It's all good and fun to speculate on someone's personality based on Press or one or two encounters. But seriously, do we really think we can completely identify Matt, Raine, Jeremy, Duncan, Mike, Steve, or even Chris' personas based on what we assume is true readings (press, statements)

I find it funny that we can sit here all day and say "matt's a real asshole" or "he's smart and intelligent" based on past happenings, or that OLP sucks since Mike left. My thoughts is that since mike left, olp has made music. Whether you choose to listen to either MG or OLP stuff is your choice, but please guys...no more crying. There's no crying in baseball, nor should there be in music debates.

Why am i writing this? Because i'm going out of my mind writing a speech for a wedding this weekend, and i needed to vent something to someone during my procrastination. I know i don't post much, but i love you guys just the same.

I think the dude above me does have a point. We cant find out what a person is really like from what others say. Because all journalism has a bias, whether towards or against the topic.

However, from reading MG's blog, he is very very intelligent. That is the only unbiased piece of information known about him.

if you've read many of his lyrics you'd know he doesn't think highly of himself

oh and no one thinks he;s intelligent from what we see in the media, the media tells us he's an angry asshole. We think he's intelligent from his lyrics, music and most of all his writings

you forgot to add also from people who have met him and spoke to him.

Let's just say this. Matt is more intune with the world then most musicans or singers. He is aware of issues and such. He tries to inform the fans. By doing this it gives you the opportunity to make up your minds. After all Knowledge is Power.

I feel love, I feel a power. It comes to me in the darkest hour. And I want to feel it again

I agree, MG is really aware of what's going on around the world, just look at his posts. I think he's a really intelligent musician. He can be cynical at times but I dont really think he's that arrogant.

From all that you speculate. Which is what it is. Speculation. From his lyrics, from his blog, from the media. And as far as how arrogant Raine is, we dont actually <b>know</b> that either.

You dont listen to a band because of its members personalities. you listen to the band because of how well they play/sing, and their lyrics.

nuh-uh! :mad: cant you just TELL that raine is genuine....and not arrogant?

if we go on like this, we can argue that not one person knows what another person is truly like.

Here's an idea - let's all stop obsessing about these people we don't even know, and just enjoy the music.

Gee, a stupid thread on this messageboard, this has to be a first.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

The question was answered back on the first page, Matt Good and OLP have no fued against each other and it was all media hype.

Why is this thread still going on. If all you people want to circle jerk over Avalanche, Matt's personality, and other shit you people have no idea about, go to the Matt Good Appreciation thread and do it there.
