 Topic: The Man behind Mandrakeroot
Posted: June 06 2006 at 10:24 |
Is it just me, or does he seem like a real character (in a good way)? His polls are creative, to say the least, and the conclusions (if not the entireties) of his reviews are always a pleasure to read. I've been visiting the site for a year or so now, and I don't think any member has made as big a contribution in such a short period of time as he has. I must say, if I ever venture to Italy, I'd like to meet him and have a discussion about music. Praises to the Mandrakeroot.

I voted no, but only because I wouldn't like to meet any of my idols.

Although I sometimes get angry with him because of the nonsense polls and because his album reviews are often difficult to read because of his language problems (it seems that he doesn't care about that, otherwise he could check some words with a dictionary at least), I have to admit that he seems to have a huge knowledge of prog music and classic rock music, so I think he must be an interesting guy to talk with after all.

I have never really been comfortable with threads or polls that deal with specific members.

I'll give you the reviews... I enjoy them.... but the
polls....creative.....hahahhah. That deep purple keyboardist poll
was shear genius... Jon Lord vs... who was that anyway....
as far as the question.... sure I'd love to meet him... any fan of Italian progressive... is a friend of mine.

I agree with all the +++s, but I have had cause to wonder whether the prolific forum topics are more to do with the desire for prolifacy rather than substance . It's just a thought. In other words, posting a topic just for the sake of it.
AND I'd particularly like to meet him if he is a woman!

We all love Mandy!  His reviews are the most entertaining, by far.

I enjoy his posts, make me laugh a lot, some are simply so weird that make my day.
If I go to Italy I would meet Raffaella (Ghost Rider) andask her ti visit Mandrakeroot, I won't feel cofortable without a translator
