Roth Army Troll of the Month - March 2009

[WARF]

Yet you had the decent common sense to get the living hell out of South Florida, so for that you'll have my ever lasting respect.

I lived in Boca Raton, it was a real nice area.
Right near the beaches...
Tons of celebrities...
Football players...
My parents house was three houses down from Jason Bonham...
lol
That's another great story...

I went to visit my parents, and I go through the security gate... and the guard was tellin me how Jason Bonham just moved in... and when I found out where he lived... I was like fuck... that's only a few houses down... anyways...

I ran into him outside when he was taking a walk...
I said to him...
Are you Jason Bonham yadda yadda...
He lifts off his sunglasses...
And says yes yadda yadda...
I tell Jason... I fucking love Led Zeppelin...
They're my second favorite band...
He looked a bit surprised...
"So who is your first?"
Classic Van Halen with David Lee Roth!
Then he remarked... Oh, I love Van Halen... I saw them in Fort Lauderdale...
I was like, "No shit... me too... It's too bad the tour was postponed....
He then said... "Yeah, Ed's off the wagon... it's a shame really"
The whole time.. i'm thinkin to myself.... your father died from alcohol..
So I finished with the nice to meet you.... blah blah...

I saw him a few more times after that...
He said he'd hook me up if and when the band went on tour...
I had his cell number at one point and lost my phone...
Not that I would ever call him...
Oh shit... now I remember....
I was fucking wasted at a bar one time...
And Zeppelin was playin' on the juke box...
oh fuck here's another story!!

I was at a bar, and I was pretty fucking hammered...
Zeppelin was on the jukebox...
And their was some dude talkin' about the band...
And how much he loved them...
And I was like...

I got Jason Bonham's number in my phone!!!
And whatever...
So im still drinkin'... talkin' to some bitch... tryin' to take her back home...
And I forgot I left my phone at the bar!!!
So I go back and get it...
And when I look to see if I had any messages or calls....
There was like 5 fucking OUTGOING CALLS to JASON FUCKING BONHAM!!!

WTF?!?!!

When I got home and sobered up...
I was like AHHHHH FUCK!!
Did he talk to him???
DID HE LEAVE A MESSAGE?!?!
Does Jason know it was ME???
I was fucking paranoid...
LOL... DID SOME 50 YEAR OLD BUM LEAVE BONHAM A BUNCH OF MESSAGES?!?!
I never had the balls to call him after that... lol

[chefcraig]

Fuckin' classic, WARF. Nicely done.

[WARF]

Fuckin' classic, WARF. Nicely done.

Seriously, it's not funny lol

I probably would have been set up with some great fuckin' tickets...
Maybe even backstage or whatnot...
And I fucking leave my phone at a bar...
Acting like a fucking bigshot fool... thinkin im cool cuz I got Bonham's number....
I might have even met Page and Plant... but no...

Instead I got some idiot 50 year old... probably singin' a redneck karaoke version of, "Immigrant Song" on his fucking answering machine!!

[Panamark]

Andy Taylor ! had to go with him. His taste in music is everything
I stood against as a head banging metal kid. Even as I get older
that whole Duran Duran/Flock of Segulls/Spandau Ballet/Bronski Beat/Thompson Twins
Boy George/Is that a guy or girl standing in front of that computer
backing track?, 80's scene... still manages to piss me right off.

I feel compelled to warm the tubes in the JCM800 and play Hells Bells
at 11, just to calm down !!!!!

Andy was an easy choice. (And he loves The Red Teletubbie ?)
I still dont understand how the links banned him, he seems a
prime candidate to be a Mod over there.... Or a links posterboy !

Time to chuck "Ride the Lightning" into the CD tray....

WARF,

Your neighbour was Jason Bonham ??
Mate, thats freakin awesome. And you
had his phone number too ?!
Should have asked for Mr Page's number !!

Imagine walking around Jimmy's house.
I have this mental image of an old castle
with a massive old library stacked with
Aleister Crowley and various other
witchcraft and sorcery type books...
Kinda like a scene out of Harry Potter !! lol...

Im impressed, dont think many of us can
boast having a neighbour that well known.

Mega Cred Dude !!

[chefcraig]

I dunno...Andy simply does not meet my definition of a troll. The truth is, he starts threads about bands he likes, yet tends to go a bit overboard with the presentation, which draws the ire of people. He returns fire, and suddenly it's a cluster-fuck.

Really, I believe if the fellow merely started a thread about a band without the hyperbole ("greatest band", "Beatles of the Eighties", ect.) people would accept it, or ignore it and simply move on. The fact is, the guy is engaging and usually knows what he is talking about. Like I said, it's only when he is treated with hostility does he then respond with it. I believe that the truth lies in the notion that the fellow may be a tad naive in how the place operates (for instance, the Hagar thread).

At least that has been my observation. And considering the fact that there are a handful of true sociopaths here making certain that they hop on the short bus to the library each morning in order to foul the site, Andy's endeavors pale by comparison. I could be wrong, and after all this is just MHO, of course.

I don't think it's a big deal really.
I lived in Boca Raton, is equal to the East coast version of Beverly Hills.
I've met Niko From Iron Maiden grocery shopping...
Saw Joe Pesci at a restaurant...
Mandy Moore at WHOLE FOODS...
They're everywhere...

To be perfectly honest... I didnt feel celebrity shell shocked by his presence...
The only time I mentioned anything about his father...
Wasn't about his music or Led Zep...
I told him... It must be hard being a young kid and losing a father...
That was another conversation... i'm not gonna get into that...

[WARF]

Actually, Nicko McBrain is an active member at my friends church...
He's a devoted born again christian of all things lol
If you live in Florida... go to Spanish River Church in Boca Raton on sunday...
I promise you will see him there when the band isn't touring lol

Well Craig, I can understand like in the cases of Duran or Hagar how it could draw people's ire. 80s Beatles wasn't mine btw. But I don't see why it has to be so. I have my way of getting folks to see a point and I employ a mix of humour, antagonism, irony and sarcasm especially when I'm up against a blind dismissal of something. Trolls (if that's the word) like terrorists react to some initial aggression, so I'm glad you seem to have noticed that. To me this outright mental rejection of Duran or a whole number of things is as annoying as when people blindly go with some religion or take the hardcore atheist route. It's part and parcel of a group mentality. To use Duran as a metaphor for the world's bigger issues, this mentality is why I feel we're almost certainly on the path towards mutually assured destruction.

Pretentious, moi? I'm clowning around by mentioning Duran there (literal types) but it's something that bugs me on a daily basis. People so firmly ensconsed within their own groups, formed on the basis of the most shallow things. Everyone taking an emotional reaction to something, not questioning themselves or seeing that they're as fucked up as the group they're slagging. I feel about it the way Demoncunt would about bible thumpers.

[GAR]

GAyR irritates me the most, by far...

Wasn't he speculating the death of the son of a longtime poster because he joined the (U.S.) Army? Yeah, Gar, Mr. right wing superpatriot...

Wha?

I wished that vet, John LetsRock would fucking hang himself - but that was on the ddlr board, not here.

Maybe he got it right, and hung hisself. We don't see him round no more so...

Otherwise I got no beef with any other vets? Am I wrong? Or are you reading into some other beef-thread 5 or 6 years old or something.

bastardson

For his lame attempt at covering up the fact he's a cadaverdouche alias

I followed that thread as it happened, and it's not so clear to me Cad is also B-Son okay..

My supertroll powers determine Andy is not cut of the same cloth, he's just a regular guy like the rest of you Mortals.
