While working as a cop in NYC it was cold and my birthday.  I was assigned plain clothes and I snuck into the Ritz and saw GnR "Live at the Ritz"  I remember thinking that if these guys don't kill themselves, that they'll be one of the best bands of the future.  I was right.  I was also deaf when I left (I was real close to the amps).  The only concert that rivals it (In a Small Venue) would be Ozzy at the NYC Palladium in 1981.  (Mind blowing shows).
Top 5 alltime Concerts
1.Live at the Ritz GNR 1988
2.Ozzy at the Palladium 1981
3.Van Halen opening for Black Sabbath 1978
4.AC/DC NY 1981
5.GNR MSG 1992 They were tired but still had a good time.
But I guess this would lead to another thread....JMack......


Now thats some awesome highlights!  beer

For myself i'd say the last gig in Oslo with izzy onstage and all that came with it! Awesome set and fuckin' great sound!

Meeting Izzy before the gigs at the Wembley 29/30 shows

Spending a night on the streets after the first Wembley show. Haha I had done the same just a few months earlier at the Hammersmith show. I knew they wouldn't finish until 2am but didnt care. I liked sleeping rough in london ~ made me feel indestructable lol.

Meeting the mods from this place at the wembley shows. Meeting bryan and the like outside hammersmith shows.

4 years old, watching Paradise City video on MTV with my two teenage sisters while my parents (who wouldn't let us watch MTV) were away.  I fell in love that day and never looked back!

The First Hightlight Came in 2002: After finishing listening to Welcome to the Jungle on my CD player... I turn on the MTV VMA's only to see Jimmy Fallon shaking with excitement in his Gn'R t-shirt introducing the return of my favorite group - Guns N' Fuckin' Roses!!! drool
Then I looked up the tourdates - and the next highlights came while seeing Gn'R twice in 2002 in Toronto and Albany!
Finally the latest highlights came this year while at 3 shows this past year - 2 Hammerstein shows and another show in Toronto!
And I'm sure the shits..... I mean the hits will keep coming! ok

Top moment- When the lights went down and the spotlights came on at the first Sydney show on the 23rd, before Robins teaser notes of WTTJ. Knowing they're just about to come out.

The two concerts on the 23rd and the 24th in Sydney are probably going to be the benchmarks for me- first time seeing them.

1. End of 1987 and my mate plays us a tape on the school bus, it started at Paradise City and everyone on the bus laughed at him when we all heard the start of the song, "this isn't heavy" everyone said but I bought the tape after that anyway.

2. Nearly tossing that tape in the bin when Dad loves the song Sweet Child O' Mine

3. Given a bootleg of them live at the Ritz and being blown away

4. Skipping a day of school to get UYI only to find out fog had kept the plane out of the state! Waited all day to finally get it right on closing time!

5. After years of spending too much money on memorabilia finally getting to see them at Calder Park, Melbourne 1993 (couldn;t keep the old man away either for the record)

6. Seeing them again this year in Melbourne, yeah the wait was worth it too!

I remember it well. Twas a cold February 2006 evening.I was in my living room watching some bullshit T.V being all depressed and shit. My hair was just starting to get really long so I was happy about that though!no more gay stage for me Smiley!Anyway...I'm there thinking about what a bullshit summer I'm going to have and my sister calls to me from her room "You like guns n roses don't you?". I could have slapped her cos it was a stupid question. I was like "Yeah,Why?". "Turn on the radio there" she said and she shut her door and went to sleep.
Naturally i was excited and flicked on the radio and scanned a few channels till i got to the only cool radio station. And thank god they were still talking about it..."Guns n Roses playing in the R.D.S Dublin on June 9th". (They also said they'd be supported by Motley Crue,which was obviously bollocks!). I cried for ages. I nearly cried every night up to and including the gig.
Anyway...it was the best summer of my life. BEcause of Axl Rose and a girl I fell in love with...who subsequently dumped me so i had a crap autumn,winter and spring.And i'm currently having a shit summer...But thank you Axl Rose! rofl

25/6- 2007 - Broke up with my girlfriend, ripped her heart into and left her lying on the bed

As the dust settled, Axl stared unblinkingly at me and, with no hint of irony, summed up GN?R?s philosophy: ?We don?t start anything. But if you mess with us, then we?ll fuck you up!

i would have to say hammerstein, 2006.  msg 2006 is a very close second.  even though msg was technically a better show, something about hammerstein made it a little more special.  the intimacy of the venue plus i think it was at that show that i felt axl truely was back, not just a rumor or a fabled album.

The Leeds festival in 2002.

After years of no gigs at all and months of "he won't show up". Getting there early so i could get right to the barrier at the front. Bored by The Offspring and Prodigy. When the intro to WTTJ hit everything was worth it. Years of waiting meant nothing.

And that was the same night i decided my son was gonna be called Axl!
