[elephantus]

Let's kick this forum off with a simple poll question to get some good discussion going:


How long have you been listening to G. Love & Special Sauce?

[B-Love]

I know I was real young like 14...I have to give props to my older brother for filling me in to G Love...fourteen yrs old walking around with my discman playing "this aint living" I am now 24 and still a die hard fan....they are one of my inspirations...help me smile when I am down...its funny I used to listen to a lot of music but not a lot still gets played from when I was 14...but glass still and always will get mad play on my system....but I am craving for a new album.

[people]

less than a year.

[Qslugs]

Since 94. Seen them 6 or 7times since then.

[JnthnMchl]

I was turned on to them by a friend, I caught them up at Summer Fest in Miwaukee in 2001, and it was an awesome experience. I have seen them twice in Chicago and in Indy once...


Not to many artists today that you can completely vibe too. It's more of a controlled release is how i like to descibe my experiece with G.L.A.S.S.

[Fred]

Since 1995 when 'Kiss and Tell' was played on the french rock radio and I've seen the band live in 1996,1998 and 2000 in Paris , France. Great souvenir.

[sideline_junky]

I can remember the exact moment I first heard/saw G Love and the Sauce, it was way back on Conan O'Brien a long time ago when they were promoting the first album. They played "Blues Music" and I was instantly hooked.

[sammydajew]

I've first heard them when is was a junior in high school i think (1994). Haven't missed an album yet.smileys/smiley16.gif

[Monica*]

I was Pretty young too. I think it was 93 but maybe 94. They were on a Chicago TV station that was playing bits of different concertsand they played Baby's got Sauce and I still haven't figured out the other song.I've been hooked ever since!smileys/smiley10.gif

[nosellot]

Freshmen year of highschool. 1996. First time I got to third base.It was a Mixtape of all of GLASS's early stuff.I was in the student parking lot of my highschool in the back of a Ford Explorer. She was hot. It will never happen again. Those were the days.

[BoPicasso]

G Love has become my favorite band... His attitude and style is great! Its all about the ladies and he definately knows how to throw a party..!! Till the next concert!!!!!!!!! Peace all!

[crashoverride]

i have been a fan ever since seventh grade.. i definatly thought i was the sh*t, 'cause at the time no one in my school had heard them. ..

[Disastronaut]

I've been a fan of him since the 8th grade which would be... wow... 6 years now. Only recently have i turned some friends onto him. I tell ya it wasn't too hard. I just poppeda CD in whenever there was a player around at a party, let themusic flow... and all of a sudden... in two months time... I've got 7 people asking me who they were (cause they simply never heard of them). Four of them even went to one of his shows with me.smileys/smiley10.gif Edited by: Disastronaut

[Bnice27]

I first heard G.L.A.S.S back in the day in north cacka lackie, I've been hooked ever since. I constantly have my CD in the heavy rotation in the car, and have brought several friends to G.L.A.S.S. It blows my mind when I hear G.L.A.S.S on a commercial and have to explain who that crazy sound is, dats G.L.A.S.S you need them in your collection.

[EmC On TheRocks]

I first heard of G. Love in about 1998 or 99. The local Philly radio station plays Cold beverages every Friday at 5:00. Thats where I first heard of them, then sometime in 2000 I bought my first CD. all my friends know me as a GLaSS fanatic, and I got to see them for the first time this past summer. Can't get enough

[MrDaniel]

wow, that question made me think WAY back. but i remember the first song i heard wuz "Cold Beverage"when i wuz 15. i'm 25 now and i think i've bought that cd about 10 times cuz it always gets borrowed permanently. smileys/smiley5.gifwhen they came to houston in either 1999 or 2000 for "Philidelphonic", i can't remember exactly, my brother and i got on the tourbus w/ em after the show and got to party for a while w/ them. that wuz awesome!! i've seen em a couple other times too but that one was my favorite concert. They played a song that i haven't been able to find so far. sumpin about "Crappin' on G." anyone know how to get this song or wut the real name of it is?

[psilo-cowboy]

cast my vote with a 42.42%! written in f**kin numbers!

[jotrailer]

i was introduced to glass by a co-worker/friend about
three years ago - of course, 'cold beverages' became a
favorite and now they all are favs. I was so excited to
actually see them perform this year - not once, but three
times! i can't wait for a new album. and to play 'booty

[eafutter]

I'm probably a bit older than a lot of G. Love fans. I was 33 when I first heard any of his music. Actually read a review of the first album (1994) in Rolling Stone and on a lark bought it. I loved it, even though it was contrary to a lot of the music I liked.


Then I went to an outdoor festival at the place called Mayo Island in Richmond, Va. at the urging of a friend who was about 7 years younger than me. G/ Love was the featured act.


It was a beautiful summer night and I rode my bike there (about 5 miles) and met some friends. I had a special buzz going smileys/smiley2.gifand G. Love was wearing a red tux coat and his hair was in almost a pompador.


Absolutely one of the greatest concerts I've ever seen. I was just blown away, not yelling and cheering blown away, but dancing and grooving and feeling great blown away.


Friends and I went to a great restuarant that night and I've seen them two other times since then and will continue if they ever get back to Richmond again.


I'm 42 with a child on the way and this kid will certainlyhear his/her share of G. Love. I was just reading a book and listening to "Yeah it's that Easy" and got onto this great forum to see if he was going to head to the east coast any time soon. Alas, I don't see it. http://www.philadelphonic.com/forum/smileys/smiley6.gif


Oh well, back to the headphones.


Peace to all...

[Knubbies]

I saw them on the Jon Stewart show, I don't know exactly when that was, but it was before my junior year in high school.


I was soo lucky that i could not sleep that night so I stayed up to watch the boob tube.


G. Love R.O.C.K.'s in the U.S.A.

[stormd83]

I have been a huge fan of music for 30 yrs. ( I'm 38). I got hipped to G about 2 yrs. ago and have'nt listened to much else since. Can't wait to catch a show, hopefully this year. Would love to have a DVD of a show to chill to....Storm

[BoPicasso]

I hear ya, i cant wait till the dvd comes out.. Gonna be nice! The EP Kickin Back is awesome! I cant quit listenin to the song Kickin Back.. I love that sh*t lol
Peace
Bo

[crzylgc]

I first heard GLaSS back in '95 when they were on the H.O.R.D.E. Tour. It was the stop up in Maine. Only a couple days after Jerry Garcia died and they came out and broke into Friend of the Devil. Probably seen them about 10-15 times since then.

[eclane]

Ironically, my older sister turned me on to G-love when I was 16. It is ironic because she doesn't really like music. I am just lucky I guess. I have had the privilege of catching them in concert about 10 times. I just recently caught 3 shows in florida, and my boyfriend and I are celebrating our 2nd anniversary with a drive up to Charlotte for the 22nd show. and to think,I might never have found them, if it weren't for my sis who doesn't really care about anything.

[Itzsoweezee]

been a fan since 01. seen them once.

[sauce.baby]

one week tomorrow! w0ot! go me! hahaha

[crysann]

i have been hearin them for about a year and a half...my friend introduced me to them and i have been hook'd since then...i have seen them at the acl festival this year and last year, i also caught a gigin houston (which was bad aRse!).i just cant get enough!

[808BootyCall808]

only abot a month now! how lame is that?

[ramble on rose]

808BootyCall808, you are not lame because you found the love, and it is never too late for that!!

[sauce.baby]

only abot a month now! how lame is that?


you've had 3 more weeks of love than i have! lol when i looked up his site i was like, 'holy sh*t! he's been around for a long ass time! where the f**k have i been??'

[ramble on rose]

I first heard g. love when I was about 18, and I'm 25 now. My husband turned me on to them, and I've been jamming to it ever since. I have been to a few shows, once while insanely huge due to the fact I was pregnant, but that did not stop me from going to the show. It just stopped me from fighting to get to the front right next to the stage. Now my 3 year old sits in the cr w/me and she sings along "love love love". it's too cute. but listen to me ramble, ramble, ramble, long live g.l.a.s.s. and lets hope true music never leaves us.

[chadthedrummer7]

i remember i had heard of GLASS back in 95... right b4 it's that easy came out. And have beena die hard fan ever since. Everybody knows G love is MY band and everytime anybody hears anything about em, they have to call me. I am the biggest G Love fan i know. I have seen em prolly8 or 10times! Partied with them a few times... love em! They are my favorite band... as a musician that takes a lot to impress me, but GLASS never stops amazing (grazin) me! Every new LP of EP proves to be better than the last! love em love em love em! Hope to do something special for em on the 18th when they come to Dallas, AGAIN!

[Monica*]

yea its never too late to become a fan.


oh. there was a different philly site b4 this one so it has been aroud even longer that you think. i found it when philadelphonic came out, i think. it was so long ago i can't really remember. i would guess, at least, since 99. not positive though.

[ParEpe]

It's amazing to think that such an incredible artist has been out for so long without me ever hearing about them. That's why these forums are so great...it gives me a chance to hear about new artists that I wouldn't be introduced to anywhere else. Man, I'm really feeling the love tonight! I've got posts out all over the place telling all the "phamily" (that still makes me smile) how great everyone is! Anyway, I first heard of G. Love last year-ish. My best friend is a HUGE fan...yet not on the forum, go figure. After the concert at the Gorge, I can't get G. Love out of my head! He's simply incredible. I'd like to think that I'm one of his biggest fans but reading the stuff in this forum it's easy to see that I'm not.
