[budmaster]

Ah well, back to lurk mode!

Peace

[gnr1967]

Member since 2002, but lurked on forum as a guest before that.  I still remember the pre-Jimmy Fallon days on this forum ... things were slow but still interesting. 

[norway]

same here, 10+

[Voodoochild]

My account dates to 2004, but I was registered before (don't remember why I left, or if it had a server reboot or something).

I remember I found this site after visiting everyday the GNR Warehouse (where I first discovered demos like Crash Diet), which is basically before 1998. Yeah, I'm that old. But so is jarmo.

[Bridge]

I've been here over 10 years as well.

Something interesting is that a number of the moderators here like Laura and Sukie have not posted here in years, but they are still listed as mods. 

[CheapJon]

Was lurking here a lot 10 years ago. Finally joined right before Rock in Rio 2006. It's been weird.

[BlowUpYourVideo]

I'll reach ten years this year as well. Sure, I last visited here in 2012, but whatever.

[AxlsMainMan]

13 years. Shit, I'm old

[Mr. Nik™]

 

11 years and 2 months for me

[Dr. Blutarsky]

2002 for me. But lurked right after Rio happened.

Before then I'd go to Barnes and Noble and read the music mags for info in the dark days of the late 90's hoping for some news.

Nice seeing you again, chap!

Tally ho there! Thought I'd poke my head in here again after all the reunion hype. Hope you're well!

[MrMojoRa]

15 years. Quit came back. Started as K-Rock.

Had some wild times back in '01, '02 when I joined.

Some past notable posters from that time period:
55555 (LA area guy who claimed to have run into Izzy in a bar after the '02 cancelled tour; where Izzy allegedly told him that Axl was in a bad state of mind not knowing if he'd ever release ChiDem)
GitFuckedUp (openly loved ALL drugs)
Christ Misfit (full time drunk Irish moderator who told everybody off.....daily)

I remember an invasion by a trio from some Van Halen message board who were shown the door by a rally of HTGTH members.

Wonder if Misfit is still alive?!?

[Voodoochild]

^ Yeah, I remember those guys.

Also, where is Christos? And chineseblues?

Also, who remember that fake insider from 2002 who posted false hints about the band with emoticons/emoji? Can't remember his nickname...

[Bazfreak]

Member since 2006 but I think I lurked here since 2003/2004.
Not very much active member because I wasn't much of a supporter of the CD line-up, but I was always around to find out what was happening with the band 

[Bridge]

Who remembers Latigo Hammers, who posted on here claiming to be a the real Axl Rose, and convinced a lot of people he was!  Of course, until Axl's management issued a statement saying he wasn't and threatening legal action if he kept claiming he was.   

[MrMojoRa]

Are you talking about PURE? I think he posted on another board.

There was one here as well. Forget his name.

Regrading Latigo Hammers, I remember him opening a personal chat room through MSN messenger that many people entered to talk to him all day long about topics as mundane as yogurt.

[Voodoochild]

Hahaha yeah, it's him. What a douchebag. People believed him because he kinda got lucky predicting the VMA 2002, even though the rumor was already floating around.

I don't remember the name of that another board, but I liked there. I think that's why I didn't have an account here for some years.

Wow, awesome. I remember back in the day when we ran thenewguns she wanted me bad lmfao. 

[Voodoochild]

Hahaha, it happens.

[jameslofton29]

Where is my old buddy rainX?

I thought I saw him posting here about a week ago under a different screen name. Sounded like him and even mentioned a long gone web site but didn't say the name(I thought he might have meant newguns). I sent him a PM but it wasn't him.

Last time I talked to rainX was in 2008 when Shacklers leaked.

Lots of interesting characters from those "good old days". I always wondered what happened to nesquick. Had a really strange obsession with Fortus that went way beyond the usual hardcore Fortus fans. His Buckethead hate was legendary. When the leaks happened he was saying how beautiful the Fortus solos were and it was proof that the "robot with no emotion" Buckethead wasn't needed. Someone emailed Fortus asking him about the leaks and he said it wasn't him and was actually Buckethead. We all knew this of course but this news caused nesquick to disappear. I made some joke about nes offing himself but its really not a joke. I wish he would've dropped in somewhere just to let us know he's alive.

You could spend a long time namedropping people. I loved Saul with his "Chinese Democracy starts now!" posts that he used with perfect comedic timing.

EvaGNRAxlRosette.....ppbebe.....AxlRoseVen(what a nut).....Gigger....davegnr2k....BookerFloyd.....SLCPUNK...prometheus...Philly Riot....Rocket Queen...Stoner...Thorazine.... Mike Giuliana....list goes on and on and on....

Great to see BlowUpYourVideo and Richard Nixon in this thread.  Haven't seen a post from you guys in a coon's age.

[Voodoochild]

Wow, I remember davegnr2k's meltdown. That was some serious shit hahahahaha

[jarmo]

Some got banned along the way, and a decade later, some things haven't changed.

I do find it funny how I, when see posts telling myself to fuck off or something along those lines, then that person gets banned, and I'm the asshole. 



/jarmo

[AtariLegend]

Wow, I remember davegnr2k's meltdown. That was some serious shit hahahahaha

dave's every other post is still about jarmo on the other forums. His heart was broken.

[Eazy E]

The board must have been revamped in 2002?  That is last post I can find under my profile, but I'm sure I was lurking here before that (at least since RIR3?)... I remember getting my GNR news from some website called CDNow.com and it only had like 3 headlines over 10 years, until "Axl Rose Impresses Vegas With His New Guns N' Roses" showed up and I started visiting here instead - anticipating that a new album was right around the corner!   

Fuck, I've wasted so much time reading pointless BS on here.  I'm sure a few good things have come from it... maybe I discovered some new bands or something.

I remember "mikegiuliana" (?) and "Mr. Roboto" going back and forth in some argument one time.  I think he posted a picture of himself shirtless and issued a fight challenge... or maybe it was another board and then mikegiuliana joined this board afterwards.  Also some drunk poster named horsey who would send PMs of her tits - not as exciting as it sounds, believe me!

[Bridge]

Wow, I remember davegnr2k's meltdown. That was some serious shit hahahahaha

What happened there?  Did somebody finally start requiring him to type and spell properly?   

[Voodoochild]

Can't remember that well. But what I do remember is that he was really pro-NewGNR, but he flipped and then started hating everyone suddenly.

[norway]

And D was 'who's the next one to snap?'

The board must have been revamped in 2002? 

It was the serverchange iirc. Many posts didn't make the export.

[D]

12 years 7 months but used to post in the guest book cause I didn't know what the fuck a message board was HAHHAHA

Lotta epic times
Remember when we all changed our shit to Ghostbusters?

Shit I earned my Karma, Jarmo shoulda banned me a few times hahahhaa

[C0ma]

Been here since well before the 2002 reboot of the site... while taking chunks of time off here and there. I bounced around other sites early on (I still miss the disaster that was gnronline.com) but settled on this one for a variety of reasons.

It's great seeing the names being mentioned in here, I recently went back and read through all of my posts, which then led me down a rabbit hole into the corresponding threads and remembering the personalities from the past.
and what it was like to finally put faces to names at Mustang Harry's back in 2006 for the Hammerstein shows.

I'm very thankful that this place and the people that make it up is still going strong after all these years.

[Lucky]

so this is the "no longer teenager" thread?

[Voodoochild]

I wasn't a teenager 10 years ago.

[Spirit]

Can't even remember exactly but I started visiting this site in the late 90s. It's been a wild ride, lots of ups and downs in the world of GNR. But definitely a fun time.

[Bridge]

I wasn't a teenager 10 years ago.

Sigh.  Neither was I.     I'm an old fart.   

[Lucky]

come to think of it.... neither was I

Before HTGTH, I used to read another forum about the band, but can?t remember the name

[norway]

(I still miss the disaster that was gnronline.com)

gnroffline was teh pwn

[Lucky]

I luved the hacked GNRonline

back then, even I was trying to hack that thing 

[Voodoochild]

Remember when we all got excited when it said "stay tuned for news and information on Chinese Democracy"?

[AtariLegend]

Remember when we all got excited when it said "stay tuned for news and information on Chinese Democracy"?

I think some of us try not to .

[Voodoochild]

Yeah I know. I was just amazed that it was 13 years ago.

[younggunner]

I have been a member since 2003 but have been lurkin since right around Rio 3.

Loving all of these names from the past. Great times.

[Eeebs]

I first joined in late November 2002... took a nine year hiatus, but am now checking back from time to time.

I remember a few of the above listed incidents. I also remember Aunt Ger (Dizzy's Aunt) and Lisa (Dizzy's now ex wife) also posted here occasionally way back when. I also remember Bi Polar and his gunsnroses.us website. I wonder if that place is still around?

Where has the time gone??

[unoturbo]

Oh wow I can still remember my password!!

I've not visited for a long time but joined in 2002, good to see the old band are getting together 

[jarmo]

Seriously?
Flashback Friday was yesterday.... 

Welcome back though.



/jarmo

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Rio 3 got me searching for GNR on the 'World Wide Web'. So much better than searching for GNR news in the music mags in Barnes and Noble and Books a million.   Got my 1st computer in late 2002 and signed up here not long afterwards and here we are....

[unoturbo]

Seriously?
Flashback Friday was yesterday.... 

Welcome back though.

/jarmo

Haha thanks.

I got in touch with the band and told them I'd post again if they got back together. Those sentimental fools.

[Axlfreek]

been a member since 2004. got banned in 2007 i think and jarmo was nice enough to let me back in. where did all of those years go?

[Jessica]

Registered here in 2002 but was on forums since 2000.
