Welcome to FAN OF THE MONTH!

JANUARY 2005 FAN OF THE MONTH goes to the one, the only, the one with wayyyyy too much energy.. PAT!  Congrats Pat!

NAME: Patrizia Carli (but no one calls me that anymore, well, apart from Becca)

ABOUT YOU: Italian, living in London for about 11 years now. Working as a Team Leader in a sandwich bar shop in Carnaby st.You 'll often find me sittin out there with a book and a cup of coffee! Love to read, & to play silly tricks on pretty much everyone! & of course going to see LAG anywhere they might play, or
my big bro Chad (whoever he might be comin over with!!!)

WHEN YOU FIRST FOUND LAG: When I first got into rock, back in my town there was no place to get albums. Trieste is very small indeed & we didnt have a proper record store. To cut a long story short, I wanted the GNR Appetite for Destruction real bad, but I had to have it mailed to me from Milan & I could only do that if I bought 2 albums at a time. And the cover for this LA Guns band looked pretty cool.... the rest is history!

YOUR FAV LAG SONG: Too many to mention! I think I have a fave song for each of my moods by now! But, if it all comes down to one choice, it can only be the most fabolous song ever written... Its just gotta be One More Reason!!!!

FAV LAG ALBUM: They are all awesome & each one of them links to a certain time in my life. But, yet once again, the self titled one is pure classic! Although WTD is pretty close, & I just can't listen to Rips without imagining the guys playin those songs live!

FAV LAG MEMORY: Again, way too many! No way to choose! The things Sofi & I did to TRY to see them! Like driving 7 hours to Newport Beach (getting lost a few times to say the least), to a cancelled show. Or driving to San Diego listening to nothing but Beautiful for hours . Or coming out of Rock City in Nottingham, lookin at each other & just saying Stuff it! we are off to Bristol! Meeting Phil before the show in San Diego, Brad giving me my own pass last Feb, finding Ian again after a decade...... etc etc could go on for hours!

FAV PLACE TO SEE THEM PLAY: Gosh! I have seen them play in so many different venues, its difficult to say. La Gabbia is an awesome place, & I totally enjoyed the show in Ghost Town, I mean... Sala! The venue there is one of a kind for sure. But, if there is one place I still havent seen them play in, is my old time favorite Dragonfly in LA! now THAT would be something for sure!

APROX HOW MANY SHOWS HAVE YOU BEEN TOO????? Weeeeell, first one was in Milan in 1991, then nothing till San Diego & Santa Ana in 2001, then pretty much most of the European shows. I think I have now seen them 42 or 43 times! And you know what? I could still see them another 42 or 43 times no problem! Cos it doesnt matter how many shows I see them play, I never once seen them play a bad one! Never once have I not left the venue thinking "Wow! they rocked it! again!" !!! & Never once is a show the same! These guys are IT!

WHATS YOUR FAVORITE FEATURE ON EACH BAND MEMBER??? huh?I dunno!!!! I think I'm gonna just say what I associate the most with the guys if you
don't mind, cos that's way easier: Phil... those scary eyes! (hehehe) Stacey... its you again! Steve... always so very kind to me & so very welcoming. Adam... plenty of hugs

ANY LAST WORDS: THANK YOU!!! Not only are you guys my all time favorite band, heck, its been pretty much 16/17 years now!!! Not only has your music got me thru some of the toughest shit in my life! But your music also gave me the strenght to move to the UK all those years back, you gave me some of my best friends, the people I always turn to in times of need (ya know who you are!) ! Some of the people I met thru the Hollywood Vampires Fan club a long time ago, they are still my best buddies today. & the awesome people on the board! So thank you, from the very bottom of my heart, see ya again soon! & I
