Soaring Simpson Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I know what you mean and if he had said it was for resting his voice I wouldn't be bothered but he says it's because of superstition and has something to do with ocd. I think that makes it an other story I don't think he mentions superstition (though he does in the LICM dvd). He says that his brain convinced itself that if he spoke he'd have a terrible gig. And I recognise that blond lass (when they're adjusting Saranayade's headdress). Who is she? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshire cat Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 yeah that's what i think also At least he knows he can be a bit difficult and he is not ashamed of it it's good to be picky in life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soaring Simpson Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 It's good to be picky in life, but it's not good to claim mental illness if you're merely picky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilek Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 And no, I don't think that he is PROPERLY OCD. As in, clinically diagnosed. I get the impression that it's a home diagnosis LOL lol! so it's like my cat getting klostrofobic when she terribly wants to go out:roftl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sariflor Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I know what you mean and if he had said it was for resting his voice I wouldn't be bothered but he says it's because of superstition and has something to do with ocd. I think that makes it an other story I don't think he mentions superstition (though he does in the LICM dvd). He says that his brain convinced itself that if he spoke he'd have a terrible gig. Agreed, he didn't mention superstition, just that he thought it wouldn't go well. But he has mentioned many times before that he doesn't speak before a gig, especially when he's a bit sick, in order to rest his voice. And I recognise that blond lass (when they're adjusting Saranayade's headdress). Who is she? I thought she looked familiar as well. Maybe Lorna?

avoca Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I thought she looked familiar as well. Maybe Lorna? no, it's not lorna. I think I saw her backstage in beirut and she had dark hair... am not sure though... last time I saw her she'd dyed hair, sorta light brown, very dark blond, darker than jasmine and lighter than mika's. there's a girl whose hair is pretty blond (not the one standing next to him as he faces the stage), who may look like paloma, but she's gone seriously blond if that's her..

Soaring Simpson Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I learned not to take everything he says seriously... I know I don't want to believe he's- what?- overdramatising himself?- when it comes to this becuase if that's so I'd go right off him. Some things are serious.

Some things are serious. (Sorry, I've got strong feelings about this) I understand your POV... I just don't take everything he says seriously... I am more into his music and I admire his personality in general (what he decides to show the public at least) ... I Love his sense of humor, wittines and the way he treats his fans... I don't have a problem with him exaggerating ... some fans are disappointed that he didn't answer their question, or he did not blog.. or many many different reasons... I just take him as is... and enjoy it.. I don't go too deep in analyzing him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avoca Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 yeah, superstition is very common is show biz. and he's very self ironic about this.. see my previous post about him saying he's an ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshire cat Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Ok , I watched it again and he doesn't say superstition but he says that he believes everything could go wrong if he speaks. that's superstition, right? it could be a simple fear of ruining his voice before a huge gig... it's a normal worry I guess... then again, I haven't seen the footage...

Soaring Simpson Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Well he didn't say he was permanantly giving up ringmaster-ness, he was talking about his costume for one tour (which to be honest, I thought was meant to be ringmasterish until I saw the dvd) MW goes on to check "but you don't want a red nose..." I would dearly love to have seen his face if Mika had said "yes" And incidentally- I LIKE the Matthew Williams jacket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
