Spill Your Guts: What You Really Think About MB members

Probably the second funniest guy on musicbanter. Also one of the nicest to boot. This guy is hard working, attentive, generous and brilliant all in one package. He's always got something interesting to say, and it's always great to discuss stuff with him. That and he's norwegians, and norwegians automatically rule.

ethan aka sleepy jack

THE funniest guy on musicbanter. Also probably the most intelligent. This guy is going to be famous one day, and I'll be able to say "I used to make fun of this guy so harshly". Always a good sport and criminally misunderstood here. This guy has a pretty good perspective on life, love and the world in general. We also share the same sort of humour, you know, the type that makes everyone hate us. He's also soft as a teddy bear.

Anteater

This guy knows more about prog than anyone else on musicbanter. And he's an awesome guy to boot. Always willing to try something new and probably the least elitist of our proghead clique. A really nice guy to talk to as well.

Jackhammer

We've had our ups and downs, but generally it's cool now. Always has a bit of a patronising tone that can get on my nerves but he's a good guy underneath it all.

Seltzer

I cry manly tears every day at the fact he doesn't post as much as he should do. His King Crimson thread was the main reason I didn't troll this forum like I intended too when I joined. Also likes Windir which makes me happy.

Boo Boo

This guy is hilarious. Knows about as much about prog as he does about life. But the forum wouldn't really be fun at all without him. For some reason thinks I'm a musician because I have an avatar with me holding a guitar. I think it looks cool, that's the only reason I have it.

Urban Hatemonger

Brutally honest and I love it. Also needs to finish that fucking Fall thread. If you don't do it soon I'll make my own and beat you to the punch.

CAPTAIN CAVEMAN

We have nothing in common but this guy is very funny, in a cutting intelligent way.

Wayfarer

Often very fun to talk too, but needs to poast moar.

Dac

Randomly hates me now because he can't take a joke. I guess I am incredibly obnoxious but I thought we have a lot of similar tastes.

Comus

A massive douche. I swear everytime I read this guys posts I just rage quietly to myself inside. He's so abrasive and annoying, always acting so uppety. Also likes **** bands like Green Day and Feeder that make me doubt everything he says. A clear troll, no idea how anyone could like him or take him seriously.

Ok, I've copy/pasted some usernames that I've gotten to know somewhat. I'll try to be as nice as possible but it would be really boring if this just became another ass-kissing contest. I've made some more personal connections with some of these people but I'll try to keep my observations to their forum activities.

Right-Track
Probably the funniest guy here. I'm not sure why he sticks around though, there was never much here for him, as far as music goes. I still haven't figured out what he listens to outside of Northern Soul. Ok, there's Talking heads and Joy Division but nothing much from the last 20 years which is where 90% of my favorite music comes from. As rare as his posts have become, they're always a pleasure to read. (:

Urban Hatemonger
Ok, I've never much liked him, mainly because it seemed to me from the start that 90% of his musical choices are conscious efforts to be as bizarre as possible. That's probably not true but I've never been able to shake that feeling. On the plus side, he does seem to have an encyclopedic knowledge of music, on the downside, not particularly good in debates of any kind which is unfortunate seeing as he enjoys starting arguments. If you challenge him to articulate his opinions he usually runs away or gets pissed off after a few posts...which of course amuses me.

Jack Hammer
Extremely enthusiastic about music, almost as enthusiastic about films, don't particularly share his tastes in either which is why I get the urge to argue with him on a regular basis. Also...way too insecure which he tries to compensate with some bizarre wordiness. I'd say he needs to learn how to relax...absolutely indispensable for musicbanter though, I'd say 70% of the new and exciting stuff which I'm too lazy to participate in but other members seem to enjoy is down to his seemingly unending enthusiasm. So, keep it up...(:

Sleepy Jack
My homey, very intelligent, super funny, don't share his taste in music at all. In the last year or so has changed somewhat dramatically. I suppose he's outgrown this place but old habits die hard. He'll probably leave eventually, I don't see much keeping him here...:\

TheBig3KilledMyRainDog
Oh what to say...I don't think any other member gets on my nerves this much. I'd say he's almost as insecure as Jackhammer and tries really hard to impress people but is pathologically inarticulate. I think he's smart, just not as smart as he thinks he is or hopes to be. Unfortunately, knowing your intellectual capabilities and limitations is one of the things I most value in people and he just hasn't admitted his own. Edit: And he sulks like a 5 year old...

Janszoon
Nice guy. Chilled out. I appreciate that....in others...

Toretorden
Our music tastes and interests are very different but you can see he's very smart. The fact that he can come off as really smart while communicating in a different language speaks to his intelligence. But...even though he's my age he acts like he's in his 30s. Not a bad thing I suppose, especially for a mod, but I'm the exact opposite so I don't see much in common. Hopefully this place won't become too serious with him doing the policing.

Dreadnaught
I love smart and funny ladies, and I think she sometimes ventures into the indie forum which is an added bonus. Other than that, she reminds me of swim.

Boo Boo
Weird but ok. Smart and self-critical which I appreciate. I'm sure he'll realize one day that most anime he watches are really just exotic cartoons for silly 10 year old girls. Btw, have you checked out Mononoke yet?? Now that is fucking anime.

Savannah
Typical "girly girl". I'm sure she's aware of it, and I like her well enough, but I like women who are more empowered so to speak.

333
Like this girl for example, smart, funny with a dash of bitchiness. I'd definitely tap that....if I was into vagina...

Lucifer Sam:
Smart and into indie? Yes please. Plus, for some reason he reminds me of Gentelman Johnny...not a bad thing, I love that guy.

Comus:
Douche in every possible sense of the word. Could have something to do with his avatar, every time I see it I get the urge to punch him in the face. We don't share tastes in music so thankfully I don't need to read his posts that often. Although he does have his lol moments, I'll give him that.

JayJamJah:
The dude was fine, until that whole water boarding incident which made me wonder what the hell goes on in his head. No idea what his tastes in music are, apart from the Van Morrison obsession. Had a sneaky suspicion he wouldn't be able to maintain a consistent interest in this forum, and I was right, and I love being right. Not that I'm ever wrong...

Rainard Jalen:
One of the very few people with a similar taste in music. Doesn't spend enough time here for me to get to know him better but he does seem to go overboard with some of his arguments.

Sweet_Nothing: Also reminds me of Ethan a few years back. And an unabashed Coldplay fan which is a major bonus.

Veridical Fiction:
One of the most pleasant new additions. Smart and articulate, and lgbt friendly, all very surprising considering his army background but that's just my prejudice talking.

Cardboard Adolecent:
Ever since he got into college he's become a stereotypical Linklater character, a tad too pretentious for my tastes, but you can always learn something from guys like him which is why I'm glad he's still around. He's never been too bothered with this forum though.

Molecules:
Chilled out and funny, gives out the vibe of upper middle-class Britishness, which gives me a major boner. Shame we don't share that much as far as music tastes go.

Nonsubmissivewife
Me likes. I get the feeling she'd be very easy to get along with, maybe because she hasn't gotten cross with me for teasing her. Always a good sign...(: No idea what she listens to.

Bane Of Your Existence
A slightly more abrasive/macho version of Veridical. Also no idea what he listens to.

Ok, seriously, there are way too many members in this place and I've become too lazy to read all of your shit so I haven't been able to develop a better picture of anyone who joined post 2007. And not enough people consistently post in the indie section which is all I'm really interested in here, aside form the occasional lgbt related thread....or any other chance to flame on big3...AHAHA. Myes.
