RoXy’s Rock Rewind

IT WAS 30 YEARS AGO TONIGHT WHEN THE HARD ROCKERS GUNS N ROSES ENDED A 2 AND A HALF YEAR TOUR. THE USE YOUR ILLUSION TOUR CAME TO AN END IN BUENOS AIRES AT RIVER PLATE STADIUM  IN FRONT OF 80 THOUSAND PEOPLE. IT WASN’T JUST THE BAND’S LONGEST TOUR, BUT ALSO ONE OF THE LONGEST TOURS IN ROCK HISTORY AT THE TIME WITH 194 SHOWS IN 27 COUNTRIES…IT WAS A BIT OF A CLUSTER AS WELL…LATE STARTS, CANCELLATIONS AND ON STAGE RANTS FROM FRONT MAN AXL ROSE. IT WAS ALSO THE LAST TIME AXL AND SAUL HUDSON SHARED A STAGE TIL 2016…SAUL HUDSON IS SLASH…HUH…WONDER WHY HE DIDN’T GO BY SAUL? I DIGRESS…IT TOOK OVER 20 YEARS FOR THE BANDMATES TO RECONCILE, BUT THEY DID AND THAT IS VERY ADULT OF THEM…SEEMS THEY DECIDED TO LIVE AND LET LIVE…OR DIE? GUNS N ROSES COVER OF PAUL MCCARTNEY’S BAND WINGS SINGLE OFF GNR’S ALBUM USE YOUR ILLUSION…THE FIRST ONE…
