gunsguy Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) Pick one moment, a cd release, a concert, a good time?Pick one moment link to youtube for concerts etc.The first time you heard them? The first time you saw them?What has been your biggest GN'R highlight and why?Can you define one moment in time that was the best for you personally?

Chewbacca Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 My mom listened to AFD when I was still "In Utero". But I only gave Gn'R a go when I first saw them (TV) at RIR 2001. And I think my favorite moment with them was at the POA show in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterdays-Civil-War Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Man o' man, this is a great question!There are so many rants I want to pick and related things that Axl has done and said, "Are you listening to me Mr. Security Man," "Ok, Nevermind," "You are an asshole and every knows it..." "Because the family doesn't want to be embarrassed by these things coming out..." "Forgive those that fuck up my show"But if I did that I feel as though I'm picking my favorite Axl Rose moment and not GN'R moment.I've never seen them live and probably never will if they don't come back to the U.S. so I guess I can't use that for my moment.And picking just one show, that's just too hard.My personal favorite GN'R moment was when I heard "Think About You", that is the song that would propel my interest into GN'R forever, but I guess that really isn't GN'R history.So my favorite moment in GN'R history (subject to change of course) would probably be the release of Appetite for Destruction.

Guest Len B'stard Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Guns & Aerosmith doing Mama Kin together onstage - not that i'm a huge fan of Aerosmith although i do like em quite a bit, Pump i really like, the album that is. Anyway, yeah, that songs just fucking built for those two bands and quite frankly i think Guns really take it somewhere that Aerosmith don't, not that Aerosmiths version sucks, far from it, it's as good as Gunses one i reckon. Just sort of different, the accents are in different places. It's an interesting thing, seeing that many egos onstageGuns and Stones doing Salt of the Earth - No explanation neededHEY!! You wanna flip me off you motherfucker?!?! Come up here, punk! I know i know thats a total misquote but i'm sure the right people know the exact wording.

The Glow Inc. Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Probably Bumblefoot trolling audiences with his flying foot guitar and atonal shred.That was awesome. Wish he'd do it again.Wish he'd play the November Rain solo backwards with this guitar : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumble's Bridge Pickup Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Listening to CD for the first time. Also was the first full album featuring Axl on it that I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seely Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Hard to pick just one....but seeing the finally on stage breaking into 'Chinese Democracy' at Reading 2010 was pretty special for me. The first band I got into, the band that got me into music, after 5 years, finally seeing them live was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetness Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 The bootleg from Middleton New York from when GNR was on tour opening for Aerosmith in 88 I think it was. I always remember that for some reason, probably as close to seeing the old band I'll ever get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrealer Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 - The RIR show in 2001, I was in my room, listening to the live webcast with a few other gunners- Spending time with Slash in his tour bus in Montreal. It was while he was on tour with Snakepit and Eric Dover took us on the bus to meet him. I was disapointed by who I've met to be honest.- Driving to Toronto with my wife to see them for the first time. Took us so long because of a huge snow storm.- The Montreal show in 2010. Seeing them in Montreal was amazing. The Bell center was so loud. Meeting Axl after the show and going to the privateparty was amazing. Having a drink with Axl and Baz was unreal. There was a few members of the forum there that night and everyone was really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl's singing is magic in the end there.There are a lot of old line up moments too, but they've been already mentioned in this thread.
