Doom

It's cool, I appreciate you understanding where I was coming from. I certainly wasn't trying to come off as a whiner or anything, I just was getting confused as to where things stood. Originally I took it all as good natured joking around and stuff, but after a while I was starting to wonder if it wasn't meant with true malice towards me, so I just wanted to make things clear one way or the other. My own bandmates tease me about plenty of shit so I mean, that's nothing new lol I guess it's just that I really didn't know you much personally so it can be hard to tell and lord knows that it's easy to misunderstand shit on the internet. Anyhow, I don't want anyone on here to feel like they can't be themselves, just as long as people aren't intentionally trying to start fights or cause unnecessary trouble on the forum, because this forum's meant to be a fun outlet for us. I'm glad that everything is cleared up and thanks for offering to help us out and everything in the future, that goes above and beyond the call of duty. Sorry for letting it get to me so much.

And just when I thought I was retiring that damn hat, my roommate comes home from touring with a brand new hat for me for x-mas! Argggh, I can't escape the fucking thing now!

Hey, at least you can have a trademark hat. Not even huge "viking" helmets will fit over my skull. If I ever join a metal band, I'll need to make do with a Where the Wild Things Are tshirt or something.
 
A "Where the Wild Things Are" t-shirt is infinitely cooler than a viking hat anyday, in my opinion. Besides I think Enslaved pretty much cornered the market on that one anyhow lol

Truth be told, I started wearing the hats because I have always had a complex about my hairline. Its not falling out but I was cursed with that high hairline (thanks dad) my whole life. I've tended to wear hats off and on since I was a teen because of that. With my hair being so long, it doesn't show my forehead much but it's still something I am conscious of. After a while, the hat thing sort of became a staple of my look, like it or not. I do tend to get kind of defensive about it at times and for that I am probably in the wrong. I just want people to understand that I am not wearing it for some stupid trendy fashion sense nor because I secretly wish to be Ronnie Van Zandt lol I've kind of gotten used to how it looks on me now and though I do not wear it on a daily basis, it's just kind of a "comfort" thing at times.
The nice thing about Novembers Doom is that if you look at us as a whole, we have such a different look to each of us and we all stand out from one another. We don't try to be pretty or all macho-metal or anything. That might work against us if we tried to be Metal Edge poster boys but I don't think that's really a goal of ours anyhow!
Anyhow I'll stop rambling on about it, I have a tendency to over-explain myself, I'm sorry. Just thought I'd throw that in there to make things understood better.
 
I think you are a nice person Larry. A lot of people would have just ignored everything and maybe never checked the forum again for that matter. You have the courage to open up and explain some personal views on things people could easily take advantage of and ridicule. The internet is definately not a safe place ...

Dude I thought we were trying to go for that! Man and after I got new shoes for xmas. That blows.
 
Dear Larry,

You are one of the least-balding people I have ever met. Hell, I didn't even notice you had a forehead.

Vito,

Let's start a band and promote it by mailing pictures of our xmas presents to people in the industry.

Paul,

I think we need to add a rimshot button to the "reply to post" page because we're all cracking some goodies here.

Dear Larry,

If you're on stage and someone screams "BATARANG!" it's your own damned fault.

That's about 20-25 feet across. it only took a minute or two to make, but that's how bored we (me and a friend) were.
 
Yeah actually Paul I am pretty sure that one of us remarked about the whole "Batman" thing in the Fade sessions journal, probably Eric. Anyone who reads the Fade sessions journal on our website will understand the meaning there.....not that it was anything special. I wore this black Batman longsleeve to the studio a couple of times, and they thought it was funny, as seems to be the case with quite a bit of my attire lol
Let's see, red Motorhead longsleeve for the recording of "The Knowing", black Batman longsleeve for "TWTF".....I think maybe I should bust out my blue Fantastic Four longsleeve for the next album! Yes I like comics (make mine MARVEL) and I'm not afraid to admit it damn it.
 
Yeah actually at one point I did have a copy of the Fantastic 4 movie, not sure what happened to it. It was pretty bad overall.
And I don't have 723 Sesame Street episodes....I only have around 30 hehe. They're all from the 1969 to 1980 period. It's interesting going back and watching those shows now and realising how much drug influence was happening in those shows! Some of the cartoons and skits were very trippy and psychedelic. Paul had a couple of them on tape as well and we caught some blatant drug references on there! 1970's television, as bad as it could get at times, was nonetheless kind of fascinating because you just had to wonder who the fuck thought up some of the shit they put on!
 
i knew it!

actually, that first episode of sesame street was totally bizarre. oscar was orange, big bird had a pointy head, bert looked really maniacal with angry eyebrows and gordon (who was a different dood altogether) made a pot toking motion to some kids! i must get a copy of that for after my children grow up.
 
Dear Larry,

I will never remark on your hat again in exchange for Sesame Street episodes.
 
LOL, that can definitely be arranged. I don't honestly make a habit of watching childrens television on a regular basis, but the stuff that came out in the seventies is such a trip. Especially when you watch it and go "christ I remember this shit!" It's odd how much that stuff gets imbedded in your psyche when you're younger...anyhow, yeah I can make copies of that stuff no problem. I don't have a dvd burner or anything like that so it'd have to be VHS.
