I feel your pain.

losse_lips_sinkk_ships: His name reminds me of a Triumvirat song. He's seems really smart, I wish instead of coming and going so often he would stick around. Also, I have never heard of half the bands he listens to which is cool.

I did some more

VEGANGELICA - I had her down originally as an annoying militant sprout muncher when she first arrived here but i've really warmed to her lately and it's all down to her charm & politeness. It's very difficult not to like her. she's obviously madder than a box of frogs but that just adds to her appeal.

Kayleigh - I really like Kayleigh because she reminds me so much of the girls I used to go clubbing with back in my clubbing days (not THAT far removed i'll have you know). That means I expect her at some point in the future to start crying hysterically about some ex-boyfriend whilst vomiting all over my shoes.

Mojopinuk - Solid guy who's posts I always look forward to reading, If we get another mod vote in the near future I don't mind admitting he'd be my pick.

Satchmo - Me & Satch go way way back in this place. He was always an absolute pleasure to be around and I genuinely missed him when he wasn't here. Since he's been back here we've not really been around each other as much as before but he will always have my respect and i'm so glad he's back in his rightful place as a mod again.

Lateralus - She's been given lots of kudos for being a really nice person and she deserves all of them. Personally I never really hit it off with her, I think she's a bit too nice, I like people to have a bit of an edge. I get the impression she has a bit of 'all things to all people' about her and as a result I do find her posts to be a little on the bland side. I don't blame her for this I'm just never really drawn towards people who I get the impression of being like that.

Terrible Lizard - Seems to know a hell of a lot about music which makes it all the more baffling why he spends all his time posting stupid comments , monkey pictures & dated /b/ jokes to the point of irritation.

Loose Lips Sink Ships - He's a good guy but I think there's a reason he's not been mentioned much so far & that's because i've never really seen him make something his own or make a really memorable thread. I think in general most of the forum likes him but I think if he nails those things he'd be much more highly regarded than he is currently.

Awwsugar - Comes across as being a bit spiky sometimes and when you talk to her away from the forum you realise that's because she IS spiky. Once you get to know her a bit you realise there's a really lovely girl under all that and I can only see her getting better & better.

Freebase Dali - Makes some really good points sometimes but you have to wade through a load of crap to get to them. I think he has a tendency to try & overstate his intelligence by over analysing things that really don't need to be to the point where it's almost embarrassing to read. I think if it wasn't for that he'd be a lot more popular with a lot more people.

Engine - Not been here long but is fast becoming one of my favourite members. Has a taste in music that's almost as impeccable as my own

That's really sweet of you, thank you. ^_^

Spiky's good. It keeps people on their toes.

Some great insights again from the main man.

a few more adjusted from me and a few I haven't mentioned.


Urban Hatemonger

I hate it when the guy is away. I always think that he sparks the forum with a mere paragraph more than most of us can in 20 posts. I find him very elitist but I can forgive him through his knowledge and love of music. I do think that he should be more honest with himself and shove aside his dislike of many forms of music sometimes and admit his guilty pleasures or be more tolerant of others taste in music sometimes instead of making barbed comments. As a music aficianado I do think he has no equal on here and can talk the talk and walk the walk.

Loose lips Sink ships

It's your time! A great taste in music and not just because we share similar tastes regarding guitar based music but he is far too nice, shy and not forceful enough. His conviction in his tastes should be braver and that will lead to more kudos across the boards.

Anticipation:

Why do you make such uneccessary comments sometimes? You have a sound musical base that is more eclectic than people think and you have the knowledge and intelligence to back it up. A much understood member that should post more.

Barnard 17:

Apart from admitting that queen latifah would chew you up and spit you out you are a very intelligent guy who if only put as much effort in music discussion as you do regarding Lounge posts then you could be a very respected member of the forums. Rarely have I found such a young guy with impeccable debating qualities. Such a shame it's frivolously wasted in the lounge.

Savannah:

Once again she has thrown a curveball into the equation with her new journal. I can't quite grasp the fact that she has worked in journalism yet her punctuation and spelling is terrible! Disregarding the fact that I find we have nothing in common I think she is the most misunderstood on the boards and posts from the heart before the head has engaged which gives a false impression of her. The boards would not be the same without her and I do think she has wit and style.

Right-Track:

He's a typical Northern guy with a chip on his shoulders but that doesn't lessen my opinion of him at all. Possessed of the sharpest wit near Urbans, he is steadfast in a role that he obviously doesn't enjoy anymore but still carries out with aplomb. I get the feeling that he is a damn good father, a good friend but with a seething anger underneath that really wants to spew vitriol upon many of the dumb asses we get on here. We have barely nothing in common musically but I have a lot of time for him and quite honestly think he's the business.

More to come

Antonio:

I love the fact that this guy will listen to any sort of music that comes his way but I do think that he should step back and enjoy the music he has heard instead of trying to please all of the people all of the time. Enjoy music for yourself and not for others.

Dreadnaught:

I feel that she is sometimes far too nice for her own good and judging by a few posts I sense an acerbic wit dying to come forth. Very knowledgeable about the music she likes and backs her arguments up well. An unsung heroine on the boards I think and Yes; I do think she is damn cute and admit to fancying her.

Flower Child:

She is young and good looking; yes but she also has a singular mind that has shone through in her journal. Remarkably mature for her age and blessed with an intrinsic understanding of the emotional properties of music I love reading her posts whether I like the music or not as it's always honestly written.

Bulldog:

A friend outside of the boards, Bulldog is the quintessential Englishman-polite, respectful and intelligent yet I still want to see his dark side. Loves his music as much as anyone on the boards.

Sidewinder:

Does this guy know his stuff or what? Impeccable tastes and even if not shared I love his posts and his passion for music. I feel that his musical upbringing was similar to mine but I feel that he tries to bury it sometimes. I know he likes some cheesy crap so just admit it!

Mojopinuk:

Unsure what to make of him at first as he seemed like a guy who just loved metal but has come back with more confidence and open mind. he seems like the sort of guy I could have a drink with easily and enjoy his company. One of my favourite members with no hidden agendas.

Lateralus:

Brains and beauty? A lethal combination in some people but not Kate. As Urban stated she is sometimes TOO nice but that doesn't detract from the person she is. Seems to suffer from a lack of self esteem which is perplexing at times but I have a lot of time for Kate and admire her honesty and intelligence.

Janszoon/Satchmo:

I consider these two one and the same. We have so much in common and members that I would love to meet outside of the board. Brilliantly eclectic musical tastes and knowledge, coupled with barbed wit that I love reading.

Wow, ok im havin that! Im a little surprised because ive started very few threads and i want a journal but have spent a long time trying to come up with a NAME for it! Seriously, if i had an imagination i would have started one fucking months ago. Plus i hate starting threads without good reason, because my first one or two were pathetic.

I guess my point is im not as involved as i could be, but not for the want of trying.

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides with the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon those with great vengeance and with furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know that my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee." :bringit:

About time you spoke up isn't it? ;) Where are your views?

If i recall correctly, i signed up here because i was sick of wanting to talk about metal bands that few or none of my mates were into, so i can see why you would have thought that. I was probably exclusively in and around the metal board at first. Just a few short years previously however my opinion of metal music was not good and very narrow minded so its safe to say my tastes are forever changing/expanding.

You would enjoy my company....until i drank you under the table.

*cough*

Thanks man, I feel the same way about you. And actually, fittingly, Satchmo too. I think I'd have a great time having a beer with you guys.

I'm liking this :D Thanks, jackhammer.
