just seen that part of this message board, so i think i will write a few lines to introduce myself.
Im 26 years old, living in Moenchengladbach (yep, that town with that best football team ever, Borussia Moenchengladbach), working in Duesseldorf, Germany. I´m very intersted in sports like Handball (i´m playing myself), Football (as a fan), Icehockey and Inlinehockey (i´m also playing myself, kind of bad i might add, but it´s making lots of fun), also in Coomputer and Internet things, and finally in music. I´m trying to play the Guitar, but i guess it´s in the same bad kind like i´m playing Hockey… it´s making lots of noise and sometimes you might be able to guess hardly what song it could be…
I like hardly every kind of Guitar related music, favourite bands are for example New Model Army, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, The Cure, Chili Peppers, The Tea Party, Garbage, some more stuff like that, and certainly Therapy ?.
First time i´ve been listening to Therapy ? was on MTV and it was the Screamager video. A friend of mine´s brohter owned the Shortsharpshocked EP which i was fascinated of and finally Troublegum blew my mind. For me it was, and still is one of the best Rockalbums ever. Then i went to check T?`s earlier releases which i enjoyed very much either, so it was just clear that they will be one of my favourite bands.
In my personal list of favourite Albums Infernal Love is not far away from Troublegum, i love that album too, I can´t rally believe what i have read in an interview with Andy, that he did´nt like Infernal Love that much for some reasons (cant´t remember what it was, but i felt shocked).
Semi-Detached, still a great album, still often played on my wayto work in my Car-CD-Player, but not that kind of mindblowing to me like Troublegum and Infernal Love.
I´ve been to three T? gigs, Oberhausen Turbinenhalle, Krefeld Kulturfabrik and Bonn Rheinkultur, each one really great in their own kind.
To Suicide Pact and especially to Shameless i unfortunately did´nt get a real connection, so i have to be honest, i lost my interest in T?… that´s the reason why i haven´t listened to High Anxiety ´til now. But as i heared a few different people saying, that High Anxiety might be the right answer to these people, who didnt liked Shameless and Suicide Pact that much, i got interested again, and that´s why i´m here.
On General i like to say sorry for all Grammar- and Vocabulary mistakes i will produce in my posting i might add on that message board. I try to do my very best, but sometimes i don´t know better… thanks
Enough for now,
greetings from MG,
