King Tyrion I Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 My favorite kind of music is rock, roughly circa 1950-1990, pretty much all genres. Favorite artists include The Beatles, Kiss, Jim Steinman, Thin Lizzy, Alice Cooper, Rush and way too many to list. I've played in a variety of different bands in a wide array of genres (hard rock, power pop, new wave, hardcore punk). My main project is a glam rock band called Lipstick. (We put out our first music video a few weeks ago, which you can check out here https://youtu.be/3A363UtiDWU ) My favorite house is probably House Stark, because the morality of the characters are most aligned with my own, but at this point that house has pretty much crumbled to pieces so I don't really have much hope for them making any serious moves. Arya may be destined to do some cool things, but she won't revive the house, and I don't think Bran and Rickon are going to be old enough by the time the series ends to revive the house, so I'm expecting them to die at some point. I'm not sure what my favorite quote is. Tyrion pretty much has all the best lines, so probably something from him. Also, in response to, King Tyrion I, what kind of music do you do? I'm singing - I have a decent baritone as people have told me repeatedly. And I also play the trumpet and the flute. I'm currently looking for a choir - I'm into all kinds of music.

BearFrog Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I'm singing - I have a decent baritone as people have told me repeatedly. And I also play the trumpet and the flute. I'm currently looking for a choir - I'm into all kinds of music. I actually spent multiple years in various choirs like Cleveland's Contemporary Youth Orchestra and also did some jazz ensemble stuff. I don't know how to play any brass or woodwind instruments, but I can play guitar, bass and piano. And as far as which member I am in the band...eh sure, let's leave it a mystery for now. ^_- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I like getting to know new people and making friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFrog Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Well, I actually just remembered I posted my name earlier in the thread, so if anybody bothered to google the band they'd find out I'm the lead singer, so I'll save everyone a step and just do that for them. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, my bad. The quote went havoc. ;o) And you're half-right. ;o) I'm re-reading ACoK. He answered questions about his childhood and youth. Finally, he read Arianne I from TWoW.

Kennelmaster Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Welcome, Steve, to the boards! :cheers: What a lovely girl. Really. Thanks. She may look like a Stark Direwolf, but sometimes she can be like Cersei. She is the queen at my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennelmaster Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Welcome Steve!!Cool to know you were brought to the boards by the love of these awesome creatures!!Lol you'll learn about a long list of other awesome creatures on the way!Oh and that's awesome you write! There is a thread called 'boarders writing novels' (or something close to that) in the literature part of miscellaneous.Check it out if you ever feel inclined and maybe even better your skill. :)I'm going to talk a wild guess and say you like house Stark.But you may also be a Clegane fan, no? I'll will have to check out the writing thread. Yep. I identify with House Stark and even more with the Night's Watch. I used to live in Vail, Colorado and I was a single guy there. For those who don't know there are about ten single guys to every one single woman in the Colorado Mountains. Kind of like the wall, only with chairlifts and snowboards. I am a big fan of the Hound. You gotta love that doggie helmet. I also have a soft spot for Tyrion. He really wants those direwolves to like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennelmaster Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Hello, my name is Sharon. I am a loooong time lurker here, and have always enjoyed reading everyone else's thoughts about this fantastic series. So much fun stuff to read here! I thought it may be time to join the conversation, so here I am.I currently reside in Northern California, however it looks like Texas is in my future. I spend much of my fun-time reading ( fantasy, historical fiction, classics to name a few genres), gaming on my X-Box (Mass Effect, Assassins Creed) and knitting (a much needed stress reliever). I am an animal lover with a dog and two pigs that I really try hard not to spoil...at least over spoil. :PI'm looking forward to mingling with everyone here!I grew up in Northern California and I live in Texas now. It's not a bad place to relocate to, but most of my friends here who are Texas natives think that I talk funny. :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beg Pardon Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 A shy hello! I started out watching the HBO show, then I decided to stop watching the show until I finished the books, then I decided to stop watching the show altogether... Anyway. I am still working my way through ADWD, and after that I plan to do a reread. I come to these forums when I need answers or clarification, because unfortunately I have not found anyone else IRL who I can have these types of discussions with. That is why I decided to stop lurking and start joining. I think I am generally aware of the rules/norms from lurking, but if there is anything else I should be aware of please inform me. :) (I was happy to find an introduction thread... I always find it so awkward to just flail in blindly.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
