Gunner55 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Couldn't tell you for sure. Obviously grew up hearing the classics on the radio here and there. My earliest memory though would be Paradise City in the backyard while walking from the garage to the deck sometime in the early 2000s. Dunno why that sticks out so much. Just an 11 year going to the backyard pool and hearing Paradise City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homefuck Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Heard some of my peers doing a cover of scom when I was in junior high. Wasn't impressed. About a year later, I saw the music video of PC, loved the song and how cool the band looked, haven't fallen in love with a band/artist in the same way before or since. A couple of weeks later, I bought AFD, and that was it. My adolescence was all about GNR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screamin' Demon Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) You Could Be Mine! When I was watching Terminator 2 - Judgment Day; I first heard a part of the song when John was revving up his bike while Janelle is telling him to get in there and clean up his room until Todd comes out and tells him to do so and he takes off on his bike, then he is riding in the flood control channel with the intro jam building up, and then finally in the ending credits when the Terminator 2 theme finished and the first 2 minutes of You Could Be Mine played I couldn't believe it! It was the most rebellious song I had ever heard at that point and it never left me! Edited April 28, 2022 by Screamin' Demon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXL_N_DIZZY Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 “WTTJ” in the summer of 1988 (I was 12). Completely hooked when I heard “SCOM” a few months later that fall. My favorite band ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintari Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 The first time I heard them was as a kid walking through the living room while MTV was airing the Ritz. I can't tell you what song it was, because it wasn't really the music that caught my eye. It was the fact that they looked like real, honest-to-God criminal skuz-buckets. Even though I was just a kid, I could tell that right away. These guys weren't like Bon Jovi or Poison. These guys were the real deal. Scary mother fuckers lol. I was hooked. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayno Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) Don't Cry on the radio, 1991 or 92. Not bad "choice" considering the fact it was the first song written for GN'R. Edited May 1, 2022 by Rayno 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't Cry *may* have in fact been the first song that I heard from GN'R as well; I recall seeing it in the full music video version & it may have been prior to seeing You Could Be Mine in Terminator 2. Nonetheless, You Could Be Mine took the first impression on me & sunk deep down into me seeing that I was more into adolescent, juvenile hobbies at that time & didn't understand deep, meaningful things as effectively as I do now that I'm 36. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomek1985 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) My cousin bought TSI cassette on premiere so I assume first ever was some of that. I didnt like it at that time, i was around 8 yrs old. YCBM was my first choice cause of t2, so around 1995 it clicked for me. Edited May 8, 2022 by Tomek1985 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
