On this day in 1996...

[jarmo]

The first version of my Guns N' Roses fan site (or home page as we called them back then) went online.

19 years later, Happy birthday to us!

Thanks to the GN'R family, those who've helped and the fans for these first 19 years!




Feel free to share your GN'R and/or HTGTH related memories from the last 19 years here if you want.

When Axl's fax then hit 5 days later, were you thinking "oh...SHIT"?

happy Anniversary! We don't always see eye to eye but this is a great site. 

[JAEBALL]

I come here to shoot the shit pretty much every day... I'm very appreciative of the entertainment it brings me.

Thanks for that.

Yeah, its the most serious of all the GNR boards, this place.  We'd be worse off without it.

I cannot for the life of me post anywhere else anymore but for an occasional thought here and there.  Most of the other sites seem to be taken over by 15 yr old south american fans in desperate need of a high prozac dosage.  At the very least, this place offers pretty decent conversations with only minimal brain damage inflicted.  And if by some miracle a new album materializes, I cannot imagine there will be a happier place than this board.

Happy Anniversary HTGTH!! Great site. Keep up the good work Jarmo!

The funny thing is that I didn't.
I didn't think it'd be the end of GN'R.

I just kept typing up articles from my old magazine (yes, typing. This was before scanners were the norm) and trying to figure out what else to add to the site.
And when there were news of any kind, I put them on the site.... Things were a bit quiet back then.

Happy 19th to HTGTH, its been a great place for GNR fans and was a truly life changing thing when I came across this place back in 2000. The amount of people I have have gotten to know and in a lot of cases met who share the same passion I have for this band is nothing short of fantastic, so thank you jarmo.

I started coming here shortly after Rio 2001...my name was Madagas then. Jarmo, through thick and thin you have maintained a great site.

I thought it were Slashs parts and Paul "imitated" them because Axl said so.

great tune. Slash said you here the band breaking up and he wasn't into it because of the whole PAul Huge drama but I tinnk it's great. I also dig the question-answer soloing which Axl wanted. Slash didn't want to do it but fortunately he gave in and kept the f'n thing going...

I may not be here everyday but this site will always be home. And always be where I relay on real news! Thanks Jarmo!

I remember stumbling on HTGTH when taking a web design course at lynn community college.
Apparently I decided to catch up on GN?R rather than pay attention to the class I was paying for..
Must have been ?99, ?00 or so. I?d come back every now and again to check any news, and didn?t join the message board until a few years back.

I find the extreme contrast in opinions of the posters on this site as interesting, probably moreso at this point as any GN?R related news.
Even though I seldom agree with many here, for the most part the conversation is civil, and the site well run.

[14 Yrs Of Silence]

I started coming to this site nearly everyday hoping for news starting around 2002.  My first post on the board wasn't until July 1, 2005, where after a long silence I asked a stupid question that had probably been asked many times over.

Whats up folks.  I've been coming to this website nearly everyday now, for several years.  Used to go to to site called lostrose.com before this one.  Very frustrated but still hopeful.  Do you think Axl has given up?  Makes me think of that movie the Aviator.  Is Axl holed up in his mansion? 

Six months later Axl appeared at the Korn party.  Its been a blast coming here.  Thanks for keeping it going Jarmo.  Here's to the hoping that we'll be discussing songs from the next release when the 20th anniversary arrives!

I started checking the site for headlines back in 1999 while living in California.  I didn't know about the messageboard until sometime later, then I'd start checking more often.  This was and still is the best site for anything newsworthy 

Thanks Jarmo!

Congrats jarmo and team! 

cheers from gnrla.com

[GypsySoul]

I remember 55555 calling me pseudo-educated in response to my first post on HTGTH. 

Congratulations, Jarmo!
Thanks for all you do!!!

Congrats Jarmo, I've been coming here for I believe nearly all of those 19 years.  I submitted some news for your news section back in the day as well!  I give you credit for keeping me interested in this band for as long as I have.
