BucketEgg Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 The fanbase is full of trolls and fakes and foolery. Sometimes it's so stupid that it's funny. Maybe the fanbase should use its collective trolling power to terrorise another fanbase on april fool's day. What are some hoaxes you remember? I'll start off with the "Axl Rose died" hoax that Axl responded to in a tweet: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/music-news/axl-rose-responds-online-death-753863/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodoochild Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 If anyone here was around back in 2002/03, there was another message board where a guy called PURE was acting like a real insider. Not sure how it started, but as it happens in cases like this, he may had one or two predictions right, which led everyone to believe he was for real. He then started to post cryptic messages with emojis and everyone went nuts trying to figure out what he was hinting at. Stuff like this: "11/23 ", which people assumed would be CD release date. It turned out, of course, that he was just a troll full of shit. But that was 20 years ago, it was like the dawn of the Internet, so everybody was a lot more innocent. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t remember his exact quote, but November 23 was a common bet. He would only be wrong by 6 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who remenber that one? Orianthi was rumoured to replace DJ when he quit. Right before the Slash returning rumours started. She was playing guitar for Alice Cooper back then. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's not quite the best fitting, but she's a very good player from the technical standpoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 She's a talented player, but not the right fit for Guns N' Roses. IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
