Your GN'R highlights?

[HamsterDemocracy]

My highlight is seeing Axl perform in front of millions on MTV in 2002.

I didn't even realize how awful he sounded until much later. I rocked out to that video clip for like a year until one day I was like, "Wow, his voice is kind of absolutely dreadful."

listening to appetite for the first time and realising how bad all my other albums were in comparison 

+ the shock of hearing an official ChiDem mix on an advert last saturday stunned me

Seeing GN'R perform at the NEC Birmingham on July 25th 2006, they were amazing

Seeing them open the Get In The Ring Tour on 05.24.91 at Alpine Valley Music Theater.  Getting dropped off by my dad to stand in line on a chilly March? morning waiting for the local ticket place to open with my high school buds.  Didn't even have my driver's license yet!

It must been the first time Axl Rose made the opening scream at the Norway concert?

And also when he out on my sunglasses

[badobessionwithaxl]

Seeing them last night for the first time was amazing.
Actually, the 8 year old girl next to me in the front row was pretty amazing too.
I wish I saw GNR when I was 8..

and Bumblefoot kissing me on the cheek after the show was pretty amazing too.

Yes. Amazing. EVERYTHING was AMAZING.

knowing that there will be an album out this year, words from Axl .... saddest moment was when the oldschool lineup broke up and when Adler was kicked out

I cried for eight days when Steven Adler was kicked out of the band. On the ninth day I realized I was only a year old and the reason I was crying was because I had diaper rash. When I grew up and actually knew who Steven Adler was I didn't really care. But I think if I hadn't been a year old when he was kicked out I maybe would have cared.

September 23rd, 2006.

Inland Invasion.  It was an all around amazing show.  They played every song i hoped they would.  Rocket Queen was very nice to hear, its probably my favorite appetite song.  It was an amazing show...i'll remember it foreva.

Manchester '06. That gig was truly immense.?

[live_era]

hearing my first GN'R song and going to my first GN'R show

[diamondjwendel]

My first concert ever was GnR in Houston UYI. Sound Garden opened but we got there late and missed them. They opened with Night Train and it has been one of my favorite Gnr songs ever since.
That was my highlight until Sept. in Vegas. I was at both shows. It was incredible! Sat. show was the best "Better" rocked Bumblefoot doing "Don't Cry" solo was awsome! I caught a guitar pick from Bumblefoot. To be in such a small venue to see GnR. just dosn't get better than that. To be standing there waiting worndering "is he going to show?", " how long are we going to wait" "what are they going to play" and then you hear opening cords to Jungle! Damn it still gives me chills! I stood there when the show was over in awe... and then I relized I had tickets for the next night. Best concerts I have ever been to! Checking every day for the album knowing its coming... makes me want to fly to Chicago or Canada. Fan for life!

- Inland Invasion 2006 - over the web ! so excited over the fact that I was listening to them live.
- MSG 2006. Still recovering. I'm afraid it's all downhill from here.

1991, You Could Be Mine -- I was 13 and it fucking blew my mind... I recorded it from the radio and looped over and over again on one tape I listened for a week!!!!

1992, I saw GN'R live in Chile and Argentina...

1993, weird highlight, I was in the old band's last show in Buenos Aires... I would never thought that was the last time I'd see the original band together.

2000, when I heard Oh My God for the first time... I said "My dad is Back!!!"

2001, Vegas: It brought tears to my eyes.

2001, Rio: It brought MORE tears to my eyes!!

2005: When I downloaded 4 leaks from CD... I went WOW!

First time I heard GnR I was about 12, back in 1988. Myself and an older neighbour I used to hang about and smoke with was always playing tapes to me that he'd copy off guys from his boarding school. I remember listening to The Sex Pistols, Stiff Little Fingers, The Undertones and then he came along with this recording of Appetite for Destruction, it sounded amazing and as a kid back in 1988 it was great to hear someone swearing in a song. I recorded about 5 songs off him that night before I had to go home and went to bed playing the songs. Next day I ran over to record the rest. After a few weeks I went and bought Appetite on tape. I was blown away when I saw them on TV, they looked as cool as they sounded. They were on Headbanger's Ball playing The Roxy and it was class/ I remember my mother giving out to me and telling me to go to bed cos it was on kinds late but I pleaded with her to let me watch it. Soon after bought GNR Lies and probably had one of my first wanks looking at the inlay card  looking at the naked woman. I thought these guys were the baddest and greatest band ever. During the summer I'd cut grass to be able to afford to buy a new GnR T-Shirt every week. The guy who introduced me to GnR died a couple of years ago, I'm thankful to him for introducing me to the greatest band that ever was. I saw them in Slane Castle in '92, May 16th. It was a very hot and sunny day, best concert ever, I saw the new band this year in the RDS, Dublin, another great show. I'm still excited with the new band but nothing they do now will recapture the magic of the old days when they're tattoos were still wet.
