The GN'R Community

[Giant_Robot]

When i first joined GN'R forums for the first time back in 2006, I thought the GN'R community was the bee's knee's and the fans were harcore in a good way but how wrong was i, The truth is that it is one of the worst on the internet because most members now just like to flame other members, they love blaming axl in every possible way and they think that axl owes them somthing and they like posting noobish comments on other peoples idea's. When i first join the community i must admit i wasnt a good member at all and failed to put any sense into my posts so i had a 8 month break from the forums and everything to do with gnr, When i came back i thought to myself lets try posting some positive posts or some constructive posts which i did, in the gnr marketing theard: http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=42810.40
The first repley i got was

Announce the release date, put out a single, release album.
That should work.

Well were wouldnt of thought of that would we, That is the majority of the GN'R community today and that what they post, posts that are shallow with no thought put into them !
Then on cd.com i got more dumb posts Like these :

hmm marketing ideas.. 

how about a fucking announcement, anything..   my braids fell out while dealing with the record company and I am now bald, see ya in 2012 as I must wait for my cornrows to return...

Also

I thought we already had this thread, and sure, better than spam, not as fun as fake leaks.  And he thinks they should play a show in china, a realistic idea is one thing, this idea is just fantasy.

I laughed my self silly when this one was posted and just posted this: http://www.mygnr.com/bootleg/2002/Hong_Kong/Hong_Kong.html

There were other ones as well but i already got 3 examples and the list goes on and on !

Then i was talking to a well known member of the commuinty and i thought well i might get some feedback but i was wrong again it was all negative and  very arrogant only thinking about there personal situtation and what they could or couldnt afford, and how GN'R doesnt need the money, That is a well known member of the community. Its terrible !

There was one more post i did with some ideas why digital downloading was good for cd and this is what i got:

Nope. I'll get it from my mate for free when it's downloadable and buy it when it's in the cd store, like most people.
Digital downloads are fucked.

Typical and people wounder why axl hasnt released cd.

Not all members are like this there some clever nice people but there surounded by idiots !
Here Today Gone to hell is the best forum on the net because of jarmo and i hope he gets his forum the way he wants it ! without noobs on it !

Thanks

I get where you're coming from, AFI - If I were you, I'd stay here. Mygnr is the worst for flaming Axl and all the shit you pointed out in the first post.

Yeah this forum is the best by miles !
I agree Mygnr is terrible, but cd.com is nearly as bad, If axl thought the internet was garabage back in 2001 he should check it out now there isnt words that could describe what the community has become.

[Jim Bob]

mygnr is a safe-haven for axl bashers and generally a slash propaganda machine.     disgusting indeed.

As fucking annoying as mygnr is to read at times, it obviously has it's good sides.
Atleast you can log in mygnr and be  certain that if something interesting GNR related has happened  you get to know about it, read about it and talk about it.
in HTGTH, you don't have that luxury.

Can't we all get along?

Come on group hug ,everybody.

[lynn1961]

Awwww.......group hug!  We need to do that!  I'm there!  (Wait a minute, who's touching my...what are you doing?!?)

Sorry! My hand slipped.

AFI, Yeah, The Jman keeps the BS to minimum here. Though, some of it still filters through, most of us will "have your back" when it rears it's ugly head.

U mean we are suppose to be Guns N Roses fans?

I missed the memo



I listened to AFD today on Vinyl for the first time.  Damn that Robin Finck is a genius!

First you must know that forums are mostly used by people between 12-17 YO, /relatively young people.
And then some patience

Yes, this is the best place but also it seems Jarmo think that has be at the expense of being open/inclusive. Which I disagree with.

[Voodoochild]

Funny how there are some posts here that does exactly what the guy was complaining about.

I agree with you, Norway, we really need to have some patience.

[polluxlm]

People will be people. Kids will be kids. An inordinate amount may be both.

[ppbebe]

Kids grow up while grownups age.

Isn't that only great?
if you think about that the most 'real' fans were under 17 when they jumped on the band wagon.....

U know whats crazy


I was 12 when I bought GNR's last original album.


I am now almost 30 and there hasn't been an album the entire time.


I love Axl more than my own life, but to think he basically did nothing in his prime is astounding.


Kind of like when Micheal Jordan left the Bulls to go play baseball for 2 years.

[Kujo]

Its not sports. Whos to say when a musician is in their prime? Springsteen, Dylan, Rush, Ozzy, Clapton, The Cult are just a few artists that have put out some of their best material in the last few years.

[D]

Yeah but think of all the amazing music he could've done over the last 2 decades. Of course he accomplished more in the 5 year time span than most ever will but it is awesome to think of all the stuff and different styles etc he could've already put out.

Im actually quite fascinated with the prospects of an album in the vein of Oh My God. I think it could've been innovative and amazing.
