Thanks. The funny thing about those other people that have these wildly outrageous opinions of me. it's not like they just met me. They have known me for years and they still don't understand me as well as you and a few other new members do and I've only met you guys recently.

Yeah, german tuners that YOU HAVE seen. You haven't seen mines yet and you are going to be in for a surprise.

Thank you, Milano. Hopefully my journal isn't just a pretty face! I try to take my time with my content as well as my design. I hadn't expected even this much to come from it, and I've been surprised by how much I enjoy working on it.

I would love to throw out some opinions, but it seems that I spend more time on here conversing with those whom I have differing opinions with, than I do with those of you whom I actually like and admire, so my judgment may be slightly skewed. I was out of the loop for a while, and many of the old members (or "MuBa's" as we used to refer to ourselves as) that I was fond of are long gone.

djchameleon: Very cool cat. Most likely has loads of the same content in his music library that I do. He always speaks his mind, regardless of the outcome (which is quite admirable). Most definitely one of my favorite members.

Dirty: Has an extensive knowledge of, and love for hip-hop and rap, which is what makes him relatable to myself. He can come off as a bit abbrasive at times, like there is no filter between his consciousness and his mouth (so whatever is on his mind will come out). His opinions seem pretty honest though.

Vanilla: She is pure eye-candy. I haven't the slightest clue of her musical tastes, as I tend to stop listening and reading when an attractive female is involved. But in all seriousness, she is quite level-headed and most likeable to interact with.

Il Duce: His posts tend to catch me off guard at times, so it's kind of hard to form a valid opinion. He does make me laugh though, sort of like the cool uncle that your family shuns.

Laces Out Dan (LesPaul43): Cool guy, he's one of my old favorites. He's big into sports, as am I. I don't get much interaction with him, as I was unaware of who he was when I came back (damn username changes!)

Buzzov*en / Pooka: I feel that it is acceptable to lump them together, as my feelings toward them are consistant. They are very argumentative and enjoy provoking aimless banter for their own amusement. They start and contribute stupidity to many threads on here, then go behind everyone's backs and laugh about it on their other music forum. The word "troll" seems fitting.

TheBig3: Very well-spoken and extremely knowledgeable on music, politics and religion. His discussions from back in the day regarding the Iraq War were epic.

Word.

Keep an eye out for stray hairs. :p: No but seriously folks, I digress.

I like a lot of people on here. Paloma, Janszoon, Urban Hatemonger, RVCA, Il Duce, Aurora, Vanilla, djchameleon, storymilo, holly, loose_lips, Vegan, Neapolitan, James, dreadnaught, tore, jackhammer, etc. For all different reasons of course. Others as well. Pretty much everyone I see.

My first mention in about 40 pages :D
Thanks man, you're probably the nicest guy on here.

James - If I get hit by a bus tomorrow I like to think that he would take on my role as forum curmudgeon and do great things.

Janszoon- we are both similar in age, outlook on life, grew up with the same music and still look for new music and ideals way past the age when we should have hung up our slippers and remain set in our ways. I would genuinely love to meet him for a drink.

Urban - I think that his humour and no nonsense approach would annoy me in everyday life but only because he would reveal truths that you don't really want to accept, yet I absolutely like this guy so much. He is the epitome of frankness.

Tumor - she is a self confessed bitch but I have rarely come across someone that can articulate what she feels and why she feels that way and still command an audience. Self pity never enters the equation. She could tear me a new ******* at any time and knows it yet I never find her offensive. Not to all tastes but is far more intelligent than she realises.

Right Track- I don't like Man U fans whatever their background and history to their hometown club but this is an inbuilt prejudice. Even if I never get to meet him I am utterly confident that he is the sort of guy who would give u the shirt off his back even if u didn't know him. A true British gent.

Mojopinuk - When people ask what is great about Britain I think of this fella. Funny as ****, witty but he has that dark, seething fury about him that one day will explode and still won't blot his copybook. I have a lot of time for him.

NSW - The most infuriating mod for years. So much to say and bags of intelligence but so conspicuous by her absence. I feel she has so much to give here but never gets the chance to say it.

Big3 - The best enigma on MB. One of the best posters on here by far. Maddening, infuriating but ridiculously readable. I miss him when he is away.

Sidewinder - Probably the finest non mod ever. The guy is a walking encyclopedia of music but is so unassuming about it all.

Dankstra - Exists in some other dimension that most of us don't know about. Thoughtful, direct and erudite. Still want to find her sense of Humour though!

Paloma - Talk about music ffs. U like your music and have intelligence. Show it and be the great member that I know u can be.

Tore - an awesome guy that should sometimes just be himself and not an 'ideal' that he thinks he should be. He is ridiculously intelligent yet I know he has humour in abundnance. Show it!

Bulldog - I hate this guy only because he is one of the very few that lives and breathes music but still has this need to be nice all the time. Stop it! U have intelligence and charisma but are not forceful enough! you could shame 80% of the forum with your knowledge and enthusiasm. Show it more please!

Loose Lips - Miss this guy like crazy. Witty as **** and wise beyond his years. One of the few people to introduce new bands to others whilst having this reticent attitude to do so. Be more forceful and have conviction.

Vanilla- despite the cliched sexual predator role she has forged for herself, Vanilla is one of the most intriguing members I have met on MB. Sexually aware and enticing with it, she also has an amazing capacity to make people warm to her which is no mean feat. Far more intelligent than she acts. Vanilla has an amazing knack of being intriguing and desirable both physically and mentally. A night out with Vanilla is a secret wish of mine.

This is really about the older members (in terms of time here) and not a hankering for times past.

Plenty of recent members will get the jackhammer treatment soon ;)

Hehe, this is probably fair. I'm glad you see me as funny and witty, I don't necessarily try to be, but I do enjoy messing around here and am rarely completely serious in anything I say. It's one of the many reasons I continue to have fun here, and generally speaking, I quit messageboards within a matter of weeks because I don't find any fun in it.

At times I feel a sense of humour is lacking here, even though most members have fantastic ones.

Ready for action!



As for that whole, forum has gone to **** talk I kinda agree. Too much sex talk these days. Hopefully things will pick up.

Il Duce-Quickly becoming a caricature of himself.

clutnuckle-The most underrated member on here, has an amazing way with words and an interesting viewpoint on any topic.
