Title: Nickname for those of us who travel around the country to see GNR Post by: Annie on November 26, 2006, 11:48:23 PM My friends have all been teasing me about all the GNR concerts that I have seen this year. She said I am like those DEADHEADS that followed the GRATEFUL DEAD around and that I should come up with a similar moniker. I like ROSEBUD and so did she. What do you guys think? ::)
Title: Re: Nickname for those of us who travel around the country to see GNR Post by: cineater on November 26, 2006, 11:55:02 PM We're going to call the guys Rosebuds?

Title: Re: Nickname for those of us who travel around the country to see GNR Post by: freedom78 on November 27, 2006, 12:58:40 AM "Axl Rose's Frequent Fuckin' Flyers"? Or, perhaps, they could collectively be referred to as "Jungle Fever."

Title: Re: Nickname for those of us who travel around the country to see GNR Post by: Grasshopper on November 27, 2006, 01:03:27 AM Err how about the Rich Bastards....
Title: Re: Nickname for those of us who travel around the country to see GNR Post by: von on November 27, 2006, 01:36:30 AM "Axl Rose's Frequent Fuckin' Flyers"? Or, perhaps, they could collectively be referred to as "Jungle Fever." Agreed. Title: Re: Nickname for those of us who travel around the country to see GNR Post by: lennonisgod on November 27, 2006, 02:42:21 AM You should just keep it simple and follow tradition... Grateful Dead has the Dead Heads, Jimmy Buffett has the Parrot Heads and GN'R could have the _____ Heads. It's too late for me to think of a decent name to put in the blank though. It would be cool if one day GN'R had the extremely loyal following that the Grateful Dead or Buffett have but I doubt it would ever happen that way. Jimmy Buffett has sold out every single seat to every show for every single tour for many years now. It's pretty amazing actually. Anyway...
Hell Heads are what the loyal members of this forum are. Bullet Heads could be cool but may sound cheesy I think. Guns Heads doesn't sound right either. I'm just trying to say something that might spark an idea with someone else and I'm coming up blank at this point. Fuck it. EDIT: Oh and the "Jungle Fever" thing just won't ever work. Anyone that knows what people call Jungle Fever will know what I mean... Title: Re: Nickname for those of us who travel around the country to see GNR Post by: IndiannaRose on November 27, 2006, 02:45:35 AM Why not....
"Gunners" Title: Re: Nickname for those of us who travel around the country to see GNR Post by: lennonisgod on November 27, 2006, 02:58:47 AM Why not.... "Gunners" It's like a nickname for the band itself already. A lot of people refer to members of the band as "Gunners." It doesn't really matter though because I doubt something we make up in this thread is going to stick and be used when referring to GN'R fans 10 years from now. Gunners would be cool though if it wasn't used so much already though. Title: Re: Nickname for those of us who travel around the country to see GNR Post by: anythinggoes on November 27, 2006, 03:02:48 AM ok its early but how about
W.A.R.Heads Title: Re: Nickname for those of us who travel around the country to see GNR Post by: lennonisgod on November 27, 2006, 03:07:57 AM ok its early but how about W.A.R.Heads That is a cool idea but it would be cool if we could think of a name that didn't have to do solely with Axl and maybe more with the WHOLE band. But on the other hand Axl is the MAIN reason we are all still here and waiting for this album so... EDIT: Wait, wait, wait... isn't that candy?? War Heads??? Really sour candy from a few years back?? Title: Re: Nickname for those of us who travel around the country to see GNR Post by: anythinggoes on November 27, 2006, 03:23:08 AM ok its early but how about W.A.R.Heads That is a cool idea but it would be cool if we could think of a name that didn't have to do solely with Axl and maybe more with the WHOLE band.? But on the other hand Axl is the MAIN reason we are all still here and waiting for this album so... EDIT:? Wait, wait, wait... isn't that candy??? War Heads???? Really sour candy from a few years back?? Ok another poor attempt then GuNFeRS hang on isnt that the guy from Friends maybe he was a closet GNR fan Title: Re: Nickname for those of us who travel around the country to see GNR Post by: D on November 27, 2006, 03:30:36 AM I am a genius

I spent five days in Lisbon, I went to Dublin, Oslo, got to finally see the wonderful NYC, met and got drunk with loads of wonderful people from all over the world, had the greatest summer of my life... I even found love, briefly, but I did. I think I have a life.... Those were my holidays; I guess other people prefer to spend theirs just lying on a beach but that's not my idea of a good time. Money? Yeah, you need some, but as Jarmo says: If you plan carefully, you can do it on the cheap side.

Axlites is a good one too. Believers or The Blind aren't too bad either. I'd even vote for the Disciples. My suggestions: Gun Runners Gun Nuts The NRA (National Revelers of Axl) - this one would be fun...we could make shirts that say "Join the NRA" The Jungle (or Monkeys...for Monkeys in the Jungle) Paradisians The Children The Better Fans TWATs (okay, not this one...but I had to say it) |
