Here Today... Gone To Hell!

If you look at those Michael Jackson fans, it's like "oh, look at those wackos." Is it the same with the hard-core Axl supporters. I'm not talking about GN'R fans in general, I'm talking about, well, you know...I guess I'm one of them...I can't seem to help it. It's like an addiction. Maybe we should start a support group..AA, Axl Anonymous.

I don't think that's anything typical for Micheal Jackson or Axl fans.

There's always fans that don't see their idols as people but as some superhumans who never do anything wrong.

No.

Like Axl, we his fans have no shame. ?:P

If other people find us "embarrassing" ... oh fuckin' well to them. (http://clicksmilies.com/s0105/sauer/angry-smiley-021.gif)

When I was in jr. high school, I saw Axl that way. It's hard to shake it off. I guess we all need heros.

no offense to you at all RichardNixon, but that is the type of thing that not only creeps me out, but also baffles me.  Looking up to a guy is one thing, but its a whole other thing to look to him as a god.  I am sure over time now that you have grown up these feelings have subsided a good deal. 

Does anyone remember lolly from gnronline?  good old karen who is still in jail I suppose.  She was the epitome of a scary fan. 

I suppose it depends on who these people are embarrassing.  If some of the Axl maniacs out there wish to make fools of themselves, then go for it.  I get a good laugh out of these folks, like the Axl vs. Jesus guy, what a joke.  I would speculate that these people have nothing going on in their lives so they live through Axl, not that he has much going on either!!

It's like, when your a kid, you idolize a rockstar, and as an adult, even if you recognizee it's irrational, you still feel emotional about those people you looked up to.

as weird as i am, i don't think i need AA anonymous because i went to 1 concert in my whole life and the band would NEVER find me on their way.

I'm not " wacko" but am probably emotionally needy like many here and GNR were and are still probably my virtual nanny.. :hihi: :hihi:

 ;)

I am only speaking about the over obsessed fans not GNR fans in general.  I am a fan but I look at the world realistically, not some Axl driven fantasy.

Iwas the same way too.. Much different when you grow up though..

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Well I think I'm not an Axl fan.
I'm kinda scared of the idol worshippers since Take That....

If I were you guys I wouldn't pile on the crazy Axl Rose fans, because they are in fact crazy. You are lible to wake up tomorrow with your tires slashed and "Fuck the old band" painted on the hood of your car.

to get serious.... there are some people that take the 'Axl love' to a dangerous level.

I think that although some fans ARE embarrassing because they go crazy every time Axl's name is mentioned, most fans are mature enough to realize that being like that is not only embarrassing for Gn'R fans in general, but also embarrassing to the other Axl fans who aren't so insane. Reason: Being insane just makes other people think "Jeez, why are all Axl fans like that?!"
I admit that at times, I can go a little mad, but its not a crime to do that once in a while, everyone does, just not all the time!
I am a bit freaked out by certain idol worshippers though... some people just go OTT. Luckily I don't. At least I don't think so.
Come what may, I'm an Axl fan through and through, say what you will. ?:beer: But, just to clear one thing up, I ADORE the old band and I'd give anything to see them all back together again, although I'm interested in what the new band has to offer. I'm a little pissed off that so many people think that all Axl fans hate the old band and just want the new band's stuff. For fuck's sake! If the old band wasn't around, then Axl Rose wouldn't be working with a new band, and forget Velvet Revolver.
If you wanna thank anyone for the old band... actually, its probably Axl's parents. As shit as they were, if they weren't the way they were, Gn'R may never have existed because the redhead from Indiana wouldn't have moved to the city until a later date, therefore not getting there in time for Gn'R... if you get what I'm saying...
jeez, I'm knackered. Understand, when I'm knackered, I do not shut up unless I force myself to, I mean look, I'm still typing, and I can't stop. I just keep thinking of more things to say, so I gotta go before I bore y'all!

 : ok:Elly : ok:

There's no doubt there are some extreme people online.. No one will ever say hey axl is just taking forever to release the album, they are convinced it's always someone elses fault.. Some people do get to that borderline obsessed stalker type metallity

Hmm I like Axl Brain Robin... and I liked Bucket...Basically I love the band as a whole. :love:

I thought this part of the forum was for the Axl Anonymous group...! :hihi:

I used to be one of thoses embarassing Axlites, I would make every and any excuse for the reasons as to why Axl hasn't put out CD anything else that would need defending.   But my therapy is each and every year that goes by that he doesn't release CD and disappears with no info at all from him or his managment, except for vague statements.  Don't get me wrong, I still love Axl but not to the point of delusion.

Fuck no! :rant:
Everyone has idols, and everyone goes a little bit radio ga-ga over them. :peace:
I have absolutley no shame in being an Axl fan. : ok:

When AFD came out, I played it everywhere I went.  I think I was making people crazy with it.  :hihi:

I actually ran into someone that I haven't seen in 15 years and she said "Every time I think of you, I think of GNR because you always played that one album over and over."  :P

Hehe, my college friends say to me that whenever they see something Gn'R related anywhere, they think of me because I'm the one obsessed with Gn'R! :hihi:
They say that if I could have been at the Troubadour when they played their first show, I would have lept onstage to do unmentionable things to Axl... :rofl: Thing is, so would a lot of girls! He was so fucking sexy back in the day! Why the hell did he get botox and braids and extra pounds???!!! He was PERFECT the way he was! He's still awesome, but...... *sniffle* where did the young sexy Axl go???!!

(random thing from today) My friend from college told me that her mom's met Sid Vicious! AWESOME!!

lol
i should go to them there meetings '
 :beer: :smoking:
show em my moto'
peace and chicken grease !

I am not ashamed or embarrassed of being an 'Axl fan'.
I understand that there are those who don't 'get it'...
but that isn't going to change how I feel...
It's a personal thing
you know... some people 'love' this or that or whoever...
whatever brings them pleasure
whatever motivates, inspires, or comforts them...
who am I to judge what is appropriate?
to each his own  :peace:

fuck yeah i'm embarrassing.. i embarrass the crap out of my friends when i'm out w/ em cuz none of my friends like gnr at all.. in fact, some of them hate axl with all their being and i just love screaming out random axl quotes or song phrases, etc.. its all good..

Someone should track him down n' give him a interview

Someone mentioned an obsessed fan named Karen. Did she actually do something illegal, like stalk someone? Is that why she's in jail? I think I've heard the name before but I don't know the whole story. I'd appreciate it if someone posted for example a link to a previous discussion about her. Stalkers freak me out. :nervous:

The only embarrassing moments I would say is th vmas as a fan.. Not that I was let down, just everyone who knew I liked guns n roses at one point gave me a lot of grief about how axl looked, how they didn't see anyone they knew onstage.. Also saying cd will be coming out years back, we all know how that panned out.. Otherwise it's been all good..

she stalked Axl, and got into his house one day. Damn crazy fool. I dunno how she managed to get into the door though shes like the size of a house.  :rofl:
