So, does this lil guy factor into your username?

No unfortunately, it's solely an homage to gonzo journalist Hunter S Thompson - Dr Gonzo is the alter ego of his sidekick/attorney Oscar Zeta Acosta in Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas.

    I will say, if anyone knows the meaning of my user name and where the band got the word from (without googling!) I’d be very very impressed.

    I assumed it was a biblical place or mythological name, like Golgotha

    I didn’t Google but I’m with a fairly nerdy friend rn and he says it’s from Lord of the Rings (?) 

    Boom! But what is it from Lord of the rings for 10 points!

    Nope as WCW said it’s a LoTR reference

    I meant where the band got the name. And Gaahl is still a weird unit, saw him a few months ago, but the band had the name well before Gaahl joined.

    The story behind the avatar is that it was meant to be a send up of Clayton Oliver. I had Photoshopped an avatar of Darcy Parish as an oompah loompa (as he used to have the Oompa loompa hairstyle) in anticipation of us drafting him way back when, but had to come up with an alternative when we picked Clarry.

    My nerdy friend has gone and hasn’t answered my text. So ima guess that it’s a weird-a** creature  just like every character in LoTR. (???) 

    Edit: I know it now. It’s a part of Kardinia Park aka Mordor.

    Had a 17yo friend of my son’s over last night and she’s obsessed with Slipknot, roping me into watching clips of them. Gorgoroth make them look like The Wiggles.

    Oh yeah Slipknot is the kiddy pool.

    There has been multiple singers, hope you chose one of the better songs/singer 😬

    Rather than throw a dart I put some thought into the selection. I chose the song with the closest to pleasant title (or the least disturbing)… “Prosperity and Beauty.” But there was nothing either prosperous or beautiful about it. 😳

    And now I think everyone should watch it coz why should I be alone in not sleeping a wink tonight?!

    Ahhhh, Gaahl was the singer for that, he is my least fav singer, needed to listen to something from

    Quantos Possunt ad Satanitatem Trahunt

    That’s my fav album, try Prayer or Rebirth 😃

     

    And big props for listening to them.

    What I normally say to people when first hearing extreme metal and especially some facets of it like Gorgoroth is try and hear the vocals as an instrument more than vocals. But then I’d usually use different black metal bands than Gorgoroth to ween people on it, like something from Atmospheric Black Metal sun genre… 😄

    I listened to both of those tracks. Gotta say I didn’t totally hate them. They’re quite the lyricists, huh. Not that I could understand a single syllable of what he’s singing but I had the lyrics up on Spotty.

    Put it this way, I’d sooner listen to this band than Ed Sheeran or Bruno Mars etc.

    Ha ha that should be sub-genre.

    And only entry level to those who listen to some metal or punk and looking for something more… next level 😅

    Tbh their prob is as there are so many. 
    I mean Uada worship the old moon gods/cycles, lots of pagan bands etc

    suldusk from melb are a fav, she sings 95% clean vocals,

    Drudkh are a Ukrainian band that put music to old Ukrainian poems and folksongs 

    There is a sub genre DBM or DSBM - Depressive (suicidal) black metal which is slow and heavy but eerily beautiful.

    None is one of the best bands in that genre. 
     

    Hope I’ve opened your eyes to a different world and I’m stoked to hear you didn’t hate it 😄

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
