I've got a friend who used to hang out with a bunch of horrible bands cause he used to be in a band and travelled Warped Tour, so without naming the bands, you can imagine the crap bands he knows.

I disagree, it just shows that band members are ordinary people (or at least some of them...).

Good point. It also shows that not everyone who posts on here leads the same lifestyle or frequents the same type of people. It didn't come across to me like the thread-starter was showing off that he knows famous people, just chatting about people who play in bands and you might have some sort of connection to because of mutual aquaintances, friends etc. It is only normal if you are an outgoing person who happens to go to gigs or else. Tastelss threads? Just look around the majority of those spawned everyday on the Sonic Gossip section, there are plenty to help yourself to.

once in a lifetime apology: although I personally find discussing private life stuff (of other people) poor-form on the internet, many of my own posts are intentionally made in bad taste.

my opinions about CelebREALITY postings do not reflect on my overall opinion of any poster in this thread. I'm sorry if my response made it seem as if I thought Inhuman was tasteless. I do not believe that to be the case.

anyways, my bad for coming into this sub_forum in the first place. I've learned my lesson.

Anyway, let's get back on topic, now.

Spacemen 3 (Friend who shared flat with Diamanda Galas also went out with one of them, back in the day)

here, I'll even play along with yous guys.

my best friend fucked a babe in toyland. don't judge him, he was high on junk.

The Chariot spent the night at my friend's house and we've hung out everytime they're in MN. Nice dudes.

The Spill Canvas. Same deal. Always welcome to stay at someone's house here in Willmar and everyone's cool with them.

Yeah. Just crappy emo/hardcore bands.

Baby, I think you've told us that on another thread a while ago. :) :) :)

You can only have three emoticons per post, sorry.

Hood - I spent a day with them - I showed them around the city when they played on a local festival here in 2005. I was in the organisation crew, sort of. The bass player Richard was super nice, the drummer was grumpy and annoying.

Max Tundra, M83 - the same reason. Max Tundra was weird but a very funny dude. M83 were ... French :)

I changed a couple of e-mails with Merja from Islaja after their concert in my town too. I didn't sleep with her, unfortunately, though.

Also, I spoke to Stuart Braitwaithe from Mogwai once, but that's hardly a connection.

no way.

I only asked clone if he knew her.

I don't recall mentioning that they did the nasty while hopped up on smack.

:confused: :confused: :confused: [extra emoticon]

then again, maybe I did....I'm such a fucking tasteless bastard, I just might have.

ok, I'll try a new one.

once, after a Pigface show, I sat and listened to Chris Connelly ask some poor girl for a sample of her blood. he explained that it was ok, because he was from the Red Cross.

I was this close to the ACTION: |---|

Max Tundra tried to pull my laptopper's then-girlfriend. I acted like a total cunt towards him on a separate occasion.

Fiest I made a very, very poor attempt to pull about 6 years ago.

I've been for drinks with a few semi-famous bands, I know quite a few more. Local bands, nothing any of you'd be excited with.

Stuff, yeah.

i emailed with mike watt for i bit
my cousin writes movies
my moms friend used to be the lawyer of pete townsend and paul mccartney

Aids Wolf- somewhat friends with Chloe, Yannick and their guitarist (I don't know his name). Talked to them at quite a few shows.
Smoke Judo (ottawa local band)-friends with the guitarist
Prometheus (some shitty metal band)- my brother is a drinking buddy of the bassist
Fail-Safe (80's montreal hardcore band-apparently considered pre-emo)-my uncle was their guitarist
Arcade Fire-my former babysitter (Inhuman's pre mentioned brother) is a friend of the drummer
Alanis Morrisette-my dad worked with her uncle

genghis kahn or *tron. if its tron, i just heard them yesterday and was infuriated when i realized that the sound like everything i had envisoned for my brother and i's new band, idm, no wave, synth, infused grindcore. i was uber pissed.

A decent sized number. It would definitely sound like tasteless namedropping, which I have done more than enough of in my life.

I post on the same messageboard as one of Salamander. Ladies, prepare to drop you panties in awe of my massive celebrity-by-proxy.

random videogame_person#123172983, when asked if they played the game without clothes on:



(yet another tasteless repost on my part)

One of the guitarists from Circa Survive (ick) is from my hometown and we used to play shows all the time with his old band. They were fucking awesome though.....great hardcore.

I know the members off dEUS en Millionaire personally, Belgium is a really small country.

Mind
Blown
