Subtle Signs Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I feel bad for a lot of you. You watched a band called "Guns N Roses" while some of us saw THE Guns N Roses.Damn, I bet Tracii tore it up. Shit you're lucky to have seen them. They only played a few shows. He meant the AFD/UYI lineups. You know the band that the majority of fans outside of these boards consider to be Gn'R. I wish I could have seen a show prior to 92 but luckily we have some old timers on here and a true insider, Marc Canter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfuckinga Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 it ticks me off when people use seeing the original line up as a point of elitist pride... congratulations, you happen to have been born earlier than me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonegunner Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 ^^ Sorry about your shitty timing.Elitist? Really? I knew a guy that saw Hendrix. I thought it was awesome. I didn't fucking whine about it.I'm not whining about it, I'm just pointing out that because someone has seen them with the original line-up does not make them a bigger fan, nor their opinion more valid. I wasn't pointing at anyone in particular it is just something that arises time to time on these boards.I'm relatively happy that I have seen every member, except Izzy, in some musical incarnation over the past 10 years.

magisme Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) I don't think that people who saw the original band are better than me, but i do think they saw a better band than I've seen. You know, having written and recorded almost all the songs and that. Edited January 8, 2014 by magisme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacardimayne Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) January 17 2010, Edmonton Sick show, they played 10 CD songs and Axl was at the top of his game. He never sounded better post-1993 than he did on that Canada tour. Edited January 8, 2014 by bacardimayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastodonny Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 The quote thing is not working for me.Yes, I saw Tobias at 01/01/01 HOB show. I have seen every version of GnR at one point or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManOverBoard Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Mine was the first Hammerstein show in 2006.I had a chance to see them open for Aerosmith on the Permanent Vacation tour in 1987(?), maybe 1988, but the tickets were $21.I was 13, and that was too much money at the time... one of my only regrets in life.

metallex78 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 June 2007 two nights in Sydney, AustraliaI missed seeing original GN'R 14 years earlier, and was so excited to see Axl live... FINALLY!The band was tight, and Axl sang his ass off for 3 hours, starting around midnight.Then I saw them again in Melbourne in March last year, the band was still tight, but Axl was a bit hit and miss throughout the show.
