what happened?
On the weekend here in Oz, my favourite TV show RAGE played Pearl Jam, RATM, Sound Garden, Audioslave , Midnight Oil and Guns n Roses film clips all night. I woke up about 3 am and started taping and caught the GNR set. I lost it at one stage, I was bopping around mum's lounge room with headphones and no sound in the room and then realised she has lace curtains. I seriously hope no one was watching. Paradise City really got me going. I'd forgotten about Axl's perm-phase..egad!!
My neice was a HUGE Axl fan back in the day..she lived in Doc Martins and what I affectionately call " Axl Rose bike shorts" Those were the days...she got to see them at the Big Day Out in Sydney.
I left the tape run and collected the whole Midnight Oil set and the tape just ran out as my new fave artist , Daniel Johns sang his beautiful song...he is so complex and sweet and talented.
What a shame for the GNR fans who missed out. They are a fond part of my musical memory. My bro-in -law once told me to "SHUDDUP!!" something he had never done before( it musta been bad) I'll never forget that. I was singing along to Sweet Child O' Mine with the headphones on. I haven't forgotten..I hope he has
the grass is green and the girls are pretty...........
