    That dance move Axl called "the farmer's shuffle." When we hung at the Cathouse before GNR was famous, Axl was one of the few rocker musicians who would get out on the dance floor. Most rocker musicians considered it "uncool" to get out and dance. You could always count on Axl to cut loose, he didnt give a shit what people thought.

      Guns and Roses had a hard deal when Nirvana became popular. GNR succeeded where others (like Metallica, Def Leppard, Megadeth, etc) couldn't compete.
      We think it was nostalgia for 80's hair band rock that people clung onto GNR long after this type of music too a back seat following the revolution that Nirvana ushered in.
      What was the title of GNR's album after Kurt died? Something like "The Spaghetti Incident"? Total embarrassment. GNR was KIA after Kurt died.
      GNR was like the only active band that resisted and lasted after Grunge came to town, but they didn't last too long. It was like a death spiral, watching the landscape of Rock change into another era. It was like the "Changing of the Guards" in all honesty. After which, Metallica cut their hair and became radio friendly, much to the dismay of the bygone 80's.

    A GnR classic. If you want to go more slow-paced for your next one, you can do "Patience" or "Knockin' On Heaven's Door". For something faster, you can do "Mr. Brownstone," or "You Could Be Mine" (from Terminator 2). Or you could take an unexpected turn and do "Since I Don't Have You" or even "I Used to Love Her, But I Had to Kill Her". :)

I want to relive the shows, of course, but I would laugh my ass off watching your brains melt live! You would never be the same. This was high powered stuff live. I think most reactors don’t really know how fucking loud some of these shows were across the board. Some bands really pushed it. No one wore ear plugs! Everyone was drunk and stoned on top of it! It was a fucking scene just in the audience! Every maniac high and ready for this spectacle! I have a stupid, ridiculous, long list of bands and concerts that I saw many, many times over the years. Looking back, I can barely believe the amount of concerts and partying I did. Many of the top Rock Bands several times each. I don’t want to do some of my list now, but it’s extensive.

    I can still remember the first time I heard the album Appetite for Destruction in the late 1980s!! My musical tastes in those days went along the lines of heavy metal and some hair metal bands stuff like Van Halen Iron Maiden Motley Crue to name a few!! Friend of mine suggested that I listen to Appetite for Destruction and I was instantly in love with the album and the sound!! Guns'n'roses really hit the scene like a ton of bricks seemingly coming from out of nowhere to become one of the greatest rock bands from that era!! Their downfall was Axl's ego and drug addiction!!!

    G&R was kind of like Boston, in that they came out with a debut album that had what were clearly going to be classic hits. "Paradise City" is one of those hits. "Appetite for Destruction" is the album.
    As for the era, this was well into the MTV era ... so the industry promoting music, especially rock, was strong.

    1980s music was so full of fun and energy. The bands always performed to their best, and growing up as a teen in the 80s was a blast. Sneaking out of the house to drink a beer in the "Pines", hitchhiking to concerts in Detroit and making it home JUST in time for our parents to wake us up on Saturday morning. Making new friends at concerts was a blast. No fear of someone being stupid in the crowd and killing someone like now. Just dancing, singing, and partying. I'd relive those years in a heartbeat.

He went on to form L.A. Guns. Check them out. They have several hits according to what you want to hear Ballad Of Jayne is a big power ballad. Kill That Girl is very heavy. And they have all in between.
