At the 47 sec. mark. That's one of the Axl moments that's always bothered me. The Video Vanguard Award has EVERYTHING to do with Michael Jackson and it was stupid of Axl to say otherwise.As far as my own favorite moment. If I narrow it down to one it's gotta be May 12, 2006 at the Hammerstein Ballroom. That show was epic on every level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

- antem Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 The only time I've seen them live, in Oslo: especially the beginning, with Chinese Democracy, and when DJ tried to spit in the air, just so the spit could fall down to the mouth again. So he did that several times, but one of the times he spat right on my hand! (I was in the front row ) And to feel the energy of the band, and the crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he was the first to get the award doesn't mean shit. They got it because they earned it. And that has nothing to do with MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casual Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Paradise City, Indiana 91. The energy I felt was like nothing before.That is epic that you were there. I've had to settle for watching the bootleg DVD several times. Looked like a great performance, and they were really on top of their game there.

Guest NewGNRnOldGNR Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I have had so many incredible moments as a GN'R fan it's really difficult to single out one as being the favorite instance. Every time Guns kick off a tour the excitement is explainable (in terms of what Axl looks/sounds like, what line-up takes to the stage, who does what solo etc.).Of course actually getting to catch Guns N' Roses on one of their tours is absolutely phenomenal. The brilliant stage set-up, dazzling pyrotechnics, raw energy, piercing vocals and kick-ass instrumentals makes for an amazing spectacle.Realizing I really really liked “Chinese Democracy” after picking it up (despite my friends rubbishing it outright as totally anti-GN'R sound, I have since learned they never even listened to it) was wonderful also. I would say not downloading any of the leaks made the experience almost magical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 For me it would have to be around 2006 when we were getting leaks, izzy was performing with gnr, axls december letter, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
