Axl Rose - Right Bass guitar - Wrong 1987 - Right Not sure - Wrong 1985 - Right 3/5
AS someone into a lot of hard rock and metal, Guns N&rsquo; Roses was a band I grew up listening to. It was one of the most popular bands of their generation. This is my one great opportunity to see them live. Although, Axl and Slash have visited in the past, it is not the same as having all of them play together.
The music, particularly the old albums, still resonates with me. I have most of their albums on CDs Yes, some of us still have CDs [laughs]. From Appetite for Destruction, Use Your Illusion I and II, although I was not too keen on the Spaghetti Incident. Chinese Democracy is good but it is not their best.
An open-air concert in Mumbai in May is never too enticing. But a GnR concert with Slash, Duff Mckagan together is an opportunity I could not miss.
My GnR picks . Used to love her . You could be mine . Nightrain . Rocket Queen . Mr Brownstone . Yesterdays

Axl Rose - Right Rhythm guitar - Right Not sure - Wrong Sweet Child O&rsquo;Mine - Right 1985 - Right 4/5&nbsp;
MY first initiation into Guns N&rsquo; Roses was during my college days. We had a band at the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Andheri, and had just roped in a new guitarist. We would listen to rock, but were more Hotel California than hard rock. He [the guitarist] introduced us to Slash&rsquo;s wild Sweet Child O&rsquo; Mine solo, and we were blown away. I liked the crunch in Axl [Rose&rsquo;s] voice, a la BB King. I tried modelling my voice around it, exploring high octaves.
I always thought they were far ahead of their time. My favourite remains Appetite for Destruction. I think it was one of those pure music moments. Chinese Democracy and Use your Illusion are better produced, but this one had every member going all out. Though I am not big on concerts, I secured my tickets for this one the minute they were released.
My GnR picks . This I love . Chinese Democracy . 14 years . Estranged . Locomotive . Prostitute . Coma
<h2>Also Catch</h2>
A rare listening session brings the authentic vinyl sounds of the band&rsquo;s iconic 1987 album, Appetite for Destruction, plus a fun voting for your favourite album in the lead up to the concert.
