Forum virgin! Please forgive me.
My GNR highlights are borrowing a copy of AFD on vinyl from a good friend way back in the early 90s and it blew me away and I haven't looked back since.
Catching a Headbangers Ball special on mtv back in the day and managing to record on VHS GNR Live at the Ritz Ballroom when their tattoos were still wet (excellent!), but most of all taking my wife to the NEC Birmingham on July 25th and seeing her speachless for the first time! What a gig, what a band. Rock n' Roll!!
P.s any ideas on how to cure the wifes Axl withdrawal symptoms?

Highlights for me are seeing them for the first time in so long at Hammersmith, that was beyond words.  Then Birmingham NEC for a totally awesome show, then Download because I had an absolute blast that weekend, so good I cant actually remember most of it! Grin

World Tour 2000Something


« Reply #443 on: August 31, 2006, 04:49:57 PM »

I remember waiting in line overnight to get tickets on the UYI tour. My buddy and I just had TONs of bean dip and Dr. Pepper to tide us over. We had a blast listening to GNR and getting great seats. We had pretty bad gas the next day, but at the concert some chicks showed their boobies on the big screen so it all worked out in the end.

I would have to say my "pilgrimage" to Layfayette Indiana in 1989 to do research on Axl for a college paper. It was a life changing experience. Walking the same streets, meeting some amazing people. I achieved a greater understanding as to what truly influenced those Lafayette boys into greatness.? ok

I also spent time in Hollywood and even passed out drunk at the Whiskey ? just to say I did. Not a life goal I recommend kids?? ?no? Embarrassed

Well, I worked for Big FD down in Laguna Beach from '96 until 2001, that was quite a highlight.? Speaking with Axl a few times a week and hearing Doug's old tour stories was the best.? Smiley

I started this topic in another forum and I thought it would be cool to do it here too.
Now we have our beloved GNR back, with an amazing tour this summer in Europe and another one in America, tell the most special GNR moment you have lived.

Mine was a dream come true. I thought that I would never have the chance to go to a GNR gig because when they went to Spain in the 90?s I was very young and wasn?t allowed to go. But this year my dream became true. I got the chance to see them twice, the first in Madrid and then the second and here it comes my most special gnr moment, the second time was in my hometown!! I live in Almeria, a small town in the South of Spain and I had dreamed with this so many times I couln?t believe they were coming. It was the best concert I?ve ever been to and I?ve never felt the emotion so strong. I really really enjoyed every single minute of that show and it?s something I?ll never forget.

What about you dudes? beer

I'm a great fan of rock music (especially Magnum, god they're good) and I started to listen to Guns N' Roses two months ago. I don't regret a second. I quickly...err, acquired their stuff from the internet and is now a fan, although I've never seen them live.

The highlight except for getting introduced to them must be when I heard 'Better' the first time... It's so good it makes me cry, and I don't doubt for a second that Chinese Democracy will be their best album yet. Change is good, you just gotta learn to accept it.

Here today...gone to China to bring back Democracy!

The truth is that seeing your idol on stage is priceless!

Seeing the band in San Francisco, and hearing Axl say. "You make it all worth it." to the audience.  Knowing that I was a part of that equation was really special, and it warmed my heart.   love
