songs, we were LISTENING to old songs. It wasn't the time when they came out...
> 1.Bon Jovi "Always"
Don't really know it.
> 2.Journey "Open Arms"
5th grade... me and this other kid being the only ones in school to solve the
Rubiks Cube in lightening speed
> 3.Aerosmith "Dream On"
7th grade. Hanging out on "The Corner" in middle school... smokin' cigarettes
and skipping school.
> 4.Def Leppard "Love Bites"
Yes. But no memories in particular,
> 5.Guns N' Roses "Don't Cry"
1991... age 21... Thinking of Susie, "that life sucking bitch for which there
is no Escape" (Armageddon)
> 6.Poison "Every Rose Has Its Thorn"
1989 New Orleans. Sluts everywhere... getting my dick sucked outside of a Metal
club called "Dino's." 25 cent draft beers... we called it "Quarter Water"
night.
> 7.Extreme "More Than Words"
1993 in New York City... my brother and his friend Ari covering that song with
perfection.
> 8.Skid Row "I Remember You"
New Orleans again... 1989, thinking of the life sucking bitch again.
> 9.Heart "Alone"
Don't really recall that one either.
> 10.Warrant "Heaven"
Another I can't recall.
> 11.Van Halen "When It's Love"
Can't recall the year I was hearing it. But I DO recall thinking, "Where the
fuck is Dave!?"
> 12.The Scorprions "Still Loving You"
Same time as above in middle school hanging out on "The Corner"
> 13.Kiss "Forever"
Can't place that one either.
> 14.Mr. Big "To Be With You"
Another New York 1993'ish... again my brother and Ari covering that one with
perfection. Ari was a good singer.
> 15.Styx "Babe"
Elementary school... no "Babe" to think about yet. I think I was starting to
use the Apple IIC computer with that Rubik's Cube friend.
> 16.Tesla "Love Song"
Don't know it,
> 17.Motley Crue "Home Sweet Home"
More New Orleans.
> 18.Cheap Trick "The Flame"
Don't know it.
> 19.Night Ranger "Sister Christian"
More New Orleans
> 20.Whitesnake "Is This Love"
Don't know it.

They probably just didn't want 2 songs by the same band. And Sweet Child always
gets so much attention anyway, it was good to see another (better) song get the
spotlight for once. Everybody always wants to pretend Appetite was the better
album and all of GNR's good songs (except Patience and Nov. Rain) are on there,
but the Use Your Illusion set shows such maturity and is far better than
Appetite. Appetite's great, but UYI is near-perfect.
Eric Matsuda
Every song on the list is AWESOME Except maybe the Van Hagar tune. I'd
say I got into most of these songs within the last four years. The only
ones I remember from when they came out were Always, To Be With You, More
Than Words and Don't Cry. And of course I knew Dream On for a while, that
should've been #1. The Journey song, I might have heard Mariah Carey's
version first...

into the band from Germany so much,(the Scorpions)One of my X's was a big
Journey fan,I liked them too.Every one of those songs on your list brings
back memories of being young,I saw"Skid Row" open for GunsN'Roses in 91',I
saw Aerosmith when I was like 12,I went with my older stepbrother,I
saw"Cheap Trick"when I was about 14.Shit,thanks for making that list...so
many good memories.

Wow, you sure went to an awful lot of concerts!
up to now, the only show I went to that you might actually have heard of is
the Slash's Snakepit-AC/DC one in Montréal...
If I had more money or if I didn't live so far from the metropole, I might
have seen more...
The songs I know out of that list are Always, Dream On, Don't Cry, Every
Rose Has Its Thorns (Beurk!), I Remember You, Heaven and Is This Love...

row,(at the L.A. Forum).I really don't think,(myself)that I've been to a lot
of concerts,because the ones I went to before GN'R concerts were just to say
that I went,(do you know what I mean?)Except for Pink Floyd.I saw them when
I was 15 too,but I went because I really wanted to see them.
I've seen GN'R 4 times at concerts and I was invited to a little club in
L.A. to see them,(aj.was going to fly out to L.A.to go with me but he
couldn't make it because he had taken so much time off of work to see
GN'R).Oh I tried to get Pam to go with me,but her husband didn't trust us
together,so I just didn't go.I didn't want to go by myself,I really
should've because afterwards I heard it was a"fucking blast"!I've only seen
one band since my last GN'R concert in 93'at Sacramento,and that was
Rush,man they're fucking amazing.
Power Ballads,I really like that song Ozzy and Lita Ford did
together(Close Your Eyes).They sound good together.

A lot of them are pretty hard to forget, in the same way being savagely
beaten by a pigmy cannibal would be hard to forget.

The bands that put out these songs should all be tried in front of the UN
War Crimes Tribunal after they're finished with that guy from Serbia, as
making people listen to them is obviously a crime against humanity.

Ki$$ defintaley needs to be charged with crimes against humanity, god I hate
that band. I would rather listen to any of the songs above, except #13, then
any shitty song by Ki$$. Did I mention I hate that band.

It still amazes me that a band so totally inept at writing music could get
as huge as Kiss did. There were a lot of groups in the 1980's who were close
to being as bad, but few ever quite got that far.

Yes, I had an mp3 of that, very cool duet and the song is nice :)
Probably one of the only Ozzy song that lyrics aren't about drug abuse! ;P
Well, I went to my first concert when I was 16 or maybe I'd just turned 17,
I don't the exact date it was...RAT, what was the date, already? (I went
with him and Brainless314). Anyways, it was my first concert except for
Karma's (Karma is a local band and their drummer was in the same dance troup
as me, his sister was in my class and he was in my sister's and their
saxophonist gave my sister lift to and from college. They're awesome, too
bad they only do covers!!!)

Madman,"I like the songs"Crazy Train"and "Mr.Crowley,"(that's a pretty dark
song)though,they're from"Blizzard Of Ozz"I can't believe you don't like Ozzy
because most of his songs are about drug abuse,and "GunsN'Rose's did no
songs about alcohol or drug abuse",that's pretty funny..........
There is a record store out here called"Karma",I don't know where else
there are"Karma"record stores,is that where they got their name?They're
going to have to probably change their name if they ever write their own
material and get big,even if they didn't get their name from a record store
in the states,the courts will still see it as"copyright infringement".

You cant just copyright a well used word like karma! ...if they did, there'd
be about 500 million pissed off Buddhists!

Stacey, When did I ever say I don't like Ozzy?!? I didn't, I just compared
that song to his others... He's a very dark guy, but I somehow feel
connected to him because he became friends with the guy who bullied him in
school (Sabbath's guitarist, Tommy Iomi) like I did... I just don't know
what drives us to do that, but tending the other cheek can sometimes
advantage us... They took their name from the religion class, I suppose,
because we learn about catholicism and bouddhism and hindouism and all..
Interesting course... I suppose the took that name because it means "fate"
and "fates" were always inspiring for musicians...Sometimes, when they don't
have their female singer, they introduce themselves as "In Voice +".

I'm going to see Slash next tuesday, two days after I see Matt with the Cult,
hopefully Rod won't bother me as much as he did when I saw them open for AC/DC.
I think this show will be tons better because it will be all Slash fans in a
smaller venue so Rod won't have to try and win over a couple thousand people who
are pissed that Ac/Dc isn't playing yet.

Yes, AC/DC had the soundsystem adjusted for their song, but not for
Snakepit's... I think the only song that wasn't so bad was Shine... It's
about the only song I remembered when I got out that night...Except for
wondering why AC/DC started with "You Shook Me All Night Long" and ended
with "For Those About To Rock, We Salute You"... Had it been for me, I would
have switched them, it would have made more sense...

made more sense for them to switch those 2 songs.AC/DC is so cool to watch
on stage,Angus climbs up on everything on the stage.
I also like to watch Slash run around on stage when he plays,but I kept
expecting to hear Axl's voice.After hearing Rod sing,I just can't imagine
him even sounding a little bit better,"I'm tellin' ya,he just sucks!"

appear to have done) you can copyright the word karma. Just out of interest
there is an artist called Fish Karma who has done some really good stuff
like '(she likes to make love) to Led Zeppelin' and 'Good Advice'. He has a
very strange voice.....

They rocked, had the crowd on side with no support and only played one GN'R
cover. They were a really tight act.....
