[clovnul]

Clovnul (The Clown) - my nickname in the neighborhood.

[TayfunRaider]

now thats the reason behind the name tayfun, now i got it, talking about tomb raider how was the game i sent ya and did ya finish it yet.

I used to play the first game in a game store (whatever you call it) when I was a kid.
But later when I wanted to buy it, I couldn't find it in Turkey.

I finished it then, but just can't get enough of it. I want to play it time to time.
Thanks a lot once again for bringing back good old memories.

[Paganec]

Well, "Paganec" is because I love Pagan Metal Nothing special here..

My avatar is the picture of Jason "JMann" Popson (ex-Mushroomhead). I used to love this band (maybe someone here knows Mushroomhead, I dont know, they are from Cleveland, OH and they are not too much popular) for many many years. And Jason is one of the greatest frontmans of all time, I love his every project.

There are 2 things on my sig. 1) Awesome statistics of my favorite football player Andrey Arshavin, he scored 4 goals at Anfield 2) The great piece of lyrics taken from Mushroomhead song called 'Solitare Unraveling'.

[Metfan72]

As for my sig, well not to get too personal but after many years of abusing my body with recreational drugs and alcohol, I quit everything. Frantic was a song that really helped me along as the main chorus was just how my life was and I was heading down that path. As much as everyone dislikes St.Anger, listening to that album over and over was a good release as I was facing some of the same demons James was. So it will always hold a high place for me.

Happy to say I am a social drinker now and drug free for 5 years. Normally not the proudest thing I like to admit but I kicked the habit so not ashamed anymore about the choices I made.

Much respect to you, mate!

indeed kudos paul. im sure it was tough for ya.
and kudos again for st anger, i like this album and dont see a real reason why others dont.

Thanks guys.

Wasn't easy but one of the better things I did.

Well that and leaving my wife of 10 years. Both had to get out of my life, might as well have dealt with it all at once and be done with it.

[Pete-Rock]

I'm glad you guys like my idea, thanks!!!

My nick was NWOBHM for many years, short for "New Wave Of British Heavy Metal" which was the metal movement in the 70/80s which brought us great bands like Iron Maiden or Diamond Head for example who were the main influence on Metallica, my favorite band, in the early days. But whenever using my nick I started to mess with the letters mixed them up by mistake or whatever. Someday I remembered my first days at university in 1996 where one of my pals started calling me Pete Rock, he joined my name (Peter) and my love for Heavy Metal he knew of. He still calls me Pete Rock up to this day so in order to make things easier for me I decided to change my nick to Pete Rock.

As for my sig and avatar, well it speaks for itself, social and spiritual I guess who reads it, it is like my life-motto. We're not in this alone means several things to me: First of all, respectfulness of others, I'm not the only one in the world, noone is. Second: I believe that there is more than the eye can see. Some ppl call it god, other ppl believe other things, totally up to you. And third: It reminds me and should remind everyone who reads it that there are ppl out there who care for you, esp helpful whenever you feel lonely.

Cheers my friends

[even13flow]

Even13flow - Like everyone else, a name I first created for my email address. Most people think the Evenflow part refers to Pearl Jam...it would be cooler if that was the case. In this case, I watched WCW Wrestling back in the day and my favorite wrestler was Raven, his finishing move was called the Evenflow DDT. The 13 in the nickname stood for Dan Marino cause he was my favorite NFL player when I was a kid.

The avatar and signature are nothing special, just referring to my website and the fact that James is my favorite Metallica member.

[King_Nothing]

@ Paul, good on you man, glad you were able to get out of the lifestyle you were in
@ Pagenec, I love Mushroomhead & Jmann is a great singer, shame he left the group, but Pitch Black Forecast is pretty good

As for me:
King_Nothing - one of my fav. Metallica songs from the load/reload era, and I have had a lot of things in my life "crash down".
Avatar - is a Ghost of Starman from the SNES RPG Game "Earthbound, one of my all time favs!
Sig - is a composition of my 3 fav bands (Rush, Iron Maiden & Metallica) and its for trading purposes

[norbinho]

Cool concept Pete.

Let's see. Been a Metfan for 25 years and almost everyone who knows me calls me Metfan. 72 is for my birth year.

As for my sig, well not to get too personal but after many years of abusing my body with recreational drugs and alcohol, I quit everything. Frantic was a song that really helped me along as the main chorus was just how my life was and I was heading down that path. As much as everyone dislikes St.Anger, listening to that album over and over was a good release as I was facing some of the same demons James was. So it will always hold a high place for me.

wow, paul, very honest statement...glad to hear you won against your demoans as james would say it!! "what don't kill you makes you more strong!!"

st. anger is a great album and i still have to say that too when i listen to it nowadays...i also had to fought some "demons" in my life in the years after the millenium and music is definately something that can make you feel better...especially songs like "frantic" or "the unnamed feeling".
