How Pathetic are we?

[Smoking Guns]

What other message board has more members with more topics over basically nothing of any real substance.? I know we all come everyday/week in hopes for news on a new album and news on ex members.? But it so sad.? There isn't shit to really talk about.? We have analyzed every focking thing so many focking times, we start analyzing shit from the past, just to be interesting.? I can't think of any other band message board with as dedicated fans as we are.? I love it.? Though, it is still sad how much we are all into it.? I love how we make fun our selves too. Like when "Saul" says, "Chinese Democracy Starts now" over something stupid.? I almost laugh out loud every time.? Was the all time low topic, "Axl's Teeth"?? Anyway, don't have much to say other then we are one messed up group of fans, I love it, and I love GNR.? ?Now bring on CD!!? Or Bring on a Reunion.? FOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? Great forum Jarmo

I dont think we are pathetic. We are just passionate about a band whose music means so much to us. We are all a little wacked in the head, and sometimes dont agree on everything, but we are all in this together for a common goal. In the real world, Guns N Roses fans are hard to find. Years ago when GNR forums started showing up on the net, I realized there were people just like me in the world who lived and breathed Guns N Roses. I'm glad Jarmo created this site, and I'm glad we have this place to share our memories and dreams for GNR, and of course our wild speculation about Chinese Democracy. I truly consider you all "friends".

We all need something to live for.

Well, I don't really mean "pathetic".  I am basically just joking.  But what I like is how everyone's personality is kind of consistent and you kind of know how posters post.  Dave, Booker, Younggunner, Jamesloften, for a while Mysterion, and Darkmeus, Jarmo, Tomass, Saul, meanbone.  Its kind of cool seeing everyone eles's opions.  There are so many good posters too.  Are we almost like the BoSox fans when they had the curse?  Then when they got the world series, they didn't have that bond anymore.  Just kidding, when we get it, it will be bad ass.

good post man i feel ya on that

[FlashFlood]

sad but true, definitely somewhat pathetic to an extent

Smoking Guns, I hope you don't mind, but I used the first sentence from your first post as my first ever HTGTH sig! 

[Smoking Guns]

Hey, I don't mind at all.  Another member once used a line of mine when I said "Axl and Slash are the divorced couple that never got over their marriage".  If the album came out, we would be bombarded by a bunch of new members asking questions like, "why did this take so long?"  Who was Buckethead?  Where is Slash?  Just kidding.

Smoking Guns....good post dude....this just HAD to be said 

[mikegiuliana]

it is pathetic to a degree... A small bunch holding on to a dream, some that lived it already others that would like to experience it..
You have to just be glad the net exists or you would have to do like the old days hunting through magazines for little snips of info.. There are definetly delusional people here... I think when you love something or someone so much your mind gets clouded and you see what you want..

[jameslofton29]

I remember those days of looking through magazines hunting for the latest news. Now you get all the info and speculation you want at the click of a button. These new fans are so lucky!

You make a good point...when I was growing up listening to GN'R we had Kerrang, Metal Hammer and word of mouth. You accepted it and got on with it. In some ways I liked it...when you did find something, it was exciting. You craved it.

At least we had music!

Scabbie, no truer words have ever been spoken.

I use to love getting metal edge and looking through the metal wire.. ?Also hit parader had shit too.. It was much better then now.. Every body that starts some rumor can now be some credible source that might end up in one of these online line rock/metal rag sites. Back then when you read something it was most likely truth

[Scabbie]

The truth was more exciting aswell!

[jameslofton29]

Yeah, those were the days! My favorites were Circus, RIP, and Hit Parader. Circus had a GNR cover story almost every month. RIP was spectacular! Del James and Lonn Friend would give great GNR scoops that no one else had. They gave new song info, tracklists, etc. Now all we get is anonymous "insiders" telling info that never comes true.

[Scabbie]

You can't really blame the so called 'insiders' or people that try to solicit information. Maybe some of what they say is true, just doesn't work out. I agree there's probably a select few that get off on making stuff up. Its only the way it is because GN'R refuse to communicate and make it hard for the fans.

It is kinda pathetic, but you have to blame that on Axl for not caring enough about us fans to release any material or even give the tiniest statement on his site. ?You know it's funny, pre 2002, these boards were full of older fans that were waiting for Axl to reappear. Now they seem to be full of kids who think Axl and Chinese Democracy is going to be the second coming of christ.

no, u're very wrong,  Now they seem to be full of kids who loves the new cheap circus called "Rock Bands" like cold play, Avril Lavigne, simple plan, etc,     ...kidz today think Axl was a porno star or something but they don?t admit he was that special
