I don't care how good he is. I wouldn't hire him. Never trust anyone who speaks about themselves in the third person. 

Newfoundfreedom doesn't like that one little bit.

Reading the link, Rikki must be very very good.  Too good for me to be in a band with (on so many levels).  One can only wish him and the band well.

[Rich]

If Rich was the band he had just signed with, Rich would can his arrse immediately.

[Graham56]

Could be worse. He could be referring to himself as "The Rikkster"....

He’s happy he got the gig, let’s give him some slack and congratulations.

[Stub Mandrel]

Nice to know that the Shaggs will be touring again in 2020...

[Guest]

He seems a right plum.

True, but normal people manage to be happy without behaving like utter knobs.

Hold on, this is a forum for bassists. Why am I talking about 'normal people'?

[ambient]

Good luck to him and his new classic rock band.

[fleabag]

Jeeeeeeeeeeeez

fleabag reckons he's a right donkey organ.

fleabag has now been onboarded

fleabag has now left the building.

As it happens, I know this guy.

Richard's been around for ages in loads of rock bands and though he's a bit corny with his 'image projection' he's actually a really good bloke and totally reliable, unlike most people in bands. When I knew him he was having trouble with a bad glaucoma but he didn't let it get him down or stop him volunteering for a local charity.

If he's finally struck it lucky and got himself a gig with a signed band then good luck to him, even if he's got a bit of a showbiz way with words. At least he can quit the zero hours van driving contract if that's what he' still doing .

You fell for it, you suckers.

I knew you reminded me of someone. Of course. You're the wandering spirit of Stephen Potter, aren't you? Good to have you back.

[Cato]

At some point as he tours the globe he's probably going to find out that there's a drummer in the US already using the name 'Rikki Styxx' and she's already won the 'who comes up first (and only) in a Google search' competition.

That will maybe be Rikki's last crossing. Dante knows ?

I think Rikki Styxx *may* be a stage name 😼

[phil.c60]

"onboarded". I'll just leave it at that.

... at which point he could change it to the possibly more apt Rikki Stynx.....

That would be a hanging offence.

[mikel]

Bet he is really fun and good company to tour with. What a pr*ck. My first rule of band membership....no egos.

If I were as accomplished a parodist as the late Mr Potter I'd have written the original JoinMyBand Ricky Styxx post as bait designed to provoke people into paroxysms of hatred and sanctimonious drivel. But I didn't.

Or did I?

It appears that young Richard is lacking self awareness to a flipping MASSIVE DEGREE.
