The big HTGTH fan survey discussions / comments thread

[Evolution]

Something that details how many participants are from each country would be cool.

I loved the fact that when scrolling through that GNR really has a fan base that spans all ages.  That alone says something about their music.  There are the older die hards like me and teens on here that would even rival me on GNR knowledge and I think that's just great that is band is loved by so many!

A stat compilation would be nice though. I don't have that kind of patience but maybe someone else on here does?

people that listen to George Michael and Prince before getting into GnR and I thought i was bad with Dokken "we're the Dream Warriors, don't wanna dream no more"

Prince is my 2nd favorite act behind guns n roses.? He is talented.? You have to see him live to appreciate it. Unbelievable guitar player.

Lets not all forget Duff was a huge Prince fan, and I agree he is a very talented artist, I loved his music from the 80's.

By reading these surveys, I have found that I am probably oldest on the board so far at 41, but a very young at heart 41, still a big kid!!!

i don't have that much time, but i'll try to make a stat compilation of most of the questions. but gimme some time!

I just realised that all brazilian fans are really taking the South American tour in January for granted.

What if it doesn't happen?

judging by gn'r's extremely succsessfull history in south america i don't think theres much of a chance that they leave that part of the world out of the loop...

if it doesn't happen, it will be because gn'r is finished.

[erose]

it's actually pretty funny to read some of the answers.

this one from Supaplex cracked me up good.

If, yes, what's your favorite piece of memorabilia you have in your possession?


a muffler, bought it from two guys outside the arena in budapest this year

Or because a member left. It's not because it's in South America... It's purely because we are talking about GNR, you can't take things for granted, you just never know what will happen next.

Ok, I have to ask since I know a muffler to be a piece of a vehicle.  Does this word have some other type of meaning that I am unaware of?

People have faith, Mandy. Also, there is several emails from Richard saying they will be here in January, so why not have hope?

I hear you. But you're right... It's the least the brazilian fans deserve.

[babydolls]

Im starting to really think I am the only person to ever buy Duffs solo album.

I bought it the day it was released in 1993.....

/jarmo


You're not alone people!

[stvyrayvhn]

Damn great idea Jarmo!!!! Its great being able to have some fun with all the memebers on the board, while we wait for the US tour and hopefully a CD.

Im starting to really think I am the only person to ever buy Duffs solo album.

I bought it the day it was released but I didn't like it as much as I liked Neurtic Outsiders.

[Kujo]

I bought Duffs' CD the day it came out as well. He was hyping it up to be some big Punk Rock album. I must have bought the wrong one. Wasn't bad though. I enjoyed "The Majority" with Lenny Kravitz

[Spirit]
