Title: Time to be "Fanatic" again ??
Post by: RnT on December 07, 2005, 10:54:52 PM
I?m a fan of this band since first time I saw the LIES EP im front of me, I was 11 years old
they were releasing the UYI albuns in that time... so, when I just realise how much I loved that band was along that 3 years ( 91 to 94 I think ), that time the band weren?t making shows, interviews and etc from what I remember ( after 94 )... so, my love for them grew while the band started to dissolve... so, I remember bying everything that I see in front of me, magazines, tapes etc... and my room was full of GNR posters

so, in ?99 that fanatism that I had when I was 13 years old just was not the same, couse I wanted to believe that GNR was alive, but deep inside I knew in some way that I was lucky enough just to be living that time to see what?ll be coming in the near future with the name GUNS N?ROSES... so, those posters, videos, magazines I just started to stow away them... and this makes me leave just one poster of the band im my room

so, yesterday that love from 11 years ago just came out, and just listening to AFD and puting my old videos to see, wasn?t enough for me...

I just put all my GNR POSTERS back in my room, I read every little magazine that I have, tons of journals from the time that the band played here in Brazil in RIR2 and S?O PAULO... and man, what a day, that feeling "anything could hapen anytime" that I used to have when I read these articles from the time GNR used to "rule the world" ... I just realised that my parents had their moment with Sabbath, Zeppelin... and I?m having this with GUNS N ROSES

(http://tinypic.com/ic47ky.jpg)
(http://tinypic.com/ic47pl.jpg)

( I decided put more Axl posters, couse the old band is gone and we don?t have anything about the new band so far...)

I?m with that feeling again, I know that a lot of GNR fans have much more material than me, and I?m not trying to be the "number 1" fan and start that bullshit about "I have more things, so I?m more fan that you and bla bla bla" ... I?m just happy that"anything could happen anytime" now... and it will make history, and that little kid that keep saving money from his sandwish and coke in the school is back and ready to do it all again   :smoking:

time to be fanatic again Axl
show me what you?ve got  ;)

 :peace:

Great post!! :beer: Looks just like my room from 87-91. But those pictures also show how pathetic the current situation is. Twelve years since their last album, and all we have is those same old pics of the old band. Nothing new! The only way people will be fanatics like that again is if he'll release some new albums, and take a new generation by storm. Axl, if you're reading this, after looking at this guys wall, I have something to say to you(again): Thanks for "burying" AFD!! :hihi:

You know what would be hilarious? If he did what you just advised, and then seeing a 50 page thread about it.

wow that is hard core.. nice poster, thanks..
i remember when i had that same feeling.. its amazing and never really can be duplicated but i know it can come back again like what happened with the Black Crowes this year for me when they started touring again, simply amazing.
it started though, i listened to those live versions of breakdown and a few other things and i'm getting back into it. we are in for a very interesting 2006 i think!

I'm always pretty fanatic about GN'R.  I don't have nearly the amount of memorbelia a lot of you guys and gals do since I wasn't a fan until a little more than 4 years ago, but I would consider myself a fanatic.  However, my fanaticism definitely died down once the 2002 tour was cancelled.  Up until Axl no-showed in Philly, I was at a whole other level of fanatic with GN'R.  Since then I haven't been at that level.  I really want Axl to give me a reason to be at that level again.  But I don't think I'd be able to be there unless something big happened...like the release of CD.  I don't think I could just flick a switch and all of a sudden be at that level again.  Something needs to happen to get me that excited again.

Ah i remember when my room was like that  :love:

And then I remember being 14, returning home from school and my mum had taken all my posters down and chucked them out  :crying:

Ah well!!

do you guys think that GNR fanatism will be less or more when Axl come back ?

It really depends on the group as a whole and if they talk to the press enough thats going to be the test. If Axl looks foward and doesn't talk trash and does his thing like a ARTIST does, then Yes they'll be at the top.

I?ll be 24 next week, since I saw the LIES EP in front of me, the meaning "Rock N?Roll" became part of my life.
some people will show to theirs sons books, pictures of great world leaders, memories... that?s why I?m doing with GNR, I wish when I?m 40 to have posters of my fav bands in my wall  ;D

I work, have a band ( www.nutshell.com.br :) ), have a beautiful girl ( tha loves GNR and rock! ), awsome parents that were crazy about Zeppelin, Sabbath in their time

I?m just waiting for CD to put in the higher volume in my car and show to averyone why Rock N?Roll makes you be like that  :)

Great room.  You should keep the pics to yourself though.  You could get a restraining order.  Just kidding.  Keep it real.

you know...I dig the shit outta Axl. I really do. I think he's fucking awesome...always have, always will. I made a poster out of this cool ass (IMO) picture of Axl kicking back looking cool, with the big bud next to him. Bur I don't know...

just seems a little gay to have all those pics of a dude half naked, or wearing biker shorts and shit up on the wall there.

Maybe Im just taking a stab in the dark but... you live with your parents right? You don't have a girl either. I would love to stand corrected so tell me I'm wrong. I think this is a little worrying like the other dude mentioned. Its almost stalker crazy.

...wait, you're real name wouldn't be Stan by any chance would it?

ih budda that was just so wrong, .lol, funny, though, , but in the posters defence, its not like hes climbing over axls walls, trying to get in like that sycho bimbo yrs ago, so what if he like axl in shorts, so the fuck what.  :rofl:( I know I did back in the day) ! :o :-* :beer: :peace:

I consider myself a gnr fan not because of how much stuff i can collect with their names on it but because how much i like their music, I will never buy anything other than their cd's or dvds. I have about 100gb of bootlegs though  :peace:
