Goody gumdrops, and I was bored too....
Well it's good to see how people feel about this issue. Back in the days of grunge, yes i am an old cunt, moshing and fucked up mics and shit like that usually meant that it was good gig. Seems things have changed.
I am old too and it was never cool to trash a musos equipment. Never.
What Noel did this night or that night has nothing to do with Saturday night.
No, it doesn't. Those incidents are far worse. He is your mate and you care about him so you can forgive a lot, but why should we? Did you even READ his post? How can you defend THAT performance?
On this occaision Noel was having a good time to the music.
Nobody here has any issues with people having fun as long as nobody else has to suffer for it. It is common courtesy, or at the very least common sense.
Some of the replies to the Noel rant have let the cat out of the bag. The misinformation regarding anyone of his exploits is astonishing. After reading contributions from WF readers it's very obvious there has been a silent (until now) opposition to him.
The straw and the camel dude. We would have let it go if he didn't come on WF making threats. He brought this on himself, even his band is mortified at his post. As far as silent opposition goes, people tend to talk about guys who beat on chicks, but this is the first time that we are discussing it on an open forum. Again, he brought it on himself.
The dude from the Sabbath rip off band took it upon himself to be the granddaddy of the metal scene and try and sort things out like a year ten footy coach.
Mark is my hero, and pretty much IS the granddaddy of the Perth Scene. He was stepping in to defend HIS mates, just like you are defending YOURS. We all do it, the difference being that YOUR mate is the instigator of this whole mess. If the situation was reversed, do you think the same level of restrain would have been shown?
Not too sure if it's working? Are you?
OK, I have no idea what this means. Anyone care to translate?
The tough guys who want to sort Noel out.. You are no different.
Aint no tough guys here, just people speaking their mind. The only person making threats here is Noel. But don't mistake our peaceful intent for weakness, we won't tolerate any harm coming to Mark through some misguided revenge attempt.
As far as the NYE party goes who knows what happened there??
The witnesses did. Laura did. You would too if you weren't "well fucked". I didn't see it myself, but I believe the story of those who did, and frankly, his post gives us ample reason to believe it.
Was well fucked and was happy to get away form so many ugly people in one house.
Not so desperate to leave that you didn't hang out in the street. Pretty weak excuse for letting yourself get thrown out.
The Castle PA. Duh. It was blowing out and Noel shook it around to get it working. Yes not the most technical way of doing things but he was't trying to wreck it. And it was blowing out AGAIN Saturday night. So it ain't new and it ain't fixed.
It wasn't HIS though, was it? Who asked him to shake it? He can shake his speakers at home if he feels the need.
And as for who ever described his mates as dreggs or whatever...
Nobody called you Dreggs, try to pay attention Man. Simon is one of his mates and he isn't a lowlife, but it should be noted that your comments about the ladies sound pretty dreggy to me.
We are all educated have well paying jobs have travelled Asia, Europe, have children, new cars, top guitars, kept the same friendships since highschool, great family
And we are please all jus' to pieces about your wonderful life. Quietly though, I gotta tell you that none of that matters to us one fucking bit. Metal is the great leveller, the working class artform, and we are all just faces in the mosh. Your supposed wealth and success means precisely dick to us, even the Pope would come across negatively if he got shitfaced and acted like a fool. You want to impress us? Keep your friend in line. Oh, and if you could learn to write a coherant post, that would be a true delight for us also.
and most of all have entertained way better women than half the metal scrags that hang about like a bad smell waiting for someone to tell them how to dress and act like a lady.
Better women? Dude, we like our chicks the way they are, and why should they act like ladies for people who act like animals? Unbelievable.
And most of all we pour over loads of cash at the bar and don't rip off bands by sipping on the same pint all night. Our drinking equals band profits and THAT'S the business The Castle is in you suckers who think entertainment is about music.
If justifing your behavior that way helps you to get through the night, go ahead.
Wayne has got a good thing going with the metal scene. If you think it's about being your mate well think again.
Wayne is a top bloke and cares more than you think, don't try to drag him into your nonsense. I wonder, does Wayne know the trouble Noel is bringing to his venue? I KNOW he visits Western Front.
To finish off... Noel is a crazy fuck hands down but he was doing metal in the Perth scene when all the other bands were babies
He has loads of talent and all the hype and talk proves it. He ain't talking bout you but you're talking bout him!!!
Oh, we're talking alright. He just alienated half the bands in town, and if you think you are doing the other guys in his band any favours with this drivel, think again. A lot of us have been gigging for a long time, the past means nothing.
Noel stay out of trouble at least for the sake of your bank balance but I'll be at your next gig without a doubt!!
That would be ideal, maybe you can keep him under control. That is, of course, if his band doesn't dump his arse, because my band is just one band that won't be slinging gigs their way until they can guarantee his behavior.
This has been most entertaining, thanks ever so much.
