15 year girls give GNR fans a bad name

[Queen of Everything]

Ok.  I'm 15! I'm a girl! Im not like that at all!!  I must admit I don't like it too much when people only know a few GnR songs, but its better then listening to rap and pop all day and never knowing how awesome GnR is at ALL!  We all had to only know a little bit about GNR at one stage.  Even if it was only for a short period.

You wanna know what sucks? You're sitting in a full bus, this screaming girl, just about age 15 with a GN'R shirt starts to yell something "ROCK AND ROLL MOTHEFUCKER YEE! FUCK RAP FUCK RAP YEEYE IM COOL FUCK YE RN'R" and later start's to sing something from PC and SCOM WRONG. guess who also had a GN'R shirt? , what a pleasure.

[Queen of Everything]

Thats really horrible.  But What i was just trying to say was that not all 15 yr old girls are responsible.  and I'm sure theres just a many 30 year old males doing the same.  I hate posers just as much as anyone.  I'm sorry that you see 15 yr old gunners "fans" that way.  Some of us are in for the long haul.


I do, however, know what you mean.  I have a friend who started "loving" guns n roses just because a hot guy did.  The hot guy didnt believe her, but they are going out anyway!?

As long girls look great on that t-shirt I'm ok with it 

[dave-gnfnr2k]

Everyday 2 or 3 different(not the same 2 or 3 people) 15 year old (15 is a rough estimate) girls wearing "hot topic" GNR shirt come into my work shopping. They usually end up coming through my line, so ill start a conversation about Brownstone, nightrain or its so easy and they all give me a weird look like im crazy, then i say, well you are wearing a GNR Tshirt and those are GNR songs. Then I realize they only have the greatest hits (I figured it all along, but i really like making them look stupid). We truly live in a sad era where potential gnr fans will buy the greatest hits instead of appetite since they get all the hits off of appetite by buying the greatest hits.

If anyone should feel stupid its you. New people are trying to get into gnr and? you want to make fun of them? Real nice. Get off your high horse and get over yourself. Maybe they cant afford all the gnr albums and want to start off with GHs. Its people like you that give gnr fans a bad name.

Answer me this. Is a 20 year old kid who guys the blue and red beatle album not real fans because they were not alive when the  beatles were around?

Is a 20 year old kid who buys 40 licks to get into the stones  not a real fan because he was not around when the stones started?

[Sillything]

Whats wrong whith wearing a band tshirt even if you don't know all the songs? So if I own 4 records of The Ramones and I can't wear a Ramones tshirt because they have made like 20 records? Who cares?  Chinese Rocks is their best song anyway. Ok I'm a poser then and I wouln't mind someone wearing a GNR tshirt knowing only one song as long as the shirt looks good, and the girl looks good. Besides, what could be better than a girl posing in a GNR tshirt? I think there should be wet GNR tshirt contests, and wouldnt care if they played Motley during contests just as long as the tshirts were wet

I must say seeing people claiming to like older bands just cos it's cool to does indeed piss me off, and I'm only 16. But at the end of the day I don't really care because I know well that I actually do love all the old RnR bands and if pushed by some asshole to list off things I know about GnR, Sabbath or whatever could probably put him to shame. Although it is kind of annoying, there really is no need to humiliate casual fans of bands just because they aren't as obsessed as I am! 

[jabba2]

Axl needs the 15 year old genre if he wants Chinese Democracy to be successfull. Besides were all 15 at one point and we all know how posers are. Every age has got em. Not much anyone can do about them when they follow trends.

[vietnow138]

Im 15 years old (not a girl obviously) and i own every Gn'R album, know every song and most of the words too. I remember when the greatest hits commercial started airing on tv and a shit load of kids at school were talking about it, like how they ordered it and got a poster, one even asked me if they were gonna play the whisky when they saw my shirt, lol. I thought it was really cool because probobly now they would have more albums and be a bigger fan of them, so it only helps. Although I once asked a girl if she like Led Zeppelin (this was around the time when almost every rocker had the 1977 Zeppelin shirt). Her responce was "ohh they make cool clothes". I was speachless. I thought it was pretty funny actually, just as long as she didn't show up to school the next day wearing a zeppelin shirt.? ?

I first saw guns n' roses(well i saw Axl) on the mtv 2002 vmas. All the hype that surrounded that performance made me interested in them. Since then i have bought all their cd's, dvds(some bootlegs too like the riot show in St. Louis and Rock in Rio3), bought Contraband the day it came out, saw vr at the Wiltern the next day, and again in Santa Barbara. Imo the new fans are great, and they are who keeps Guns N' Roses going. And if some 15 year old chick is wearing a gnr shirt so fucking what? If they only have one album or they've only heard wttj or scom it means they think they kick ass and its them who buy Chinese Democracy and help them get back on top. At least they're not wearing a poison or hoobostank shirt.? 

[dave-gnfnr2k]

The GHs album is now the gate way for new gnr fans. They will buy it, and if they like the songs they will buy the rest of their albums and when CD comes out. That is a GOOD thing not bad.

Typical immature response from you.  YOu may not agree  with the guy. I don't either.  But why attack him personally like a little kid?  You call him stupid?   Tell him you disagree.  Tell him why you disagree. But why resort to personal attacks?  It only makes you look like a fool.

[You Gonna Eat That?]

Whats Wrong with 15 yr olds? Honestly

[renthispace]

If you don't like the band or know who the band are, then why the fuck would you want to wear their shirts?!?! It's stupid. 

[jameslofton29]

If you think that's stupid, how did you feel about rich kids shopping at thrift stores for flannel shirts in the grunge era of the early-mid 90's?

yeah, kids suck.

I do prefer the flannel look to a high school full of kids in bicycle shorts and Cory Glover skin tight wetsuits.

[IronMaiden415]

that's not fucking cool!  I'm a 15 year female old gnr fan who started my gnr collection with the greatest hits and ended up with all of their albums. not all kids nowadays are trendy posers. take it from me, i know i lot of hardcore motley crue, gn'r, iron maiden, and metallica fans my age. yes i know there are a lot of posers who simply like to be trendy and where the hot topic shirts, but you dont have to trun it into a generalization. instead you should be happy we're not listening to crap like green day and good charlote 

[AFD_Appetite_For_Duff]

that hurt i'm 15, a girl and i love GNR! i've never shopped at hot topic and i don't own GNR's greatest hits, but i do own AFD and i like all their songs, not just the greatest hits, so don't fall into stereotyping 15 yr old girls...but i must admit, i do know people who go around wearing band shirts and thinking they're all hardcore, it truly is laughable and disgusting. don't worry though, this is one 15 year old girl that won't give GNR fans a bad name

[ladora]

i'm a 15 year old girl, i started my collection with AFD (thanks to my cousin who in his 30s who introduced me to GNR)... then saved up my own pocket money to buy UYI I & II, GNR Lies, The Spaghetti Incident and the greatest hits... i'm currently saving up to buy the Welcome To The Videos dvd.

I'm not really into the whole music scene nowadays, i prefer the 80s stuff... like GNR, for example.?

[wheelz1045]

I dare not enter Hot Topic.
