recklessroad Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 It was the first song the AFD line up wrote together. That night it was the 3rd song in their set. The song still sounds fresh and current and probably will always be. 27 years ago today. Happy birthday!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was put together by Axl and Izzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lim666 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Don't cry was the first song GNR wrote before Slash Duff and Steven were in the band. It was put together by Axl and Izzybut Marc, according to your book they've already written and performed "Don't Cry" live with the new Hollywood Rose on December 31, 1984. so it's not really the 1st GN'R song - even if band members often said so?

classicrawker Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 The song still sounds fresh and current and probably will always be. 27 years ago today. It is timeless rock much like the Stones and will never get old.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did book a gig under the name Hollywood Rose but then a minute latter merge with LA Guns to start GNR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Was the first time you heard the song that night, or did you get to hear it as a work in progress? Hearing it on the radio for the first time must have been a memorable day, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
