    Default Good Bands, Silly Fans

    so what good bands have you noticed that have idiotic fans?

    There's one in particular whos fans are funny. I won't name names, but their fans have been known to use the bands lyrics in their signatures to appear intelligent.

    +20 to whoever can name the band with silly fans

    LOL we need a better hint to be able to guess it, there's tons of band lyrics used in sigs, most of which are in fact silly

    Then you're not looking at the right places. Can't say I've seen any here, but at GameFAQs and IGN (both has shitty forums with mostly fanboys, but whatever) there are plenty.

    (Rep for Rosa Kato, by the way )

    And exactly who are we to judge what people can and cannot put in their sigs? Please don't show your "intellectual superiority" by insinuating people who put lyrics in their sig only pretend to be smart.

    <i>so what good bands have you noticed that have idiotic fans?</i>

    Tell me what bands you like Man and I'm sure I can point out at least a few.

    Um I'm not sure who the comment was directed at, but if I was included feel free to read everything I posted -again- and restate your assumptions.

    I wasn't talking about you Tosca or Howie. Just Man who is apparently the God of signatures or something along those lines.

    Every band has one or more "silly fan", but some got a bit more than other bands.

    (Did I mention I jumped into a discussion of Tool once, and was flamed for "not being smart enough to understand them and their lyrics"? All I said was "There is not genre called "Smart Metal" and I get flamed. )

    Yea I don't fully agree with the way he put that comment either, but I have noticed some lyrics or particular bands get sort of trendy in signatures, which I think is unoriginal and lame. I mean that's one of the cool things about creating a sig that has a quote is the originality. I don't think it has anything to do with if they are or aren't intelligent.

    Bands usually have multitudes of idiotic fans it isn't something that has to be pointed out. I was just commenting on Man's need to point out his intelligence over theirs...

    That's kind of funny because I recently saw an interview of Maynard (with APC) and he was saying that he doesn't like to answer fans when they ask what is X song about, or the meanings and that he'd rather leave the interpretation up to the listeners instead. so that was cool. So you shouldn't have gotten flamed for that, that's just silly.

    I try not to get involved in disputes about people I talk to choice in music to avoid events like Howie mentioned. Insulting a persons favorite band sometimes is like insulting their religion.
