recklessroad Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 The question was already asked before and I pinned it,There are so many that stand out.1)The first gig at the Troubadour 6/6/85 I already knew all the guys from seeing them in other bands but, seeing them all together in this band for the first time, really stood out. It was different this time. 2)Hearing their first demo and knowing that when they put out a record it was going to sound really good when they find a real producer to catch their sound.3)seeing them be able to write their own music and it being so good. Also watching them come up with a new song every month that just would knock you off your feet.4) The Street Scene gig 9/28/85 seeing them maintain the stage and handle that very rowdy crowd that was about 2,000 deep after only playing for about 100 people before that gig. They just looked like they were Zeppelin or Aerosmith up their that day. That was when I knew that this was really going to work. 5) Seeing them sell out their first gig as a headliner at the Troubadour 11/22/85 and also their next headlining gig also at the Troubadour 1/4/86 both of those gigs I had helped them with a full page ad in Bam magazine and seeing that that ad had work was great. 6) They wrote "Nightrain" and "My Michelle" 2 weeks apart. Xmas 19857) Seeing the band get signed to Geffen Records and knowing that it was going to work because the music they wrote, their sound, their image, the vocals, the guitar playing were top notch.8) 8/86 seeing them put together SCOM and Brownstone in the same week9) Seeing them open up for Ted Nugent at the Santa Monica Civic 8/30/85 and seeing them win over that crowd of 4,000 people. They looked and sounded great. They got a great response. 10)"It's So Easy" knock me off my feet. What a fucking knock down blow that song is.11) Hearing AFD for the first time when it was done.12) seeing them open for the cult at the Long Beach arena in 198713 watching WTTJ hit top 10 rotation on MTV and knowing that this was it for the band. This was going to show the world who they were. Then the 1988 Ritz gig came soon after and that really helped too. I remember watching that live and being so proud that my friends were on stage showing the world their shit.14) 1988 touring with Aerosmith15) Seing SCOM and "Paradice City" videos take over MTV16) opening up for the Stones 4 shows in Los Angeles17) UYI and NOV Rain and Estrange seeing the light of day.18) 5 headlining nights in Los Angeles 8/91 4 at the forum and 1 in costa Mesa19)Axl spinning as he was coming out to finish the song with Elton John and the Freddie Mercury Tribute.20) stadium tours21 Hearing Axl's Vocals on the the chinese democracy demos for the first time after all those years.22) catching Axl's Mic at the inland invasion 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
