Seriously, why is this still a thread? We get like 2-3 of these threads per year, and it usually just fizzles out. You either have a nickname already, or you think of one yourself. Why would a bunch of strangers on the internet know how to pick a nickname that suits you better than you yourself do? Pick a name, stick with it, if people like you, they'll remember it, if they don't, then they won't.

For the love of everything that is sacred; The Mechanix'). He was kicked out of the band due to being addicted to heroin, and could not play shit live before their first album was released, and Metallica moved on, and he never did. Fixed that for ya. I laughed, it's so true.

You know, I never said I wanted the call sign Megalodon, I was just correcting the spelling. I'm still going with Ogre's idea of rolling without a call sign for now. And Bones, what did you fix? Honestly, I'm not being sarcastic or anything, I really am not sure what you fixed If nothing sticks out that I'm particularly fond of or if I get stuck with something that annoys me, then I'll go with 'inception'-ing my own nickname(kind of like force-meme-ing, which I hate). I have a few ideas in my head.

I dunno, these are all pretty good ideas, but I'm still calling you french, ESPECIALLY since you said you have that french-can accent.

Did you read Mustaine's biography? Because I did, and he never injected heroin(at least not that early in his career, from what I remember). He did weed at the time, and was a heavy drinker, but not a heroin user. He got kicked after the tension built up between all the band members because of an argument that happened when Dave's dog jumped on Ron McGovney's car, after which James kicked the dog, which later resulted in a fight. By 12 years old, Dave had a black belt in Karate(the specific type escapes me right now) and Taekwondo, so needless to say, he whooped ass. You can question my airsoft knowledge, you can question my military knowledge, but to question my knowledge of Dave Mustaine and Megadeth, unless you are 100% sure of what you are saying, you might as well be insulting my mother. Also, wouldn't you be mad if you got kicked out from a band that later became famous partially thanks to your work, which you specifically asked not to use? I know I'd be. Sure it was childish non-sense, but that shit happened when they were young and angry, so of course they're going to carry that with them. For Metallica, it was easy to forget about him since they were so busy raking in the cash, and overshadowing his puny band, and in perspective, winning. Sorry if that seemed rude, but I'm pretty passionate and defensive of my favorite band, so please forgive me on that.

I'm not making fun of Dave, he's a great guy, and I actually prefer Megadeth over Metallica. Dave writes more relevant stuff. A lot of their stuff is faster tempo'd too.

Okay, screw it, it's settled. I fully assume my new identity as 'Vic'. Mods, please close this thread before the thread crappers come to ruin it.
Oh, and as a point to the thread for anyone in the future reading this who is unsure of their call sign; Roll without one until someone chooses one for you, OR until you find one that you feel extremely comfortable with.
THANK YOU ALL, VIC SIGNING OUT(I'm going to watch Vikings haha).
