I just wish it was under better circumstances. I was really holding out for a Nevermore ruinion, and from what it sounded like, Warrel had reached out to patch things up with the rest of the guys recently. Some of us has been around since 2001 and 2002. Hard to even think about how life was back then. Regardless of what happens in the future, it's good to know we have this gateway to the past to remind ourselves of the kind of friend Warrel was to each of us.
Hell yeah dude. Karmic and I spent several hours today just digging through old threads, remembering stuff we didn't know we'd forgotten. We're probably not the only ones.
We were all assholes to each other, but nobody cared. That was the fun part. No getting away with that shit on the internet these days.
Hey folx, it's Pyrus/Lies & Perfidy/Reuben (locked out of my old account cause I can't remember what email address it used, naturally). Obviously there's been a ton of stuff posted on Facebook in the last few days and it's kinda startling to realize how many people I met on this fucking message board I still consider friends (even distant Internet ones). Thought I'd swing by and see who else was turning up. I hope you're all doing well. Obviously I wasn't that close to Warrel but he was so patient and gregarious whenever we interacted, and his music & the community around it played such a big role in my teenage years, that it feels less like losing an artist I admired and more like losing a friend. Cliche, I guess, but there it is. Hope you're all doing well. Nobody's in the office this Friday so I'll be hanging around.
HEY REMEMBER ME? Man, it occurred to me the other day how important Warrel and Nevermore were/are to so many people. The reason we all know each other, definitely.
Wonder if any of the folks from the 2008 west coast meetup are still around here. Brooks/Kevin/Karen/Isabel ?
I've never left. Unfortunate it took something like this to finally resurrect the forum. Much love to you all <3
RIP in Warrel... your music and voice meant a lot to me and got me through many hard times growing up. I hope you are in a peaceful place now. I hope everyone one here is doing well too, this forum used to be lively. Nice to see some familiar names.
