I had no aspirations to be a musician, but I picked up a guitar for two seconds and haven't put it down since. Slash

I write the vocals last, because I wanted to invent the music first and push the music to the level that I had to compete against it. Axl Rose

'Appetite for Destruction' was the only thing written with lyrics and melody fitting the guitar parts at the same time. After that, I got a barrage of guitar songs that I was supposed to put words to, and I don't know if that was the best thing for Guns. Axl Rose

I tried doing this before but it came out as a status ( I am soooo technologically challenged
) anyway I thought you might prefer this as a PM instead of just in a post. I was very touched by the story of your son, how he loved rocking out to AC/DC, doing the oi oi oi parts and such. he seems like he was a very cool dude and i'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my younger brother back in '77 and I often think we would have had a blast going to AC/DC concerts and GN'R ones as well. I am sure your son is looking down from above at you and is very proud of his rock Mum you seem to be a very nice, very cool person and I enjoy reading your posts. hope to read more soon, take care! -
Oh thank you AFR.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your brother in 1977, you never stop grieving for close family members & I can't imagine what that must have been like for your family. I actually lost both little boys. Kieran died at 7yrs in our arms in hospital and Bailey at 11yrs in respite care suddenly. They had juvenile Huntington's disease & my husband died Aug 2014 but for some reason I got a huge crush on Axl in 2011 which brought me out of a very dark place. I heard Patience on the radio & thought gnr had a new song out!!!! How wrong was I but I looked at that awful Axl Rose disaster video & my heart went out to him because last time I saw him he was in NR video every weekend.
Of course I had to find more videos & then found myself going over the years I'd not seen & was shocked at how naughty he was, the braids, the years he hadn't been around. When I developed that crush I fell in love with my husband all over again like when we first met in 1987, he was living in a residential due to Huntington's disease & I'd spend days up there with him. It softened the blow of losing him a little although Axl had to disappear for over a year which was frustrating. I was lucky to go to their concert with another of the forum members, get front row and Zosorose had contacted Bumble and arranged backstage passes after the concert. A night I'll never forget, my first rock concert in my 50s where we threw bras on the stage (Axl smiled lolol) & my friends gave me a hard time about it.
We waited at the gates for Axl to leave & finally his car came out, stopped & his window went down and he said "hi guys". He didn't get out even though there were only about 5 of us there but I'll never forget that deep voice.
When Bailey died I was diagnosed with breast cancer but just needed 2 operations but it came back at the end of 2013 & I had a mastectomy, radiation, chemo etc & while recovering I just listened to the Axl phone in when he was on a radio station years ago. Just what I needed, I love his voice.
I love him being in ACDC but I've noticed there's no ballads so his voice is going full on the whole time, at least there's quieter songs in GNR to give his voice that break. ACDC played at my high school hall in 1975 & I missed them, I lost interest after Bon died so I'm learning lots of songs I didn't know.
Thanks for writing, it's nice to have contact with people, not many here that I know as it's been ages since I posted. I just liked what you were posting & you didn't ridicule me for things I didn't know or you didn't know about ACDC as I go back a longer way than most on this forum.
Regards, Debbie

I should warn you I was a typist so once I get going I write long replies, sorry. I just remembered that this quiet shy person who was so nervous about meeting Team Brazil & the band actually found myself screaming AXL when he was near me & it was like I heard myself screaming to him but couldn't believe it was me.

i have been wanting to message you ever since I saw you were at the GN'R concert in Noblesville. this is my fave concert I have seen ( not in real life, the one i'm going to in Vegas the 8th will be my first EVER live GN'R concert ). but I am fascinated by Axl in this concert. excuse me in advance cos this may be a bit long and rambling but I have been dying to pick someone's brain about this particular concert! it seems to me that Axl was extremely friendly with the crowd here, do you think it was because he was "local boy does good returns home" ( well not his exact home we all know he's from Lafayette but you know what I mean ) "he had to flee in disgrace comes back in triumph" type thing? also he references Q95 radio station, which I follow on twitter and says that it saved his life then he asks "i just wonder where Mike Tennis (?) is now...who is/was Mike Tennis? I have googled him to no avail. and what about the girl he addresses right before they do "Bad Obsession"? he says something like you're *bleeping* distacting that's what you are honey!" is this the little miss T&A that he later brings on stage to dance? if not who is little miss T&A? I know Slash & Duff were wasted out of their minds, Axl has to steer Slash out of his way and kind of prop him up at one point...was Axl wasted too? he didn't appear to be. anyway as I said kind of rambling but if you have a chance i'd love to get the perspective of someone who was actually at this concert! Thanks in advance...:)

No worries, you're always welcome to message me. Let's see here. First off, the show you reference (that is on YouTube) was the second night of two back to back shows at Deer Creek. Axl was definitely firendly with the crowd on night two. But, on night one he was very stand-offish. When they came back in 1992 and played the Hoosier Dome with Metallica he was a flat out dick to the crowd. My opinion is that on night one he was very nervous (they started about an hour later than night two) and he wasn't very interactive with the crowd at all. Night two was definitely better as far as that goes. My opinion is he was just in a "good mood" really. It's fairly well known he has no love lost for this state for several reasons. Mike Tennis is someone Axl and Izzy went to school with here in Indiana. Yes, the girl before Bad Obsession that he interacted with is the same girl that he brought up on stage during Rocket Queen. Slash and Duff were wasted both nights, Axl did not seem to be.....I was wasted night one, so my recollectio of that night is a bit more fuzzy. At any rate, at this point in time I think Axl was over the "getting wasted" stuff himself and I believe he drank, but not heavily. If you have more questions, I'll be glad to answer as best I can
