Welcome to FAN OF THE MONTH!

FOTM for May was part of the almost infamous L.A. Guns get-together earlier this year - she's a devoted fan, a regular on the message board - and from what we've heard, she knows some bueno dance steps! ;-) Congrats, Amanda!

Now please tell us your real Name?
Amanda and my middle name is actually May! Did you guys know this? LOL :P


Where are you from?
New Jersey


What do you do for a living?
I provide babysitting & transportation services for two children, and it's great because I stay home with my 4yr old son. So it gives him someone to play with and I make a little extra money.


Please tell us a little about yourself.
I'm 32 years old. I love animals. I have two cats, a dog, and a ferret.  I'm married, and my husband is also a big music/L.A. Guns fan.  I love to dance, laugh, be silly, spend time with my hubby and son, go to concerts, listen to music, read books, watch the discovery channel, aerobics, spin class, walk on the beach, basically I like to just enjoy life :).  I'm also actually pretty shy, and it's a fluke that I even joined the board.  I saw L.A. Guns back in July of 2004.  It was a great show, and I bought the band photo after & got it signed.  On the photo the website was listed, so I started to check out the board and forum.  Everyone on here seemed so nice, and there were a few who I thought were really funny so I joined.  I'm really glad I did. :)


How did you get into L.A. Guns?
When I came home from my first day of high school I put on MTV, and the "Electric Gypsy" video was on.  I was hooked!

What is your favourite song/album?
My favorites are the Self Titled album with "Electric Gypsy" as my #1 song.   When I put that in my CD player I'm instantly 15yrs old again!!  It just brings back so many great memories for me, so I have a strong attachment to that album.  I love so many of their albums though, and "Tales" is constantly in my car! One of the best albums of 2005 in my opinion! :)


What other bands are you into?
Aerosmith, Boston, Tesla, Motley Crue, Faster Pussycat, Ratt, Kix, Kiss, Buckcherry, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Ozzy, Black Label Society, Exodus, Celtic Frost, Def Leppard, The Cure, ELO, Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax,The Darkness, Testament, Backyard Babies, HIM, Beautiful Creatures, Vain, Sea Hags, Cats n Boots, Skid Row, Heart, The Donnas, Rush, My Chemical Romance, Cinderella, The Rolling Stones, Hanoi Rocks, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks,The Cars, Prince, Grateful Dead, The Murderdolls, The Cult, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dirty Looks..... I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting. 

Please share your favourite L.A. Guns story/memory.  (see pix below)
Well for starters finally meeting Mini Blades was awesome! :P  My favorite memory would have to be seeing them this past February.  It was back to back with Nikki's awesome 30th birthday party which ROCKED where I also got to finally meet Britt!!!  Besides the show at Dingbatz being off the hook amazing, I got to meet so many wonderful people from the board (that I felt like I knew already from chat lol) it's really like a family!! I really have to thank L.A. Guns for all the life-long friends I have made from their forum!  What a truly awesome band, and equally awesome group of people it has brought together! :)

Any famous last words?
Live, Laugh, Love! Live life to the fullest, Laugh often, and Love Deeply! ;-)
& Thank You!
