It's 17 years already and Guns n' Roses still have it
Never really found out why this bunch of punks always worked so well with me.
Ever since I heard the first tones as a kid I knew I gotta get that record, ever since I got the first "Use Your Illusion I" tape 17 years ago and listened to that on an old tape recorder, I don't remember I would ever not enjoy listening to that.
It was something that just felt like totally natural to listen to, remember I was also reading all the lyrics hungry to understand, with 2 years of English classes at that time.
Now I listen to the same thing again after years and it still has it (although yeah it's Appetite for Destruction that really is their best record and some of the most significant piece of rock of the 80's if not ever)
Well I ain't the introverted kid with silly long hair and a trademark denim jacket anymore, I guess some music was the very background to all the ups and downs of a juvenile life, that's probably what makes it still so enjoyable to listen to.
It seems like I somehow grew older, but I still feel the kid inside, once I hear the right bands or tunes.
