Title: WHAT IS GNR TO YOU?
Post by: Music For Life on June 02, 2004, 11:54:46 PM
Hey everyone, im pretty new here.  im on the mygnr.com forum(One In A Million), and im working on that being my name over here as well) but i will be posting here more often now just to get a tast of what its like over here.

I just want to get a feel of what the people over here think GNR is to them and give you an idea of what they mean to me.  Enjoy ;)

GNR is group of the 5 originals off appetite including Matt, who had the most chemistry then any band I have ever seen.  They all fed off of each other and the fire cant be rekindled by any replacement(with the acception of Matt, he worked out great)  

GNR could of been bigger than the Stones had they not self destructed.  They were the biggest band in the world till the day they died.  

GNR is more than music to me, WAY more.  I am 19 and started listening to them when I was 8, they were what got me into rock n roll.  I immediatley became obssesed with them and it hasnt stoped and never will.  Their music was power and raw energy not seen by hardly any other band.

They were the absolute greatest and there was nobody better.  I think its sad that Axl is dragging the name through the mud and that there are people who actually think that what he is doing is GNR.  This isnt an Axl rant, I am not an Axl basher and I am not one of those guys who supports everything Slash does.  I am a fan of GNR, not one person in the band.  1 person didnt make up that band, it took them all to do it and cant be done with anybody else.  I used to be very pissed at Axl and talk a lot of shit about him using the name, but now its to the point where I just laugh at it all.  I can go on about what GNR is so I will end here and let you guys/gals take over.  Peace : ok:

I hope you enjoyed and please, this isnt supposed to be a controversial thread at all, just an insight on how I feel about GNR.  After i get a nice amount of responses this thread will turn into another thread that should be very interesting ;)

GET IN THE RING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ya, definately...I think I may speak for alot of people when I agree with u that GnR is more than just music.

I am not sure if I am the only one, but I find the whole atmosphere of the band appealing. Its hard to explain and it might sound like I''m on drugs but the whole "Gypsy charm" aura around them draws me in. When I think of GnR, I always think of smoke filled pubs...old pool tables...carpets on walls, cigars, etc.  I realize this effect is definitely created by their videos and personal image but it is that mystery, along with great music, that keeps them leagues above most bands in my books.

 First to say that I absolutely agree with you. This is not GN'R what it is now. Once again, GN'R can't be GN'R without Slash, Duff and let's say Matt. I'm great fan of Izzy too. I'm big fan of Axl but the best thing he could do is to leave the GN'R name rest in peace. Unless they reunion someday.
 
 About what is GN'R to me? My whole damn life is GN'R. So yes it's a lot more than music. I wake up with GN'R, I eat with GN'R, I go to sleep with GN'R I smoke :smoking: with GN'R, I drink :drool: with GN'R and of course, I party with GN'R. Everything!
 
 By the way, I'm 20 now, and I also listen to GN'R since I was 8.

Hell yeah!!! That's my vision of the old GNR too.  Allthough the new GNR doesn't have the same badass look and they will never be as cool as the original thing,but I really believe that,musically speaking,the new guys can match the old guys someday.

I've been a G'n'R fan since '87 and they are now what they've always been, A rock and roll band, and thats it! I saw them for the first time in Toronto, Canada in 2002, and they kicked ass! Alot! (axl is the best, bar none, singers I have ever seen) But in an industry where tastes change from day to day you need some new material out there. I've been anticipating them to release something new since that "Sympathy for the Devil"single (Which is brilliant IMO) and thought it would finally see the light of day in 2002, but once again they failed to release the goods. I'm not holding my breath any more. If it comes, great, if not whatever, I'll listen to something else.

Sorry I meant to say.

"I've been a G'n'R fan since '87 and they are now what they've always been, A rock and roll band, and thats it!"

And on top of that a band that hasn't relased anything new in 10 years!?  After I saw them I thought it was gonna be released now I've given up. Fold the band and release a solo album

Yea, definitely. Just because quite a few of them are on the sadist side, I reckon, you are easily mistaken about their love.:hihi:
