Not in this lifetime!
I know this all sounds very happy, so in case you were wondering what was it about...
This is the name of the new Guns n' Roses Tour. THE GUNS N' ROSES REUNION TOUR.
I guess this must be old news by now, but they appeared in Mexico City and IT WAS JUST SO AMAZING!
I mean, my LiveJournal has been around for a long time and now I really haven't been writing fic and haven't updated in a long time, but back then when I started my very first fic was a Guns N' Roses/Nirvana one. And when I finished it it all ended in a nostalgic note, hoping one day they would reunite and that Axl would go back to Slash (they're so OTP to me) but everything seemed to say that it wouldn't happen. Whenever media asked about a reunion, Slash would say "Not in this lifetime".
AND IT HAPPENED.
It was a bit sad that Axl Rose had broken his leg at the previous Coachella shows (guess he went to far with the "break a leg" thing). He showed up with a cast and sang sitting down, so band interaction was very limited. But both Slash and Duff seemed perfectly at home and they even did some Chinese Democracy songs, which, for me, is an indication that there's no bad blood. And when they gave their final bows to the audience Axl, on crutches, stood next to Slash! <3
Plus, the concert was awesome. They played all the great hits, the ballads that made me cry and they even had time for some covers. Their version of The Who's "The Seeker" was damn right rocking and Duff played Misfits's "Attitude" and Johnny Thunders's "You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory" (though, to be honest, that concert seemed to contradict such sentence) which is such a beautiful, heartbreaking song. And mind you, Mr. McKagan looked HOT.
As you can see, I'm still going insane about the concert. I wrote a chronicle for the website of the radio station I work in. It's in Spanish, but the pictures (not mine) are awesome and I think they help to feel the vibe and the excitement this reunion caused. http://distopia.mx/gunsencdmx/
As a fan, I loved to see Guns n' Roses challenging what they had themselves deemed impossible. As a fanfic writer, I loved seeing my OTP "giving themselves a second chance" (in my mind, lol. But this concert was the equivalent). And as the romantic I am, I couldn't help feeling that, even when you think something's not going to happen, when you've given up on someone or something, it might happen, and it might surprise you and everyone around you and leave an everlasting impression.
Just, so, so happy.
