I lurk on that board all the time and seem ok. A bit clingy and clique-y though. Get the impression they don’t really want ‘noobs’ ruining their little get togethers - a bit like the ‘Doom Forever Forever Doomed’ forum. Now THOSE guys are dicks!! Don’t ever join up there. They ostracised me basically for saying I didn’t much care me Iron Maiden.
Yes! IRON friggen MAIDEN!
I think it was mostly that I deceived them and broke their fragile little hearts. I gave them an emotional roller coaster ride that left them cold and empty.
I joined as an eager rookie asking for suggestions on what album to listen to and such and they all were jumping up and down telling me about their favorites and why it’s the best and HOW I’m supposed to listen to it.
Meanwhile, my friend Akbar sent me a copy of “Streetcleaner” to review. I talked all about how excited I was that I’d ordered the album on Ebay and the Lanchers were so excited to hear what I thought.
Then I posted a review which just shredded the everliving dogcrap out of the album. A bunch of them cried their eyes out and screamed heresy while a few just shrugged. A couple said I didn’t listen to it properly, blah blah blah.
So, I later posted a re-review where I explained in heartpounding detail how I turned out all the lights in my house and layed on the cold floor while I let the music take me to another place and fill my soul and curdle my blood . . . . I went on with a bunch of gay ass emo stuff like this and they absolutely loved it. They thought I was Ralph Waldo Emerson reincarnated in Death Metal black or something.
Then after some time I changed my mind again and told them all it was crap.
Meanwhile, I also preached that the only TRUE Iron Maiden was with BLAYZE BAILEY and I also explained the beautiful aesthetics of Panic! At The Disco and other stuff that made them really pissy that someone could like GodFlesh and other gay stuff at the same time.
This carried on for some time (I think I lasted maybe a week or two) before getting banned and all my IP’s blocked so that I could no longer even go on board to see my wonderful havoc.
I made my GodFlesh videos at that time, but I don’t think I ever got them on the Lanchers forum.
But yeah, most of them area a bunch of pissing babies. Which was why it was so fun smacking them and making them cry.
