Merauder
Forum
"Hard core nigga"
First of all, by virtue of your assinine statement "if it wasnt for the front man jorge the rest of that band would be lost." tells us you know nothing about music and don't know anyone in the band on a personal level. I have played with Rick in bands for over 18 years and I used to roadie for merauder. I've witnessed first hand the pain and suffering my fellow musicians have gone through because of the industry and ignorant people such as yourself. If you only knew the amount of self sacrifice Rick has made on behalf of his bandmates you would sing a different tune. And to say that someone is from or not from a scene tells us that you have no idea what a scene is. Being a criminal and living on the bowery is not a scene. Get a job and get a clue.
Sincerely, the Oldman

Orale Rick.. What's up homie I know you ain't gonna remember me but let me refresh your memory.. You remember the tour with Fear Factory? Corona Cali? Remember now? You and my homeboys got together after the show and did some serious smoking vato!! That was very memorable and i'm sorry to hear what your going through. FUCK whatever anybody else says!! Your a good guy and i really appreciated what you did for us on that night. It's been a long time but i still remember you. And by the way, your guitar playa saab or whatever the fuck his name is lucky he didn't get a cap in his ass!! That's one arrogant mother fucker!! I never wanna see him in my neck of the woods! PUNK ASS!!No disrespect to you Rick but it's better for you to do your own thang and not rely on anybody else's problems.. No wonder you haven't been around here in a while. I feel you homie! But do me a favor, when you get another band going, get back here to Cali! one......... Guillermo (A REAL MOTHERFUCKIN G!!)

Yello Rick, MERAUDER still RULEZ after all these years man !! Absolutely NO DOUBT 'bout that, even in 2003 ! Get your men back together, original Master Killer line-up hombré, and get your asses back to Europe. I enjoyed all of your shows, Belgium, Holland, France, Germany, Crossover 2000 Tour, the Festivals, and never to forget the Hardcore Stage on DYNAMO in Holland where you played for thousands ! Gimme a buzz bro, you got my details, be in touch ! Good Luck Nigga ! Francis B - Belgium And say hello to Vinnie & Jorge from me.

Hey Rick just got your statement !!!!I've been an enjoyer of Merauder even since Minus was in there ....The change you've made was the right one there,music-wise ,you know!It's cool when you can look back at your life or career with pride on what you've accomplished.These days i've parted away from the hardcore and metal scene .....but for some reason....and i am not bullshittin' ya....one of the only bands i still listen AND very much enjoy is Merauder.From my point of view i think Bluetality grabs really back to the Master killer cd.A band is like a marriage or relation except there are more people involved and like any relation you have good years but you also have some bad years , and i think when you can overcome things like this you always come out stronger as a band OR as a person.For a talented guy like you don't let your dreams fade away.Maybe you can pick up the pieces and go on or even start a new band , because from what i can read in your letter ....there is plenty of ambition an good music in your head !!!! My prayers an support go your way,bro....Strength and good luck ! Keep the faith. By Cliff A.

Hey Rick
I'm Jadran from Antwerp , Belgium ( Belgiums biggest Merauder fan ) and I just read your mail on the discussion forum. After 12 years it indeed has got to be fuckin hard to stop with your band , its like a relationship that breaks and that brings some serious feelings with it, I suggest to join another band that makes you forget your pain ... wait for the right moment and replace a bassplayer in another band . re-uniting Merauder would be also great asspecialy for me and the M-fans from allover the world , Or maybe just a farewell tour that would be major , ( I promis I'll try not to cry when you guys playin Masterkiller) I'm sure you'll find your way ,find the right people that have the same attitude as you got and take a new start . I'm realy interested in the pictures you 've got , if you have some spare time please mail me some. Past 3 years it has been a real bad time for the hardcore and metal scene here in Belgium , Hip-Hop ,R'nB ..etc are taking it all over . The last 6months there's back some hope , some new bands are popping out and there are some more gigs. still got to search hard to find a real heavy pit . How's the hardcore and metal scene doing in NY ? In Belgium people still talk about Merauder and that legendary Masterkiller cd. The only band ever that could canalize Martial Arts into killermusic .
I'm sure you'll find your way , keep it evil .
Much love , Jadran

Hey people , it's Rick. What's going on?? As for me i am trying to get everyone back together again one more time, for the last time!! and i need to know if people are still going to remember us for our music and not for the bullshit we've been going through. It's really been rough for us. I mean barely anyone talks to each other but here i am trying to contact them again (for the hundreth time) and see where everyone's head is at. I just miss the good times and i want us all to relive that again. i need everyones input on what i should do with these guys. I do accept critisism and i won't be offended. All i want to do is play on stage again. That's all... and i'd like to say what's up to everyone who's been writing in this discussion board. If you guys wanna email me, feel free to do so. Or even just to say hey, it's kewl... rick@twistedarts.com

I'm going to make this short. Merauder is in the process of auditioning singers and drummers. Yep you read right, singers and drummers. Can you fill these big shoes?? It's still the same style of music but heaviver . We are currently writing a new album and looking to make a big comeback. Stronger and better than ever. We are an established act with a worldwide fanbase as well as having a secured spot in the music scene.

Ok everything is kool now. We have the original members back once again.. Let's see what happens now

Hey i just wanna say i have the ut most respect for the bands members. I have followed them from day one. And not to sound fucked up but i have NEVER heard of any of them having children, so i have no fucking clue what that chick is talking about. So shes needs to stop putting people down because she never got what she wanted out of life. And Rick shes is probably saying this shit to get you pissed off. So just dont pay any attention. One other thing before i close this chick if u have a child and ur child has not seen his or her dad thats no-ones fault but ur own.
PS GOOD LUCK MERAUDER!!!!!!!!!!!!
