To funny!

I've been called both but never together. Fanwhore might be something new. DON'T JUDGE ME-- It was the 80s!!!

I've been called both but never together.

I love the fact that "It was the '70s" or "It was the '80s" is seen as a fairly legitimate justification for wild behaviour. I don't think "It was the Noughties" will wash with my children...

I'm really sorry that you felt that you have to justify yourself in this regard, VA. You don't. How you or I or anyone else on this board (or off) chooses to spend their hard-earned money and their downtime is nobody's business but our own. Whether we choose to sit in the first, second or last row is up to us. Whether we choose to go to one or 21 shows is up to us. I've been to enough shows with you to know that your love of the music and of the band is why you choose to be there. You are not there to get fan-whore recognition.

I'm disappointed that a member of this Eagles-loving community has made you wonder, for even one single second, that ANY of us judge you or think you are trying to get noticed or prove a point. Remember that, you little fan-whore, when were are in the front row in Seattle in six short weeks!

What I said had precisely nothing to do with VA. Please let me make that clear.

[Freypower]

I agree. More power to those women. I am happy for them. How cool for them, and how cool of Glenn.

When VA texted me about two women from Austria in front of her, I immediately thought of the women from Niagara Falls whom Glenn included in the third-row dedication. I sat next to them as they sang along with me to "Some Kind of Blue" and I knew I was next to fellow hardcores.

I am not going to quote FP's post again because it makes me cringe. However, I feel I must address it.

FP, I am stunned that you would criticize them considering the lengths you have gone to in order to see Glenn perform. Plus, if it weren't for financial constraints and other prohibitive obligations, don't pretend you wouldn't be doing the same thing. I'm not being critical; if I had had the money and time, I would also be doing it! I desperately wanted to go to Australia to see Glenn, but it wasn't logistically feasible. Otherwise, I would have been there. Would you have found fault with that? I expect this kind of behavior to be criticized by people outside the fandom or who aren't as intensely into it, but by you??

What did they do that some of us haven't done? Yes, they have traveled far and spent a lot of money to see multiple shows. So have several of us, including myself AND you. Why shouldn't they get recognized?

Thanks to them, you were able to hear the first public performance of "The Girl from Yesterday" since the first leg of the HFO tour. Obviously Glenn finds nothing wrong with their behavior; quite the contrary - to have a song played just for them that Glenn hasn't played in almost 20 years (and has never played solo) is an extraordinary honor and a HUGE deal. He must appreciate them very much.

Finally, it astonishes me that you would make a point of declaring your experience to be "more meaningful." This is not a contest and frankly it comes off as quite egotistical. Your experience was indeed special, but that doesn't give you the right to crap on other people's moments or put yourself above them.

Consider this: What would Glenn think if he saw you using the kindness he showed you to diminish the kindness he shows other people?

I am sorry if I sound harsh. I don't mean to hurt your feelings. I just want to show you that your comments were a mistake.

I stand corrected & I apologise for the post.

ETA: I deleted it. I didn't want it sitting there.

[Henley Honey]

I think I want to be a fan-whore!

Maybe this should be in the confession thread...

I'll send you an application, but I must warn you that our standards are strict and our openings are limited.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Wow - I'd say FP's post caused all the fanwhores to get our panties in a bunch. Let it suffice to say that I was astonished by those cynical comments and that I totally agree with everyone's responses.

I certainly never heard of anyone saying these Austrian ladies inappropriately sought attention. I, too, am very happy for them and any other fans who get recognition from any of our guys. I'll sure cherish the special moments I've received forever and love that the guys appreciate their loyal fans.

[Freypower]

The point has been made. I wish I had never said it. I repeat that I am sorry I did.

[Outlawman13]

Aww it's so cool that those ladies were there at the concert!!! I would've done the same!!! LOL fanwhore sounds pretty fun!!! LOL HH!!! I love that comment!! VA, that was a very awesome review. LOL I am slow at looking at reviews. LOL.
