Pet Peeves

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I wonder is there anybody, poster or lurker, who wasn't born when MI started 

[Caomhaoin]

Annoying 'criminologists' and other 'experts' on true crime shows. No insight and pure irritating.

My wedding ring falling off my finger because I was a disgusting fat body when I bought it and now I look like God.

My wedding ring falling off my finger because I was a disgusting fat body when I bought it and now I look like God.

I am gone the opposite, for years I had a very physical job and I was like a rake, ring was loose on me, now I am various combinations of fat, bald, and grey, and my ring just stays welded into my finger.  Pet Peeve: falling out of the good habit of very regular hikes and walks.

How old was MI, 2000?  Definitely.
There's also way way more people lurking here than I ever imagined, lots of lads at gigs have mentioned to me they browse here regularly or get sent links to threads and would never register.

Are there any young pups full of jizz and vinegar getting ready to unleash black magic hell ?

It would be massively depressing if the youth chose to voice themselves by treading the tired tracks of 40 year old form of music, instead of finding their own style, their own means of expression. Metal used to be exciting when was successive generations finding a way of their own to say what they needed to say. Seeing young lads doing the Morbid Tales poses in a cemetary has been done to death, pun intended.

Yes, I'm one of the older cunts here.

That's true, the young pups full of fire have no time for the ongoing wonder that is our seasoned opinions.
The folly of youth.

47, and I think forums are only really used by ould lads like us. Even Facebook is passé now, probably rightly.

Agreed. 47 here also. Would not have it any other way.   Always wondered what the age demograph was like. My suspicions have been answered.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Ah sure, to resurrect a long-running joke, nar marratuk was probably already 47 when the first MI forum was started

47 here too, quite a gang

41. I was 19 when MI started up (2001,) and I thought it was incredible to have contact with people who had such a deep knowledge of metal. It opened my eyes and broadened my horizons, and often made me re-evaluate older stuff that seemed irrelevant to me coming out of the 90s where metal magazines routinely shit on old stuff. You would hope a few younger heads are getting a similar education here.

[Caomhaoin]

40 here. 'Some laugh'.

Chris is at least 2 years older than me which is enjoyable

Since I passed 40, I do find myself having to double check the year and date to get my age right. In my head, I've been 42 since the beginning of this year, but tis not actually til end of next month. I think I feel more exhausted than old; maybe that's just what old feels like, but I think even at 20 if I'd put myself through the last few years (notably including arrival of kid) I'd have been just as shattered from it

The sprogs will wipe you out, no mistake. A great bunch of lads but they really need to come with a mute button. Same could be said for a few of us here too

45 and after 10 years off from it heat back into a rehearsal space with the 3 chaps from my old band.
It's just for fun rather than one more run at the title.

[Eoin McLove]

What band were you in?
