"GUNS AND ROSES CONCERT"
             I went to see Guns and Roses in the fall of 2002, and it was truly an event of sensory overload. I felt inspired by their music in every aspect possible and the level of sound was through the ceiling. Throughout my seventeen years I have seen quite a few concerts but this was by far the best concert I have ever seen.
             It was a usual Sunday morning outside for everyone else, but for me it was one of the best days of my life. Just a few days prior my friend, Greg Heaven, had received an extra pair of tickets off the Internet. I was lucky enough to have him as a good friend and be able to buy these great floor seats from him for half the ticket price. We decided to leave for Cleveland around 4 o'clock, three hours before the concert even started. I got stuck sitting in the backseat for an hour and a half. This was the most eagerness I've ever had to experience in the back of a car. I spent the whole time listening to Guns and Roses blasting on the stereo system and contemplating whether Axle Rose still had what it takes to play rock and roll music.
             As we entered Cleveland there were sings with the bands name everywhere and plenty of places to park being that we were 2 hours early.
             An old man motioned with his arms where to park, as the vehicle came to a stop. My friends and I got out of the car and looked around to check out
             the city. My friends and I decided that it would be fun to take a walk around the city to pass time. As I walked around there were many scalpers asking if we had tickets and homeless people walking up asking if we had any money for something to eat. I became somewhat nervous being that I was a young white boy walking around in the ghetto. I decided that the best idea would be to enter the Gund arena and get our seats for the concert. I first walked around the arena a few times checking out the outrageous prices on Guns and Roses memorabilia...
