That site was the first one I ever visited on the net. It took me a while to find decent sites, wasnt very computer savvy, but I always remember going there the first time I ever ventured onto the internet.
I then visited mygnr for a while, they had lots of soundbites and audio which was what I was really looking for, as well as news of a new album. I lurked on their forum and htgth for a while and I first posted on the original newgnr.com, way before the merger.
That was a good site, I wasnt happy when it merged with gunsnroses.us, to make cd.com. I do actually remember another chinesedemocracy.com existing a few years before they used that name.
I pretty much emigrated to htgth after that merger, which was a good site back in the early 2000s. There was tonnes of info about what gnr had been up to over the years, a lot of it was new to me, and the forum seemed open to all fans.
Eventually I got sick fed up of the evergrowing twisted politics, hypocracy and general unpleasantness of the place and landed here.

I always wondered, what happened to RoV? I only occasionaly went there to lurk and always noticed the topics and content of the discussions were way different than the big forums.
I think I sought out RoV when I got sick of the censorship on other forums and found here instead.

Can I get:

"They're only here to see to see Gandalf."

At the London premier of X-Men 2, Ian McKellan was getting interviewed on the red carpet outside and the reporter was saying "so what do you think of this turn out tonight? There must be thousands of people out there..."
McKellan just shrugged his shoulders and said, " Ah well... They're only here to see Gandalf."

I like my drums a bit louder than they are on cd, but I'm getting used to all the things like that, that bugged me before.
I still think the album could have been mixed better, the outro to Catcher is really bad. Brains going nuts but you have to strain, focusing your ear to get into the drums. Those damn guitars are to loud and are away in a world of their own.
The demo guitars complemented those wonderful lyrics at the end of the song, the new version still doesnt sit right me at all even though I want to love the song so much.

If he starts playing clubs and bars again for the pleasure of playing music, instead of using the name to headline festivals, I will believe he is keeping GNR alive for honourable reasons.

But apparantly its a "stadium tour" next,  isnt it
