Metal Sludge Gossip Board

seriously?

One of three things:

1. A special needs grownup with rich parents,
2. A non-English speaker with an old version of Google Translate, or
3. The greatest troll of all time.

All I can say is that one time he posted some "evening out" story that seemed completely ridiculous, and someone posted that he's making up a bunch of ridiculous unbelievable shit, and I found LAG's instagram and there were pictures of literally everything he talked about.

Other than that, couldn't tell you.

Also he's fucking hilarious.

His posts give me a headache.

LAGlamRocker is a passionate fan who always supports the scene. He's a diehard who drives many miles to see as many of his favorite 80's rock bands that are still out there playing shows. His passions are wrestling, rock n roll, women's beach volleyball, and making posts on Sludge! Long live LAGlamRocker!

I suspect anyone one who has to constantly post about how great his life is, probably doesn't really feel that way. Particularly when it's all about 80s hairbands and wrestling.
And the writing style seems to point to being on the spectrum or a non-native English speaker, or both.

Or related to Marq Torien.

I don't know if you've seen what LAG looks like, but I wouldn't be surprised. Or Stephen Pearcy.

He isn't Jesse Camp from mtv circa '98?

He's a good guy...

I see him at shows... and he's always cool!

Pretty much. You can just Google him and see his Instagram page. No stupid baby or pet pictures.

He's having a good time, instead of sitting at home waiting to die, like some do who miss the glory days a little too much.

I've met him several times in Vegas, and the online persona matches the real person. Definitely one of the most fun dudes to hang out with.

He's a real one. I don't know how much money is in his bank account, but we've done some fun shit and he's always out having a good time.

The rest, I'll keep a secret.

The funny thing is that time I mentioned when LAG posted a trip report and someone called him out on making up stuff, one of the parts was "Saw Jesse Camp in front of the Whisky!" or something like that, and sure enough, there was a picture of him with Jesse Camp, hahaha.

I still can't get past Fasterpussy Cat

He bought me a Wed13 shirt!

I’m definitely not making fun. To each their own, and a carefree, stress free, wife free, and kid free life can be its own reward. It is for him. I wouldn’t choose it, but I’d sure like to not work.

I’m interested in the mystery that is. Pics and stories are fine, but what’s the BTS story?

A few years ago, I was in CA, and I saw that ‘the band that shall not be named’ was playing at the Canyon Club. When in LA…..go to the show.

A couple hundred people there max…..but there was a guy that fascinated me. Wearing Boss glasses and taking selfies and selfie videos with the band in the background. No shame at all.

I wanted to find out who the guy was to see these epic videos. But the show ended and I left….but I saw him enthusiastically talking to the singer of Funhouse as I was leaving. Clearly a huge fan of the era.

Long story short, I see the singer of the no name band updated his FB profile pic and it is him With the guy!! I read the comments and realize it is LAG from this board.

Found the IG page and I love the photos and updates. Guy is loving life and makes no apologies for it.

Legend.

Jimmy Snuka hit him in the head with coconut ringside in 1987
English and language skills stopped then
Walks beaches hoping to meet Karch Kiraly sometime

I love that wacky bastard. I follow him on Insta and do kinda wish I lived his life. Always wondered how he funds everything but then again maybe I don't wanna know.

Dude is funny as shit and is like the living embodiment of this forum. In his terms, I guess he's '87 Randy Savage or something.

Even after having met him multiple times, I don't know (or care). When the first question to somebody is "what do you do for a living?", it's like LinkedIn or a work event. Zzzzzzz...

Work just isn't a fun topic. Never chatted about it with the dude, and why would we? Now if you ask somebody their favorite C or D-level hairband, that's better!

It's just a good time hanging out. It's fine learning how Poison grew up and where they came from on BTM, but I just want to enjoy the songs without the history.

He has means to have fun, whether he's loaded or going out on top once it's all gone... and for that, he will remain an enigma.

Seems to be living the dream. Fair play.

Name dropping Karch Kiraly on a hair metal message board? I can respect that.

Walks to the beat of a different drum. As long as he's having fun, let him go.

I don't think anyone's trying to stop him. But man, it's hard not to be curious sometimes.

I met him in LA about 6 years ago.

We hung out at the Rainbow for a bit.

The dude is for real. Absolute passion for the music we love on here and a massive wrestling fan to boot, just like me.

There's no shtick here. He's a good dude!

I think he is cool as hell!

Love all of his IG posts and I am jealous he gets to go to all of the cool shows! He lives in a good place to see all of these shows.

He also has an awesome tshirt collection! Shirts I have paid hundreds for he scored back in the day! He always seems to go to some cool events and meets everyone! He definitely has a lot of money also.

Loved the pic of Jeanie Buss last week she is so hot.

I would like to meet Nate & LAGlamrocker if I had to pick Sludgers to meet in real life

I see him at events often. At a Rainbow parking lot party, I asked him what he does/how he affords all this. I'm not sure he actually answered and that's just fine. We started talking about Fresno, instead. See ya at the next show, LAglamrocker!

I love his stream of consciousness thinking. It’s very David Lee Roth.

We both said our prayers and took our vitamins with the Hulkster.

I relate to him and appreciate his posts.

He feels no pain though. No regret, no remorse. That is the difference between him and us. While we grow old thinking of things we could’ve done better, he sits and reminisces about how great life was.

We should learn from this man. He is our teacher.

His posts are consistently a source of top-tier entertainment, and his musical taste is flawless.

He's truly one of the best Sludge board (ezboard and current) has ever seen.

I bet you’re fun at parties.

He'll be in Vegas a few times this year, especially once they announce the Downtown Rocks - Free Concert Series at Fremont Street.

Since you're still the #1 salesman in your district, tell your GM that Mazda Mattley is going to Vegas to celebrate this summer/fall!

If there's something of interest this year, maybe we could plan an informal get-together. Not quite Sludgin' In Vegas like the classic Sludge era, but it could be fun.

It could be anywhere, but like LAglamrocker said, no reason to ever leave the Southern California / San Diego / Vegas circle, so Ohio, North Dakota, and other boring states are out of luck.
