buy the new Guns N' Roses album and finding out it is probably the most solid GnR album ever made, not one filler song at all.

Buying my copy at Best Buy at 9am with my best friend.  It reminded back in the day, when music was good and exciting to go pick  up at a store.  It was weird being 25 now and remembering back when I was little picking up UYI I II.  I'll never forget Nov 23 2008.

There are a number of them for me, here are a few-

1988- Friend of mine plays me Appetite For Destruction after class one afternoon and I fell in love with it.  I bought it on CD a few weeks later, the very first CD I ever bought, and I still have it!  I was 10 at the time.  The album that totally changed my life.  I still listen to it at least once a week, even 20 years later.  Just an amazing rock album.

1991- Seeing the You Could Be Mine on MTV for the first time and trying to record it on tape by holding up my stereo to the TV.   hihi

1991, Sept 13- Release of the Illusion discs, right before my 13th birthday.  I had to wait until the 26th to actually get them since my mother bought them as a birthday present.  And like any psycho fan, I stayed home the next day to listen to them as much as I could.  I spent the next 6 months pretty much just listening to them, alternating weeks between I and II.

Mid 90's- Release of the Making the Videos tapes and the Tokyo show

Fast forward to the present since I really lost touch/interest until recently

November 23, 2008- finally buying Chinese Democracy

1989 - Meeting Slash and Duff at the Long Beach Grand Prix.  I was only 14 at the time, and saw Slash and Duff wander into the Marlboro Suite, each with a chick on their side.  I went up to Duff first and asked if he would sign my Suite Pass and he said he had to get some food first. (I assumed he was blowing me off).  I then went up to Slash and asked the same thing and he replyed "Yeah, if you can hook me up with another pack of cigarettes."  I looked up at him and said "Dude, I'm only 14 and we're in a Marlboro Suite, I think you can find more smokes."  He laughed and signed my ticket.  Then Duff walked over to me and did the same.  Both were really cool.  I asked if Axl was there too and they said "No, he doesn't like shit like this".

I still remember Slash's shirt that day, it said Long Beach Grand Prix: Hard Rock and Big Tits

Absolutely. Getting music career advice from Axl Fucking Rose is the ultimate GN'R highlight for me. What a night! I will never forget it.  Smiley

Top 3 in chronological order...

1) When I was introduced to WTTJ in my school cafeteria by some long forgotten {name} blonde...I bought the tape that day, and remember having to go all the way to 'Strawberries' to find it.
2) Buying UYI II - my friend bought UYI I - at 'Strawberries' and running home to listen to them end to end.
3) The day Gn'R posted CD on MySpace and I had my own personal concert...didn't get much else done (except post here I think).

I also believe the best is yet to come.  ok

1) Somewhere in 1988: Seeing the 'Paradise City' videoclip on MTV and beeing totally blowed away by it. This was my first GnR experience. Things would never be the same anymore after this.

2) 1990: Buying UYI 2, my first GnR cd.

3) August 14th 2002, Pukkelpop: First time I saw Gunners live

4) June 20th 2006, Paris: Best GnR live show I have ever been at.

5) November 21th 2008: Release of the long awaited Chinese Democracy album and buying it instantly.
