It doesn't matter how old you get,great music is great music, I'm 47 and at 12 years old in 1988 my mate copied a tape of ' Appetite ' for me. I loved it and became an instant fan and 35 years later I still love them. One of the best bands ever
❤ich bin jetzt 63 und bin glücklich jetzt dieses geile Konzert gucken zu können 😊 Danke UA-cam habe Sie zwei mal live bei Riesen Open Airs gesehen Stuttgart/Mannheim zu use Your Illusion Zeiten aber Appetite for Destruction was für ein Meisterwerk, Sweet Child oh Mine ❤❤❤❤Sie hätten die Größte Band der Welt werden können 😊
Not one of the "drummers" after Adler have even held a match! Some say he's "sloppy", but it's the same guys who say that Jimi Page's playing is also "sloppy". My response? "Show me YOUR Wiki page, buddy" :D
@@MrMashman93 "Far Beyond Driven" is epic as well!!...It's almost a non-skip album for me but I rarely listen to the "Planet Caravan" track ..So I rate "Vulgar" higher. :-)
@@bustercherry8734 I agree 100%..."Planet Caravan" is not the best choice for Sabbath Cover or album closer...And...It doesn't take away from the album at all "5 mins Alone" and "I'm Broken" have been wonderfully blasting my ear drums for 30 years .. But..."Planet Caravan" still counts as a track skip...BTW "BadMotorFinger" by Soundgarden rotates in and out of my top 3...That album exists as one solid piece of musical furniture. ;-)
It is sad how they let hin go. When they were all screwed up. I mean shit, you had to know that the way this would end they were, having fun, let's say, that you would have to help your brother up and over.
@@JohnRidersoldoutforjesusHe was especially messed up even for GNR. I forget all the details but it’s not that they didn’t give him a million chances but I guess it’s how it goes sometimes. It’s quite tragic as I agree, his drumming is technically great and even more so, his creativity is part of the GNR sound.
One of the few concerts from the 80s that's worth multiple re-watching even today and more so in the distant future to show what 80s Rock n Roll was all about. This is the benchmark bands should measure themselves against to see where they have come. Izzy Stradlin really is the definition of cool.
So true and so sad no band came after them. Also sad they never reached their potential…only 3 full length albums of which only 1 album with the original lineup.
I went to a concert in November 1987 in my hometown. Motley Crue was the headliner. The Crue were the pinnacle of arena rock at the time. They had this opening band I hadn't heard of. Remember, no internet back then. These 5 guys come out and proceed to burn the arena down. It was Guns n Roses. I was at the local mall the next day buying Appetite for Destruction. Nuf said. Lighters up! 🤘
Tracklist: 01:59 - It's So Easy 05:46 - Mr. Brownstone 10:44 - Out ta Get Me 14:40 - Sweet Child o' Mine 21:38 - My Michelle 25:46 - Knockin' on Heaven's Door 32:49 - Welcome to the Jungle 39:19 - Nightrain 44:31 - Paradise City 51:47 - Rocket Queen
Before "Welcome to the Jungle" broke, I was listening to an interview with Dave Meniketti, lead singer of Y & T. He was asked about what up and coming bands we should look for. He said right away Guns N' Roses. I went right out and bought "Appetite", and he couldn't have been more right. that album is absolutely in my top 5 favorites of all time, and I was 21 at the time... probably the best period in time to be that age. Music will NEVER be like that again....
Shooter, I was 8 when this concert was videoed. I missed the Guns and Roses rage in the 80s because I was too young. I knew some of their big songs, of course, but about 3 months ago I was searching for a new band and I came across Civil War. I've been rocking to GNR ever since. I have a new respect for their music. Slash is a wizard on that fucking Les Paul. Axl's vocal range was more than Freddy Mercury! Awesome to see Steven Adler on drums. I agree, rock music is kind of lost right now.
This is a depiction of absolute perfection. Each and everyone of these individuals came together and created something legendary and beyond extraordinary. Every young up n coming band should be "required" to watch this concert as part of their initiation. It amazes me to see that, even way back then, Slash was already such an awesome guitar player. And Axl... man what can we say about him except that he was (and is) truly awesome.
Axl was pure raw adrenaline rush in this era. They were indeed at their very best here- no doubt. 1991 Rock N' Rio is a close second in my opinion even though Adler was gone by then. I love the way Axl was dressed for this show. He looked like a true rocker/ biker dude. 🥰😍🤩❤
I just wanted to live again to have the pleasure of hearing appetite for the first time, nothing compares to discovering music for the first time, the sounds, the rhythms, the lyrics, brutal.
I feel like people on UA-cam don't understand the definition of "underrated," as I see it on almost every music video. Izzy is wildly known for his genius; he was the soul of GNR.
This is a rock ' s masterpiece, Guns and Roses are true legends.....nobody like them...all of this guy great musician and rock icon...to see them togheter is amazing! Axl, so intense, so wild, so extreme....best singer and frontman in rock history . He' s really out of this world!!!!
I watched this live when it was broadcast and recorded it on VCR. I was a senior in high school. I had seen them the year before, opening for Motley Crue. Blew my mind.
Same here! But without Mama Kin. That was a special treat! A lost performance until now. And this is also when we first heard Knocking on Heaven's Door. It would be a few years before they would release the song with more production and so on. I like this version a little more.
It's good to see the initial band, Steven Adler on drums, Axl Rose and the whole group in general at their best, it's a great concert, I've wanted to see it for years.
@@user-rc9vk9ix6t with the dog shit voals, cancelled shows, shows with no Axl they were hardly the best anything. You kids think that time was all wonderful and have no clue LoL
When I was in 9th grade, a local Atlanta station, 96 Rock (RIP) played this one night in its entirety. I was in bed when they announced it was coming on and I had to scramble to find a blank tape! 😂 I played that “off the radio” copy until the tape almost wore out! PS - This version of KOHD is 100x better than the studio version that wound up on UYI 2.
Amazing how well it sounded for back then, concerts these days can’t even get that sound most of the time. The best there was and ever will be for their genre.
The raw, authentic intensity displayed by Axl combined with the band playing at an epic level made me a fan forever! This show made me a Gunner 4 life! Axl is the King! #GnFnR # 1 all time !!
Quien iba a pensar que primero no querían publicar sus videos por ser muy crudos según ellos,y después hasta un concierto para MTV los dejaron presentar
I don’t think there is any better video and audio that captures this band’s greatest performance than this show. They were 100% at the top of their game. Loose and just in the moment and Axle smiling you know it’s a good show.
This show represents GNR at their absolute peak as a rock band. Before Axl’s ego exploded, and the money, drugs and fame eroded the fabric of the band. I saw GNR a few years later at The Ritz as they kicked off the Use Your Illusion tour and then again in 2021 on the We’re F*#kin’ Back tour. Glad to still have GNR around but this 1988 performance is how I like to remember the band.
You are 10000% correct. They are young, hungry, raw, unpredictable, original 5 and axl still has his voice! I aslo them during UYI tour in 92…I was a few years too young to make the AFD tour :-(
@@THEDISAFFECTEDgreat show you are referring to…thanks for reminding me of it, just watched it for the first time in many years. I also like their accoustic performance at CBGB’s.
i can't watch them live currently anymore. it's not the same. axl's voice is gone. i've listened to them so much for 35 years that i know what his voice used to be and it hurts to hear live now.
This lineup is mind blowing, life changing. Every member is a secret weapon. Everything after Lies was a different band and nothing to do with this in every way perfect Rock N’ Roll band.
Constant sold out stadium tours since coming back with Slash and Duff i don't think is dead in a nailed coffin.....they just played San Antonio Tuesday night to 50,000 fans and I was there and it was incredible. 3 and half hours set!!!
Slash Duff and axl have not written a song to together since 1991. They are still great live and I’ve seen them twice (including last month) since Axl reunited with Slash/Duff, but they are unfortunately a nostalgia act.
@@TowGunner I agree. It seemed so strange seeing him going into the audience and connecting with his fan's. That sure didn't last long. I saw a comment that compared Axle to Jani and in my opinion their was no comparison. No one connected to his fan's like Jani and as far as vocals went although I loved GnR in the day Axle was tone deaf he just really knew how to use his voice.
Still the most real metal punk country soul band ever! They had it all and Axl was an amazing performer! Slash Izz Duff Steve Adler these guys are amazing!!!
The boys were so bad ass they won music awards in 1990 for the 1987 release of Appetite for destruction. I watched them win the award live and said that was truly awesome. I really like the way the band smiles when they were on stage. They don't smile as much now, i saw them twice last year in 2023. The music was great, but 35 years has put a strain on Axel voice. At least we have these videos to remind us how great they were in thier prime, its hard to beat the original line up. Axel doesn't hammer the air to the beat of the drum no more, i missed his enthusiasm. Still all in all they were the only band i saw twice last year, which says a lot since i watched, AC DC, Metallica, Tool, Judas priest, iron maiden, last year live. GNR was still the only band worth seeing twice in one year. Last year they played 3.5 hour sets, easily got your moneys worth. This one hour set is still priceless.
I’m very excited to see Steve's energy, technique and joy when playing the drums is not compared to any drummer that has gone through Gnr! He and his smile are incomparable❤
Guns n' Roses emerged when everyone thought that glam metal was dying. They were the saviors of rock n' roll. This was the Guns that conquered the world. They were wild, hedonistic, tight, and amazingly creative. The biggest rock n roll band back then. The world will always remember this!
glam metal was dying. GNR was not glam metal. They were the transition from hair bands/glam rock to Alternative/grunge. They were really their own thing.
There was a time back in the 80s when all the new bands looked and sounded identical...snd becaus of this, the genre was killing itself. Then...Guns N Roses came on the scene with one of the best debut albums ever and made it exciting again!
They were all soooo young here!! You can hear how raw Axl's voice still was, def matured a bit later on...he has always been such a presence on a stage!
What set Axl from the rest is he didn't try to imitate or look like his idol. He just went out and be himself and go crazy. Fans love it and GNR got big!
This gig is where every previous rock band aspired to & every band after didn’t entirely understand. The pinnacle of rock music, saw it on mtv when I was 14 years old, still can’t stop watching it.
I remember like it was yesterday, 1987, sitting on the couch at my girlfriend’s house and the debut of Welcome to the Jungle came on MTV. I turned to her and said, this is going to be huge!
Io ho c'ero..a questo tour e anche a quello successivo😍😍😍😍🤟🤟🤟sempre sotto il palco..praticamente avevo Axl cosi vicino che potevo toccarlo sopratutto fargli rivolgere lo sguardo verso di noi...sono andata sempre con la mia amica fissata e innamorata ci questa Meravigliosa rockband!!!!
E li AMO anche ora...nonostante gli anni sono sempre...i migliori al mondo ❤❤❤ tra i giovani di adesso..non ho ancora notato nessuna band o personaggi che un mimimo si avvicina a loro...ancora nessunooooo...!!!
Man, this concert just blows my mind. I had seen it many times before but it is truly amazing. THAT Sweet Child O Mine guitar solo executed to utter perfection.
I wouldn't say it's played to perfection... the fast bridge part, where the wah kicks in, sounds actually quite bad... but it's quite raw, I will give it that Now the Japan 92 solo... that we could say was perfect
@@anibalmax1981 Yes you are correct. Considering how stoned Slash usually was in those early days, it’s a wonder he was able to still play as he did. Lol
I'm 44 now and still enjoying watching Guns this time 2024.
Same! Always been my favorite band since I was 13. I'm 44 now! They're videos just get better with time. Gnfr!
It doesn't matter how old you get,great music is great music, I'm 47 and at 12 years old in 1988 my mate copied a tape of ' Appetite ' for me. I loved it and became an instant fan and 35 years later I still love them.
One of the best bands ever

44 myself!!! Woke up this mornig rockin out!
49 and getting a real thrill outta this again !
I love how Steve is always smiling behind his kit. He’s having the time of his life
nah, he's just high af
@@richied5294 ROFL!!!
What you're witnessing here is the purest expression of rock & roll in the 1980's. They were flawless & gritty AF simultaneously.
Slash' solos were off
@@SavedbyHim you would be off too if you were as high as they were that night
It's a concert it isin't the same as the record@@SavedbyHim
@@user-ce9gi1ly5p I know but he called it flawless, had to point out that Slash had way better live performances than this one
Even for being live the playing is sloppy. Slash was Slush that night.
Steven gives them such an energy, they haven't been the same since he left
You cannot deny Steven Adler's live groove.
Adler was amazing
Absolutely!
The man had swing
Not one of the "drummers" after Adler have even held a match! Some say he's "sloppy", but it's the same guys who say that Jimi Page's playing is also "sloppy". My response? "Show me YOUR Wiki page, buddy" :D
He looks so joyful here, infectious.
Sad they lost him to excessive drug use. They lost everything with Adler & Izzy Stradlen.
This is the soul of Guns N' Roses.
There’s not many albums that you can start on track 1 and not skip any songs. Appetite for destruction is one of those
100 Correct ..My Top 3 are 1) GnR - "Appitite For Destruction" 2) Alice In Chains - "Dirt" 3) Pantera "Vulgar Display Of Power".
@@countmackular4108Far beyond Driven released March 22, 1994 was one hell of a follow up after VDOP.

In this show it was Axl rose his voice was at his best that night. Matter of fact the whole band sounded unfreakingbelievable
the scary thing is, steven said this was a good concert but they had way better ones over in london, i'd love to see footage of those shows :D
WHAT CAN WE SAY.... THEY ARE STUPENDOUS ❤❤❤❤❤❤!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.....
And they were all probably all high or drunk. Unbelievable
That Welcome To The Jungle was Axl and the band at their peak. Unreal. 32:22.
Nothing beats primal Guns n' Roses!
At their best! I never get tired of these old videos
the last true rock band.
The best band of the 80s. Hands down. True Rock n roll. I
Adler what a machine
Rewatching this.
Steve Adler put his soul into every beat.
Yes, this is the lineup. No substitutions.
I miss them. I miss these days.
ME TOO !! THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLD DAYS !!❤❤❤❤ A LONG LONG TIME AGO !!!❤❤❤❤
THEY DO BRING BACK GOOD OLD DAYS !!!!❤❤❤❤❤
The best part about this whole video is watching how into it and happy Adler is.
It's a crime they never released this on DVD or Blu Ray!!
Probably the rawest and grittiest band you'll ever see. They were so real and I don't think you'll see this ever again
Nope, you are so right and they will never be this good no mater how good they get, the magic is gone
@@kdar93 there's nothing real anymore. Everything is manufactured. This was real and people knew it
The kast great rock n roll bands to ever walk thus earth! There will never be another like them again as long as this planet spins!!
My dad wasn't a fan of GN'R but that never stopped him from teaching me how to play their songs on my beat up Yamaha. Thanks Dad!
I was a child back then, but I find most people from back then either loved or hated them.
Wasn’t a fan but was able to play gnr songs on a beat up acoustic 🙄
@@trisin my father was a talented musician. He was able to listen to songs and replicate them.
This lineup was elite.
Steve Adlers drumming is how its done. Technical drummers will never understand this. Sounds amazing.
It is sad how they let hin go. When they were all screwed up. I mean shit, you had to know that the way this would end they were, having fun, let's say, that you would have to help your brother up and over.
@@JohnRidersoldoutforjesus Yeah when ya down everyone gossips and gasps behind ya back. Its strange.
And as a drummer, so much fun to play
They were never as good after they booted Adler
@@JohnRidersoldoutforjesusHe was especially messed up even for GNR. I forget all the details but it’s not that they didn’t give him a million chances but I guess it’s how it goes sometimes. It’s quite tragic as I agree, his drumming is technically great and even more so, his creativity is part of the GNR sound.

..this is Guns'N'Roses :D
It's good to see the initial band, Steven Adler on drums, Axl Rose and the whole group in general at their best, it's a great concert, I've wanted to see it for years.

Remember when MTV aired this, was my introduction to GNR. So raw and energetic, everyone firing on all cylinders

Amazing how well it sounded for back then, concerts these days can’t even get that sound most of the time. The best there was and ever will be for their genre.
GNR My favourite band ever!
Best Rock frontman ever.
And somehow found the best rhythm guitarist, lead guitarist and bassist along the way.
I feel guilty for not adding Adler as best drummer because the Devil got the better of him .
Also, the best cover and rendition of Dylan's knocking on heavens door .
"Appetite for destruction" is my favorie album!
pretty incredible how well the drums are dialed in for paradise city
As a non GNR fan, I'm very happy to have stumbled on this video. very informative comments here. thanks.
I like reading the comments too! And the ONLY song I like is "welcome to the jungle".
The raw, authentic intensity displayed by Axl combined with the band playing at an epic level made me a fan forever! This show made me a Gunner 4 life! Axl is the King! #GnFnR # 1 all time !!
AXL , SLASH AND DUFF THE BEST FOREVER BAND !! GNR I LOVE THEIR SOUND AND SONGS FOR OVER 35 YEARS !!❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊. AND COUNTING ❤❤❤❤...
Oh yeah this is that perfect sound, the whole band participates this is rock.
Is it just me or does Steven Adler’s drumming have an X-factor that no drummer since has equalled. He was a huge part of their classic sound!
He doesn't get enough credit. It just doesn't sound right without him. Or Matt Sorum.
His kit has a real low thick clear resonance to it. Sounds awesome. Not overly technical but non the less for quality or proviciancy.
Matt Sorum was more clinical, Steve Adler pure raw rock
Beatifful
Lindo
Not since the Rolling Stones of the late 60s to early 70s have we seen this pure expression of rock music. And we will never see it again.

Oh yes. Because when people think of The very greatest Rock and Roll bands, the first group that comes to mind is....Deep Purple. @@diffbreak2366

I don’t think there is any better video and audio that captures this band’s greatest performance than this show. They were 100% at the top of their game. Loose and just in the moment and Axle smiling you know it’s a good show.
Das war mir Abstand das beste Konzert von ihnen, das es auf UA-cam gibt! 🎸🤘❤️🔥
They may have been the ultimate Rock n’ Roll, Rock Band.
This show represents GNR at their absolute peak as a rock band. Before Axl’s ego exploded, and the money, drugs and fame eroded the fabric of the band. I saw GNR a few years later at The Ritz as they kicked off the Use Your Illusion tour and then again in 2021 on the We’re F*#kin’ Back tour. Glad to still have GNR around but this 1988 performance is how I like to remember the band.
You are 10000% correct. They are young, hungry, raw, unpredictable, original 5 and axl still has his voice! I aslo them during UYI tour in 92…I was a few years too young to make the AFD tour :-(
Yes. Rock n roll peaked in the wee hours of March 31, 1988 with GnR's performance of Used to Love Her on the Fox Late Show.
@@THEDISAFFECTEDgreat show you are referring to…thanks for reminding me of it, just watched it for the first time in many years. I also like their accoustic performance at CBGB’s.
This version of GNR will forever live in my heart and mind.
i can't watch them live currently anymore. it's not the same. axl's voice is gone. i've listened to them so much for 35 years that i know what his voice used to be and it hurts to hear live now.
I saw this on MTV back in 88. I love GNR!
If only I could time travel.
Glorious perfection all of them. ❤️
Really surprised how much easy was for Axl Rose, to change his voice tones, awesome
This lineup is mind blowing, life changing. Every member is a secret weapon. Everything after Lies was a different band and nothing to do with this in every way perfect Rock N’ Roll band.
I didn't even like Lies.
You are correct. The magic was lost after Steven was kicked out and the final nail in the coffin after Izzy left…
It's Geffen's fault. He let them grow too fast and they exploded.
Constant sold out stadium tours since coming back with Slash and Duff i don't think is dead in a nailed coffin.....they just played San Antonio Tuesday night to 50,000 fans and I was there and it was incredible. 3 and half hours set!!!
Slash Duff and axl have not written a song to together since 1991. They are still great live and I’ve seen them twice (including last month) since Axl reunited with Slash/Duff, but they are unfortunately a nostalgia act.
This has to be one of Axl's best live vocal performances. Both him and the band are on fire!
Before Axel’s narcissistic behavior took hold. GNR greatest live performance. Even Slash sounded great.
@@TowGunner I agree. It seemed so strange seeing him going into the audience and connecting with his fan's. That sure didn't last long. I saw a comment that compared Axle to Jani and in my opinion their was no comparison. No one connected to his fan's like Jani and as far as vocals went although I loved GnR in the day Axle was tone deaf he just really knew how to use his voice.
If this is their best, they are not a very good live band. Honestly, the vocals are mid at best, and I like GNR.
@@fenixdown2396 To each their own.
@@fenixdown2396they are not Rush, no need to nail every note. Believe it or not, in 1988 they were THE shit.
The quality of the sound is gold!
The original and best line up ever.
The band is erupting, exploding!
Best drummer ever.
too bad the booze cout him
@@torehellberg8074 not only the booze, bro!
@@torehellberg8074 More the H than the booze.
Lo vi por primera vez a los 17... ya tengo 51 verese concierto me hace regresar a esas epocas. Buenos recuerdos.
Hell Yeah!! Thank you for posting this EPIC Show with such great quality:-)
GUNS N' ROSES FOREVER!
Greatest fucking rock band in the history of rock bands and there will never be another
for me the best guns n roses concert ever
Lindo Axl! 😮❤
Still the most real metal punk country soul band ever! They had it all and Axl was an amazing performer! Slash Izz Duff Steve Adler these guys are amazing!!!
IT IS ROCK NOT METAL OR PUNK
All 3@@evelaszlo96
Nothing Punk about them. Basically just glam rock with a harder edge
Hard Rock
lol metal punk country soul!
May be one of the baddest best concerts EVER right here
The boys were so bad ass they won music awards in 1990 for the 1987 release of Appetite for destruction. I watched them win the award live and said that was truly awesome. I really like the way the band smiles when they were on stage. They don't smile as much now, i saw them twice last year in 2023. The music was great, but 35 years has put a strain on Axel voice. At least we have these videos to remind us how great they were in thier prime, its hard to beat the original line up. Axel doesn't hammer the air to the beat of the drum no more, i missed his enthusiasm. Still all in all they were the only band i saw twice last year, which says a lot since i watched, AC
DC, Metallica, Tool, Judas priest, iron maiden, last year live. GNR was still the only band worth seeing twice in one year. Last year they played 3.5 hour sets, easily got your moneys worth. This one hour set is still priceless.
I’m very excited to see Steve's energy, technique and joy when playing the drums is not compared to any drummer that has gone through Gnr!
He and his smile are incomparable❤
I noticed the same thing. So sad, but like a bunch of other famous rock'n'roll drummers the lifestyle caught up to him.
His smille is for the cocaina always
he loved drumming more than any drummer I've witnessed
Guns n' Roses emerged when everyone thought that glam metal was dying. They were the saviors of rock n' roll. This was the Guns that conquered the world. They were wild, hedonistic, tight, and amazingly creative. The biggest rock n roll band back then. The world will always remember this!
anyone who thinks of GnR as "death metal" 🤣@@divinelightshine
glam metal was dying. GNR was not glam metal. They were the transition from hair bands/glam rock to Alternative/grunge. They were really their own thing.
Agree, in peak form here!
Initially GnR did have the Glam/Sun Set Strip look. Lucky they shed off that look fairly quickly and evolved.
They emerged before it died. Then Nirvana came out and byeeeeee
Master of piece
well they made it and still alive and rocking 45yrs later!!!
Ive never saw them in concert. This is the first show I’ve saw tbh. Axle is a killer front man.
I would love to see a live album from this era!
There was a time back in the 80s when all the new bands looked and sounded identical...snd becaus of this, the genre was killing itself. Then...Guns N Roses came on the scene with one of the best debut albums ever and made it exciting again!
I like it , GNR is Great rock music in the world, you will find your self in this song, to be better and better ,,,
30 years listening to these guys and they rock like the first day ... one of the greatest bands of all time ... PERIOD.
Guns N'Roses is amazing, very cool, this show was fantastic, very important for their career, it was what promoted them internationally. 🇧🇷🇺🇸🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘
These guys were just as important to the music scene of the 80's as Grunge was to the 90's. Truly epic
They were all soooo young here!! You can hear how raw Axl's voice still was, def matured a bit later on...he has always been such a presence on a stage!
The best band ...!!!!!
I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
What set Axl from the rest is he didn't try to imitate or look like his idol. He just went out and be himself and go crazy. Fans love it and GNR got big!
The Best concert of Guns💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
This gig is where every previous rock band aspired to & every band after didn’t entirely understand.
The pinnacle of rock music, saw it on mtv when I was 14 years old, still can’t stop watching it.
I remember like it was yesterday, 1987, sitting on the couch at my girlfriend’s house and the debut of Welcome to the Jungle came on MTV. I turned to her and said, this is going to be huge!
Watching Steven Adler enjoy himself playing the drums was the reason I picked up learning the drums!
Em 1991 eu assistia esse show toda semana em uma fita VHS ! Simplesmente fantástico!
Io ho c'ero..a questo tour e anche a quello successivo😍😍😍😍🤟🤟🤟sempre sotto il palco..praticamente avevo Axl cosi vicino che potevo toccarlo sopratutto fargli rivolgere lo sguardo verso di noi...sono andata sempre con la mia amica fissata e innamorata ci questa Meravigliosa rockband!!!!
E li AMO anche ora...nonostante gli anni sono sempre...i migliori al mondo ❤❤❤ tra i giovani di adesso..non ho ancora notato nessuna band o personaggi che un mimimo si avvicina a loro...ancora nessunooooo...!!!
Cara sou fãzasso do Guns, gravei esse show q passou pela primeira vez na Manchete acho q em 1989 no VHS e assisti umas mil vezes
Man, this concert just blows my mind. I had seen it many times before but it is truly amazing. THAT Sweet Child O Mine guitar solo executed to utter perfection.
Agreed!!!!
I wouldn't say it's played to perfection... the fast bridge part, where the wah kicks in, sounds actually quite bad... but it's quite raw, I will give it that
Now the Japan 92 solo... that we could say was perfect
@@anibalmax1981 Yes you are correct. Considering how stoned Slash usually was in those early days, it’s a wonder he was able to still play as he did. Lol
