- ±13 "GET IN THE RING MOTHERF**KER"
-
- ±11The concert was held in Oslo, Norway
- June 10th, 1993. A really terrible
- intro-band warmed up the audience
- from about 13:00. It was a group
- called "Sister Rain". After this
- disappointment yet another group
- entered the stage at about 16:00. It
- was Suicidal Tendences, which I
- didn't like at all.
-
- Gn'R were supposed to enter the stage
- at approx. 19:00, but they didn't
- untill 20:15. As always they started
- with the great tune called "Outta Get
- Me". Later on they played through
- most of their wellknown tunes. I can
- mention some of them: Welcome To The
- Jungle, Mr.Brownstone, Live And Let
- Die, Bad Obsession, Double Talkin'
- Jive, Sweet Child O'Mine, It's So
- Easy, Yesterdays, Knockin' On
- Heaven's Door, You Could Be Mine, So
- Fine, I Used To Love Her etc. The
- only songs I really missed was Civil
- War, Locomotive and Don't Cry!
-
- Slash played a really great
- guitarsolo on his Gibson-el.guitar.
- It lasted for nearly 10 minutes and
- was absolutely great!
-
- For me, one of the highlights was
- when Matt Sorum played a really
- powerful drumsolo. Because his
- forefathers came from Norway he had
- attached a pair of norwegian flags on
- the drums. When he was finnished he
- threw the drumsticks to the wild
- audience.
-
- In the middle of the concert they
- swapped from el. equipment to pure
- aqoustic-sound. It was great, they
- played many tunes which orginally is
- el.played. While they played
- aqoustic they sat on an old sofa.
- Suddenly a pizza-delivery man served
- them pizza! When Axl Rose had some
- brakes, he played flipper on each
- side of the stage! Another highlight
- was when they played Duff McKagan's
- "Attitude", a punksong.
-
- The only disappointment at this
- concert was the poor introduction
- bands and the fact that the concert
- only lasted for about 2 hours! I
- know that Gn'R will play a lot of
- other places in Europe this summer,
- and I can only say: Attend this
- great concert, it's worth it...ç
