Chris 55 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Yeah I feel like they didn't wanna post the one with Slash's face on it. Especially since they ban people from wearing anything with Slash on it at their concerts now.Thought that was a myth ?No, it's true. Happened at all five shows I went to this past US round:11/17/2011 - East Rutherford, NJ11/26/2011 - Camden, NJ2/12/2012 - NYC, New York2/15/2012 - NYC, New York2/27/2012 - Philadelphia, PAPlus, check this out:http://www.nme.com/news/guns-n-roses/64110Eh, let's make another thread for that.

Guest GHS Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Agreed. The best debut rock album in history (maybe In the Court of the Crimson King -- King Crimson -- should also be remembered as one of the best debut albums...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val22 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 It is still one of the all time greatest rock albums of all time and it will continue to be so for generations to come!Happy 25th anniversary AFD!

Bobbo Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Shame we CAN'T get some REAL 25th anniversary perks; like early demos, proper remasters, etc. because Axl simply can't be bothered or be mature enough to communicate with ex members for business purposes.Enjoy your belt buckles Canada.

On topic: I'll never forget when Paradise City debuted on MTV, it was a global event. I used to call dial mtv and vote for GnR all the time.

Guest Sleeping Like An Angel Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Warning: cringe worthy post.Without doubt AFD changed how I viewed music forever. I still remember how excited it made me about music - it was like nothing I had ever heard before. I found it hard to sit still when i listened to it. It was bad, dirty, exciting, different and funky. The first time I heard it the biggest dilema for me was deciding whether to move on to the next awesome song or rewind the amazing one I just heard! I remember being fixated with Mr. Brownstone in particular. When I listen to a song I love I can listen to it 10 times in a row. Each time I pick a different aspect and concerntrate on that. For example I'll focus on the bass one time, the lead guitar next, then drums etc. Anyway, I was really taken in by the drums and guitar in that song. I also thought there were two singers in the band thanks to the range of a certain A. Rose. (I mean that as a compliment to Axl's voice).Then there was SCOM. I know SCOM is a big hit and I sound like an airhead saying this but, it really is the most perfect song. I can't think of one thing I would change about it. I feel very attached to AFD. It did so much for me and made me realise you can make awesome music with raw talent and the basic instruments. Well done to Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy and Steven. Happy Birthday AFD. Thank you to everyone who had a part in making it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trqster Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Axl must have mixed feelings about AFD as Slash had such a big part on it...I'm sure in Axl's mind he'd like to re-record AFD's Slash's & Steve's parts with DJ's & Brain/Frank's inputs and launch a new glorified remastered truly perfect AFD!

vaida Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 For the 25th of AFD they should have put together a DVD / Blu-ray containing material from the many hours of footage Slash claims they have locked in a vault, with you know who as the key holder.

dalsh327 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 When it came out, compact discs were just starting to take over vinyl, and it was prob. one of the few that people bought the album, tape, and compact disc of. It might have been the last vinyl they ever bought, and cars all over America had it playing in their cars the summer of 1988, 1989, and 1990. And the fact that the world embraced this group of LA misfits and identified with the music globally, and still do, is staggering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
