And then James puts up his three favourite bands (one of them being Iron Madein) on his Facebook page... as he was doing the interview?

Ok, maybe ONE of the accounts is fake.

How annoying is it that "Nicky" is prompting everyone to go and buy the single and report how many copies they got and chart positions?
I really hope he's nowhere near that account, or it would be rather pathetic...

They're trying to be realistic and some people are pouring their heart out to them about how much they mean to them.

I don't think that's right really.

That Kruger creature is friends with Nick and comments on his page, I feel sick.

Still think the accounts are a bit of fun though.

Yeah, I agree. I get kinda sad when I see this.

Tried searching for 'Nicky Wire' and found this

http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=&i...716?ref=search

Hmmm, sounds familiar to an old thread on this board...

The Kruger thing makes me feel a bit grim about it all, too. But yeah, I guess it's just meant to be a laugh. It is a slightly weird thing for people to want to do, though: Fake being a member of their favourite band.

Exactly the reason I started this thread & 'had a go' at them!

Fun I suppose, but demoralising to whom they impersonate without a doubt.

Apparently "Nicky" is going to Jools today.... I've tried to catch him out by finding out if the band has taped the appearance yet?

I caught 'Richey' a while ago, by asking 'him' who Lori Fidler was.

The problem is that there are people so deep into the obsession that they truly believe that it is the band, and are genuinely so happy to be "friends with them". I think it's also a bit weird from the perspective of the people creating the accounts and running them. I mean, who goes to that level, seriously?

my view of it from a personal perspective is that its "meh". I have no interest in being "friends" with someone pretending to be a member of a band I like. I have no interest in even adding genuine members of bands.
