Have you ever met anybody from the board (a person you didn't know before you registered here)? No, but I remember that in the concert here in Madrid I was near a person who was wearing a HTGTH t-shirt and looked like foreigner? It was funny, 'cuz we (me and he) where the only two persons in our area that won't go madness when the Axl's delay was announced!

Well...if the shirt was white and they guy wearing it was 191 cms...then I assume it was me. I don't look very spanish you know... ;)

people that listen to George Michael and Prince before getting into GnR :hihi: and I thought i was bad with Dokken "we're the Dream Warriors, don't wanna dream no more" :peace:

i liked billy idol, but hey i was 5 at the time! ;D

I guess what makes me sad is that I listen to all three of those artists still. I listen to a little bit of everything.

Yeah, don't knock Prince! Also for the record, I was around 10 or 11 before getting into GNR, so that of course affects musical tastes... But respect for the early bloomers, especially for kupirock, listening to Sepultura at 6 years old! :D \m/

I guess I'm the only brazilian there yet, huh?

:hihi:

hey :peace: i just bought MJ's Thriller a couple months ago, we're all allowed to listen to a little bit of cheese ;)

@ voodoo, I think mandy posted that she is from Brazil :peace:

Maybe in that thread, but almost everyone in the HTGTH orkut community seems to be Brazilian.  :)

P.S: That's one thread that's really difficult to read.  :no:

Uh, I didn't see her post... Yeah, she's brazilian too! :)

Yeah, because Orkut is mainly our myspace, lol. I'm there too, BTW.

Yeah, that's why I didn't see Mandy's post. I was too lazy to check the whole thread post by post.. :(

hahah nice, I put down DOKKEN too. 

Breakin' the chains!!!

hahaha.  Beast from the East is still a decent disc. 

my favorite brazilan voodoo :), ..yeah this a pretty interesting thread. BUT I know for sure that I  met many alng the yrs throughout this jorney of live and loving a gand. ONE that will never be replicated!
:)

What does Do you collect GN'R memorabilia? means? I put that I have a book that works?  ???

GN'R merchandise... Rings, mugs whatever... You know stuff with 'GN'R' on them...

Unless somebody plans to statistically evaluate or tabulate the posts in that thread, it's pretty useless. Totally unreadable now.

Most people in the Orkut community just lurk around the forum.



True... I just scroll down reading the usernames, some posts I read, some I don't.

what's this survey for actually?

for everybody's curiosity or for yours jarmo, are you going to make some sort of stats out of these q's?

It's just for fun because I'm curious.

We've gotten some new members this year thanks to the tours. So it's fun to see where people are coming from (not just in the geographic sense).



I'll probably make some short of conclusion of it at one point.

Well since I'm in the marketing business I do this stuff all the time. I might give it a shot when and IF I have some spare time 'cause it can be pretty time consuming.

This was cool, getting to know more about each other. : ok:

Cool thread Jarmo... you made me really think about some answers.  I think I may have found this site when it first opened, but I could be wrong.  I had a 14.4 modem before my super fast 28.8 and I always came here to find links to other pages because i was only 10 and not allowed to talk to people on the internet (the parents worried about that sutff) so I avoided the board feature.

Good survey..  Not much else going on currently. Yet. :yes:


Is there a way you can put a link to either that post we made, or our post in the "About Me" thread in our users profile. It'd be neat later, we can check out someone's story & background when reading/replying to threads.  : ok:

Stoner advicery: This thread might make you feel :confused:

But thanks Jarmo for the site : ok:

ATTN: Stoner Advisory: It's not spelled "Stoner advicery"?


 j/k : ok:

cool survey, the only thing wrong with it is that i havent done anything at work today because ive been reading surveys all day.

HAHA SAME HERE!  :rofl:

Thanks for spell checking :beer:

ps. is it spell? :hihi:

ey Ignatius, MAY be it was you! he/you was/were chatting with some other fans (they have happened four months since that night, but I think it was girl with two men, and these group I'm 99'99% sure they weren't spanish).

also, I was seated on the left seats (pointing at the scene of course), my ticket was G5b row 6 seat 038 :smoking:

oh man, when remembering now that night  :beer: I'm upset that I didn't even try to talk to him/you... oh my shyness :-[

Prince is my 2nd favorite act behind guns n roses.  He is talented.  You have to see him live to appreciate it. Unbelievable guitar player.

I like Prince, George Michael and Dokken too! Haha!

Nothing wrong with having an eclectic music taste that spans genres.  Just means you are open minded to things and that is a good thing!  Good music is not defined by the genre it belongs to.  :yes:

Damn, people are replying like crazy...  8)


I probably won't be able to compile it all into some kind of nice "report" since it's become quite huge.  :hihi:




/jarmo

 :rofl: I laughed at that. Something like that never even occured to me.

That is quite clever

Damn great idea Jarmo!!!! Its great being able to have some fun with all the memebers on the board, while we wait for the US tour and hopefully a CD.

Im starting to really think I am the only person to ever buy Duffs solo album.

I didn't even know Duff had solo albums.  :o

I bought it the day it was released in 1993.....




/jarmo

Kirka huh? That hard rockin' son of a bitch :rofl:

(http://www.kirka.fi/story/story69.jpg)


Don't worry, you're not the only one ;)

man, it looks like a battle to the finish b/w "TWAT" and "Better" for favorite new track.

I hope someone who's bored can compile all this stuff into a stat sheet, that would be cool!

Something that details how many participants are from each country would be cool.

I loved the fact that when scrolling through that GNR really has a fan base that spans all ages.  That alone says something about their music.  There are the older die hards like me and teens on here that would even rival me on GNR knowledge and I think that's just great that is band is loved by so many!

A stat compilation would be nice though. I don't have that kind of patience but maybe someone else on here does?

Lets not all forget Duff was a huge Prince fan, and I agree he is a very talented artist, I loved his music from the 80's.

By reading these surveys, I have found that I am probably oldest on the board so far at 41, but a very young at heart 41, still a big kid!!!

i don't have that much time, but i'll try to make a stat compilation of most of the questions. but gimme some time!

I just realised that all brazilian fans are really taking the South American tour in January for granted.

What if it doesn't happen?

judging by gn'r's extremely succsessfull history in south america i don't think theres much of a chance that they leave that part of the world out of the loop...

if it doesn't happen, it will be because gn'r is finished.

it's actually pretty funny to read some of the answers.

this one from Supaplex cracked me up good.

If, yes, what's your favorite piece of memorabilia you have in your possession?


a muffler, bought it from two guys outside the arena in budapest this year


 :rofl:

Or because a member left. It's not because it's in South America... It's purely because we are talking about GNR, you can't take things for granted, you just never know what will happen next.

Ok, I have to ask since I know a muffler to be a piece of a vehicle.  Does this word have some other type of meaning that I am unaware of?

People have faith, Mandy. Also, there is several emails from Richard saying they will be here in January, so why not have hope? :peace:

i don't think so and thats why i thought it was so funny!

i picture thiis guy walking away from a gn'r gig, totaly high after seeing guns, carrying a fuckin rusty dirty ol' muffler under his arm lol

i bet the guy who sold it was pretty happy about the deal aswell he he

 : ok:

I hear you. But you're right... It's the least the brazilian fans deserve. ;)

Does your uncle tell you everything?  :-\

isnt' a muffler like a thick scarf?  ???

I bought it the day it was released but I didn't like it as much as I liked Neurtic Outsiders.

I bought Duffs' CD the day it came out as well. He was hyping it up to be some big Punk Rock album. I must have bought the wrong one. Wasn't bad though. I enjoyed "The Majority" with Lenny Kravitz

Some stats... yeah, I know, I've got WAAAY too much time on my hands tonight? :hihi:? :smoking:

Nightfall owns a GNR pinball machine?!?!?!?!?!?!?  :o

yep...whenever you're in the neighbourhood, drop by  : ok:

Will do!   ;D
Thanx for the invitation!

maybe it was the wrong word but i'm pretty sure the dictionary i searched in to be sure is not wrong
lostrose got the answer right. it's the thing you wear around your neck in winter, and it's not a scarf because it's thicker like lostrose said. but if you have a better word let me know : ok:

that explains it lol

And Nightfall, where do you live???  ;D

Overseas, if I recall.  Can't remember where exactly.  Great person! Thanks again for the shirt, Nightfall!  :peace:

I'm from Holland.

Regarding the poster who was surprised by those listeners who listened to "bad" or what now appears to be uncool music prior to G N'R, just to characterise the time and perhaps Guns N' Roses significance: There was no internet nor even alternative. There were bands such as R.E.M and the Cure or Punk bands such as The Misfits and the Circle Jerks, but there wasn't a collective label. CD's actually were still fairly new. I was in middle school and had barely reched the beginning of adolesence when "Appetite" was released. Older groups such as Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones and The Who seemed to be from an earlier generation and had not yet undergone a resurgance. So by the time the "Sweet Child O' Mine" Video was released, it was a breath of fresh air-- something new and authentic and our own. It is this that made groups such as Poison and even Motley Crue appear to be inauthentic. Growing up in the suburbs and small towns-- one would be fortunate to have access to an urban record  store to be more "in the know". To this day I must say I find it convienent to be hip... Regarding what has happened to the band in the interviening years, it is of novel proportions for which the last page has yet to be written...

No, I didn't go to the Helsinki shows. :(




/jarmo

I thought you were Finnish. Is Jarmo also a Swedish name??? :o

He is Finnish, but he just lives in Sweden.. traitor :hihi:

Jarmo btw, why didn't you come to the Helsinki show(s)?

I had no time basically.... They were in the middle of the week.




/jarmo

guess we all have to drop by for a beer or two then

wrong house for beer ;) , but you could bring your own when you drop by :P

yeah, to bad you were still drawing saab parts at that time.. :hihi:

I wasn't.... But it was close.  ;)
