Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Almost two years ago, I made a thread with a fan survey for all the people who read and post here.

I was curious to see "who" you are. Even though we're all GN'R fans, we still have a bit different tastes and different experiences. So I figured it would be kinda cool to know a little bit more about you.

The response was so huge, that I didn't have time to compile all the answers!


But instead of letting the idea go, I figured what better time than the 12th anniversary to try it again, but with a little help.

So, if you got the time, please visit this page [link removed] for the new survey.

Thanks.

The survey is closed.

;D

good times.

that question about audio formats took a lot of thinking.

When does it close?

Read the first post.  :P




/jarmo

I can't wait to see the results for what song made you a fan .... I chose Paradise City, but it's not my favorite, but when your 9 years old and the main thing you can understand is the grass is green and the girls are pretty.  I heard nightrain then too, but again didn't understand the lyrics ... Nightain is one of my favs now   8)

done!  had fun filling it out, though had trouble remembering some of the answers. 

Done-brought back some memories

Finished ;) Don't feel bad Lisa I am a year older than you :P

Doesn't seem to work for me and my mac... Safari...

When is the world going to adapt?  :rant:

Done!

In the last question, I chose ''5'' in all options except for ''memory card'' where I put ''3''...

thinking about a Blue-Ray disc puts me  :drool:

Well, that was sort of fun. 

Done. Worked fine with firefox...

Just took it!  : ok:

Done. Wow I've been coming here for over 4 years now, met a bunch of you at Mustang Harry's, but my post count still sucks   :no:

cool questions... curious to see the results

just completed it : ok:

only i don't have any official vids of the band just a few that were given to me so i just put welcome to the videos :-\

good survey, can we see results of others on teh board?

Maybe I'll close it earlier than planned.....

     27. If you could pick one place to see GN'R play and you could attend, where would it be?

Many of you want GN'R to play either your house or your home town.  ;)

Hammerstein Ballroom, Madison Square Garden, Las Vegas and Wembley Stadium are a popular choices too

Thanks to everybody who took part!

Thats very interesting. By the looks of it I was the only Aussie to do this. I think I may have fucked up the last question I think I done it arse up, I thought 1 was most likely and 5 least likely. If I remember correctly.


 :peace:

forgot to mention that i answered too :P

damn finland and norway beating us, lame swedes not answering :hihi:

Very nice to see the survey results. Thanks.

So paradise city didn't convert anyone?  Shocked! 

I fixed my mistake.

I had forgotten to paste it into the post...




/jarmo

Yeah that is surprising

Nice one.  Intriguing results, thanks for putting all that together.

Damn, I missed the survey!  I don't always look up to that top section.  Dammit!

Awesome!

But looking at some of the answers, it's a little bit odd that most people became a fan in 87 and 88!! Ok, AFD topped the charts in 88, but I'm sure GNR was a complete unkonwn to mainstream in 87. There were sort of popular in the LA club scene, but I just find it hard to believe most people here became fans before they actually became comercially big.

I was expecting many more answers from those years 91-93, I guess I was wrong or maybe people feel they wouldntt be considered hard core fans if they discovered the band around the Illusion years.

Seems as though you doubt people becoming fans in '87.  From the looks of the responses, there is a significant number of fans 30 and up.  I'm 31, making me 10 in '87.  I clearly remember first seeing Gn'R in rock magazines (circus, metal edge) in late '87, seeing Welcome to the Jungle and remember that episode of Headbangers Ball when they tore up the set.  And while I didn't actually own Appetite until the summer of '88 (which was my answer for when I became a fan), they had clearly made an impression on me before that.  In fact I'm guessing I would have purchased Appetite sooner if I had money, but I was only 10 years old...still had to count on Mom and Dad for such purchases.  1988 was really a monumental year for me as a music fan, because I had went from owning 4 cassette tapes to suddenly becoming obsessed with buying music that summer, and Gn'R had a lot to do with that.   

What's your favorite?
- Better 29,59%
- There was a time 22,19%
- The Blues 16,71%

Will these remain the favorites after a year or so?
