1¶383¹STADIUM CONCERTS 3¹IN ISTANBUL a5by Orion/Miracle 91Well, well, well... They told me that they were coming a long time ago but I couldn't believe it. Axl, Slash, Matt, Duff, Dizzy and... Izzy! Yes. Izzy is back! Well, these were the headlines. Let's start...19Me and some friends went to the b"Inonu Stadium" 922 hours before the concert and we started to wait. It seemed to be so long... We drank beer during the night, sang songs from G N'R and sleeped for one or two hours. We woke up due to the sunshine... It was 7:00 am and we had to wait 14.5 hours more. Well, nothing was too much for Guns N'Roses. We laughed and had fun all day and then, at 4:00 pm the stadium's doors were open. We came in... We were on the 5th rank; we were close to the stage. 3 hours more and Brian May and The Brian May Band started to play. They sang about 10 songs in 1 hour. Then we restarted to wait. But these 1.5 hours were longer than the 20.5 hours we waited all day and all night. And... All lights were off! I said f"Shit, they had trouble with the lights."9. I just couldn't believe they could come and give a concert in the city I live. It was too good to be happened. 30 seconds later, lights ±c1were on and it was c"So Easy"9! Axl running from the right side of the stage to the left! 1I see your sister in a sunday dress 2She's out to please 3She pouts her best 4She's out to take 5No need to try 6She's ready to make 6It's so easy, easy 5When everybody's tryin' to please me 4It's so easy, easy baby 3When everybody's tryin' to please me 2Cars are crashin' every night 1I drink n'drive everything's in sight 1I make the fire 2But I miss the firefight 3I hit the bull's eye every night 4It's so easy, easy 5When everybody's tryin' to please me 6Yeah it's so easy, easy baby 6When everybody's tryin' to please me 5So easy 4But nothin' seems to please me 3It all fits so right 2When I fade into the night 1See me hit you 1You fall down, huh! 2I see you standin' there 3You think you're so cool 4Why don't you just...

I couldn't believe my eyes! Great and so fuckin' cool... Then a stunning show of 2.5 hours. They sang 18 songs: (in no order of course) dFrom "Appetite for Destruction" bWelcome to the Jungle It's so Easy Mr Brownstone Paradise City Sweet Child o'Mine dFrom "G N'R Lies" bPatience Used to Love Her You're Crazy dFrom "Use Your Illusion" Vol.1 bLive and Let Die Don't Cry You Ain't the First Double Talkin' Jive November Rain Dead Horse dFrom "Use Your Illusion" Vol.2 bYesterdays Knockin' on Heaven's Door You Could Be Mine 9and an extra song sang by Duff... And... It was over. The Guns N'Roses c"Get in the Ring Mother Fxxxer" 9World Tour Istanbul Concert on May 26th, 1993. Then, I month later (June, 25th. 1993) Metallica gave a fabulous concert with a superb show of two hours and a half. It was really great, too. They sang the following songs: (in no order of course) dFrom "Ride the Lightning" bFight fire with fire Ride the lightning For whom the bell tolls bFade to black Escape Creeping death dFrom "Master of Puppets" bBattery Master of puppets The thing that should not be Sanitarium Disposable Heroes Damage Inc. dFrom "...And Justice for All" b...And justice for all One Harvester on sorrow To live is to die dFrom "Metallica 91" bEnter sandman Sad but true The Unforgiven Nothing else matters Of wolf and man 9and two more I can't remember. After this, Sting and Elton John came for giving concerts but I didn't go to them as I don't like them except 2 or 3 songs. And finally Bon Jovi came some days ago (September 13th., 1993) for a concert, too. It was too short (about 100 min.) but cool anyway. They sang the following songs: (in no order of course) dFrom "7800 Fahrenheit" bRunaway dFrom "Slippery When Wet" bYou give love a bad name Livin' on a prayer Wanted dead or alive I'd die for you dFrom "New Jersey" bLay your hands on me Bad medicine Born to be my baby dFrom "Keep the Faith" bI believe Keep the faith I'll sleep when I'm dead In these arms Bed of roses dFrom "Blaze of Glory" bBlaze of glory 9and in a few days Scorpions will come. If you didn't go to any stadium concert I advise you to do it. It's a great atmosphere...×
