I drank beer with axel rose, Shannon Hoon and John Mellencamp at a musical festival in Bloomington Indiana in 1993. Best day of my life other than my kids being born

[@fredbarnes2049]

That is so cool. Just plain n wow. High five

[@bgdream24]

awesome u wanna elaborate?!

[@kevinhechinger7843]

So I was dating a young lady who's brother was in a band with Shannon before blind melon. My girlfriend brother asked us if we wanted to go to a winery called Oliver's before a big music festival a little further south in Bloomington. Long story short, Shannon was with him at the winery!! We had some wine tasting and cheese and then we all went to the concert together and had a blast. A little before it was over, Shannon gets a message from a rodey for John Mellencamp who was working for one of the bands. The message...... do you want to come to Lake Monroe to John's house for an after party. Apparently John and axel were either back stage at the concert or observing in cognito. So of course we tagged along, because we'll who wouldn't and John said it would be OK. Elaine Irwin who was John's wife at the time told the security to let us through the gate. Next thing I know I'm in a room with these 3 incredible musicians and quite a few more people. I'm not going to exaggerate and say that we became best friends, but they did know my name within the hour or so being in their immediate presence. I'm guessing there were some other famous people there that night but my full attention was with the fact that I was sitting within 10 feet of these 3 guys, who I absolutely loved, and felt like I was part of their inner circle. John actuality gave me tickets to the Hoosier basketball game against Purdue for the following winter. I think it was January or February 94. John actually had his own little personal space at assembly hall, so we met him in that room before the game for a few minutes and went on our way. Needless to say I cherish every minute I spent that day and could almost recite the entire encounter. Thanks for asking me to relive this and share my story.

[@fredbarnes2049]

@@kevinhechinger7843 Well a fellow Hoosier! When I was at Purdue I lived on the edge of Axl's old neighborhood. I met several people who knew him,even a family member but never met the man himself. I kinda envy you!

[@kevinhechinger7843]

@@fredbarnes2049 My girlfriend's brother was obviously pretty close to Shannon. I was around him a few times but he would have some wild stories of hanging with GNR learning the ropes.... Unfortunately Shannon learned a little too much. RIP to him I had a friend at PU at the time and he was friends of a friend kind of deal with axel. They were obviously a little older than us so they had moved on from Lafayette by then, so the party was my only interaction with him. BTW my girlfriend was a Boiler Babe lol

[@mikenastasi8927]

Axl doesn't get the recognition he deserves as a vocalist. He's got a 6 octave range like Freddie Mercury. Mariah Carey is 7. The guy can sing. I saw GNR 3 yrs ago. One of the best shows I saw. Took my 18 yr old son to see them Madison Square Garden. Started on time. Played 3 1/2 hrs. No breaks, no rants. Only time Axl spoke to the audience was to introduce the band.

[@richardhart5612]

I saw them with Bodycount and Metallica in the early 90's. Axl's voice was dead.

I remember going to rock concerts like this and being amazed at just the physical energy these guys go through night after night on tour. Keeping that energy up and giving everything you have to thousands of people has to be grueling. Being a rockstar is crazy hard work.

This is their performance (they also played : Paradise City) at the prodigious " FREDDY MERCURY TRIBUTE ". The cover of this song by Eric Clapton is different but damn good. ;)

Its a Bob Dylan cover. Clapton also covered it, but he was in no way the original artist.

[@frenchnomaamer1909]

@@steveclarkreborn Sorry for my english, but i thought the cover meant " sing another artist ". (Should I' ve written : the other cover by EC ?) I know Bob Dylan did the original. But this is one of the few songs that I prefer covers ( Clapton, GN'R ) than the original. ;)

[@pawpawmark1872]

Love the Atlanta Braves World Series hat. Led Zeppelin led the way for Guns N Roses. Hard to compare the 2. Both are in that rare stratosphere of the top Rock bands of all time.

Slash doesn’t stop for no one. Michael Jackson couldn’t get him to stop either. You gotta see that video, where Slash plays with MJ.

[@SEKreiver]

My favorite version is still the '88 show at the Ritz. Really powerful, especially with Axl's intro.

[@JohnHazelwood58]

This performance was recorded at the "Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert" in 1992. As I was in the audience that day, it was the first time in my life that I ever heard of GNR. Didn't knew this band before, but they rocked it. Loved that show and sound a lot and bought all GNR records after that! :-) So actually it's not a GNR-fan-audience, but a Queen-audience give all they can. That's why Axl said before the audience sang the last part: "Let's make this one reach to heaven!" (to Freddie Mercury). And you can see that the people are wearing Freddie- and Queen-Shirts as well.

[@OblivionGate]

Metallica did an awesome set too!

[@JohnHazelwood58]

@@OblivionGate everyone did an amazing set! "extreme" was really fun as they played a queen-meldey ... the audience loved it and had fun. it was also the first time i heard bob geldof. he performed there as well and i am not sure if it is even on the dvd. "too late god" was really fun! *clapping_along but, yeah! metallica was amazing!

[@mikeysan01]

The guitarist you were fascinated by is Slash...half black, half Jewish...and completely amazing. Especially when one considers there's an 85% chance he was hammer-drunk, high as a kite, or both when he was up there playing! The singer is Axl Rose...saw an interview where a music industry expert said something like, "Axl is legit crazy...as in, legit. But, he's an absolute genius!!!" :)

Axel Rose (lead singer)and even Slash says Eddie Van Halen (R.I.P) Eddie is the goat!! He has like 3 patents for guitar stuff. He didn't have the money so he would find used stuff at guitar stores or pawn shops and made his guitar & some other things. If you get the chance watch it. Man this month they've done, Pink Floyd, led Zeppelin, Van Halen, etc.. They've done so many I can't remember all of them!!

GNR is one of the greatest bands of all time in my opinion and people may disagree. I think they paved the way between 80s hair band and 90s grunge. And you may not know this, but Axl Rose sings at the upper echelon of singers!
