bacardimayne Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I don't even have a favorite band/artist anymore. Just a 1,200 song Spotify playlist. I've transcended giving a fuck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Usually a mention of 'Guns N' Roses' amid the plebeian masses instigates a response with the words ''cheesy'', ''hair' and ''1980s'' in a single sentence (order, variable) followed by a declamation upon Axl Rose being a ''complete wanker''. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 What would chicks know about music anyway? If you're a teenager I guess this stuff is a bigger deal but I've never had a partner/girlfriend/whatever who liked all the same music I did, one came close but didn't like cock rock stuff like GNR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgy Zhukov Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I can probably narrow it down to ten bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 My favourite rock acts are my 1950s chaps, Chuck, Little Richard and Elvis - they all come before gnr. I also prefer Neil Young/Crazy Horse and the Strolling Bones. I prefer the Shangri-Las also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoSoRose Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Pretty sure my gf despises gnr but is to polite to say it. She fell asleep at a slash show I dragged her to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually liked them (at the time) but I must have been tired. I remember they had this big lanky dancer who spent the whole concert skipping side ways (facing the crowd) down the stage. Back and forth he went. It just goes to show that you do not need any discernible talent to be in a band. They fell off the earth, didn't they? They were massive during the Fat of the Land period (this was when I saw them) - as big as the biggest bands at that time such as Oasis - then disappeared overnight. I think they had some Chinese Democracy style saga with a follow up album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect the guy I'm with to like all the bands I like, but him not being into music at all is a deal breaker. 33 minutes ago, DieselDaisy said: I once fell asleep during a Prodigy concert.

Quote I was thinking about this and realized I'd probably fall asleep at a U2 concert. They're way too dangerous for me to fall asleep to. Convulsions, vomiting, that sort of response they'd likely evoke in me in a live setting. Nausea they manage just through the radio, such is the power of their music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 There is something about U2 which causes immense feelings of hatred. One cannot merely dislike them or find the mildly irritating or boring. You have to hate them with every ounce of hatred that it is possible to conjure up.

What I meant by "fall asleep" was "go into a coma". 19 minutes ago, DieselDaisy said: There is something about U2 which causes immense feelings of hatred.

Chewbacca Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Here in Brazil it usually goes like this: A) She likes Guns: She will usually react favorably, asking about your favorite songs and telling you hers. Older girls will usually tell you how they had a crush on Axl back in the day, saying how sexy he was and how bloated he is today. younger chicks will tell you about the gigs they attended to or how they wish they were old enough to do so and that "next time they won't lose it for the shit of it". B) She's not into Gn'R, but aknowledges they are a big american band that made quite a lot of succes here: She will tell you that she absolutely loves Guns. November Rain, SCOM and Rock You Like A Hurricane are part of the soundtrack of her lifetime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Brazil is GN'R central. Everybody loves GN'R including the new band. I wonder how that is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get eye rolls everytime I talk about GnR. The few people who get it and share my love for the band are my musician friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a curious phenomena isn't it? Morrissey is apparently massive in Mexico too. Then again how is it any weirder than rock n roll about coffee coloured cadilacs and the sock hop ball being massive in 1950s England i suppose.

DieselDaisy Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Brazilians were not as cynical about new gnr. The rest of the world went 'cunt' basically whereas the Brazilians merely went, ''yes that is gnr''. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
