Popular Post gnr5 Posted July 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2020 Source: https://www.instagram.com/p/CCLfhSxAO5Z/ After all these years I decided to publish these pictures that I've had since '92. My dad owns a photo studio and most newspapers used to develop their films there. Back in 1992 the music photographer for the local newspaper shot GNR and took about 3 films, over 100 pictures of the show, all in B&W. My dad asked the photographer if he could give me some shots and he said he only needed one pic for the story and let my dad keep the films. I kept these three shots, plus the ones from Slash, Matt, Gilby, and Duff that you can see on GNROnTour. One day during the deep cleaning of the lab, someone threw out the original films. I've kept these shots safe, I was only 9 back then, now I'm 37 with two kids, my wife thinks I'm crazy that I kept these three pictures intact through moving countries, etc. Enjoy. One day I'll tell the story how the Caracas '92 bootleg came out. 22 10 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlterL Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Back when we could have concerts in Venezuela, I think I read somewhere that this was the largest concert we ever had in here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was referring to the largest crowd in Venezuela, I'm sure it was back then. They didn't have a big enough stadium and had to play in an arena's parking lot. From what I remember it was roughly 25000 people, one of the pictures that were lost was a picture of the audience, it was insane. Probably some point after '92 there were bigger shows there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzagbigbag Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Awesome. Thank you very much. It sounds silly but these pictures show why I love(d) this band so much and why I do still visit this forum every day. Back then Axl was one bad ass motherfucker with charisma as fuck. Today he is ... well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allwaystired Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) 24 posts and no-one has pointed out the similarity between their pyjamas and Axl's attire. Allow me to be the first then: Axl looks like he's wearing my pyjamas. Edited July 6, 2020 by allwaystired 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
