GU board legends and melters
- Edited
Please, if you can afford to shoot a mixtape cover in your parent’s drained pool, you hand handle being called a twerp
What Zach is leaving out of the conversation is that they were damn goof mixes.
Freudian slip there.
I used to have many mixes from GU members, it would have been fun to re-upload them somewhere.
Sounds like the old GU board was an absolute nut house.
The thing with the GU board, imo, was that it had such a lot of traffic and a broad Global user base with different North American factions, loads of British and Irish, South Americans, Eastern European etc. And in those days 99% of the users were actually regular “scenesters” (cringes).
Throw Dusted and Fadas into that mix and, well, carnage mate.
Crym Shady. A 30 year old man called Ady Crimble who had an alias that made him sound like a teenage Eminem fan. Used to always throw the middle finger up on photographs. Haircut like Noel Gallagher. Ranted about ‘his’ useless staff (think he was a team manager in retail or something).
Chewey. Pain in the arse, always underlining his working class London socialist creds. Stupid hair. Wanted to be a sports writer - always posting his shit writing for people to compliment (though that was more on 4four).
I met Chewey when he was up in Scotland to cover a Dave Seaman night for some third-rate publication.
As much of a prick irl as he was on the internet. Had the audacity to slag off my best Paul Smith shirt on the board afterwards as well, the utter cunt.
Another cool thing was all the free mix CDs you could get. Simply PM your address and a couple of days later a CD popped through your letterbox! Madness. 99% coasters but a couple of gooduns from the likes of Duncan Bankhead as well.
Anyone remember the legend that was Colin Sales?!
And House Harkkonen running around the lake He’s my mate, he is. sound lad.
I remember Chewey being sound… Must be my memory.
Chewey and Cyrm were both grumpy mofos.
Think it was Chewey who wrote about Leslie, the writing wasn’t too bad. Was Chris his first name?
