(no subject)
Somehow, I managed to spend a lot of time with someone who hadn't ever heard of Guns n Roses. Something I didn't realise until about an hour ago. Craig, I am both shocked and horrified.
Me: I got my guns n roses ticket! i am going to marry axl. yes.
Craig: who's axl?
craigix 20/07/02 00:32 never heard of him
Midnightmo 20/07/02 00:32 he is the lead singer for guns n roses. you have
heard of them. surely.
craigix 20/07/02 00:33 .... maybe from you
craigix 20/07/02 00:33 are they like some niche thing?
Midnightmo 20/07/02 00:33 dude, no! they were the biggest rock band of the
late 80s.
Midnightmo 20/07/02 00:33 surely you are winding me up
craigix 20/07/02 00:34 def leppard, queen, u2
Midnightmo 20/07/02 00:35 i am refusing to accept you have not heard
anything by guns n roses. they were HUGE.
Midnightmo 20/07/02 00:36 paradise city? mr brownstone? knocking on
heavens door? sweet child o mine?
all 80s classics.
craigix 20/07/02 00:36 no, if they were, i'd have heard them, at least on some 80s compilation
Midnightmo 20/07/02 00:36 Impossible. this is impossible.
craigix 20/07/02 00:37 moon, they are not as famous as you think, they
are not iron maiden
Midnightmo 20/07/02 00:37 NO, they are BIGGER than Maiden ever were.
craigix 20/07/02 00:40 sure. when were they last in the charts?
Midnightmo 20/07/02 00:40 lol, it's true! you must be having me on. must
be.
craigix 20/07/02 00:40 maiden were a few weeks ago. even def leppard were a year or 2 ago
Midnightmo 20/07/02 00:40 yes, GnR split up! that's why! in a big media
blitz, in 93. surely you remember slash.
craigix 20/07/02 00:40 how are you going to see them then?
Midnightmo 20/07/02 00:41 because they've reformed.
craigix 20/07/02 00:41 a sure sign they are finished then lol. where are they playing? a pub?
Midnightmo 20/07/02 00:41 november rain. surely you ahve heard that. it was no1. They are headlining leeds festival!

craigix 20/07/02 00:42 if they were they would be on one of my 80s cds
Midnightmo 20/07/02 00:42 they probably are! this song was no1 too.
craigix 20/07/02 00:43 bigger than def leppard?
Midnightmo 20/07/02 00:43 much much bigger. they have performed with queen :/
*bangs head off desk*
craigix 20/07/02 00:44 there is surely no way they were bigger than
queen
Midnightmo 20/07/02 00:44 no, not biggeer than queen, but just as well
known, i bet!
Midnightmo 20/07/02 00:45 have you heeard of skid row?

Midnightmo 20/07/02 00:48 this is one of the best known guitar riffs in the
world. also, there have been lots of axl rose
impersonators on stars in their eyes.
craigix 20/07/02 00:49 i dunno. i think i'd know of them if they were. i've never seen them mentioned on tv
Midnightmo 20/07/02 00:50 i can't believe you don't know of them dude. they had slash on smtv live a while ago! and they were even on teh *news* last year. because they arranged a european tour and cancelled it.

filteer installed somewhere along the way.
craigix 20/07/02 00:55 moon this song isn't even GOOD

single song by them, ever
Midnightmo 20/07/02 01:10 dude. you must have been living in a cave not to

once set metallica on fire. he was one of the
greatest front men ever. still is, in fact.
