For me personally, groupies fucking annoy me. I'm not a rockstar or anything, but when I'm having a good conversation with a band I like, talking about MEANINGFUL things such as inspirations, opinions, etc., and not-so-meaningful things like how much beer we can drink or something silly like that, it really pisses me off when some fucking bimbo butts in and all but drops to her knees. I could feasibly see Danny and Vinnie especially getting annoyed by this. I'm sure they don't really have a good conversation very often with people who want them to sign their tits.
The entire band are super easy-going and laid back. They were surprised to see an American in Italy at the concert, and we just chatted about opinions, the state of music and how Anathema fits into it, a possible US tour, etc. For me, Anathema is a band that enlightens; groupies, albeit very hot, only detract from that enlightenment, in my opinion. I'm sure they serve their purpose when needed, but I see nothing interesting with them.
