I don't know about it being a joke, more of a badly planned publicity campaign that could seriously backfire.

People are going to think the band are either a self-important bunch of twats who take themselves too seriously, a bunch of big cry-babies or just plain desperate.

None of those options would make me want to spend time or money going to their gigs or buying their products.

(Unless Neil has actually set up the whole thing with a fake band to get publicity for aberdeen-music.com, which would be quite clever)

Anyway, to have a chance of winning this case the band would have to prove that people breached the rules of the forum and it went unmoderated, although I can't remember any rules saying "You shall not give negative opinions on bands". They'd also have to prove they had lots of gigs before the comments were posted but very little after.

The more I think about it, it can't be real, it must be fake. Could a band really be that stupid?

It is real. Neil didn't make it up for publicity. If he did set it up himself then he did a really really good act of looking utterly baffled when he got the initial voicemail from the producer.

And of course a band can be that stupid.

Yeah, you're right, I don't know what I was thinking.

AM will be truimphant! hhaah!

We've just been to Glasgow, I'm not going back again!

WTF?

We've been busy recruiting a new guitarist, so I've just been given the heads up about this thread today and I must say, WTF? So, to be clear it isn't Identity, but I'd be interested in reading who it is but assuming its Identity is really off the mark.

Take care,

whether taken serious by them or not, its imho stupid to get some of those with big opinions on here riled.

Take care,
