Wives jealous of GNR?

[horsey]

you know if you can't share something that you both have in common.it's allways harder and stressful,but g n r stays in your life through good n basd times.
so life should be about given one another the things they enjoy.
both letten each other's lifestyes combine with there relationships.
nagging wives tend to drive men away to other women who have the same interest's.that's were affair's start,think about it ladies.less stress ta hear what your
man likes and dislikes,helps life,love n happyness.

Can you go through the festive period without GNR listening to sort of more suitable stuff

I've been trying even now when the wife is sleeping but I'm itching a bit.

Met my wife 4 years ago....
"Met" GnR in 1988...

She did the math...

She wasnt into GnR too much....She is now...Especially with DJ Ashba..

Last September, when i went to Belgrad to see the boys live, leaving her, the daughter, the mortage loan, my job, my work for a 48hrs sleepless trip, she finally got it, realised it, admitted it, excepted it:  dont stand between me and GnR - just flow with the water and everybody s happy 

PS: now she is hoping to see the boys live in 2011 - just to see what is so special about a GnR live concert

My wife's never been to New York (or the US) and I haven't been there for nearly 20 years (went to the US last winter though) so I am so much hoping for that rumoured or hoped tour to come. She's mentioned a couple of times why not go to NY, I want to see it. We're Europeans.

If and when the tour dates are confirmed I'll book it straight away, of course, without telling her about the gig at first but before the departure just to be on the safe side. She will go mad "is this why we're going there, I really thought..." (what will she think, who knows about those women) 

I'd imagine there would be more than one date there, just exactly how am I going to explain that yes darling, we go there again tonight. Or at least I will

My gf has gotten used to my obsession a long time ago.

im jealous of my misses obsession over DJ

[Is he struggling?]

A funny thing happened to me a couple of months ago.

I was on a date with a an cute, intelligent and funny lady a couple of months ago. Things were going well until we got onto the subject of music, and I mentioned that I was going to see G n' R  next week (at the o2 London, for those of you that care). At that point, she gave me a look of complete disdain and revulsion. The date was all downhill from there, I'm afraid. I must have really hit a raw nerve when I mentioned this. Later on that evening I said (very matter-of-factly) that I wasn't fan of one of her favourite artists, she snapped back, in the sneeriest tone of voice you could imaginbe, 'well I don't like Guns N' Roses'. We never spoke again after that night.

Come to think of it, if she's the type to get snippy over something like my musical tastes (which actually, apart from G n' R, were similar to mine), our relationship wasn't going to go anywhere.

I've occasionally wondered what G n' R did to upset her so. Maybe an obnoxious ex of hers liked them? Perhaps Axl stubbed a cigar out in her eye one time ? Mybe her dog got run over by their tourbus? Anyhow, none of that matters now, because the story has a happy ending. The gig was of course awesome, and I've since found another fine lady to share my musical tastes with. (Before you ask, I haven't mentioned my 11 year affair with Uncle Axl yet. And if she turns her nose up, then I'll guess I'll just have to listen to G n' R in spare room or somehing )

It's been a long time since Gnr were in the mainstream limelight, a household name, so I think we hardcore fans sometimes forget just how repulsive, vulgar, and controversial Gnr actually were. They were the biggest band in the world, but they were also the band people loved to hate. They have always been a very "polarizing" band. People don't just "like" or "dislike" Gnr, usually I find it is love or hate. They induce some pretty intense feelings.
Many people viewed them as misogynistic, racist, homophobic, profane, juvenile, and not to mention that they thought they glorified drug use.

Perhaps it was Gnr's misogynistic reputation that turned her off? She could've just gotten out of an abusive relationship. Some girls also view Gnr as a macho, jock rock band who appeal to jocks, muscle heads, frat boys, Nascar/Wrestling fans, whitetrash, etc. Some people (usually feminists, Tori Amos and Cold Play fans) think they are too sophisticated and classy to like Gnr.

Today, you will find some soccer moms still jamming out to Gnr on 80s nights, etc. But for the most part, today's soccer moms were more into Bon Jovi and Poison back in the day.

I never thought of that. Good point SkeletorSerpent. I wonder if the acres of negative press coverage that the new line up have recieved recnetly (especially here in the UK) had anyhitng to do with it. Anyway, I ain't going to dwell on it too much. If someone would think that I'm some sort of macho meathead for liking Guns N' Roses (and if you were to meet me on the street, it would be plain that I most definitely am none of those things), then I'm better off without them.

interesting thread..........funny how people tend to think your musical taste is something you will "outgrow", especially if you listen to rock and roll.

Never had a problem like this, even my 71 year old mother really like Guns and Axl.

Not so remarkable when you think about it, back in the day, they would be in their late forties when AFD came out, now approaching that time of life myself, there are new acts that I really like. The bottom line is good music is timeless and to prove it, how many of us like songs/albums/artists that were at their peek before we were born. I know I have at least 1000 songs (out of 10,000ish) on my iPod from pre-1964 (the year I was born).

Thank god for Spotify, the try before you buy (ok find a bit-torrent and then download ) answer to getting a good party going...
