Wow... I wish I could remember!  My sister was a die-hard Gn'R fan back in the day (early 90s) and she listend to Guns n' Roses all the time... I even remember her excitement leading up to their 1991 Use Your Illusion releases.

Sure, I knew what November Rain, Sweet Child O' Mine was, but I was never particularly a fan of the band until I saw them live in concert in 2002.  I was completely blown away during the first moments of the concert.  However, I can honestly remember the exact moment I became a fan for life.

It was during Knockin on Heaven's Door... when we snuck up to first row and watched that song up close and personal... in complete and utter rock n roll bliss, with Axl singing, a few feet above us and the pryos exploding so close that we could feel the heat...  until security escorted us back to our proper seats.  

Oh the memories!

Paradise City....the intro blew me away

[badapple81]

KOHD (the Live at the Freddie Tribute video) when I was about 11 on Video Hits.. 10 mins later November Rain was on (as it was also in the charts higher up).. loved it.. week later got a tape of AFD and couldnt stop listening to it!

Sweet Child O' Mine - My mate used to love that song and he sent it to me one day, I didn't really think that much of it until I saw the video on Kerrang last september I think, and it was then I realised I liked the song, and when I finally got round to downloading a few more songs I realised I really liked them. Then dad gave me AFD and my life totally changed

Welcome To The Jungle

[Captain P?l]

have no idea... but the first song i remeber was Get In The Ring, cuz me and a buddy of mine used to "sing" that song and rant imagining we stood before audience and stuff like that...  

[Doc Emmett Brown]

I remember very clearly!

I was 10 years old (long ago in a galaxy far away), and my older cousin showed me the cassette for AFD.  I remember being shocked by the picture of the girl with her underwear around her knees and that robo-skeleton.

And then I heard the opening chords of WTTJ and Axl's unforgettable voice. And my cousin was talking about how bad-ass this band is, and how they do drugs and stuff.

As a 10 year old, it was too much to handle, and I had no clue what the lyrics meant...it's funny to think about it now.

wow, kool thread.

 I guess i was about 13/14 at the time and i was n the phone to my mate Vikki.... watchin Q in the background, n November Rain came on. I didn't pay much attention at first until it got to Slash's solo outside the church...

 I completely abandoned the phone and sat down to watch the nxt 5 mins of bliss that followed!! I was sooooooo blown away. I went bak to the phone n sed "did u hear that?!" n she was like "oh yeh, didn't like it tho".... n i hung up! (bitchy!) Nxt day i went out n bought AFD, lent it to my mate a coupla months later n neva saw it agen!  

 Bak into em now tho..... with all the albums that NEVER leave my house, (unless with me) hehe.... Needless to say she forgave me for hangin up on her, but i didn't forgive her for stealing AFD!

It would be 5 years ago and it was paradise city

[John Daniels]

my First ever GNR song i heard was  welcome to the Jungle  

same with me.

When I was 7 years old or so about 15 years ago I got a birthday present from my brother which was AFD record and some other stuff which I can't remember. So the first GNR song I heard was the first track welcome to the jungle from the album called AFD

[Jagged Little Pill]

the first one I heard was paradise city..and it was at my cousins house when i was like 10.

[Izzy]

Probably Paradise City

[blues_rock_axeman]

November Rain...bits of it from all over the place.

I saw the middle of the video and was blown away, so I tried to find out what the song was. However, I couldn't, and it wasn't until I became a fully fledged guitarist that someone recommended me the song...spent hours downloading it on a very VERY slow modem and the rest was history.

The first time I knew I heard a gnr song was for ca.10 months ago:
Me and my brother was goin' to buy 5 cd's (because then you got them on "sale").
 But we only had 4 cd's we were interrested in, but then he took use your illusion also ( only because it was free ), and then I heard Dont Cry (alternative lyricks) get in the ring and KOHD, and then I liked them so much, I bought UYi 2 and later appetite... I went almost nuts, the music was so great!!  
Now im a BIG fan, and though KOHD,Get in the ring and alt.don't cry, isn't my favorites now, It was these songs that made me interrested in Guns N' Roses!
 

[Mikkamakka]

I don't remember. It was Sweet Child O' Mine or Nightrain. I recorded these two from the radio I was listening is 1989. Not bad for a 12 years old. I liked them but realized the difference between them and my other favourites, such as Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan and Phil Collins. It didn't take a long time to choose  

[mr_BROWNSTONE]

 Well, let's see. It should be Paradise City from the Freddy tribiute, but I remember that I became a big GN'R fan after I saw and heard Knockin' on Heaven's at the same concert. The interesting part is that I liked how Axl was throwing the microphone. I was about 8 years old and I watched the concert live on MTV.
