Why the Animosity?
Come on, people. Really? Why must there be so many petty, childish arguments? Is this really how we repay Nate for all of his efforts to keep this site in existence? In the newsletter, Nate mentioned how maintaining the site wasn't fun for a while, but that he seemed to be coming around a little bit. The fact that every post turns into an argument is not going to improve the situation or his feelings. Granted, I am not the most active member of this site. At only 34 or so posts, many senior active members may disregard this plea for peace. I can only hope that my concern is not falling on deaf ears. We are all passionately opinionated about AC/DC and arguments are bound to happen. But personal attacks are out of line and inappropriate. In closing, come on people! This is a great site about a great band. Let's not allow ego and childish name-calling ruin it for the majority. Thank You
Well said, thanks. I agree with PWRiley, quit being jerks to each other.
let's bring it to an end, i had a part in this but i call troose, lets go back to being AC/DC fans, and ease the heavens on NATEs shoulders. like the great Scott said; Rock In Peace...
"many senior active members may disregard this plea for peace" Perfect example of how this forum operates
I totally agree... I suppose I should appoligize,but I swear I had to say something the other day. I usually don't go all "childish" like that,(it's the internet for Christ's sake....) I'm hear for AC/DC,not argue with "people"
ya we should all apoligize for whats been happening with arguments happening every 3rd post, i just posted that as something to talk about and how it could affect the band i didnt know it would get tht far off topic If you strongly disagree then we should just not comment so an argument doesnt happen
The only reason I acted as I did,was because for no reason what so ever I was insulted. Stuff like that is just un-called for.
Just enjoy the rock and roll, folks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYSpuOVxedE
probably because before the last tour, any posts, well approx 60%, tended to descend into some kinda argument, boredom I guess,but hey ho,thats why you dont see the usual posters around too much,when theres nothing to say,they tend to say not a lot!!
Apologies for me also. I will just give an advice to all the members but one. If that one member jumps again and insult you with no obvious reason just ignore him.If there was an "ignore" button i would have pushed it a long time ago. So just ignore and let Nate handle it. And on the opposite side you can also ignore me if you like. So peace, back to normal pro 2008 good ol' DC bushing :P
Oh don't worry,I plan on doing just that, haha
Sap, many ignore your big fat ego, so no problems there ;)
There's only four members worth ignoring: 01.) nightprowler1226 02.) daclarob 03.) sapator 04.) rockandrolldamnation All four of them are unable to come to terms with the fact that AC/DC is a part of the entertainment industry. So while these four clowns criticize AC/DC for making a living on there terms from there basements, AC/DC is out there touring the world and racking up digits in there bank accounts. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you don't like what AC/DC is doing than find some other stuff to listen to. It's that simple. Unfortunately, these four guys have more estrogen than testosterone in there shells, and one even turns disagreements with other members into a chance to spit his political beliefs. Once a bitch...Always a bitch. A band like MegaDeth or Rage Against the Machine would fit these goofs better, and there whiny, feminine, emasculated comments on this forum. That's my two cents.
?????? did I upset ya son? if so was never my intention,if you disagree with me please feel free to say so,but do me a favour,keep yer insults for the playground. To the best of my recollection ive never insulted you,so please elucidate upon when, if you see fit that is. yours Dave
"There's only four members worth ignoring: 01.) nightprowler1226 02.) daclarob 03.) sapator 04.) rockandrolldamnation" For the record. Speach of right anyone. I canīt really say that thos four are really that bad as you all say. I have been on this site for like 3 years and never had a problem with them. And thatīs also my current oppinion so far. You can still leave this forum if you have a problem with them. Simple as that. One day every person comes to a point where he is critizising the stuff his favourite band is doing.
@ DD+MT Well said, best post I have seen this week. Although never had a problem with NP, but the rest I can truly say make the list. @Patrick I agree we all can leave, but why? I have come on here only a short time and one poster continues to rant and rave as DD+MT stated. This war has been ongoing, but I will stay out since I have seen others who do not post regularly come here and they all reiterate the same thing which is we all should get along. Yes, there are a few here who have a big ego, but you can't fix stupid. With that said I will still contribute to Nate's site since it is his site and I appreciate the work he has done. However, the name calling and slandering of a certain member from the band is uncalled for (you know who you are) and if you call it humor, I do not find it funny because AC/DC put out some great albums with Phil, regardless of his personal problems (again, I say personal). There have been a lot of bands who lost members due to drugs and other addictions, however they found a way to move on without criticizing or bashing a member. In fact, go and read "Maximum RNR" and you will see Bon almost caused the band to come to a halt. Yes, this is true, read the book. So with that said, I am pulling out of this childish and immature namecalling and will only post to those who are true fans like DD+MT and myself along with a few others. Out of 25,000 members, why do only a few post? I asked this question when I first joined but maybe because of the egos of some who throw out their insults and name callings like "idiots" or "retards" (again, you know who you are) at those who want to post or have posted. No one is perfect, I admit I am not, but if the name calling continues and this does not stop, I will defend remarks in bad taste thrown at me. Let's enjoy the music of AC/DC from all the years and ALL the members who have gotten them this far. Peace
To be honest,those 4 haven't ever bothered me either,and I've been hear for about a Year and A Half. Daclarob has always been cool towards me, Sap...well,Sap's just Sap. You either love him or hate him.He speaks his mind,whatever floats his boat I suppose.Still a fan regardless. Nightprowler1226 is only hated because of the bootlegs he has,and he doesn't like it when people bug him for bootlegs that he promised he wouldn't leak from his source.Never had a problem with him really.(but some others have issues,I understand that) Rockandrolldamnation usually seems like a cool dude. To be truthful,fuck I don't have issues with anyone here. Didn't really mind jspr96 until recently. I'm tired of fighting on here,I think I'm just gonna call a truce. Except it or not,fuck it. That's to you jspr96,I may not agree with you,but I don't want to continue this pointless shit we're doing. I really don't care about it anymore, I'm gonna post about the band and keep personal shit like name calling to a minimum.We're becoming like Rising Power over here,and this place is better than that. -Cheers
Thanks Flick and as I just stated its not worth fighting over here. I will step back and deal with my issues as well. I call a truce also. AC/DC has always been a part of my life and it is more than just music for me, it runs deep and now with the loss of my friend who went to a couple of Milwaukee gigs with me, its been hard. I have seen a psychiatrist who put me on meds, which is helping, but I still have some anger in me due to the way my friend's body was disposed of my the bastards he was with. I was the second person who got called since he had no family and had to go to the hospital in which by that time he was gone. This is one of the reasons I may come across offensive to some, but I guess my bond and feelings towards the band are so strong, its hard to see the band get criticized either on a business or entertainment level. Anyway, not to put my problems on anyone here I hope we can enjoy everything AC/DC has given us and hope we can see more in the future, even with a live album if be. Peace
fair do's jspr96,but as ive said before, not all will say things you agree with,dont make em wrong,dont make you right. Does make for varying opinions tho' you say tomatoe,i say tomato etc and criticism of anything is surely evidence that people care enough to comment,kinda worrying if nobody bothered their arse about anything they did. Dave
Thanks Dirty Deeds and Money Talks for putting me 3rd on the list, although i thought i would have been at least second :) (NP is hard to beat) . So people who have contributed here since the site started with boots,cd's,lp's,inside info etc are the problem, right? Also it's the first time ever i see someone having a problem with daclarob. And believe it or not i had some arguments with rockandrolldamnation a couple of year ago but we didn't end up doing like mad monkeys. As for jspr96 i don't have a problem calling me names,i'm more durable to insults from other people and believe me i'm really holding back because i respect the site. As i've said again i was pissed that he said the site was bullshit and then he claimed to be a true fan and us untrue must leave the site. Anyway as seen that he has issues i really don't want to make it harder for him so it's over from me.But don't call names on the site because you insult the people that supported Nate's work for more than a year or two that most of you are here. N i don't have a problem with people here, even with DirtyDeeds that get's pissed whenever we tell that DC have been sold out.LOL man he get's pissed and writes back at once, LOL.Come on, i can accept that someone can't take it when somebody talks about flaws on their favorite band but you can either think why we say that or answer back CALMLY or just ignore.I mean do i have some gain on bushing DC?I just say what i see.My judgment may be wrong for some and i accept that.Your judgment of believing the band is flawless in every aspect may be wrong for me.Prove me wrong and i will be the first to tell you i am wrong. So can we end up this cuz it's getting boring. Express your opinion in a proper manner and don't call others names.Can we do that people?We have been doing it for all these years, so i can stop writing long post that hurts my knees?...Yep i wrote this with my kness :P
Riff Raff, Personally, I consider Daclarob (Dave) to be a long-standing friend from our days on this site and the AC/DC trading hub eons ago. NP and SAP are good guys as well. Let's all agree to disagree and move on in a positive light so Nate continues to run the #1 site on the internet. Scotty from Detroit (acdc74)
I hate arguing on the internet, it's stupid. Especially when AC/DC hasnt dont much since the tour and Phil's weed problem. So lets just get back to talking about AC/DC and the music they play.
"I hate arguing on the internet, it's stupid." Can't say it any better, Thread Closed.
@ acdc74 Ruddisgod667 Flick Very well said and I feel the same after my bad. Thread indeed closed.
LMMFAO!! how the fuck did i miss this 1?? dd&mt,you're just pissed at me cause i won't trade or sell you those recordings that you been after since i mentioned that i had them. you just can't handle the fact that money can't buy everything,especially me. i gave my word to the person that i got those recordings from & it drives you up a wall knowing there's no way you'll ever get them unless i decide to let them out(which i won't). keep on with your stupid shit,it's really good for a laugh & you had me laughing at you from day 1. what a dumb fuck you are,lol!!!!!!!!!
"Thanks Dirty Deeds and Money Talks for putting me 3rd on the list, although i thought i would have been at least second :) (NP is hard to beat) ." thanks sap,i am #1 in the battle department & i always have & always will win in the end. now to go listen to a few things that a certain someone thinks money can buy from me,eat your heart out you certain someone,LOL!!!
