Rainman Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 My son is 14 years old and is into A7X, AFI, and some of the other bands kids today call ROCK !?! The first time I played 'Better' for my son he said it rocked and ever since he and I have been passing on the word. The difference between 'Chinese Democracy' doing really good OR exceptional on the charts is up to the kids of today. Please pass the music on and inform them !!!! Do NOT waste any more time !!!!

SlashRock Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 (edited) I tried. I just got back that they didn't want to hear 'grandads' music. Idiots. EDIT-I'm talking about GnR in general-not just CD leaks.. Edited September 7, 2006 by SlashRock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokingarthur Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I'd rather have them listen to Appetite and the Illusions before subjegating them to CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drops_of_jupiter Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Both my 11 and 6 year old niece know the majority of the songs on AFD--as does my 14 year old brother--I took him to a GnR show at Hammersmith. I've also made CDs for 'em with all the new songs on it and they're always blasting it and they go around saying 'Better....BETTER..' So, they know 'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridin' the Nightrain Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I'm sure I'll get bashed to hell for saying it, but here goes anyway.I hope kids who have never heard GNR before, and then hear Chinese Democracy hunt out AFD/Illusions and love the classics too, if not moreso.. I'd hate to think there are kids out there calling themselves GNR fans when they've only heard one era of the music. (And, in my opinion, the weakest).

Rainman**I have been a GN'R fan since 1986.** I hope you have some luck getting your kid and other kids into GnR. Whether people want to admit it or not, the future of the current GnR will rely on the young ones buying the new stuff. I've tried to get my friends into the leaked songs, and none of them give a damn(they are not kids BTW). I tell them about the leaks, the European tour, the new members etc... and all they say is, "Is Slash back in the band?". Then I try and explain the situation, and they just don't care anymore.

Rainman**I have been a GN'R fan since 1986.** well, I am 15 years old and I have been passing the new songs, especially showing them the Better preformances from Rock AM Ring... no kids from my town listen to some crap music like you were talking about but they still don't know the music of the new Guns N' Roses... all they know is that the former bandmates aren't there anymore so they ain't cool no more, but I have changed few friends o' mine opinions of newgnr... now at least one of 'em think the new ones are alot cooler and play the old songs with better style than the old guys, and he likes the new songs very much.but I'm just gettin' wamed up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannon21 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 My kid rocking to IRS, brings a tear to my old eye I think it brings tears to MY eyes! that's just great!!! and well, I can't do the same since I'm 18 with no kids ....but I sure as hell always tell guys my age or their little brothers or cousins about GN'R, all of Gn'R. I sent all the people on my MSN list Better and IRS, and of course most of them LOVED Better, which is pretty fucking cool! Kannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icet224 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I'm 16 and I've been spreading the good word since the first time I heard Chinese Democracy, that song alone helped me relise the albums potentioal, and I've been force feeding GNR down all my friends since, all of them have come to agree with me with the exception of a friend of mine whos into super-hardcore screaming musicmost of my teachers won't let me talk anymore because I always bring GNR and Chinese D into all my conversations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl_morris Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Me and W_Axl_Kev have got 7 of our friends hooked. For several years they would slag us say "all you talk about if GNR" Then we let them hear the leaks, they secretly like them. Convince them to go to a show, and now they have agreed to buy the album and see them at the next oppetunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worldwideboss Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 After several tries, I have made a friend of mine a fan of GN'R. She likes the old stuff and the leaks, especially I.R.S. (my favourite too ). She didn't go to RIR with me and now she regrets it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
