Title: Just for laughs post your most memorable/dumb GNR rumor that people believed Post by: spaghetti_incident on February 15, 2007, 10:40:07 AM This thread is for fun while waiting for some real news on CD.
I'll start with the thread about GNR playing at Coyotes Bar in Atlanta in 2005.? This rumor was so incredibly dumb that it reached over 40 pages at other boards.? Some poster even said he saw GNR tour buses at Coyotes and even after management denied it, people still said it would happen. :rofl: http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=19881.msg338624#msg338624 Title: Re: Post your most memorable/stupidest GNR rumor Post by: BaDoBsEsSiOn418 on February 15, 2007, 10:44:41 AM Let's see...
Someone photoshopping Chinese Democracy on iTunes. That looked so real! The rumor about GN'R being at some Virgin Megastore doing an autograph signing on the day of the release of the album. I think someone even made a fake flyer telling employees to be quiet. Someone claiming to see Chinese Democracy in Walmart. Even took a "picture" of the album cover. Title: Re: Just for laughs post your most memorable/dumb GNR rumor that people believed Post by: gandra on February 15, 2007, 10:46:17 AM well,when first time i was there in 2001,i saw "new gnr cd coming out"
i was so fuckin excited,but it was rumor Title: Re: Just for laughs post your most memorable/dumb GNR rumor that people believed Post by: gokken on February 15, 2007, 10:48:32 AM I think the guy who photoshopped a printscreen of gnr.com was very funny! Everyone laughed at the bad photoshopping and the guy still tried to convince everyone it was true.
Then I also think it was funny when a new guy on the forum posted that a guy in his town who owned a cd-store had told him that it were going to be released a week later and everyone at this forum said "Come on, stop writing this shit, we know its not true" and the guy said "Ok you will see next tuesday". After that I dont think we have heard from the guy :) Title: Re: Just for laughs post your most memorable/dumb GNR rumor that people believed Post by: D on February 15, 2007, 10:48:45 AM My all time personal favorite:
This fat kid met Axl in a bar and somehow ended up outside the bar with Axl and at Axl's car. Axl let the fat kid listen to Chinese democracy but yet the fat kid couldnt remember one single lyric. People Fuckin actually believed that shit. Scary! Title: Re: Just for laughs post your most memorable/dumb GNR rumor that people believed Post by: Thorazine Shuffle on February 15, 2007, 10:49:16 AM The one off the top of my head would be Axl and Pink doing a cover of "Total Eclipse of the Heart". :hihi:
There are quite a few others, "My Favorite Pillow" comes to mind as well. Title: Re: Just for laughs post your most memorable/dumb GNR rumor that people believed Post by: spaghetti_incident on February 15, 2007, 10:49:36 AM I remember one too but it was actually a scam.
It was a concert overseas at an airport hangar or something and they even went as far as selling illegal tickets and such. :no: But due to some dilligent people on here, GNR management were notified of the scam and it was busted. Trying to find the thread/link on it.

All the guys that 'had' the album but never knew how to upload it. Checking the source code of gnr.com to see if there were any updates in the pipeline. That Axl had decided to quit the music business and become a munk. Title: Re: Just for laughs post your most memorable/dumb GNR rumor that people believed Post by: spaghetti_incident on February 15, 2007, 10:54:43 AM Gnfr.com riddle site probably holds the title for most dumb.
People believed that any updates with GNR would happen when this site updated :rofl: Title: Re: Just for laughs post your most memorable/dumb GNR rumor that people believed Post by: Tommie on February 15, 2007, 11:03:41 AM A few years back people were saying that Axl was in the studio recording, and Shaq was in the room next door doing a rap album. Shaq then came in with Axl and did a rap for CD

Title: Re: Just for laughs post your most memorable/dumb GNR rumor that people believed Post by: Lord Kayoss on February 15, 2007, 12:34:53 PM First one that comes to mind was people thinking Slash was the "surprise" guitarist for the 2006 shows. Never did understand the logic/reasoning behind that one. But of course the rumor probably originated from the same group of people who can't begin to imagine or fathom how the recent Robin pic could possibly ever remind anyone of Slash.
Go figure.

The legendary "magic fax machine" thing happened a few years ago. There wasn't alot of GNR news going out there and nobody really had anything interesting to say on the board (sort of like now). So, I JOKINGLY started making outlandish predictions and claiming that I had inside info. One of the first ones was that GNR would be playing the VMA's...and that one happened to come true. A few people around here started to beleive that I really knew what I was talking about. I then concocted the theory that I had a fax machine and I would daily get insider faxes with news about the band. I just so happened to be one of the first people to find out that MixMasterMike was going to be opening for GNR at that time, so I reported it as info I got from my fax machine. My predictions then got (in my opinion, pretty obviously) outlandish (aka:Dolly Parton doing a duet with Axl and a song titled "Fiona Asshole") and people got mad. Then, at one point I sent some made-up lyrics to a handfull of random posters her via email. Some people thought they were real and got excited. When they found me out, I happened to be checking into the board while on a break at work. Someone figured out the IP address and figured out where I work, and called the company I work for complaining about me. It was all pretty pathetic, actually.

We tracked the IP WHERE THE EMAIL CONTAINING THE LYRICS ORIGINATED FROM (we couldn't see where danny was browsing the board from...nobody but jarmo can do that) and then "someone" contacted the webmaster of the domain (Danny's work...which I won't mention so as not to stir up the shit again) trying to get more information on who the specific IP belonged to. We didn't know, at that point, who had actually come up with the lyrics and so "someone" was trying to find out. In the meantime, it was discovered, through Danny's own Message board, that he was the faker (he even posted the hotmail addy and password to get to it). THEN the webmaster of the domain, obviously displeased to discover one of the employees using facilities for something not "work related" contacted the "someone" previously mentioned, and then called them,.....and that "someone" passed along what had been discovered.

You're kidding, right? Title: Re: Just for laughs post your most memorable/dumb GNR rumor that people believed Post by: LeftToDecay on February 15, 2007, 02:21:39 PM . I really didn't think that people would take it so seriously, but I guess they did and I guess I misjudged what people found important in life. My bad. When it comes to GNR, people take everything seriously. There isn't anything in the world that was utter enough bullshit not to be considerd as a potential rumor by some desperate CD horny GNR fan. :)It's easy to understand, considering GNR hasn't released anything since 1957 or so. The fact that Axl(not to mention other members) never, ever, ever give any valid information themselves doesn't exactly help .So obviously fans feel a huge urge to somehow try to fill this void. Few weeks ago there was this random shitty GNR rumor thread here that had gone off topic ages ago. Just to entertain myself a little bit, i posted some truly absurd utter bullshit there.Something like: " I have been on this board very long time so i don't lie. Something amazing is happening soon want proof? check this e-mail i got!" *insert a screenshot from an ordinary wordpad file that has "sssshh, it is a secret - Axl"written on it.* Theen, filled the entire post with some between the lines -stuff that really, really should have mae it clear that I am bullshitting. But well, what do ya know, few people somehow manage to take it seriously, and i even get a PM from some dude who's asking if i know when CD is coming out:p Few hours later the thread gets deleted. Moral of the story being, never underestimate the potential creativity and optimism of a desperate, news-horny mind.

A close second to that would be the Latigo Hammers "situation". I guess it started in 2002, but it went on a lot longer than that. This GNFR site would be updated with riddles and some people on this board as well as others started solving them. Then Darknemus would be there hinting that it might be GN'R related, even after management said it wasn't. He'd post things like "I was poking around the GNFR.com site and it looks lie something's going on". Then magically a new riddle would appear. The domain name had a fake WHOIS record, because it used the same address as gunsnroses.com did at the time. But the name was changed. When we finally decided to pull the plug on advertising that fake site, Darknemus got really annoyed. Along with that, he also claimed that Axl himself was in their GNFR Riddles MSN chatroom. It turned out to be a person in Finland and a cease & desist (http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=655) letter was issued by the lawfirm representing Axl. Darknemus had all kinds of explanations on why Axl didn't know lyrics to his own songs, why his computer had a Finnish setup etc etc. The most amusing one was that Axl bought his laptop used from Mike Monroe. Eventually people woke up and realized it was all a game by people who had way too much free time. /jarmo Title: Re: Just for laughs post your most memorable/dumb GNR rumor that people believed Post by: Danny on February 15, 2007, 02:31:10 PM Quote As for "misjudging what people find important in life"...well, we'll leave it at this: I venture it took us less time to track your IP, and for "someone" to contact the webmaster in question, than it took for you to put together this: I.R.S.

And dark tried to convence me that jarmo was behind forging the Axl's cease and desist letter. Then latigo ended up being a girl. She offered to show a couple of us her boobs, but she admitted who she was to the entire board before she did and jarmo banned her :crying: And the kid who made the Robin interview where he said he quit, but he pasted the interview in a three year old Rolling Stone magazine.

Title: Re: Just for laughs post your most memorable/dumb GNR rumor that people believed Post by: nonlinear on February 15, 2007, 08:19:57 PM Quote Quote from: Danny on Today at 11:37:45 AM Quote Danny and his magical fax machine where top secret gn'r documents often would appear. That's my favorite. Still waiting on the Doll Parton/Axl duet. The email I sent out with the song lyrics was pretty funny (and insanely simple). It also got me banned from here for a while and almost got me fired from my job. What was the story about the fax machine? And why did you almost got fired? The legendary "magic fax machine" thing happened a few years ago. There wasn't alot of GNR news going out there and nobody really had anything interesting to say on the board (sort of like now). So, I JOKINGLY started making outlandish predictions and claiming that I had inside info. One of the first ones was that GNR would be playing the VMA's...and that one happened to come true. A few people around here started to beleive that I really knew what I was talking about. I then concocted the theory that I had a fax machine and I would daily get insider faxes with news about the band. I just so happened to be one of the first people to find out that MixMasterMike was going to be opening for GNR at that time, so I reported it as info I got from my fax machine. My predictions then got (in my opinion, pretty obviously) outlandish (aka:Dolly Parton doing a duet with Axl and a song titled "Fiona Asshole") and people got mad. Then, at one point I sent some made-up lyrics to a handfull of random posters her via email. Some people thought they were real and got excited.

Reply #109 on: Today at 08:19:57 PM ? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote from: Danny on Today at 12:44:42 PM Quote Quote from: Danny on Today at 11:37:45 AM Quote Danny and his magical fax machine where top secret gn'r documents often would appear. That's my favorite. Still waiting on the Doll Parton/Axl duet. The email I sent out with the song lyrics was pretty funny (and insanely simple). It also got me banned from here for a while and almost got me fired from my job. What was the story about the fax machine? And why did you almost got fired? The legendary "magic fax machine" thing happened a few years ago. There wasn't alot of GNR news going out there and nobody really had anything interesting to say on the board (sort of like now). So, I JOKINGLY started making outlandish predictions and claiming that I had inside info. One of the first ones was that GNR would be playing the VMA's...and that one happened to come true. A few people around here started to beleive that I really knew what I was talking about. I then concocted the theory that I had a fax machine and I would daily get insider faxes with news about the band. I just so happened to be one of the first people to find out that MixMasterMike was going to be opening for GNR at that time, so I reported it as info I got from my fax machine. My predictions then got (in my opinion, pretty obviously) outlandish (aka:Dolly Parton doing a duet with Axl and a song titled "Fiona Asshole") and people got mad. Then, at one point I sent some made-up lyrics to a handfull of random posters her via email. Some people thought they were real and got excited. When they found me out, I happened to be checking into the board while on a break at work. Someone figured out the IP address and figured out where I work, and called the company I work for complaining about me. It was all pretty pathetic, actually. you should be banned jerk Um, I was. Did you miss that part? Anyway, I thought the point of this thread was "just for laughs". In fact, doesn't it say that in the title? Oh well. Some people just can't get over things. Title: Re: Just for laughs post your most memorable/dumb GNR rumor that people believed Post by: GNRreunioneventually on February 15, 2007, 11:09:56 PM I heard a rumor once that 'Chinese Democracy' was going to be out in 1998, then 1999, then 2002, then 2004, then 2006, then.............. my favorite ones are the ones that happened in just under a year ago like when Slash said it would be out in may of '06 then it was said to be out in june i think then Axl came out and said some time in the fall. THEN it was said to be out within the next "13 remaining weeks" in the year of 2006 then the one where it was said to be out the 26th or the week before that or the WEek bEFOre THAT :rant: to be honest i hate this thread it really only points out our stupidity that we believed Axl all those times and yet nothing. I believe that it will come out but Goddamn enough is enough. 15 years is too long, i dont wanna say that i'm starting to becomes a doubter/basher/hater but i'm just having...........anger, dificulty, confusion :confused: like i dont know ya know? its wierd i know but i thought it was funny about how that one guy claimed Axl told him a whole bunch of shit about CHINESE DEMOCRACY and that one that said he saw tour buses and the one that saw them at a piss ant little bar :rofl: thats just retarded but funny i thought Title: Re: Just for laughs post your most memorable/dumb GNR rumor that people believed Post by: HoldenCaulfield on February 15, 2007, 11:35:50 PM Good lord the memories. My favorites were always:
-Axl and Lionel Richie were doing a duet of "Ebony and Ivory" I believe it was supposed to be -The band filmed a baseball-themed video for "Catcher in the Rye" in China -Axl and Alanis Morrisette were doing a duet for the 'Lord of the Rings' soundtrack -Axl and Pink doing 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' for Wes Cravens 'Cursed' and Pink's "comments" that listening to the new album was like the first time hearing "Jungle" -The album hasn't come out because they couldn't get J.D. Salinger's approval to use "Catcher in the Rye" The one thing that killed me was this guy (can't remember what forum) said he'd recieved a finished copy of the album, listened to it, then threw it away because it was "garbage, the worst album I've ever heard". Maybe that was over at VelvetRope...

Had all gone according to plan with CD last year I think that one woud have happened. has chigacoinfo not admitted that it was all bullshit There was definately a lot of BS that went with the rumour, such as the message in the Virgin staff room regarding a GNR performance, that was proved to be bollocks. But I think a special performance was on the cards in Chicago, possibly to promote the albums release, but when it became clear CD wouldn't be out by then they decided to maybe go along with the show anyway as a one off special performance. Check the show after Chicago, cancelled due to illness, I seem to remember shortly after the cancellation Axl saying he was dissappointed at having to cancel etc but also saying it had prevented them from doing a second (possibly acoustic) show after the main Chicago show. I can't seem to find a quote to support this but I'm sure I've read it. Basically I think the secret Chicago performance rumour might well have been legit. Edit - Here it is, proof a surprise show was planned, it just doesn't say where. The Guns N' Roses concert scheduled for Milwaukee's Bradley Center tonight has been cancelled due to illness. Guns N' Roses front man Axl Rose is suffering from an ear infection and strep throat. Rose was first diagnosed with the ear infection on the 20th of November in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He was seen again by a doctor last night following the band's show in Chicago and ordered to rest for a few days. The tour will continue as scheduled Friday night in Ames, Iowa at Hilton Coliseum. Axl Rose commented, "We had a great show in Chicago tonight and had hoped to do a surprise acoustic show afterwards. I have been fighting this off for a long time but the doctor told me tonight that the only way not to jeopardise the balance of the tour is immediate rest. We will now have 3 days off before continuing Friday. We are sorry to miss the fans in Milwaukee."

"an insider said axl kicked out all other members" and entered the priesthood. Seemingly this bs has been recycled many many times with the latter part altered. GNR fans are so original. Title: Re: Just for laughs post your most memorable/dumb GNR rumor that people believed Post by: Death Cube K on February 16, 2007, 10:35:34 AM Oh theres so many
I think one of the worst ones was the fake Hungary concert in 2003 or 04. Lots of tickets were sold, posters put up. Even saw pictures of it. That was bad. I always love the fake track listings, especially the one where the first song is called "Welcome back to the jungle". When IRS was first played on the Trunk show, some people refused to accept the possibility that it was indeed played because no recording popped up instantly. People described the song as stuff ranging from an Estranged type of thing to Welcome to the jungleish. I tried over and over again to explain why the song was played and reasons why the song hadnt appeared at any sites, but in the end I just gave up. I was proven right in the end though. The club show was a bad rumour and anyone beliving it should really check their heads and think before they belive all rumours. Another really bad one is that Silk Worms were suddenly described as "formely known as Oklahoma". There were some misunderstandings somewhere and a whole fucking lot of people thought it was the real deal. And you got the public rumours..."Axl is fat, Axl is bald, Axl has lives with psychic women" etc....always funny. Lionel Richie..how could I forget. And the MP3 called "Still Rising". It actually had me going for 2 listens before I scrapped it as fake. One guy reported during the 2002 New Years Eve shows that Buckethead wore a bucket with blood stains on it! People took it seriously at once and put it togheter with 9/11. The first reports of the Vegas shows in 01 had songs like Civil War, Pretty tied up, Estranged and 14 Years on the set list...

those people certainly brought a lot of joy into my message board visits. Nothing like a good laugh to sooth out the lack of any real news. Most recent: Ross Halfin was contacted by someone via e-mail after a recent (yet another!) outrageous GNR comment on his site. Halfin's reply ("Axl's currently doing a soul album alongside CD", or something similar) was posted to Roses of Velvet. The funniest thing about it to me was that a certain mod (who's also a regular here) seems to take it seriously, giving yet another of his opinions on Axl's state of mind based on the fact (in his mind, at least) that he's doing a soul album. I love you, man. :rofl: Title: Re: Just for laughs post your most memorable/dumb GNR rumor that people believed Post by: mrlee on February 16, 2007, 05:06:10 PM the one when a gig was ment to be on the other year (2004 or 2005), and even dizzy turned up at the place! people bought tickets n shit!

'steven adler makes up with axl.... reunion possible!' :rofl: i heard steven adler agreed to pay back the 2-point-5 million dollars he extorted from axl in 1993 when he blamed Guns n' Roses for his drug addiction. 8) Title: Re: Just for laughs post your most memorable/dumb GNR rumor that people believed Post by: bazgnr on February 19, 2007, 07:13:59 PM The rumor that sticks out the most to me is that the members of GnR work on one-year contracts, and essentially re-sign with the band on a yearly basis. ? ? Conspiracy theorists could easily say that the Jan. '07 dates were cancelled because the year was up, members have yet to re-sign, etc. ?I'm not saying it's the dumbest rumor - far from it - but it's the one that I remember for some reason...

Madison met Axl backstage in NYC in 2002, and Axl told her the name of the first single, and suposedly it was a song that's never been mentioned.

I am so sure a singer is going to eat a really big meal and then run around on stage like Axl does. And people believed that shit. :hihi: Title: Re: Just for laughs post your most memorable/dumb GNR rumor that people believed Post by: spaghetti_incident on February 19, 2007, 10:46:35 PM Another dumb one I remember seeing back in 02 was that it was a 'clone' Axl that played and toured in 02 and that the 'real' Axl was kidnapped or dead.

Well, Chokri himself (concertpromoter of Pukkelpop) actually told that on Studio Brussel, so I guess it was true.? But it wasn't at a restaurant but on the festivalsite.? Axl was allready late because his plane was delayed, they brought him, from Luik it was I think, under police-escort to the site and than he told Chokri he'd like to have this special kind of fish before going onstage.

Some guy claimed to have Chinese Democracy but people didnt buy his lies.

I can't remember whether this one was a rumor or just a dumb guess... Someone went to a Buckethead show in 2004/5, and claimed to have glimpsed someone peeping in from the backstage, apparently Axl. The poster mentioned the apparition was laughing. :rofl: Title: Re: Just for laughs post your most memorable/dumb GNR rumor that people believed Post by: C0ma on February 21, 2007, 11:43:18 PM Didn't see this mentioned yet.
Back in 2002 there was a rumor going around that GnR were on the campus of a private high school filming a video for Madagascar. I'm pretty sure a board member claimed their "daughter" or "niece" went there. |
