How obsessed are YOU with Gn'R?

[kiss-from-a-rose]

 I'm 18 and do agree. That's lame nowadays...
 

[Elrothiel]

Oh yea, no doubt about it, I would too!
And yea, I'm extremely obsessed with Gn'R and Axl. Every time I go to the bar at my college I HAVE to play SCOM, and because its the only Gn'R song on it, I always have a go at whoever's bartending, demanding to know why. I wear a bandana constantly, excepting for when I'm asleep or washing my hair, and my friends give me issues magazines that have pictures of Axl in them, even though I may already have them, and if I'm doing my work, and someone a bit away from me wants to get my attention, then he or she only needs to mention Axl Rose and/or Guns N' Roses.
And did I mention my boyfriend looks like Axl?
And I made an enquiry to http://www.smellyourmum.com asking them if they could make bandanas, and t-shirts that have Axl and/or Gn'R related slogans on them!
And probably the most crazy thing I do is try to spell out Axl or GnR with the letters on car number plates. Does anyone else do this (who lives in England) or am I the only one?
So looooooooooong!

my parents don't give me enuff money. so i hav 2 wait for the albums to go cheap before i can buy em. evry 1 of my m8s thought i was mad so i made em watch a Guns N' Roses 1hr long dedication where they played most of the GN'R videos. On my school bag, i decor8d a patch with Guns N' Roses. as 4 the letters on number pl8s...well... im 2 yung but yeh i wud do such a thing. on my CD rack, the only Cds i've listened 2 r the Guns n' Roses. evry thing else is crap 2 me. i cant posters on them n e where. i decor8 my skool diary with piks of GN'R. WHEN people look at them they say they r old and gay. i dont giv a shit. i visit this site 3 times a day. by the way, where in england do u liv? i wanna c that bandana stuff u were on about?

Hell yea!! I've done that on my bag I take to college... well actually I've written in big huge letters GUNS N' ROSES and its got little stars all around it! Well, with the number plate thing, I just look at all the number plates I see, and if they have 2 or 3 letters that remind me of Gn'R or Axl, then I'm happy. For example, if I see that  the last 3 letters are AKL, I mentally change the K into an X, or when I see LXA, I get really happy because then I think to myself "Hey! That's AXL backwards!" and I see GNR quite commonly on number plates! I've yet to see a proper AXL, but... it'll happen one day!! Just like Chinese Democracy!

i've already posted in this thread...
but today i was driving back from my shop (i do catering)
i was in a kinda 'blah' mood 
and while sitting waiting for a light my thoughts drifted to the GN'R shows at the HardRock in Vegas...
and sitting there alone I envisioned Axl performing no more than 10' from me
and i recalled the joy and excitement of that time
and i couldn't help but smile to myself
as I made my turn and came down the final stretch to home
i thought about seeing GN'R live again
and it really lifted my mood

I used to be a total GNR freak and i was so madly in love with Axl about 10 yoears ago, but not anymore. I do love their music and i do visit this board every fucking day, but i?m not so obsessed whit them anymore.

Here's something many of you will find funny: I'm not obsessed.

I listen to the songs (but not all the time, it goes in cycles), I read the news articles, I go see their shows if I have the chance and happen to have a web site about them.

I don't sit and wonder "what's Axl doing now?", "wonder if CD will be released on vinyl?", "wonder if Slash had any Guinness today?", "Where's Izzy?" or anything like that.

I think thats a good thing, its important to have some sanity around here! 

[Tj]

I haven't listened much to Gn'R for about three months now. They're still my all-time favourite band, but I'm not particularly obsessed with them.

[BaDoBsEsSiOn418]

Yea, Jarmo seems to like to mention that he isn't like some fans who wonder all the time when CD will come out or what Axl's eating for dinner...it's nice to make the people who come to your message board feel like losers...

Yeah right. I didn't use the word losers.

If you feel like a loser because of what I said, then that's your problem.

The misconseption seems to be that just because I happen to have a web site dedicated to the band, I'm the most "obsessed" fan there is. That's not true.

"wonder if CD will be released on vinyl?"

today was the first time i thought about that

"wonder if Slash had any Guinness today?"

who cares?

uhm...,

ok, you know a lot gnr at least, gotta find a dictionary.... shall we see.... obsessed?

is that when you lock the door after buying cd

[Luigi]

Even the haters are obessed, can you imagine all the haters that are bashing cause there hurt. That's one big obsession, you may be obsessed with the fact that CD has'nt been released or anything GNR news related. Love or hate em, were all obsessed in one way or another. Don't analyze the degree of obession, were all guilty of it in some passionate way.

I agree to a certain degree.

The way I see it is that some are obsessed, others are just more passionate about the band.

Being obsessed to me isn't something that sounds like a positive thing.

Or just retarted?

[damnthehaters]

I wouldn't say that I'm obsessed, I would just say that I really really like Axl and GNR. ?I started getting into GNR when I was in high school, then started heavily getting into them in college. ?There are a lot of reasons why I started to like GNR so much but two stick out in my mind. ?

1) ?Is the fact that my girlfriend dumped my ass about three years after I really started to listen to GNR. ?When this happened, I really felt a connection with GNR's music from songs like November Rain, Don't Cry, Used To Love Her, Patience, Back Of Bitch, etc. ?

2) ?AXL! ?In my mind, he is the best frontman ever to lay a foot on a stage. ?I left a message on here a few days ago as a reply to someone who just doesn't understand. ?I'll post it below for you guys to read. ?The first quote is me replying to a message of why Axl shit's on his fans. ?The second qoute is the response I got, and the third quote is how I responded. ?

Ok, Bono is Bono, not Axl Rose. ?

Why does or doesn't Axl do all these things? ?Because he is Axl fucking Rose, and believe it or not, this is why I love the guy. ?Everytime Axl does shit like this, in my mind, he is more bad ass. ?He does whatever the fuck he wants to, and nobody's going to get in his way. ?There are very few people like this in this world today. ?I personally think this is why a lot of people like him. ?I went to the Tacoma WA show in 2002. ?The show right after Vancouver got cancelled. ?There were tons of Vancouver fans who came down for the show. ?Now, why would they do that after what Axl did to them? ?Because with all the shit that Axl pulls, people still love him. ?

Yea, because of morons like you, Axl & his fanboys worshipers are considered a joke by anyone with half a brain. The more he shits on you, the more you love it & ask for more. No wonder axl hold his "fans" in such low regard. You're a bunch of doormats. Don't worry, Axl will keep treating you & your ilk like garbage, so he'll still be "badass" in your pathetic little axl worshiping world.

Moron, pathetic? ?Now why do you have to go and say things like that?

Yeah, I love Axl. ?Because of everything he has done. ?His stage presence, his style, his voice, his writing, his fuck you attitude, his rythem, his bandana, his tight shorts, his kilt, his perfectionism, etc. ?I could go on and on. ?He is #1 in my book. ?When I listen to Rock N Roll, I don't need some lame ass nice guy up there doing just what people like you want. ?I don't need someone to be my friend. ?What I need is someone who breaks the rules, takes me away from the everyday world. ?Sorry for really really really liking one of the best frontmen of all time.

Sorry dude



Anyway, you guys may think I'm crazy, but this is why I love Axl Rose. ?Why, because he is different than anybody else out there and will do anything, very original. ?Here's an example. ?I went to a Tool concert a few years ago. ?The lead singer (Maynard) stood in one place the whole show and didn't do a damn thing to excite the crowd. ?Now to me, I need a frontman up there that has some excitment and can get the crowd involved. ?I'm pretty sure you guys know what Axl is like on stage, especially when he was younger. ?Running around, jumping around, flipping people off, grabbing his croch, wearing different and unusuall outfits, screaming, drinking, etc. ?I love that shit.

HELL..... FUCKIN..... YEAA!!!!!! I can't understand the people who worship all the "stars" who give advice and always go out looking their best, and try to be your best friend . Fucking hell! I'd much rather he or she had enough respect for themselves to realize that they don't need the whole world to be their best friend. People who do that get really shocked when the papers print bad shit about them, so if you go the other way, and do completely controversial things and be like Axl, then you won't be shocked or upset when the papers print bad shit about you. People like Axl get so much more respect than people like Britney. You could probably really annoy Bitchney, and nothing would happen except she'd get upset and get her bodyguards to hit you, but if you annoyed Axl, he'd tell you, and fucking punch you himself. So, you KNOW not to mess with Axl!! But its perfectly OK to be insanely annoying and bitchy to Bitchney. If she slapped me, I'd slap her back . If a Bitchney fan got punched by Axl, he'd no way punch back!

Axl = HELL YEA!!! 
Bitchney = FUCK OFF AND DIE!!

[estranged88]

..pretty obsessed.

I have all the albums
2 shirts
1 hoodie
all the making of the videos
a bumper sticker
an air freshaner
about 4 bootleged concerts
a wallet
3 posters
a patch

......probably some other stuff that i can't remember right now.



..I'm losing touch with gnr though because i have realized how helpless waiting for CD to come out is.

they will always be my favorite band because of the music they have made, but ive sort of "played out" alot of thier songs due to lack of quantity.

[Jaded]

I'm not at all obsessed... i haven't even listened to them in a while. don't think i'm saying i don't like them anymore... i just keep finding new bands i like and i'll listen to them non-stop for a few months and then find something else... i'll still listen to the other things occasionally though. There are also bands i love who i never have got into the cycle of listening to non-stop (like Green Day).... which is kinda a good thing cos you don't get bored of them so quickly.
Ones i can remember (listening to non-stop):
Eminem (this was when i was about 12)
RHCP
Gn'R
RHCP... again
Gn'R... again
Pearl Jam
Boomtown Rats
