I have been away from the forums for a while, so I apologize in advance for my confusion. But what does one do for people to think they *deserve* a song request to the band? What's the story behind Ghost?

Did Dimi know someone that sadly passed and this was their favorite song? Did he get married and this is his bride's favorite song? Did he cure cancer?

Doesn't hurt to ask. People do it all the time.

Doesn't this completely contradict your position on this in the other active thread today - the one about stopping song requests?

I think there should be a separate forum for them, that's all. Do they clutter up the boards? Yes. Does thread after thread for them on the porch annoy me? Yes.
More than that though, I think people singling out one specific request is an asshole thing to do. People DO do it all the time. But now one person has made one song request for the first time ever as far as as know, and suddenly this thread? That's bullshit.

whatever, that doesn't entirely reconcile with this: -

"Totally agree. Those threads are really fucking annoying, and I think that if any member of the band saw any of those stupid threads, their first response would be "fuck off". "

like I say whatever, I agree though, no need for this to be made personal. Dimitris has been after this track for a number of years and it would make his tour to hear it, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I can only imagine how elated he would be

I still think what I said. That doesn't change the fact that it doesn't hurt to ask. No need to be singling one person's request out.

This thread is fairly obviously just trolling.

Yeah, no. This thread was bumped to make a statement that the 'bumper' didn't just out and say plainly to begin with.
