FIRST TIME REACTING TO | GNR "KNOCKING ON HEAVEN'S DOOR"

You are awesome to watch, awesome song, awesome band and you are gorgeous with a smile that is contagious

At the Freddie Tribute they came out and played paradise city and then this song Britt. Axl came back out and sang Bohemian Rhapsody with Elton John and Queen and that’s an amazing performance too!! This tribute had to make Freddie smile😊😊

Tracy and Roberta are legends among GN'R fans, they get their due

You were right about the special FEEL of this concert. Context: This was the year after Freddie passed. HIV/AIDS was still a horrible thing that we still didn’t understand well, and had no cure. This concert was to benefit that cause. It brought out ALL the biggest names in rock & roll all onto the same stage, all to give tribute to Freddie. The remaining members of Queen would join these bands to play. The atmosphere was absolutely INCREDIBLE - full of mutual love and friendship and emotion. The energy was unparalleled. One of the greatest live music events EVER. The entire show was next level.

For a few short years GnR was as big as anyone who ever played. They would eventually implode and even when they got back together could never recapture those early years but boy they were magic for a while.

You sould check out November rain by them

You should watch Axl and Elton John singing Bohemian Rhapsody. The way Axl enters the stage is epic. I also wouldn't be me if I didn't mention what is widely considered the best performance of that concert, George Michael did Somebody To Love and KILLED it. Slash? Girl, we gonna have to share him. That is one gorgeous man.

I think what you described as feeling at your first break was Axl's presence as a front man. When he is on his game, he can control a show similar to Freddie. The band is real good and Slash gives them quality depth, but Axl is what separated these guys from the rest. Both his voice and his stage presence.

I was 12 when this show was on. Watched it live on television in Belgium. Taped it on the VCR and watched it a million times. Now 31 years later GNR is still the bist band for me

Brit, I've been to shows that big before. You can't fathom the amount of energy that many people can create. IIRC, this was during their "Use Your Illusion" tour. GNR were known to be "problematic" during live shows. I happened to catch them with Metallica in '92 at RFK Stadium, first show of the tour. While GNR delayed taking the stage, when they did, they rocked the place. My friends and I all got "General Admission" tickets, which placed us on the field. I still have the t-shirts I bought that night. It was an insane show. Wasn't my first "mosh pit", but it was my first time "crowd surfing". I was in my mid 20s at the time. Man..... those were the days!!

This is one of my favorite live performances of this song ❤ The hat usually falls off when he is running around on stage. 😊 I love that Axl shouts out Tracy and Roberta at live shows.

You are correct. It is a twin neck guitar. Top neck is a 12 string...and cleaner toned. When he goes for a distorted tone, the bottom 6 string neck is connected to the distortion effects. Slash is one of the best..for sure...

A really great Guns 'n Roses performance is Rocket Queen Live in Tokyo '92

I was lucky to be at this show. I'd seen Queen live with Freddie 4 times from 1980-1984. This Freddie tribute concert in 1992 was so packed full of many of the best rock and pop artists of the day. It was a helluva wait to get into the venue (the old Wembley stadium), but well worth it.

The first notes with the first words of Axel Rose was "Only Women Bleed" from Alice Cooper (on the "Welcome to my Nightmare album from 1975). And Knockin on Heavens Door ist from Bob Dylan!

Awesome reaction! You HAVE to do Don't Cry - Guns N' Roses live in Tokyo 1992 (probably their best live show ever - all the songs from it are great)

I was blessed enough to be their live, and from all the live performaces from this song Ive seen them do; this was one was truly celestial.

"Knockin' on Heaven's Door" is a song by singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, written for the soundtrack of the 1973 film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. Guns N' Roses had a big hit with the song.

GNR was an Amazing Band to see live
