Newfoundfreedom Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) 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. Edited December 1, 2019 by Newfoundfreedom 2 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3below Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 If Rich was the band he had just signed with, Rich would can his arrse immediately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham56 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Could be worse. He could be referring to himself as "The Rikkster".... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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'?

skankdelvar Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 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. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cato Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) 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.

Hellzero Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) That will maybe be Rikki's last crossing. Dante knows ? Edited December 2, 2019 by Hellzero 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JellyKnees Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 It appears that young Richard is lacking self awareness to a flipping MASSIVE DEGREE. https://www.joinmyband.co.uk/classifieds/rikki-styxx-still-available-no-egos-please-t1207503.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
