can still remember it. It was a Monday and it was typical day in September. I was at school watching the clock, it didn't seem to turn three at all.
Finally it was three o'clock. I went down to the record store and there they were!
The long awaited new GN'R albums! Use Your Illusion I and II. I bought them both as double LPs since I didn't have a CD player at the time. I went home, pulled the first
record out of its sleeve. It was a very cool moment. I listened through both albums and haven't stopped listening to them since....
Use Your Illusion I & II were released on the 16th of September 1991 in Europe and on the 17th of September in the US. The albums featured 30 songs.
Both albums went straight into number 1 and 2 in many charts. With these albums GN'R proved that they could play any type of rock.
UYI featured everything from ballads to punk-type songs. |
