When I was 18 I went to see Guns & Roses at Wembley Stadium, leaving my brand new (1 week) boyfriend to strip the wallpaper in my bedroom. Obviously I'd bought the GnR tickets before we were together, but he wouldn't let me cancel them to get on with the bedroom (which was urgent as I was moving out), instead volunteering to do it himself. Bless.

It was a hot day, and we stopped for a couple of pints en route. Thanks to me being me, we were there ridiculously early of course, and got good seats in the stands. Slap bang up against the VIP area as it turns out.

A few more pints as we watched the support and waited for the main act. I don't remember an awful lot, just that they were showing The Evil Dead on the big screens, and I was deliberately not watching it, as I had it confused with a video nasty and was still quite squeamish in those days.

Just before GnR came on, my friend who was quite a bit more forward than me, started chatting up some of the guys in the VIP area next to us. They were really old - like in their 30s or something, but seemed to be amused by her. So after a while they passed us some champagne over. And then a couple of joints. I fell asleep about 20 minutes into the set, and was only woken up at the end.

A good time was had by all! Except of course my new bf, who botched the job and I didn't get my deposit back when I moved out.
