Guess I feel ya there, they are pretentious as hell.
I remember I went to go tell their bassist the show was great and talk about effects (they had octrons and shit!) and I held my hand out to shake his. He was really snobbish so naturally he held his hand out in a douchey half-assed manner. For some reason I aggressively reached for his hand but only caught his finger, and I stood there for a good 4 seconds looking at this guy square in the eye with my hand wrapped around his finger.
