Ahhhh, good ol GNR! Have Illusions I and II, and regularly play them. November Rain, Coma, Pretty Tied Up, Locamotive, and Get in the Ring, are some of my fave tunes.
Must say, Get in the Ring is a good way to introduce a new employee to a company hehehe, if they see the joke, great, if not, well, they sure as hell won't fit in
...and to all those opposed, hmmmm, well

Coincidentally dug Appetite out todat to decorate to, haven't listened to any GNR since buying this house, I'd forgotten just how good they were
I killed my MkII Golf GTi in an 80+ off to the sound of 'You Could Be Mine' about 10 years ago
Have tried to avoid listening to them in the car since

Saw them at:
Wembley: supported by Nine Inch Nails and Skid Row
Maine Road: supported by Soundgarden and Faith No More
Wembley: supported by Skid Row and another band that escapes me!
I have all the CD's up to UYI 1&2, and every picture disc single (up until You Could Be Mine), as well as very rare Japanese version of Appetite for Destruction, with banned sleeve and limited edition stickers!!
A big fan, but I'm waiting for W. Axel Rose to be found in a dead in a very rock and roll fashion so my collection will be worth a bit more!!
It was valued at over £200 about 10 years ago!!

i saw Mick wall on mtv fairly recently, i remember him from my heavy rock days, was always at maiden and marillion gigs (used to write the programs as well!).
Best part was for me the guy now has like no hair at all, call me odd but that seems poetic justice to me
someone mentioned skid row above, that was also a very cool band that self imploded, just thinking of others from the era i enjoyed and saw -
Marillion
Magnum
maiden
leppard
house of lords
dave lee roth
alice cooper
rush
kiss
ooo ive got an urge to dig out old cd's or go hunting thru kazaa hehehe

House of lords - still a regular of mine!! I've never met....er spoke to anyone who'd heard of them till now. I absolutely love their first album - 'under blue skies' and 'standing on the edge of your life'. I even have a signed 7in of slip of the tongue. Have their other stuff as well - infact they were supposed to be putting out a new album about now.

Yep another big GNR fan here. Also Skid Row and in those days were Thunder and Little Angels. Somehow I managed to mix those soft metal bands with stuff like Slayer and the old Metallica stuff
Class music and listened to loads of it today due to this thread, nice one

Wow....never knew anyone who had heard of House of Lords!! I was into rock. metal (esp technical bands like Dream Theater, Queensryche, Racer X etc) and especially AOR (Journey, Strangeways, Danger Danger etc) way back when!! hehe My g/f is going to see Bon Jovi and I just informed her I saw them in 1987 in Donnington! She was 10 at the time! lol
I am selling a lot of my old vinyl...quite a few autographed too (altho all my Steve Vai stuff stays with me!!) Who else do u guys remember?
Kerrang was THE mag at the time and it's a sad reflection of itself now when u look thru it!!
So much rock - so little hair Still like to buy rock albums now...can't believe how many of those bands are still doing the rounds!
I was into GNR way before they were big over here (and I am not gonna say I saw them at the Marquee - cos if everyone who has said that did go then the marquee must hold 20, 000!! lol )
I used to trade demos with guys in LA and they raved about GNR as well as Faster Pussycat and LA Guns etc....only GNR made it really big tho!
I could go on for hours...but I won't...lol

Hugely into guitar music PMAC - you mentioned Steve Vai. I have the laser glove he used in concert 2 yrs ago which cast beams over the audience when he did that ridiculous fast F*&(*&$*& fingering! If you have any artists (new) you are into, let me know - as Vinnie Moore, Satriani, Scott Mishoe and Stuart Hamm are pretty much all I like/know in the modern field right now...
Cheers
