WHats funny here, is that this "wreaker" of havoc, is probably also a "wreaker" of unemployment, un-education, and immoralism. Look dude, the fact that you feel the need to slag people on here, blows my mind. Lets stick to the point..MUSIC! ANy day, any time, any place, we can have a music showdown, and trust me, you will lose. ANother thing dude, you have no life if you are replying to a message board at 2 am. No work to get up for hey, loser! - Fri, 23 May 2003 8:46am

Actually when I was saying that post was funny I was serious. It is one of the funniest comebacks Ive read in a while. Could be the 2am factor but I laughed out loud. Surprising as it may sound I do have a degree in Business, work for the Fed doling out funding for Information Highway Programs (Schoolnet, CAP, Smart Choices etc...)and own my house outright blablabla. In my spare time I play in a band, play soccer, and have just started a new business. My ex has chosen a life of drugs and living on the streets so I am also raising my 2 kids (6 and 10) on my own. I have used this board to create my band, get shows and meet some new and old friends. I have always hooked up bands with shows etc whenever possible (learned from Jay Brown who helped us out) so if I want to spend some of my time squashing little pansies like you, that come on here hoping someone will notice you, then I will. If you dont like it then i will try and be a little nicer to you for now on.....ya thatll happen cupcake. - Fri, 23 May 2003 9:57am
mike I do too have a university weducation, and being in the federal gov my self in a specialists position make more than you "pansy". I happen to be a Aviation Crash Rescue Medic. So i guess we have both established who is the bigger pansy, now on to talent. You could only wish to play with musicians as The Ref, Crow, ENder60, myself etc etc. Instead of being stoned and sleepily make comments at 2 am, try respecting and promoting those who are in the "finest" group of victoria, as your self - Fri, 23 May 2003 2:48pm

As I said, hoping someone will notice you. You said I didnt have an education and a job. I simply set you straight. I fell right into your trap so you could brag about your education and job because I sure didnt mentioned anything about you not having either. I just said youre a pansy. How does being an aviation crash rescue person make you not a pansy??? hahahah whatever. still a pansy. As for talent didnt you answer my bands ad for a 2nd guitarist??? (this is too funny) Also I hate to disappoint you sweetie but I dont smoke that hippy shit so try again unknown lightwieght.... - Fri, 23 May 2003 3:24pm

what a fucking cheeseball!!!! "Anytime, anywhere, let's have a music showdown, and you will lose". Did that loser actually say that? I must be reading it wrong, because nobody who knows how to play even 2 notes would ever think to say something so fucking cheesy! Holy fucking infantile loser. Who cares how good you are boy, you're not making any fans in this town. Way to go trashing your shitty bands' name before it even gets started pony boy. Fucking chump bitch. - Sat, 24 May 2003 6:41am
Anonymous DUDES!!! You are all missing my point here. I simply replied stating there is no need of putting negative bullshit on someones post. THIS ISNT MY BAND HERE PEOPLE, i am just defending a high potential ad. AND YES< i am in in 2 very good bands. Talent wise, the best in victoria. I am not afraid to say it. All you uneducated type out there are mistakening confidence with arrogance. There is a difference here people. Ask anyone who knows me, i am a no bullshit guy.

OMG, you guys are hilarious. I AM GOOD, i have been playing for 20 years. I am not going to stop saying i am good. This has to be one person that I wouldnt play with that is making these comments. And yes, the other guys in my 2 bands are as confident as i am. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITYH BEING CONFIDENT. ANyone? And yes i did answer gallows end ad,,,,what is wqrong with that. They emailed me and said, they were not what i was looking for. and to set the record straight because i am getting annoyed with all this. Here is the response I recieved for Gallows End ad.

"I've heard you're good and have training and all that, so honestly you'd be wasting your time with us man. We're just a shitty garage band playing straight up crossover shit with basic as hell riffs and punk beats. There's no real talent in this except we just like playing it." That came from Holly Lyons,,,SO LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE. Jesus

Why, the fact I answered an ad is coming into play here. I have done nothing but praise Gallows End, i like their shit. Tried to join their band, And the above response is what i got. So it was Wreakor of Havoc, who i believe is that started this ME BEING TOO GOOD shit. Jealousy fucking sucks. - Sat, 24 May 2003 12:48pm

attitude is not cockiness it's confidence.We will be gigging
shortly and you all can be the judges.I don't think you will be disappointed.Anyways i just wanted to put my 2 cents in because Mike is as good as he says.As for his other
band i've never heard them however,knowing Mikes high standards i'm sure they are awesome as well.

(who fuckin rip) If you look at my posts I have not insulted anyones guitar abilities (I dont play), any ones vocal abilities (i do well for what I do but am hardly the best), or anyones band. I simply responded back to accusations that I smoked weed, didnt have a job or education and I basically ripped into some pretty fuckin retarded posts. I never bragged about myself either. If poeple are upset at being a nobody (i dont care that I am) and need to brag on a chat board then they should be ready to take the crap that goes with it.

shut up and play confidence is alright, but if you have it, it's silent. people who are truly skilled at anything don't have the need to say it, they let their skill do the talking for them. you never hear a big name musician talk about how good they are, they talk about how good everyone elkse is. nobody wants to hear that shit, especially when you're nobody like everyone else. - Sat, 24 May 2003 6:46pm
Anonymous U2 talks about how good they are. Metallica talk about how good they are. Mike has never came out and said he was good until people sarting slagging him. And he has only said, if you open your eyes..his band is good. not him. fuckass piece of shiot loser - Sat, 24 May 2003 6:54pm

musicfan I don't know about u2, don't listen to 'em, but I've been a metallifan since the mid 80's, I've got tons of their videos and all the rest of it, and not once anywhere, ever, do they talk once about how good they think they are. Ever. Lay off the pipe you fucking dumbass poser. Dudes who have to talk about how good they are have an insecurity complex, I think everyone knows that. It's like when some idiot keeps bragging to chicks about how good he is in the sack. It means he has no clue, it's called overcompensating, and it's for teenagers. If yer actually good, and you know it, you don't keep saying it. That's common knowledge that any grown up has learned, it goes without saying. Get a fucking grip mike, I think we all know what's going on here. You sound like you're in a fucking Rocky movie or something you little piss ant!!

You know, if i was the ref, i would take this stalker dude, as a compliment. Look IMPOSTER and ANON-POSTER, the fact you waste so much energy into always slagging my buddy, The Ref, just goes to show how much you actually idolize him, and wanna be him. I have taken Psychology at university , and during my studies, I have learned what is called, in some fields "Auto-idol destruction" This is where one who is in envy of someone, automatically attempts to break down that person, in efforts to eliminate competition. Kinda like the way YOU also cut down homosexuals. FACT!


PS: University, especially PSYCHOLOGY, is a waste of time, unless you go in it for the long run ie. 8 years. To all you kiddies just graduating high school and want to be rock stars.....GO TO COLLEGE, take a trade on your off time. Thats where it is at. COLLEGE! Because IF you dont make it as rockers, your fucked! - Mon, 16 Jun 2003 5:09pm
