22 years as a GN'R fan

Okay folks. I've been out drinking with my father-in-law, so I make no promises regarding clarity, but I just wanted to note that, as of this December, I will have been a GN'R fan for 22 years, having received Appetite for Christmas in the winter of 1987. It's been a long, strange, exceedingly complicated trip, but, let's face it--Axl has treated us all to the best of all possible of down-and-dirty, helluva time, kick-ass trips that anybody could have sent our way. So thanks, Axl, for answering questions we didn't even know we had, and for giving us tonics that helped us through every era, whether it be the tease of Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide, the grit of Appetite, the reckless abandon of Lies, the over-the-top perfection of UYI I&II, the temporary (but indescribably fun) fix of TSI, the unexpected but rockin' fun of Live Era, or (most important) vindication of Chinese Democracy. Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy, Steven, Matt, Dizzy, Gilby, Tracii, Tracy, Roberta, Teddy, Ole, Rob, Paul, Bucket, Josh, Brain, Robin, Richard, Tommy, Frank, Chris, Bumble, and DJ--thanks for everything. Sincerely. Here's to the next tour, the next album, and another decade of kicking my ass.

Right On
Sounds like you are having a good time reminiscing this evening with a couple of these
. No harm done
Oh and congrats to your lengthly loyalty as a fan, I was 22 when Appetite hit the shelves and life was good, couldn't imagine those days any other way.

Me too! I can remember being a senior in high school and hearing Appetite for the first time. Driving around in a friend's car. I had heard Jungle on headbangers ball, but was just blown away when listening to the cassette for the first time.
And I remember my first time listening to Lies.
Then being at college and the radio station played both albums, every song . . . that was another magical moment! The first time Dont Cry came on . . . Yesterdays . . . November Rain . . . . Estranged . . . . even Breakdown was cool . . . Civil War . . .. Coma ...... it was just awesome.

Hmmm, I've only been a fan for three or four years but it certainly feels like 22.
And, is that

21 for me..........I remember during the summer of '88 I was just a youngster hanging at my local eatery which had a jukebox and pop-a-shot machine. I remember one day someone had played Sweet Child O' Mine and I was awestruck, like completely blown away. Up until then I was still living in my parents musical shadow and at that moment I established my own musical taste. Rag Doll by Aerosmith was the other big song at the time!
