- Sun shines as thousands of fans head to Slane Castle to see Guns N’ Roses.
The mood of the fans had been good-humoured all day, right from early morning when young people started to stream down the approaches to Slane Castle.
For many with a business eye, the event was a God-sent chance to peddle their wares. Concert goers passed through security checks manned by uniformed Gardaí. Whatever drinking was to be done had to consumed outside the concert area.
A more refined atmosphere predominated in the VIP area where the champagne flowed. Slane Castle owner Lord Henry Mountcharles was keeping his fingers crossed that everything would go smoothly.
By mid-afternoon, the giant natural amphitheatre had begun to fill up, and the first of the support groups was on the stage. Trouble was the last thing on the minds of the fans,
"It’s a good crowd, you know, they’re only here to hear the music, they’re not here to fight or anything like that."
An RTÉ News report first broadcast on 16 May 1992. The reporter is Tom Kelly.
My dad nearly stopped me going the night before the concert because he was reading the papers watching the news about all the hype with security and he didnt know it was a rock band !! I think he just heard the Roses part when I got the tickets and thought sweet !!! Then it dawned on him Guns and Roses lol ....I got there in the end ....😊😊😊 my God ..listening to the young one in the end it was like listening to someone from the dark ages ...no wonder my dad was perplexed !
Careful now
Down with that sort of thing
A great day is was too!!!
I remember it well.
0:15 is that the Mrs Brown's Boys fella?
I tink so!
Remember it well. Axl Rose spent more time in wardrobe than he did on stage. I got locked drunk too.
I don't remember that much lol 😆
Mind the gap
I was there, liked GNR but huge FNM fan-still am. Remember roses were about an hour late on stage, the human towers, warm Bulmers and the shit chips. Good times.
Apparently Axl was coked off his bin and didn't want to leave his hotel room. . . .
Those were the days I was only 13yrs old & me & my best friend were there not drinking right beside the stage thinking slash was actually looking at me 🤣🤣🤣 My best friends older cousin there to look after us .What a time to grow up the Alice in Clains in S.F.X when they were only starting out ....Now I have a son nearly 12ys old into heavy mental the classics & learning the drums 🥁
Take me *back* to the paradise city where the grass was green and the girls were prettay…
