Dr. Phineas Waldolf Steel, World Emperor.


Experience the man

Listen to the Music

Watch The Videos

Enlist as a Toy Soldier

Help Take Over The World


And oogle the nurses


Discuss! 

yeaaahhhh man, what more could you possibly ask for?!?

 

[MissZahrah]

Everything looks so expensive. How can he afford all this stuff?

You mean the toys?

[MissZahrah]

Everything. The websites, the videos, the costumes. They all look seriously expensive.

uH... well he's a successful musician! lol of course it looks expensive.  Doubtless he spent a lot of money to look that sharp, well put-together and organized.  LOL that's like saying wow, did you see that Beatles concert?  It all looked so expensive.  That's the point!    It makes the fans happy to see their beloved leader looking super-spiffy!  It makes us go all drooly.  seriously.

..


I sw00n for Dr. Steel.  His voice makes me weak... he could read me bedtime stories any day.

And he's so fantastically polite in his emails.

Yah - he answers fan emails even!  FTW!  He's the most fantastic musician ever!












of course, he may have knocked over a few banks after he split the sanitarium, also.  That.. that might explain the 'expensiveness'...

[MissZahrah]

I'm liking it quite well, thanks.

[imapiratearg]

Looks like a shtick to me.  I'll get a closer look when I get home tonight.

[Scandanavian War Machine]

i don't get it

[MissZahrah]

i don't get it

Um.... he's a musician.


With an over-active fan club.

[Tom]

Hank Pine and Lily Fawn are better by far.

[MissZahrah]

Yes, they do seem a tad overzealous, don't they?

One might even say slightly silly.

Silly is encouraged.


Fun is mandatory.


Happy will emerge.


There ya go.  of course it's silly.  He's a mad scientists bent on world domination ... and he sings and makes robots and toys for kids, and burns down toy factories where he got fired and escapes from the sanitarium, I mean what about this screams "serious" to anyone?! 

But it's fun!  That's the important part.

Interview with Doctor Steel

 

[The Grackle]

Hey! A fellow Toy Soldier!

[KharBevNor]

What the fuck is this shit?

[MissZahrah]

Hey! A fellow Toy Soldier!

*TACKLE-HUG*


ONE OF US! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

 

[Tom]

Man, these guys are creepy.

[KharBevNor]

Seriously this is like some unholy union between ICP and the Dresden Dolls.

[MissZahrah]

*Laughs hysterically for 5 minutes as all the other bunny suicide images flash through my mind*


Dresden Dolls are fantastic.  Anything that is likened to them must be equally fantastic. 

It's gotta be a rule somewhere.



If not, it is now.



Rule 68.  Anything 'like' the Dresden Dolls must be as equally fantastic.

[Tom]

You can't make up rules like that and anything that encourages a cult (in the literal sense) following is kinda creepy or gay. That said, the Dreden Dolls aren't bad.

[Oli]

[MissZahrah]

You can't make up rules like that and anything that encourages a cult (in the literal sense) following is kinda creepy or gay. That said, the Dreden Dolls aren't bad.

I can so make up rules like that.  


 

And anyway, IT'S NOT A CULT FOR FUCK-SAKE!  IT'S JUST ABOUT HAVING FUN!  No one is going to be drinking Kool-Aid or waiting for the UFO gods to come and take us away, nor will we be barricading ourselves inside a compound with megaphones to talk to the FBI.  

WE JUST LIKE HIS MUSIC.  And we think everyone else should have a chance to like it, too.

 

[Elk]

I think of Dr.Steel as a cooler steampunk version of the Aquabats (Not the music, but the following). So instead of Aquacadets, you got.... ah, steampunks.

So you got the same fanatical following, just... a little less obnoxious.

And I certainly wouldn't call it a cult.

Toy Soldiers Unite!

[McTaggart]

What is good about the Dresden Dolls?

[MissZahrah]

Delilah

[imapiratearg]

Rule 68.  Anything 'like' the Dresden Dolls must be as equally fantastic.

No.  They do awful covers of Neutral Milk Hotel songs.

Also, the Aquabats are way cooler than this guy, because they don't really take themselves seriously.

[MissZahrah]

Yes, some people take themselves way too seriously.


Most of us are just finding an awesome excuse to have fun and giggle like crazy over a 'job well done'.

If you think we somehow "take ourselves seriously" then you are sorely mistaken. 


Look at my face.. is this a 'serious' face? 

[ViolentDove]

Dear Miss Zahrah, Elk, and the other guy who's name I can't read because the reply window doesn't scroll that far,

Your organisation/street team/cult gives me the willies.

Regards etc.,

-ViolentDove.

[Elk]

Fair 'nuff.

[McTaggart]

Delilah

Really?

[Tom]

You can't make up rules like that and anything that encourages a cult (in the literal sense) following is kinda creepy or gay. That said, the Dreden Dolls aren't bad.

Why do I keep forgetting sarcasm isn't detectable on the internet.

[McTaggart]

I caught the sarcasm. The Dresden Dolls are terrible.


[edit]Man I have got to stop this. Hating the Dresden Dolls is gonna become my schtick.

[wesleyv]

I only listen to artists if they have been shot 5 times or if they've ever been crushed by a steamroller.

[Kai]

[KharBevNor]

Kai, stop taking drugs.

You know, I'm not a huge fan of the Dresden Dolls, though I like 'em now and then, but why is a poor video-cam recording of a band having fun covering a song they like reason to condemn them?

Newsflash: Jeff Mangum can't sing anyway.

[Funk Thompson]

I like it.

He totally stole my idea though - my nickname is "Professor Funk Thompson" due to an ill-fated halloween costume, and I was going to start a 12 piece funk / jam / psychedelic group and dress up like a mad scientist and play the accordion with 2 female back-up vocalists dressed as either nurses or hot lab assistants

[MissZahrah]

.. Has anyone actually.. ya know... listened to the music?    Or are you all too hung up on the fan club? 

[Funk Thompson]

The music is not good in the sense that there are no really talented musicians, and a lot sounds a bit the same.

But it is fun music, a couple songs I really dug, and the whole steampunk shtick is neat to me.

[MissZahrah]

But it is fun music,

huzzah!!!  You get it!   

[ViolentDove]

Dinosaurs

Post of the Year.

[imapiratearg]

.. Has anyone actually.. ya know... listened to the music?    Or are you all too hung up on the fan club? 

I gave it a listen.  I thought it was pretty boring.

You know, I'm not a huge fan of the Dresden Dolls, though I like 'em now and then, but why is a poor video-cam recording of a band having fun covering a song they like reason to condemn them?

Newsflash: Jeff Mangum can't sing anyway.

You're right, it's no good reason to condemn them.  They played the song fine enough, I suppose.  I think it was the fact that they tried being all dramatic and serious about it and it came off as both pretentious and ridiculous and that's why I thought it was awful.

[Tom]

Or are you all too hung up on the fan club? 

I'm not but the doctor is.

[mattgcn]

I like the idea of Doctor Steel, and I like his music. I'm not as big a fan as my friend Julie, but I'm a proud toy soldier anyway.

And honestly? He's having fun with it. Good for him!
