Słash Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Many people don't put their real name cause I assume they don't want to reveal things about themselves to random people on the internet or well whatever reasons. So how you came up with your username here and what is the meaning behind it?Im a big fan of Slash, so well that came from there, I have been using the name Slash Stradlin or Slashy Stradlin since a a very long time, I went in by that name to Chats of other bands I liked, I was never a forum type of a person. I just this site just cause I wanted to ask Marc some questions and thought to sign up and well I stayed on, I wanted to make my user name as Slash007, but that was taken, so I made it Slash787Im a big aviation enthusiast and a pilot too, I don't fly commercially, so the 787 comes from the Boeing 787. So thats how Slash787 came.What is your story? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Changed my nick after the Axl chats because I thought the song name sounded cool.Used to have the nick "Agathos" which I believe translates to "good" and came from a very old Vampire the Masquerade character I had.

Cosmo Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Well, first of all... It was Cosmonaut, which is my favorite song ever. It's by Wolfmother on the album Cosmic Egg. And I had a Schnauzer called Cosmo. He passed away last year, so I changed it on his memory and because everyone called me Cosmo here anyways. Well, RIP Cosmo. Love you, boy.

Len Cnut Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) The name Len is just a continuation of an old username, since which ive always tried to keep that name in my screename so its obvious its me, dirty lenny the pornographer was something Lenny Bruce satyrically called himself, which went to sugaraylen as in the boxer which went to Lennie Godber whoose a character from a prison sitcom called Porridge, ending in what i have today, Len B'stard which I originally was gonna called Lenny Bastard like Vyvyan Bastard out of the young ones, before settling on Len B'stard as in the ficticious Tory MP Alan B'stard from The New Statesman (cheers McLeod).Might change it to Len Brennan next, keep the theme going!

JeanGenie Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I chose the nick JeanGenie because that was my favorite Bowie song. I kinda thought that choosing a guns n roses related nick on a GnR message board was like bringing spaghetti to italy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracii Guns Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 My first username here was Minnie Mouse. I spent at least 15 minutes trying every 'cool' username, but they were all taken. I got bored and tried Minnie Mouse as a joke and it was available.I changed it to Gracii Guns within a year of joining. It's pretty obvious if you're familiar with Tracii.

spunko12345 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 To be honest I haven't got a clue. And why I put the 12345 on the end is a mystery to me. It's as if I thought there'd be loads of people wanting the name spunko so I'd better make mine unique, like a password :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
