MikeMatt Posted March 3 Posted March 3 Curious to see where this lands. From Appetite or Use I or II ? Quote
Strike Posted March 3 Posted March 3 I have a bunch right up there but this one stands out because it was the first time I'd ever heard a G'n'R song. We were at a strip club and one of the hottest strippers I've ever seen danced to it: Welcome to the Jungle I'll never forget that song/dance, or Santana Quote
BeenHereBefore Posted March 3 Posted March 3 I'm gone with One in a Million, Use to Love Her was cool too. If we are being serious November Rain is their best! Quote
MikeMatt Posted March 3 Author Posted March 3 I’m not locking my song in yet but like Strike, I remember where and when I first heard/seen G n R. Wasn’t 21 yet so at a dive bar on Meachum Ave in Elmont NY that served minors. Packed bar 5 deep. Had on MTV and when they played Welcome to the Jungle on and everyone stopped , listened and watch Axle. Crazy times Quote
patweisers44 Posted March 3 Posted March 3 Their cover of Whole Lotta Rosie is awesome, but as far as GnR songs go, give me Civil War or Get In The Ring Most Hated: mostly due to over playing is Paradise City Quote

WTTJ is one of those songs I remember hearing for the first time. Life changing might be a little strong, but it was definitely a seminal moment. Insert puberty joke here. Quote

Bon Jovi had Cinderella open for them. I’m a big hair band guy and BJ was just too sawft for me Quote

Thinking back to that tour- tix were ~$35 to see the two biggest bands in rock at the time, GNR and Metallica. That seemed like a fortune in 1992, LOL. Faith No More was opening and I love that band to this day. Never been so excited for a concert. They played the old Metrodome during an epic thunderstorm; you could hear the thunder over the music and see the lightning flashes through the roof, which was pretty cool. Metallica was amazing, then GNR just kinda... underwhelmed after taking the stage at least an hour late. Had to leave in the middle of November Rain because it was a school night. I think we got home around 2:00 am. Quote

That first album was a breath of fresh air at a time when hair bands and crappy music in general dominated, but I quickly grew tired of Axl and all the stupid stuff. Quote
