^ WOW!!!!!

I completely envy you right now..

[Blackrose]

Not enough
I've only seen them once at Calder Park Melbourne Australia in 1993.
It sucks down here (Australia) not enough decent bands come out here.
It's time for uncle Axl to come down here and kick everyone's ass again

I was reading through this thread the other day and I started thinking about my amazing times being a fan of Guns N Roses, who I consider to be the greatest band ever and who also in my opinion have the most awe inspiring frontman there has ever been. So I put together my entire list of my Guns N Roses tour which started back in 1991 and has so far reached Aug 2006! First gig was at sixteen. I thought I had been to see 23 GnR gigs over the years but doing a proper count up I have been to 21. 1992 and 93 were years I will never forget. I spent a lot of time traveling in Europe. Doing a bit of work here and there to pay for train fares and concert tickets! For me the best gig I went to in that time was in Budapest in 1992. The whole experience was amazing and the country was wicked! I met some amazing people through watching the band. My obvious highlight was meeting Axl for about 10 seconds at Milton Keynes in 93. For anyone who has been on this board for a while will know why there is not a photo of this experience, so does Tina Chang at Sanctuary considering how many bloody e-mails I have sent her to try and get another chance to meet Axl and the band! So anyway seeing as this thread has been going a while I just thought I?d put together an itinery of my amazing Guns N Roses tour with a few pics to go! All I want to do now is be able to get to the states and see them play there and I will be quite happy!! Oh and meet Axl Rose again!! P.S To all the people who say that I am too positive about the band. I have seen the good, the bad and the ugly of Guns N Roses and they are still by far and away the greatest band I have heard or seen and I don?t feel there is anything negative to say about them!! New band and old! Mike

With the old band:
1. Wembley Stadium - August 1991 ? (My first ever Guns Gig, went with a friend and his parents)
2. Wembley Stadium - April or May 1992 (@ Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert)
3. Dublin - May 1992
4. Budapest - May 1992 (my favourite ever Guns gig! Loved Budapest stayed there a few days)
5. Paris - June 1992 (went with my mate Lee a hardcore nirvana fan. He was hooked on Guns after this gig)

6. Wembley Stadium - June 1992
7. Manchester City Football Club - June 1992
8. Newcastle - June 1992
9. Milton Keynes Bowl - May 1993 both nights (one night I got fucking soaked but met Axl Rose!!!)
10. Milton Keynes Bowl - May 1993 both nights (one night I got fucking soaked but met Axl Rose!!!)? ?
11. Vienna - June 1993 ? (brilliant gig, met a stunning girl from Holland as well who I dated for a few weeks.)? ?
12. Germany - June 1993 (was right near the back and had the flu! Shit night! Think it rained too)
13. Italy ? June 1993 (got my first ever tattoo! A GnR one on my right thigh)

14. Barcelona - July 1993
15. Lyon ? July 1993 (my mate Lee came back traveling with me and came to the last two shows in France)
16. Paris - July 1993

The new band:

17. Leeds Festival - August 2002
18. London Docklands Arena - August 2002 (Went with some mates and we went into London afterwards desperate to find the aftershow party. Ended up getting so lost we stayed in some shitty club in central London and got wasted)


19. London Hammersmith Apollo - June 2006 (my mate Lee from back in the day was at this gig with me, he loved every minute of it again!)


20. Donington (Download Festival) - June 2006 (took my fianc? to her first ever guns gig she fucking loved it!)

21. London Wembley Arena - July 2006 (It was great to once again meet so many great people from the HTGTH site and it rounded off a great summer)




Being a Guns N Roses fan, does it get any better? I dont think so!! Take it easy! Mike

Must this photo forever haunt me........!

You would think when someone points an object with a flashing light in your general direction and people start talking about "a photo" you would look. But no!!

33 - nice to meet you. (If I did) I cant remember.

Jarmo - its your fault for slagging off Derby so much. I was distracted.

I have loads of photos from that meet up which i feel I will have to post somewhere now.
One of you here 33 with Jarmo, Anythinggoes and Graciela on the front and me, Ian, Hollie, Christos and Adz behind. People are looking at the camera?

To get myself back on topic.

GNR Now 5 times. Cant decide which was the best. Changes daily

[WeHeldTogether]

September 23rd  2006

December 19th, 2006 will be my second time.

[russtcb]

I can't remember all the specific dates anymore (I suck!) but in my defense, I've been to over 500 concerts in my life, so you can't blame a guy for forgetting some stuff!!

Anyways....

I saw the old band at the Palace in Aurburn Hills twice between 91 & 93. I caught them in the middle with Metallica and Faith No More at the Silverdome which was just a trip!

I first saw the new band live (this date I know) on November 21, 2002 at the Palace. Then again I caught them this year May 12, 2006 at the Hammerstein Ballroom.

Overall if I had to pick one favorite show out of all of them I'd honestly have to say the May 12 show was the best for many, many reasons.

There was a big ass bummer that night RIGHT before the show too which gives me an idea for another thread, but overall the night was just awesome. It was the night that Robin Finck showed me and everyone else just how bad add he was. It was Bbf's first night w/ GNR. It was the first live performance of Better, TWAT & IRS plus new versions of The Blues and Maddy.

Incredible.
