Faces to Names: The Infamous Post A Picture Thread

I'm freaky, and like to know who I'm talking to.

So post a picture of yourself, and give us a little bit of background information, so we can all bond. I guess I'll go first.

My name's Steve. I'm going to be a Senior in High School soon. Uhhh, not much to tell about me... Oh, strangely enough, I'm ridiculously religious, despite the fact that I listen to all sorts of Metal, industrial, and all that craziness.

Furthermore, I listen to just about everything (excluding country... just can't do it!). Jazz is a particular favorite of mine. I loooove electronic music, and I adore hard-hitting guitars (or metal-esque) songs.

And here's a few pictures of me.





Sorry they're so big but yeah... I'd like to get to know everybody here!

Steve,
I'm guessing finals for you are right around the corner.
Junior year is typically the worst semester if your life in High School...
So if that was the case for you Senior year will be a breeze in comparison.

I'm Alan, I'm 21 and I'm a Senior in college--who is not graduating on time (what happens when you transfer). I'm an Elementary Education major, and a Camp Counselor. I enjoy all types of music (except angry metal music where I can't understand what they say). I listen to everything from Celldweller, to Kill Hannah, and Linkin Park to the less known bands such as The Anix, The Summer Obsession (now Allegiance To The Fire), The Birthday Massacre and the list goes on... I'm big into promoting bands, and meeting new people on forums. I am also into Photoshop and web design.
So enough about me-- You can find out more on my MySpace...

so im next....
at first - nice to meet you steve and alan!!
Im Kacka (Katerina) but my friends call me Aurinko. Im 15 years old and I live in the middle of Europe, in Czech republic, Prague so its really far away from any show of The Dreaming.
You can see my english isnt good but about month ago I passed tests for language grammar school so I hope it will get better soon.
I love music and cant live without it. I listen any genera of rock, my most favourite band is The Dreaming and I like finnish bands a lot (negative,the rasmus, reflexion, etc.). I love going at shows and supporting bands, I have my own The Dreaming page (www.thedreaming.blog.cz).
hmm.. thats all

Do you like The 69 Eyes or Children of Bodom?

Or by any chance have you heard of Zeromancer or Seigmen?

oh god!! Iforgot my darlings The 69 eyes... poor guys I listen to them a lot... and I listen to Children of Bodom sometimes too.
But I dont know the other two bands....

The 69 Eyes are amazing! I love them... If you like electronic/industrial music, I'd definitely advise checking out Zeromancer and Seigmen. It's sort of like a The Dreaming-Stabbing Westward relationship between the bands in that one.

I will check it out, thanks for types

Negative, The Rasmus, and Reflexion are all great bands... along with HIM (whose shirt you are sporting)...
The only problem I have with that genre is that there are SO many bands and they, while are talented, all kinda sound the same after a while :/
I got lots of goth rock bands like these...

Beseech, Down Below, Entwine, For My Pain, Malice in Wonderland, Zeraphine, To/Die/For, Soulrelic, Seduced By Suicide, My Sixth Shadow, Malice In Wonderland, Dark, Cinema Bizarre (who many people may hate...)

Some may be heavier than others (others lighter), but those are the bands I found under that genre...

I listen to Entwine, For my pain and To/Die/for... I dont know other bands you named ...cinema bizzare are from germany, arent they??

OK, well I guess I'll throw my two cents in here too...I'm Jessica, from NY. I'm 27 and go to the University at Buffalo, where I'm currently a double major in Art History and Archaeology. My specialty is European Pre-history, particularly in the area of the Greek Mediterranean, and areas of Greek occupation.
I'm getting married in October. Hmmm...what else? My interests are pretty varied but I love reading, traveling, and outdoors kind of stuff. My taste in music is pretty eclectic, and doesn't garner appreciation from everyone...obviously I love the Dreaming, and Stabbing Westward has been my favorite band for 13 years (I had a serious teenage crush on Chris, lol). But I was brought up with Classic rock so I love that too...Zeppelin, Styx, Journey, Supertramp (one of my faves!), Jethro Tull....the list is endless. I'm also really into pop music, and I love to dance, so techno/electronica stuff really rock my world. I'm into folk music as well...About the only stuff I don't really listen to is Country, specifically Gangsta rap and crunchy metal music where its unrecognizable as a song, meaning no melody, harmony or intelligible words that I can discern, lol.
Ok, so I guess thats pretty much me in a nutshell....here's some pics

me with Chris at the Buffalo show on Apr 9

me with my fiance Dave (this pic is like 3 years old)


OH and Zeromancer rocks my world- highly recommend for those of you who don't know them....

Hi ya'll this is me:



I favorites are mainly female fronted bands i.e., Bikini Kill, Le Tigre, PJ Harvey, The Dresden Dolls, Hole, Jack off Jill etc. etc. etc. big into riot grrrl music------ I really like open minded and lyric driven bands--- I like everything college rock, punk, industrial, folk, indie and so on.......throughout highschool (which was years ago) and still now I have always LOVED Stabbing Westward, The Cure, Placebo, Ben Folds, Counting Crows.......weird mix I know......I can list bands for days.....I am 26 now and I have been around and dissecting music since I was very young so I can go on and on......I also have a daughter who will be 5 in July, She like The Ramones, Green Day, Fall out boy and Ani DiFranco---- she listens to The Dreaming sometimes, but I gotta watch some of the language around her. Nice to meet everyone!

Here is my huge ass photo




Yes, I like horror rock. I'm 31. I'm from New Orleans. I have a boring ass day job. So you may see me around the internet a lot promoting my favorite bands. Check out my MySpace, if you like. Lots of albums, lots of photos, some video...... myspace.com/metalslut

(If anyone is wondering why Metal Slut.... My Ex played in a local metal band and they gave me the name. Guess they figured all metal chicks are sluts. Who knows??? The name stuck. People began to call me this since they would hear me called this from the stage night after night. "Metal Slut, we need more beer." Very few people actually know my Real name. Most people tell me they don't want to know my real name or what I do during the day. They say that would ruin the image they have of me in their minds.)

hey metalslut im from nola too

I just realized that and left you a comment on another thread. I'm sure we attended the same shows.

I feel so young and naive now!

But hello everyone! My name's Steve. Glad to be acquainted with you.

Oh and btw, if anybody's interested in finding me on MySpace, I'm ~ Goddess of Sarcasm and Unholy Wit~

If I used myspace very much at all, I'd certainly add you...

But I don't, haha.

Since it IS the Picture thread, I figured I'd post some more... Despite the fact that I'm posting so many, I'm typically shy about it.... but ah well.

Some older pictures!


Free shirt I got at a basketball game (not even my school! haha). I got a youth small for the humor value, and I'm sitting in the middle of Walgreens, waiting for my girlfriend to get off work.


Making my typical "idiot face". This was taken on my birthday this year.

Hi everyone! I did a blurb about myself in the other thread, so I won't bore you with repeating it.

Right now the music I'm really into is dance/electronic music: Breathe Carolina, The Medic Droid, Shades of Scar, Lunarclick, Julien-K, Junkie XL. It'll probably change in about a week!!

Here's a pic of me in NYC, after The Dreaming show - our "fearless leader" here took it!!

Small world! Look at my shirt! I can't believe you like them too! That's awesome! I'm gonna see them June 23rd!

EEEEK!! I'm so jealous you get to see them!! I got turned onto them by the friend that introduced me to The Dreaming. I finally got to see them here this month for the Club Tattoo show - and OMG - they ROCK!! They put on such an amazing show, I was BLOWN away! And Amir & Brandon do a great job at DJ'ing too!

I don't like their look, honestly... They wear WAY too much black for the type of music they play.

If I didn't know who they were, and just looked at them, I'd think "Wow, what a rip off of MCR". Who I'm not fond of, haha.

Jared Leto was not harmed in the making of this coat...

I'm Dee Anne and I live in Kansas (insert pity here) and work at the post office (insert fear here!). My everyday life is pretty normal so I live for live shows! I'm going to Crue Fest in Dallas in July and am pretty psyched. I've loved Crue since the beginning...yes, I'm really that old...and I am obsessed with Sixx: A.M.!

Other bands that I'm into include Fuel (OMG I love them to the point that I have a Fuel tattoo!), Def Leppard, Duran Duran (I'm old school like that), My Chemical Romance, Linkin Park, Mindless Self Indulgence, Adema, Madina Lake, 12 Stones and 30STM. My biggest obsession is a local band called ALIEN8. Seriously one of the best bands I've ever seen...and they are from right here. If you want to hear them, check out my myspace.

I'm also really into politics so this is a fun year for me. My heart belongs to John Edwards but I can live with Obama. I have been a registered Republican since I was 18 but I recently switched to Democrat. It was Sam Brownback saying that he doesn't believe in Evolution that pushed me over the edge! And to think I voted for that FREAK!!! I'm still pretty conservative but am too much of a tree hugger to stay with the Party.

Not too specific on music, with the exception of pop, country, rap/hiphop, anything that appears on top 40. More of a rocker chick here with a bit of classical interest (used to play violin through high school, gave that up, needed change).
Recently graduated college with a degree that I hope to use some day.
Love too many different things, from yoga to football. Huge on decorating for halloween and christmas outside. Now that's a business I should open.

OK- you guys now know more than what's on my other profiles

Well hello everybody! My name's Steve. Hahah, now I can visualize who I'm talking too. It makes things feel less robotic for me.

Steve, your'e the only one my age. I'm actually younger haha I feel like the baby of the message board.
