Hei, my name is Kayla (but you may call me Valo if you'd like).

I've been into Goth rock for a couple of years. Look down on this or not, it doesn't matter to me the least bit, but the band that got me into it this genre though they may as well not be in it was HIM. I absolutely love them.

Anyways, I like a lot of different kinds of music. My favorites are Goth rock, Glam Rock, Punk and some Ska.
Some of my favorite bands are Mötley Crüe, The Clash, Sixx AM, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Bauhaus, The Adicts, Operation IVY, HIM, Green Day, The Dead Kennedys, The Crüxshadows, Turbonegro, The Sex Pistols, Street Dogs, The 69 Eyes, Switchblade Symphony, The Damned, & many more.

I'm really into art and for about five years I had wanted to be a tattoo artist. Now I'm not so sure but I'd absolutely love to do something with music...
I sing for a band but we haven't gotten much done so far. We do our own thing but we're influenced by bands like Mötley Crüe and The Clash.

That said, some of the people I look up to most are Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe, Joe Strummer of The Clash, Abbie Hoffman (the revolutionary) and Billy Mays (where would the world be without his annoying voice and oxyclean?).

Well, I don't know what else to write....and I don't want to go on and on, but, in short, I was trying to find a local Goth scene, found this site and decided to join.

-Kayla.

Alright! Time to make fun of you!

Kidding.

But seriously...HIM?!?!

Anyway, thanks for joining up and making your presence known. You are welcome here. Don't mind all the poo flinging from our resident monkeys.

sounds like someone found a cleopatra compilation...

j/k, WTDTC

when was motley crue on a cleo comp?!?!?


welcome!!

Who Flung Poo?

Welcome to DTC!

Woo Flung Poo is my favorite Chinese dish!

Welcome to the board, I hope you enjoy the gothic industrial stylings of the local darktwincities.com/forum crew!

Greetings.. nice to see a lack of Faux-Gothic Disco Dance music in your listing.

Unfortunate about the Motley Goo though. Love The Clash, being the Resident Elder around here, I did see them in 1979.

Welcome

Yes, HIM. I absolutely love them, even DarkLight which most people didn't really like seeing as it's so different from their earlier stuff...if you've never listened to Venus Doom you should give it a listen. Not sure if you'll like it or not, obviously, but it's got some really good stuff on it. My favorites from that album are probably Sleepwalking Past Hope & Venus Doom.

What don't you like about Mötley? Just not your thing? & oh, yep. I absolutely love The Clash as well. My dad saw them live before. He said that Joe came on stage with a candelabra with the candles all lit up.

Hello, wecome to dtc.

Howdy Valo,
Welcome to DTC

Good to meet you

(restraining nerotic musical hammerfist of superiority sauce!)
unashamed hair metal fandom?! wha? on THIS BOARD? NOOOOOOOOOOO!
XD oop fail. jab-jab. poke-poke.

Welcome. post misc. like a motha Fµck and don't give a hoot. even the surly baztards are pretty humorous once you get to know 'em

I don't like much hair metal besides Motley. I loveeeeee Motley, haha.
Have you heard Nikki's newer band Sixx AM? Amazing.

Haha thanks.

I've only heard Sixx A.M.'s song 'tomorrow' off the Saw IV soundtrack. I don't care for the vocalist, but I've always considered Nikki a terrific bassist!

Yeah, Sixx AM are really different sounding than Motley.
Yep, I love Nikki! Terrific musician, seems like a really cool person aside from that, too. The thing I like about that album most though is that all of the songs are really different from one another. They really make sense if you've read his book 'cause that's what the CD was made to go along with.

Oletko Suomen?

Sorry for bumping up this topic, but I haven't signed on/posted in quite a while & wasn't able to reply.

No, I'm not Finnish, but I do know how to speak quite a bit of it; I'm mostly Polish, Swedish & English.
