Well all I have to say is that you must have time to burn considering that you have made 52 posts on this board in the past 10 days. Presumably then there are other message boards for other bands where you post more actively since you like other bands more. If so, on what boards can we find your comments?
If you do not spend more time on other boards can you explain why King Arthur & Co. receive an outsized amount of your not so precious time?
I will explain, I am a school teacher, at the moment it is the summr holidays so I'm not working. To add to that I am in the process of getting a new kitchen fitted and have to sit here all day because I'm not leaving my house with two strangers in it....all this means, out of sheer boredom I visit websites of the bands I like..this is one of about half a dozen I look at regularly, and there are others I look at occasionally. Hope that explains...though don't really think I should have to. |

Don't take it personally Andy. Caryne purports to be one of Arthur's biggest fans but communicates a subtle hostility and Napolen complex in her writing by always having to one up people and coming across as a know-it-all.
Read what Caryne wrote on 8/14 in the NME thread.
"F*cking hell! Hope some of our worst fears..and I think many here know what I mean...aren't coming true? I must admit I could see this coming..little more to say really."
Now Caryne, great prophet of all, how exactly did YOU "see this coming." Please do share. Your B.S. is plain to see. Sorry to be harsh but your domineering presence is projecting far and wide a most contempible spirit.

People with this disorder tend to believe they are superior to everyone else. When the insanity is triggered, the victim will believe his Intelligence and Wisdom are two points higher and Strength and Dexterity are one point higher. Moreover, the megalomaniac will believe that his or her Comeliness and Charisma are three points higher than what is actually the case. So annoying is the megalomaniac that the perceived Charisma is actually three points less than actual (for each intensity of the insanity.) The trigger for this insanity is any situation in which leadership is required and that the megalomaniac has at least some chance of being qualified to lead.
It should definitely be noted that the victim of megalomania’s self-perceived attribute increases are illusionary. All checks relating to Wisdom, Intelligence, Strength, and Dexterity remain unmodified.
i ve just found this, remind you of anyone ??? |

Would like to urge everyone to be kind to each other.
This is a place for discussions concerning Love and I don’t want this forum to be used to any personal vendetta.
If this doesn’t stop immediately I will have to remove messages and ban those who don’t stop.
Please remember Arthur Lee’s words: “Love one another”

Well said Torben / admin.
To Andy / rubberglove - I think I can say categorically that everyone from the message board who has met Caryne in person thinks she is a real nice person.
To Caryne - my advice would be don't rise to it!! |

Okay, the acrimony is getting a bit heated. Let's move on.
"The Love One Another Line" IS great and set a lump in my throat when I heard Arthur utter that at the Town Hall show on June 5, 2003, but as it was reported in the music magazine The Big TakeOver, after that show Arthur was seen in the lobby of Town Hall visibly battering his own merchandise salesman who was selling the orange programs (I bought two). Although Arthur is a hero to many, myself included, just realize that his actions and his noble words aren't always the same. That said, he has the best voice I have ever heard, is one of the best song writers I have ever heard, is a damn godd player of the guitar, harmonica, tambourince and morroccas and Forever Changes is one the five best rock albums ever made. Let's keep it real folks.

You can tell that Caryne's a school teacher from the way she(unintentionally) speaks to people like they are her pupils.
It's a tendency that's common with a lot of teachers, I find.
Now, she'll probably spot an error in my punctuation or my spelling and give me 4/10 for this post, with 'see me' written in red biro  |

Count me as an optimist. When I originally saw it I was horrified. I told my wife and explained how letdown the fans were but explained that Arthur was distraught about Rick James' death. My wife said that we should cut him a break saying that it is a very human reaction to be heartbroken and lose control when a friend dies. And I think she is right. Because Arthur in his apparently drugged up state (if it was booze there was more to it than that since he didn't really stumble too much...he was more severely sedated) mentioned Rick James between almost each song and apologized profusely suggesting that he at least was aware that he was falling apart onstage. My prediction is that there is a 80% chance that Arthur will put on blazing shows in the upcoming gigs. I think that word will get back to him in no uncertain terms that the gig was a mess and that the band must prove itself in a big way. Combined with "competition" from the Zombies on the upcoming shows, look for Arthur to exorcise his demons and amaze like never before.
It indeed is unwise to count him out or to ever bet against him. He certainly will disappoint on occassion and can be a maddening person for that reason but he encapsulates so much of the human condition and all that it includes like sky reaching beauty and the depths of demons seemingly having their way. I can only hope with all my heart that Arthur gets his **** together and that the band have the patience and tolerance to keep giving the band a future shot at success.
Thoughts?
I'm with you mate.My first observation was that the Spanish audience were more sympathetic than some of the ****ers on here.Secondly that the vocal back up that the rest of the band gave, knowing that Arthur was away with it, for whatever reason,was extremely touching tae me.His buddy snuffed it, he sixty years auld and has had a tour schedule over the last couple o years that would kill a horse. Have a word wi yerselves.
Long Live The King
LOVE and PEACE
