mymichele's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the Axl story Today, I tell you why I'm not destined to ever be truly happy.
Why is that, you ask? Because I don't think I'm destined to ever see Guns N Roses live.
First of all, the only remaining member of the original band is Axl. Well, that doesn't matter. He's the only one that I really care about anyway. When I turned 13 years old in 1992, Use Your Illusion 1 and 2 came out, and my life was forever changed. I have ever since then lusted for Axl like I have never lusted before.
My obsession comes in waves. Sometimes it's more intense and sometimes I barely notice. But that's not the story I'm here to tell today.
There was once a concert. This concert contained the likes of Metallica, Faith No More, and Guns N Roses. I won tickets to this concert via the now defunct 99.1 Z Rock. But it was not to be. I was only 12, and therefore my mom wouldn't let me go. It was the most traumatic event of my life.
If that wasn't bad enough, in 1998 my boyfriend went to an Elton John concert. I was invited, but I decided to go to Austin instead. I was told when I got back that Axl was at this concert, and they dueted on "November Rain." Was he lieing because he knew this would drive me crazy? Who knows? But if I was there to see that, I could die a happy woman.
Picture it: December 31st, 2000. I was in Vegas for the first time, at the Luxor. I was only there for New Years, and then we traveled on to San Diego. It was at a casino there that I learned Guns N Roses played at Mandalay Bay in Vegas on New Years. I was devastated. It was another opportunity to see my passion, my love, and I didn't even know they were there. Sigh. Will I ever get to see them? Will I ever get to see my adolescent obsession, Axl Rose, up close? Will I stand in a throng of thousands of fans and pretend Axl is singing just to me?
