One of those shows where you just had to be there. Pretty legendary night. Good quote of the night ” You’re packed in like sardines”. To this day, i still don’t know exactly what happenedĀ at the end of “Paradise City”, but whatever it was, it pissed off Axl : ” Fuck face ! Just for that you can suck on the encore ! “. Sure enough, they didn’t come back on for an encore. I think this might have been the shortest show they played on the UK tour š Actually, when they’d finished, loads of people just stayed there. They played WASP Wild Child over the PA & people were still shouting for Guns. We expected to get em back, but didn’t ;-(

This was pretty mad. Most certainly was a different kind of a crowd. At the time, i hate to confess, i laughed at them. I could never get into the 1st album “Show No Mercy”. But i subsequently loved Reign In Blood &Ā South Of Heaven. Lets just say I was just a bit slow on the uptake to start off…
Many years later, i managed to find a CD of the Rock city gig…
