BetterDay7 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) How often do you listen to GNR or the band's related components, past and present? (For example, Buckethead etc). As I am a fairly recent fan I obviously listen daily but what is it like if you've been a fan for decades? Do you retain affection for the band but do not listen to the music that often or are you still listening to them frequently? Interested to know.

GET OFF AXLS BACK Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Not one song in 6 months.Not that it's just GnR, I haven't had any interest in any music for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 A lot of my GNR listening is radio based nowadays. The local stations here play a ton of GNR so there's not much temptation to put any on independently. I do bust out CD on vinyl every other month or so though.

Strange Broue Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 GNR: daily. In the recent few days, i listened some CD and some live performances from 2001 onwards...Now it's time to celebrate their first show 30 years ago: so i will listen to the classic GNR discographyOther than this, i listen to some Slash solo material and occasionaly some Izzy material. other than that i don't give a fuck about any other members solo projects right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 GNR most days. The albums are all on my phone (plus loads of other stuff) I have it on shuffle a lot of the time but usually at least one GNR track plays at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacu44 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I listen to Izzy solo stuff and Duffs stuff on my commute to and from work every day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 The occasional GnR track when it pops up on the ipod's shuffle, sometimes I'll listen to the Democracy in Beantown bootleg (2002 show)Otherwise some Buckethead material daily, got bored with Velvet Revolver, Slash stuff, Izzy stuff, etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lies They Tell Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Well I have one Spotify playlist which contains all the music that I like. I listen to it almost daily on shuffle. A GNR song pop's up now and then. My estimation would be that I hear about 10 GNR related songs a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I listen to CD tracks or Izzy solo. Sometimes Slash solo tracks I like but rarely UYI or AFD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterDay7 Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 Diverse responses. Ah, the Spotify generation... Tried that for a while and liked but then reverted to antedeluvian measures: CDs, vinyl, and, yep, cassettes! I don't really listen to any music radio, just talk-based. If I get interested in something/someone I'll buy it cheap on CD. I very briefly popped into a punk festival earlier today (small scale, free entry) and in between the acts Mr Brownstone came on. Followed by Nirvana. Mr Brownstone, alive and smacked off his trolley in the back street pubs of northern England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsguy Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) All the time And even when I am not I am always singing some GNR tune around the house, in the car etc Edited June 6, 2015 by gunsguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Słash Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I listen to music everyday while going and coming back from work on my ipod, the songs are on a shuffle, so GNR songs do pop up, I just keep on changing the songs, the songs I look forward from GNR are Dont Cry, This I love and Street of Dreams. I do have stuff from Slash and Izzy too and always listen to them, there is Bumblefoot stuff also, but only 2 or 3 songs from his album which I like that would be the Title Track, Higher and Argentina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakey Styley Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 1-3 times a month, I think. I've just found more music since the days when I first discovered them and was listening every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spunko12345 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I haven't listened to the albums in years. I don't even own them on any format anymore (although I've purchased every album more than once over the years) but I heard You Could Be Mine the other day and remembered what an amazing song that is. It's made me want to get the illusion albums again for my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Signs Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Pretty much everyday since 1988. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Maybe once or twice a month on average. I have dry spells where I'll go months without listening to them at all - I do that with all bands really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristmasFnatic Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 GNR(AFD - TSI) almost daily. CD - havent for a year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towelie Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I don't listen to CD much, mainly because I played the shit out of it from 08-12 and it's taking a well-deserved break.I rarely listen to AFD, but sometimes pop on Lies or the Illusions albums if I'm in the mood.

WhazUp Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I haven't listened to them in a few months, except for what I hear on the radio. I basically come onto this site out of habit at this point, my passion for GNR is waaay less than it was a while ago. Inactivity is mostly what is killing me with GNR, there is nothing interesting to keep me latched on as a devoted fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
