    yes, Mr. Colbert did do a good job of not letting Damian dominate. however, he was also trying to run a comedy show, and didn't actually make valid points contradicting Damian in any way. which also made it hilarious.

    what I think, is someone needs to go fence verbally with him and pwn him majorly, just so he knows he's not the smartest, most good-looking person in the world.

    oo, or they could point out how his big ego makes him unnatractive to them. now THAT would be funny.


    Well, it won't be me, seeing as how I'm pretty much reduced to an idiot when I talk to him. I wish that wouldn't happen, but I tend to mumble and stutter and the last time I talked to him he called me "sweetheart" in this tone like he thought I was a 12 year old. Which I'm most decidedly NOT.

    My friend and I tend to sort of tease him in coversation about how he's like that but he takes it in stride. There haven't really been any "OH GIRL NO YOU DI'INT!" moments.

    I posted a picture in the Post Your Pic thread that is from the last time I talked with Damian. I think you can see it by the look on my face that I'm pretty much reduced to nothing around him...I wish I could banter with him and tease him like you do...I'm such a dork sometimes.

    ... but fencing verbally with him wouldn't prove he isn't the most good-looking person in the world.


    PS The first time I saw Damian was in their introduction to the Youtube dance contest video, and I thought he was funny looking. He reminded me of a monkey. I described him to my friend who introduced OK Go to me as "The Funny Looking Tall One".

    It wasn't 'til I saw the Do What You Want video that I thought he was hawt

    yeah, I don't think he'd be too upset by it, it'd just be funny. He's flexible enough that he can probably take it in stride, and he might even know that he has a big ego and just not care cause he's a rockstar and all. haha, wow I'm dissecting this too much.

    I might be able to pull it off if I actually meet him, but its terribly doubtful. cause it really does annoy me, in interviews and stuff, when he acts pompous and whatnot. however, in real life it could be a totally different story. it probably would be.

    Maybe he'll read these threads (ha!) and see that someone thought he looked like a monkey. What I wouldn't do to have a high school yearbook pic of him...or a pic of him and Tim from summer camp at that gawky twelve year old stage...

    True, some people don't find being called an arrogant egotistical so-and-so. In fact, some people take pride in it...


    I haven't seen any video interviews of OK Go, so I actually know nothing about Damians - or any of the other guys - personality. It makes me fascinated to see some examples of his pompous behaviour that everyone talks about, though.\
  • women60bananawomen60banana
    Well, he's always said that he looked exactly like Anthony Michael Hall growing up. Which makes a lot of sense if you've seen him.

    I think it was a combination of the hair and the lighting, but IDK in that video I thought he was so unattractive. I saw him as one of those geeky side-kick guys who sits in the cafeteria all on his lonesome 'cause no one wants to have lunch with the geeky freak monkey boy.

    Ha, that made me laugh. I can see the resemblance. But honestly, the first time I even knew what he looked like was the first time I saw him live in concert...the pics are on the website gallery right now (from someone else) from that first show...he's in a pink shirt...and I was smitten from the beginning. I miss those small venue, intimate shows!!! Next they'll be playing arenas...
    But someone's got to have a yearbook photo!!

    =D I love these descriptions. someone should really tell him. biggrin.gif

    and now that I think about it, I do have the feeling he wouldn't be too upset by it. but whatever. I'd still feel better if it happened.

    Gah, if they call me tomorrow, I don't know what I'll do.

    Talk like Damian and confuse them. Then yell Y'ALLS BEEN SERVED and hang up.

    Don't stress Karleigh. If they call maybe they'll give you the real scoop. But most likely, they've already moved on.
    I'll try to have the radio on, as tomorrow's my day off, but I have to mow the lawn sad.gif
    Call me if they call you.

    LOL

    Wow, you registered to say that?


    SERIOUSLY. WTF.

    Guy. The band doesn't read this, fyi. If you had such an issue, why didn't you just yell that at them in the airport???

    QUOTE (HelloLover86 @ Aug 31 2006, 11:20 PM)
    Now that I think about it, I wouldn't doubt that Damian was such an ass that they would hate him.


    Well DUH.

    We all knew he's a jerk. Other.......people (no names shall be mentioned....*looks innocent*) have said it themsevles.

    Just because he's an ass doesn't mean he's a bad person. There's a difference. And I think most of us have gotten used to it and know how to take it with a grain of salt. (Is that the right idiomatic phrase to use??)


    Anyway. I don't think those comments warranted a 5 page dissertation.....but I guess it's good that you decided to speak your mind.....

    I just wanted to add, as I've been asleep as a whole load of this has unfolded, that Karleigh I though your email was great and your reply was, well pointless to say the least. I just wanted so say that I've clocked up a LOT of time with the guys after shows, and the only people that ever think Damian is a cock are other band members (um, not from OK Go, from bands they've toured with), and people whose opinions I actually would trust. They've said he was totally arrogant and up himself. And however that I've failed to see this, I'm sorry, he is the lead singer of a band, and he's good looking, its his job to be the pretentious idiot! Of all the bands that I've had the pleasure of hanging out with, it is always the lead singers that are, well completely egotistical. Damian has infact, during the whole time I've had the chance to see him been rude to me once. And that was because he was drunk and going to the bathroom haha. But seriously, unless he's been slaughtering puppies or something, that to me doesnt count to make him a bad person. I doubt anything will ever come from all of this, its highly unlikely that they'll call you Karleigh, they just probably think that you're some super obsessed girl. Pish. Screw them.

    and perhaps there's really no legit reason for their remarks which is why they haven't provided an explanation of their behaviour and they're just trying to save face with the "If you only knew" shit.

    i fine this whole thing to be very petty, ill go with the generic responce of


    "freedom of speech yo"

    and the less generic responce of:

    when eddie gurreruo died last year, a news/sports person on the radio maid the pre judgement of saying someitnh along the line of "chalk up another death to steriods/drugs"

    anyways, freedom of speech and judgeing people on face value is what people do, if you dont like what they say then just dont listen to them..sending them long emails that they probally wont read due to them thinking your a crazy fan girl wont amount to much

    I've got to agree with Andykins. Well ...I don't have to, but I'm going to. I'm great friends with the DJ's for the biggest radio station in New Hampshire, and I can't count the number of times they've insulted bands that I liked or even more popular bands on the air. It's not a big deal. Sure they're going to offend someone, but chances are they're going to make even more people laugh. And, as Andy was kind enough to point out, we do live in America, and there are many laws protecting our freedom of speech and our right to our own thoughts and ...also our right to a fair trial, though that doesn't play in here too much.

    I think everyone should get over it. If you're taking that much offense to what's being said about a man that you don't know very well either and have a completely different view of because he's the lead singer of your favorite band, then maybe you need to go outside and get a life.

    We all know Damian can be an ass. This really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. And, despite what you may think, those DJ's probablydo know him better then you and have seen a side of him you'll never see.



    Also, they don't need to explain themselves to anyone. Sorry.

    And, Karleigh, since I didn't feel like reading this whole thing, were they supposed to call you?
