God, I hate them.

And I don't feel bad for hating them.

And, I don't mean Henry Rollins.

Intense Dudes
From: London, South East England
Starring Ferry of Poverty Jetsets and more recently Semifinalists and Sam of Test Icicles, Intense Dudes lived a short but truly brilliant existence around the start of 2004. With three gigs at London's White Heat and one demo under their belt, Intense Dudes disbanded, as they had always meant to, just weeks into their musical anti-career.

Intense dudes, are hard to explain, but I know 'em when I see them. They sit around po-faced during godawful singer songwriter support acts. They don't like it when you take the piss out of these terrible support acts.

― jel --, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 17:12 (eighteen years ago)

Hetfield, Rollins et al. Are the acceptable face of intense!

― jel --, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 17:12 (eighteen years ago)

get off the fence!

i like the idea of being so intense in one of those round undergraduate chairs

Wow, I want an action figure of hetfield playing the banjo, maybe also one of Lars accompanying him on a jug.

― chap, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 17:17 (eighteen years ago)

To get off the fence would mean dabbling with intensity.

― jel --, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 17:18 (eighteen years ago)

If I was an intense dude, I would have brooded over this post for hours, and you know maybe slammed some doors in a fit of pique.

Liotta was born in Newark, New Jersey and was adopted six months after birth by Alfred Liotta, the president of a local Democratic club, and Mary, an appointed township clerk. Both of his parents unsuccessfully ran for local office. Despite his surname, he is not of Italian descent;[2]

I know many varieties of North American Intense Dude, including the Hippieish Collegiate Intense Dude, the Proto-Alcoholic Intense Dude, the Lower-Middle Class Upward Mobility Intense Dude, the Mainstream-Politics Intense Dude, the Mainstream-Religion Intense Dude, the Non-Mainstream-Religion Intense Dude, and the Cresty Blue-Spattled Warbler Intense Dude, and all of these I can wrap my head around, but most of my efforts to imagine ENGLISH Intense Dudes just make me recoil in horror.

I forgot the Shellshocked / "Kid from American Beauty" Intense Dude and the "Alcoholic Who Tried to Punch Me for Saying 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' Even After He Specifically Told Me to Say 'Cent Anos de Soledad' and Made Me Repeat It After Him" Intense Dude.

― nabisco, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 17:55 (eighteen years ago)

I'm not finding a picture but Terence fuckin' Stamp is THE intense English dude.

xpost I can imagine British Intense Dudes as like hard men and hooligans, but Jel would seem to be talking about a non-tough Intense Dude. And "beardy guy who goes on about socialism" is as close as I can get in my head. Which, if I imagine him being British, strikes me as more "boring" than "intense."

― nabisco, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 17:56 (eighteen years ago)

Jel's data points would seem to rule out hooligans:

- beards
- lacking in humor
- "sit around po-faced during godawful singer songwriter support acts"

Those three descriptions capture a Venn-diagram set that (in my experience) is equal parts dorks and Intense Dudes (with an obvious crossover of Intense Dorks).

In rock bands, the intensest dudes are almost always either the drummer or lead guitarist, and only .0000000001% of the time, the bassist.

― nickalicious, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 18:27 (eighteen years ago)

I am very curious how those photos happened.

a) Tombot's Birthday

d) etc.

I heard this in a bar last night (kenan and chi. kevin can back me up) and I heard it nearly every time I went into a bar by my old apartment.

― dan m, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 18:30 (eighteen years ago)

I heard "LWTUA" in a bar YESTERDAY. But you're right, there's no good excuse for that.

oh xpost YES I HAVE WITNESSES

― kenan, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 18:31 (eighteen years ago)

usually we hear "transmission" and usually we yell QUEERS QUEERS QUEERS QUEERS PLAYING JOY DIVISION over the chorus and also it is basically always one of us specifically most likely ghost rider putting it on for the purpose of yelling over the chorus.

way worse than joy division in a bar: Bob Marley in a bar. That's the moment where you go, "Oh, sorry, I must be in the wrong bar."

― kenan, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 18:44 (eighteen years ago)

yeah but some bars you EXPECT you will hear Marley, rite?

― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 18:45 (eighteen years ago)

Not the correct and proper bars. It's like putting on the Big Chill soundtrack or something. WTF PEOPLE ARE WE GOING TO LINE DANCE NEXT, YOU MORONS?

jimmy buffett is worse than marley. i think i would walk out of the bar if i heard him.

― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 18:47 (eighteen years ago)

I think the only music anyone should ever be allowed to play in bars is THE HOKEY POKEY.

― nickalicious, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 18:47 (eighteen years ago)

i think you should shut up and show us yr CHICKEN DANCE

so is joy division, that's not the point. I can't listen to Bob Marley with the kind of people who listen to Bob Marley, it's just not right.

I think having someone describe me as "intense" was one of the low points of my life. I didn't help matters by getting intensely argumentative about it, like "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, I AM TOTALLY LAID BACK, TAKE IT BACK DAMN YOU."

Today in the Salutation (a pub, rather than a bar): Joy Division, New Order, the Cure, Echo and the Bunneymen, Roxy Music, Kirsty MacColl and Pet Shop Boys. The Salutation is full of Intense Dudes, but of a slightly scary, heavily tattooed, grown-up Crusty / estate dwelling drug dealer variety. Good pub.

Endless xposts. Slow down people, this is too fucking intense.

srsly alcohol is a depressant, it's dangerous to mix.

I live in portland, home of intense dudes author/guru chuck palahniuk. I can only guess at the make-up of the local book readings.

xpost to mookie - See, Merlin is intense in that movie, but also a little kooky and given to physical humor. Like when he's trying to catch a fish.

― kenan, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 19:11 (eighteen years ago)

btw: love that movie.

Covered in spiders.

If you're covered in spiders, might I recommend the Sad 80's Pub?

wtf is that about

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Wednesday, 9 May 2007 19:44 (eighteen years ago)

Ha, kingfish, just one hour ago this woman was on my floor fixing some computer thing, and I was really taken with her voice, and thinking "hey, I like this new person here," and then she said "well, I'm leaving early today, my favorite author of all time is reading at Barnes & Noble, and I don't want to miss it" -- someone asks "who?" and she says (grr) Palahniuk. So the audience at his readings, in addition to pseudo-intense guys verging-on-but-holding-animosity-toward the frat set who want to have sex with prostitutes to prove how much they understand the world, apparently also includes throaty-voiced friendly-looking girls who fix computers.

it's ok if a girl likes Palahniuk

― kenan, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 19:45 (eighteen years ago)

jess no

(actually hahahahahaha but, you know, appearances)

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 19:45 (eighteen years ago)

Having met plenty of girls who like Palahniuk, Kenan, I'm afraid to say his female fan base is not hugely different from or preferable to his male one.

(P.S. yes I shouldn't pick on the psychology of his fans just because I don't like his writing, but c'mon now, it's kinda asking for it.)

lesbian versions of manalishi? xpost

― strgn, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 19:52 (eighteen years ago)

I don't really know anything about his writing, apart from Fight Club, and having read a couple descriptions of books that sounded kind of like he only had one book in him and now he was stretching everything wayyyy too thin. But I do not know what *kind* of person reads that.

Lullaby was awesome!

Wait, Dan, I thought you meant the Cure song and I was wondering if you were being Intense Dude. ;D

― Trayce, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 21:56 (eighteen years ago)

That song is also awesome!

ok these are not Intense Dudes, these are just awesome people.

Mr. Nugent especially.

mookie's picture is just too much to parse.

is that...spiderman...back there?

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 10 May 2007 14:10 (eighteen years ago)

let's say that it is. One has to make some assumptions. Then we can move on to the Stormtrooper/American Gladiator, and what exactly he is doing with that shovel.

― kenan, Thursday, 10 May 2007 14:23 (eighteen years ago)

My thread really took off!

However, I think I have become less clear as to what I mean by intense dudes. I think I will just use it as a catch-all for people I don't particularly like.

Mr. Yuk is mad intense.

― kenan, Friday, 11 May 2007 16:56 (eighteen years ago)

Intense dudes, a field guide:

* short hair, slightly balding
* look older than they are
* annoyingly, they often have cute girlfriends
* only wear t-shirts, jeans and converse trainers
* work with computers or in the media
* hate fun
* prone to profanity

― jel --, Friday, 11 May 2007 16:56 (eighteen years ago)

Are all of those necessary, or any combination? Because I'm thinking a whole bunch of us are at least kinda like that.

― kenan, Friday, 11 May 2007 16:58 (eighteen years ago)

Have to have 'em all.

― jel --, Friday, 11 May 2007 16:59 (eighteen years ago)

still, dude, take "hate fun" out of that list, and you have a guy I can hang with.

― kenan, Friday, 11 May 2007 17:14 (eighteen years ago)

In rock bands, the intensest dudes are almost always either the drummer or lead guitarist, and only .0000000001% of the time, the bassist.
