20 years of Rocks Off
July 14, 1998 – to date
It is time to celebrate our first two decades
20 years ago Jaxx, Gazza and Voodoo started Rocks Off as a message board. Some months later on March 23, 1999 we created the website, in May 2003 a message board in Spanish and later in November 2011 a Facebook page.
20 years of free optional entertainment and yes totally free, totally optional, but not sure if it is totally entertaining!
We started when connecting to the net required a telephone line; I got an additional telephone line because of this… during those days we were waiting a few days to get setlists or shows reports and we were happy to get them, no complaints about repeated setlists!
We have appeared in several international rock magazines, newspapers, books, radio stations, TV, and professional movies.
We were the site of the year in the official Rolling Stones website, a video at the official website credited Rocks Off for announcing the show number 2,000 the video included testimonies of the four members, Riffy mentioned Rocks Off to the Rolling Stones in a press conference in NYC (two press conferences Licks Tour and Shine a light), we have 28 entries in Wikipedia since a long time, we were mentioned by the BBC twice.
We have contacted very important people and celebrities because of our website.
All of the above will be in detail in the upcoming webpage of 20 years of getting our rocks off along with your contributions in this thread.
But wait, that’s not all, we are going to make exclusive t-shirts and mugs of Rocks Off of FYG, WY? And also a contest with cool prizes, this one later.
We know that we suck and probably have sucked all the time, we also know that nowadays we’re not the same, but who gives a fuck anyway, we will be here until we die or until only Gazza and/or I post whichever comes first, let’s do some living after we die.
But…
WE NEED YOUR HELP
There are a lot of stories to tell about these 20 years so we want to make a page in rocksoff.org about our history, funny moments on both on line and in real life, so please tell us about moments to include, send pictures, videos, send girlfriends, wives, sheep, joints, fake Joeys, Paris’ thongs, beers, send whatever you want.
If you have pictures or videos and don’t have a place to post them send them to
