Topic: Biggest Fanboy on ProgArchives Posted: June 06 2006 at 07:25 |
^ 54754874384230 posts with 'Pierre Moerlen' as content in the 54754874384230 'Best drummer' polls on PA.
Still, not on Threefates' level...

Oh come on Friede,methinks thou do protest too much!
Whilst I admit that but for you hardly anyone on the site would even know his name,( ![](smileys/smiley17.gif) )this is largely because at one point you seemed to mention his name every other post!
I think Friede you are the number one fan person on this site...

^ fair enough. Peart definitely has his fair share of fanboys here. And I'm not questioning Pierre Moerlen's talent.
Re the 'fanboy' vs 'fangirl' thing, please read Tony's post I quoted.
EDIT: Although I cannot compare your devotion to Moerlen to Threefates' manic devotion to ELP. I apologise for this. I didn't read Tony's post attentively enough.

Yep.
Another example - BaldFriede and Pierre Moerlen.
Also, what is a 'Biggest Fanboy...' poll without Valarius?
Although I never saw him flame anyone in defence of DT, so maybe this
disqualifies him...

I'm not a "fanboy" of Pierre Moerlen, for the main reason that I am not
male. And even if you want to call me a "fangirl", then please mention
all the Neil Peart fanboys too. Pierre Moerlen WAS an extraordinary
drummer; you don't win the Premier Prix du Percussion of the renowned
academy of Strasbourg if you are not. The man has inspired and
influenced my style of drumming more than anyone else.

And me! I am almost a fully fledged VdGG fanboy.
I have all the studio albums, some bootlegs of live concerts (quite a few actually), the VdGG Biography, a VdGG T-Shirt and keychain... and I've seen them live too. I've even got two of the The Long Hello vinyls!
Only thing I've not yet done is meet them.

that doesn't proove anything. I got the same thing going on with Rush: 30 discs in my cd binder, 5 shirts, keychain, 2 posters, 3 DVDs, neil's books, a belt buckle, 2 stickers on my truck (one that is about 8 inches that says "rush" in the debut album font and the starman) and I'm starting a vinyl collection of their music. I saw them live as well.

Wow I still don't have a vote. I'm suprised. Considering I worship the altar of Dream Theater in my basement. I have all the official releases (studio and live, CD and DVD) seen them live, and I can play three albums entirely on bass no mistakes. Not to mention how much I've kissed their ass in every forum I've been on. |
Yes, but Flossy splooges himself to Daniel Gildenlow pics daily so we kind of have to vote for him.
