As you yanks are always going on about how hard the buff is on cleans in the US most train operating companies have the same policy here.

AllTheKingsMen 0 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 the point of painting a train is to have it seen...not to take a picture of it and do whatever...i understand the whole clean train shit but what i can't cope with is the fact that people talk all this shit about painting freights, which do get seen by the masses, and then when i get here there's barely any trains to be seen........for a country with the amount of commuter trains that their is i would just expect more..especially with all the stuff i hear and read...but i guess that's all hype on the other hand the train lines themselves are fucking getting smashed over here..

By now I would think that I am smart enough to ignore motherfuckers like you, but I can't help it. You are complaining because you have been in London for 6 months and you haven't seen enough trains? Please. And now you are on here, questioning their existence? "That's all hype". Every other individual [including those who talk shit on freights, etc.] on here is describing what they have seen, on what line, and, in many cases, posting the flicks. I've read your two posts on this thread, and the other post where you described DDS as the "only" British crew that had earned your respect. Your conclusions are not only ridiculous, but quite confusing. However, I have some suggestions: 1.) You don't know too much about graffiti. 2.) You definitely do not know too much about London, especially if you "live" there. [i wish I could spend AT LEAST six months in London, no matter what the situation was]. 3.) You haven't been doing your homework. [if you had been, you would not be commenting on how LITTLE train graffiti you have seen. 4.) You CERTAINLY have not gotten up on any of that steel for yourself, networker or tube. 5.) It's DUBIOUS that you have ever painted a clean train in your entire career. You remind me of some dumb fellow American I met in a bar the other week. He was talking shit on my [football/soccer] team, and insisted he knew what he was talking about because he had "lived in London". Inquiring in to what his team was, he said "Arsenal". When I asked him what neighborhood Arsenal was located in, he did not hesitate to say "East London." Perhaps you don't get the connection, but after what you have said, that makes sense. Nobody who knew what they were talking about ever said that the steel was easy in the UK, nor did anyone ever say that trains are fucking bombed the fuck up every day of the year. One does not paint trains to "have it seen". You do it because THAT is what motivates you to write graffiti, and often the best hope is to get an instant flick of it. But like I said, maybe you would not understand that. And if you are on 12 Oz. talking about the lack of London graffiti, you obviously have not been paying attention to the pictures that heads put on here daily, representing what's happening now, as well as what was happening 15 years ago. And that is just plain sad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trainspotter 0 Posted March 5, 2004 Author Share Posted March 5, 2004 well fucking said mate. writers should also write for themselves even if their panel or whatever doesn't run it's the thoughts and feelings after when you look about and think what you had achieved that night.
