You can picture me based on my avatar, since it's me circa twenty years ago... just add about 40 pounds and some grey hair.

I dress like Bill Ward there. Red tights always.

Allthough BM already explained how I got on to HOM I have some amusing things I'd like to add.

I remeber when I first started lurking around here I didn't reconize the picture of Doro in MC666's old avatar so I thought it was a picture of MC666 so I thought he was a girl for a little while and of course I realized otherwise when he stared talking about how much he liked women and his dong


And since I've never met Eyesore I still picture him as ol' Herbert Kornfeld

I know scottmitchell does. For a while there he had me confused with Candice Night.

It's true. I was in a terrible way.

It reminded me of this:

"What do I need to talk for, huh? What, to blab to the neighbors about how George has a new femme Jerry friend? To tell everybody at the coffee shop how George is all mixed up in a perverse sexual amalgam of some girl and his best friend? See now, I've done all that. Now it's time for silence."

I got here from a combination of the old Ultimatum Board, the CMR, and No Life 'til Metal

I was searching for a current setlist of the Judas Priest Nostradamus tour and this came up. I liked what I saw and the conversations within the site. I also really like that it isn't dominated by one band and that everyone here isn't a fanatic of only one band. This place is all over rock and metal, I dig it.

Found the link on NLTM.

I can't imagine why anybody wouldn't, can you?

Yeah, you look like something out of a video game and eyesore looks like hilter!

I'm here because Shawn invited me when I got fed up with Lapland.

Are you a genre nazi too?

Wow! I use to post at Lapland. It's been years though. Someone should invited King Fowley over here.

Lapland is kinda lame these days...go there off and on still...

I'd invite King...but he'd just go on and on about how a lot of the band's we talk about here suck...

I went ahead and invited Kingsley anyway...we'll see what happens...

King's a good egg. But yeah, he rags on just about every band I like. But praises Gwen Stephani..... Huh?

And no, I'm not really a genre nazi...

Wow this place has more history than I thought

you could've at least acted like you thought my genre nazi blast was funny.

Like many others, I found the board through NLTM. I was searching for some Christian metal band and found Ult's site. As I was exploring the site, I read Ult's history of metal and saw that it paralleled my own experience with music. I also went through a Christian-music-only phase in college and thereafter and discovered bands like Stryper, Daniel band, etc. I had started listening to secular (hate that word, but what else to call it?) metal again and NLTM became a huge resource as I reintroduced myself to metal. I credit Ult for my discovery of Iced Earth, Nevermore, Opeth (and through them Porcupine Tree), Galactic Cowboys, and more. I have lurked at HOM for a couple years and just decided to join this summer. The raven picture is still my first avatar. Not sure why I haven't changed it...

Nah I still picture you as Howard The Duck

I can't really remember how I stumbled onto the site? Obviously I was looking something metal up, but not sure about which band. That was about three years ago, and I just used the site as a reference point for bands/C.D's that I hadn't heard of, or to have a nostalgia trip on ones that I didn't have, but was very familiar with.

I'm not much of a forum person, so I was reluctant to get on this one. I've been on the "24" forum for a good part of three and half years, but since the show has gone down the drain, and the fact that it hasn't been on since May 07, it's kind of been really boring over there.

I was doing a search for Flies on Fire on Google, and was happy to find myself pointed here...
