Flashback: Guns N' Roses Rise From the Ashes at Rock in Rio 2001

Make haste!

Jeez, that brings back some memories of how things were on the GN'R fan boards back then.

I don't remember what she said, but around that time, there as a board on the official GN'R site as well, GNRonline....

It's almost crazy to think that it's been nearly as long from this Rio show to now as it was between Argentina 93 and Rio 2001.

Actually it's been nearly twice that time. 

Good point... I was actually doing math from 93 to the CD release and 2001 to now... funny how time seems to disappear following this band though the years

I remember this. Saw gnr in classic rock mag and was like 'omfg' oO

then I remember I talked to mom about it and stuff she said axl still looked well.

I actually do not remember you from those days Jarmo.  Was 'Jarmo' your user name on GNRonline back then as well?  I have such fond memories of GNRonline as I've mentioned here before.  It was the wild wild west of the Internet in those days.

[jarmo]

I don't even remember if I posted anything on GNRonline....

I vaguely remember reading that forum. Wasn't Axl posting there as well, or am I mistaken?

I know there were always rumors of that, but I have not idea how true they were.  I am quite certain that board was shut down after some one posted Axl's home phone number.  I remember how disappointed I was when I went to visit that board and it was gone without warning.

Unmoderated message board? Now that's a great idea....

Crazy.
When i got in this game, the closest thing to a official gnr website was Here today . I kinda remember the gnronline main page. but there was no info on anything. Just a gnr logo and a text saying online store coming soon. Or at least thats what i remember.

 I also remember buying the 'end of days'-soundtrack and cranked out omg daily. i was so psyched lol

Live Era was promoted on the front page of GNRonline for a good while. I remember you could stream a couple of the songs as well, It's Alright was one of them I think.


Do you guys remember the short period where they had the Chinese restaurant themed webpage? I can't remember if it was gnronline or gunsnroses.com.

The graphics was professionally done, I liked it. Anywhere one can see some screenshots of that?

I was a lurker there for quite some time, so many rumors have gotten blown all out of proportion about events and posters.

The IP wasn't hidden, so they had a field day- don't remember any phone # being posted.

I thought the trolling was bad then
