Carne_asaDA Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 As a big GnR fan, I'd like to know how you guys got introduced to their music and how you became a fan. Like for me, I was watching the movie trailer to the Dead Pool and Welcome to the Jungle was played. I was really young at the time but the song triggered my imagination. I bought my first Rock cassette which was AFD and i been a fan ever since. I got a chance to see them live in my city in 93. It was one of the best shows I ever seen. What about you??

Docmagoo Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 I was 11, I was watching videos on Mtv when suddenly November Rain was broadcasted... I was thrilled by this song and within few days I bought AFD, Lies and UYI!!When they came in my city in 93 I was too youg and my parents didn't allow me to go to their concert....I've been cryin' since 27th July 1993....

little_witch Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 It's been so long that I don't remember. I vaguely remember being very p*ssed at my ex who at the time was my current and pacing the living room with a cigarette in one hand and a beer in the other with AFD cranked on the stereo. Kept me from killing him so it was a good thing. Since then I've quit smoking and traded the beer for Jim Beam but I'll never give up the GNR!

Jennifer Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Hard to remember too, I think that AFD had come out and my best friend gave it to me for my birthday. I was hooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gcam Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 My brother was a big GN'R fan and in about 1990 or 1991 he was listening to AFD all the time, when I heard Paradise City I started to listen to the album and realised that every song on it was a classic, even though I was only about 6 at the time. I've been listening to them ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlsmum Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 My first 'serious' boyfriend got me into them. Over the years I've tried to remember something good about him, finally answered my own question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauda Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Growing up in the 90`s so I didn`t have any music I loved, so I loaned much music from my brother among them GnR, I thought it was really cool, but didn`t get "hooked" rigth away.. When I that summer where at the airport I heard November Rain in like a bar or something and I just ran to the nearest store and looked at G and the only GnR cd left there was Uyi1 with November Rain, so I bougth it and got hooked..

firecrown Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 This was many years ago but I had this friend who had a GNR poster on his bedroom wall and I remember thinking who are those fags (thinking that it was just another lame hair metal band, but then he put in AFD and Out Ta Get Me was blazing and I've been hooked ever since. Those of you too young probably can't relate.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOLDEN Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 A friend told me to listen to five songs I've never heard before all by the band called Guns N Roses...I already heard the songs Paradise City and SCOm but that was itThe five songs I listened to:1.) WTTJ-I liked it2.) Night Train-Thought this was a very good band3.) Mr. Brownstone-Cool beat4.) Get In The Ring-Thought this guy Axl Rose was one tough SOB.5.) Patience-after hearing this song...I not once considered this band to have been anything less than a monstrosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvitale2004 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 I was in 3rd or 4th grade, heard Welcome To The Jungle on Mtv, asked my parents to buy me appetite for destruction, they said no. I went to my Gram's for the weekend and begged her for a hour to take me to the tape and record store to buy Appetite for destruction. I brought the tape home, listened to welcome to the jungle a couple times, then let it keep playing.. as searn as I heard the line "I see you standing there, you think your so cool, why don't you just..... FUCK OFF..." I fell in love with the band. I was so young I really didn't understand what some songs were about, but I loved Axl's attitude, I could identify with it because I didn't like most my teachers, peers, or authority figures in my life...

Anagram Of Oral Sex Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 When I was a young lad I heard the song "Every Rose has its Thorns" at the time I wasn't really big into music. Yet I loved this song and I wanted more from the band who made it yet I was young and had no idea that it was Posion and just assumed it was Guns n Roses because the band name and song name just go together. Anyhow I went looking for more GNR music and found it, and BAM ever since I mixed up Poison and GNR ive been a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loco in the Toko! Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Well my mum used/is to be totally into bands like KISS, AC/DC & Queen, so hard-rock was already introduced into the family.Of course I must note that my mum and dad both love a big variety of music, which is the same with me.I heard GN'R a couple of timeso n the radio and me and my brother listened to it a few times in record stores, after a couple of listens we decided to buy all their albums. (We were still to young to know there even was music at the prime of GN'R career but I'm now 15, so I'm a newer fan so to say). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
