Hey you lot!

I've been reading/lurking on this board for years, actually got a membership in 2010 and have only made about 7 posts since then!

I was a little shy to try and break into an obviously tight knit community, but since getting to know some of you via *whisper it* Facebook, I thought it would be fun to get to know more of you via this forum.

Anyway, I'm Simone, just turned 40, live in Leeds, England, and Voivod have been my favourite band since my pal Rick first handed me a tape of Nothingface when I was 16. That tape changed my life. I have to admit to being a little confused for a while as there were two more song titles than there were songs on the tape - I finally figured out that "Cosmic Sausage" and "Interstitial Blackboard" were the interlopers! Oh, how Rick and I laughed!

Anyway, that's quite enough for now, but say hi and tell me a little about yourself, if you can be bothered. Feel free to ask me questions too!

It was about time!!
Welcome to this mental asylum Simone. Now you won't feel alone or awkward anymore

... And by the way: you already have access to all the embarrasing details of my life through kakabook, so no need to introduce myself.

...I wish I knew the one who knows..

Simone!

Currently, I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico a place now known round the World due to Breaking Bad.

I work for a museum/cultural center. My boss is a cunt (there's a surprise!), but I do like my work.

Originally from Isleta Pueblo, about 15-20 minutes south of my beloved 'Burque. I'm a typical New Mexican Mutt. Pueblo, Navajo and most likely Spanish, Mexican and maybe even Hopi, but that is not a positive.

I live a rather boring ass life here as an owner of one dog (Keva) and one cat (Barry). I dislike having a roommate, but currently live with a rather oldish, mostly drunk one, who thankfully I RARELY see.

My brother and sister are on this board as well. My sister is hypergrrl and my brother is slugbutt. They both rule and have sickeningly good memories whereas mine is shite!

Currently, I am at work listening to an interview with Away. I hope to meet you in person someday. Glad to have met you via Paul. Okay. Back to work for me.

Hope to see you on here more often.

Kind regards,

Luna

Simone, hello and welcome.

I'm hex, and I'm a hex of this board. As all other supernatural things such as spells and jinxes, I don't really exist, I'm just a product of your superstitions.

Rant on.

By the way, I'm still in Indianapolis, IN, I signed up here 10+ years ago, mostly because this is my favorite Voivod site.

Anyway, Target Earth has taken me back to what I originally loved about Voivod. This new record is inspiring, so I felt it was time to start posting more...haha!

Haha hey Igor! Thanks so much, fella! I love your kakabook profile

AMY! I would totally love to meet up with you one day - we should have a VVF Ladies Aux meeting sometime. You, me, Alysa, your sis, Ivor... Who else is there? I didn't know your bro posts here too - what an awesome family!

Hex - I like that you exist only in our collective imaginations. Very Voivodian. You are obviously a magical creature if you could get Fantastic Planet's original handle back...

Fantastic Planet - so did you have another handle on here between first having this one and having it again now? I'm definitely encouraging you to start posting here more, cos I intend to do that too. I also feel that way about Target Earth. It's blown my mind.

neutronboy2000 - a sincere welcome is sincerely appreciated! I am very happy to have joined the "Morgoth Virtual Science Hospital-Hypercube" Sector YB1!!!

Can I just say how lovely it is to be made welcome like this?! Voivod fans are the BEST. Well, duh!

Hi this is LUNA's (aka AMY) boss, the cunt... oh wait, no I'm not.

I'm just SCHROEDER, the stupid fucker that buys way too many cds and records. One of the original dropouts from the "other site"
hence my really cool low number, which is the one thing in life I am the most proud of

I live in the amazing first state of DELAWARE in the USA where there's so many fun things happening every minute of the day, that I choose to stay inside my house and purchase everything online so I don't burst with excitement from taking part in all that Delaware has to offer.

I am also very good at making up stupid stories that are irrelevant and meaningless, just to hear myself laugh so I feel like someone else is around. It breaks up the monotony of my miserable life. So do all the freaks that pollute this fine forum.

Welcome.

Voivodgals? Mat the villain, dotrot_thrash (she haven't posted in a almost a year, where's she?). Both from Queen EII's little home island as well, if my memory serves me right. There were some more regulars but they abandoned ship much earlier.

Welcome in our little Hypercube Simone. Nice to see you here too, after our meet up on Fartbook

Btw: I'm from the land of the worst liquid (Heineken), Dynamo Open Air and Roadburn ;-)

Cheers!

Schroeder - that made me laugh. I wanna hear some of your stories! I've seen you on Farcebook - may friend you up on there too, if that's OK. You really know how to sell Delaware to a girl ;-)

Hex - Mat the villain is the Ivor I mentioned (Ivor Wobblie is her FB name) and she lives in London. Dotrot_thrash is Alysa who I mentioned - she lives in Wisconsin and is awesome and already a good pal of mine. I need to encourage her to post more again instead of spending all her time gazing at Away's eyebrows!

Luna - I don't know Megz and Nia. Is Megz Mrs. Stromquist?

I am guessing that DBC is Meester Schoolmeesters? That's a pretty good land to be from, I'd say! Thanks for the welcome :-D

I'd be interested to know what all of your favourite Voivod album is (if you have a favourite!). I think it tells a little about the character, haha! Mine is Nothingface (it's actually my all time favourite album from any band), but Target Earth is fast catching up right now!

Hey, Smione!!

I am Paul Scheers from the Netherlands. I live one hour drive from DBC.

I have wife, 2 boys (15 yrs old and 12 yrs old). I love Voivod, any kind of thrash metal, lotta old skool stuff, Meshuggah etc. I play guitar of the worst kind but have fun at it. Play in a band named Horsemen.

I am a mechanical engineer (my boss is also a cunt... it is myself haha).

And I am eating a sandwich with letters, cheese, ham, tomato, pickles, egg.

Now we need to know what you look like. All Voivodian girls on here look fine!!

Hi Paul! Good to hear more about you! I have seen you on Farcebook too, so you may get a friend request on there soon - then you can see what I look like, but I warn you that it's not very exciting, haha!

I play bass of a fairly bad kind, but am not in a band at the moment. Nerdy Voivod fan faxt - my first bass was named Blacky, haha!

The bit about your boss was funny!!! So you have a mechanical mind, huh?

Your sandwich has a lot of fillings - I am impressed! I am bout to go eat some boring tinned soup for my lunch. Boooooo.

Yes, Voivod fans are the best !

BTW, I live in Indianapolis, IN, I play guitar in an all instrumental progressive type metal/rock group with stylings from Voivod, rush, Rein Sanction, Don Caballero, etc..I was in a stoner rock type band called Devil To Pay for 3-4 years and recorded one record with them. I spend a long time with my dog, and my friends. I'm kind of boring these days really...hahaha!

Like many here, I'm still a huge Voivod fan!

Cheers to all!

Hahaha

And I've just realised that Nia is the lady that did the awesome interview with Blacky from around 2002 (I think) that's somewhere on here - from when he looked all suave with his short hair and suit. Is that right?

Yes, that's her alright.
Nia aka noitall (as opposed to D.N.A., go figure), used to keep this forum alive and fun place to be between 2002 and 200X... what, 6,7,8? Damn, time flies.

Ha, no need to worry bout that round here. From what I've gathered since I'm here every Monday-Friday (hahaha, no computer at home for the weekends!) many of us have migrated to fuckbook. I have to say though that I admire the hell outta those who absolutely refuse to have a page there, so we get to keep in touch with those folks here.
