Regarding the internet’s negative culture, I think it’s largely due to accessibility and anonymity. And aside from intentional harm, I think it’s simply in our nature to share negative emotions more readily. When someone is happy and content, there’s no conflict and no drama. The sun is shining, the weather is nice—I think I’ll go swim in the lake and chill out. But negative emotions are more irritating and urgent. You feel the need to do something with them. That’s why negativity is so prevalent.
This is also evident when you look at clickbaity and misleading article titles—negativity generates more views and attention.

I don't agree that there is such a thing as a negative internet culture in general. Because the opposite is just as true.
Fan groups where everything the creator does is a stroke of genius, no matter how stupid and superfluous it was.
It is particularly bad on TikTok in the respective bubbles.
I think it should not matter whether someone has posted something negative or positive. Just the content, we can then agree or disagree.

Heavily disagree. While it is true that there's sometimes toxic possitivity with regards to hobby groups, there is 100% undoubtedly negative internet culture, which has completely changed over the last 10 to 15 years.
Seriously, look at any article that has released in that timeframe, especially in Gaming for example. It's pure negativity. There are ragebaiters and troll farms working around the clock pumping out false narratives to get people worked up. Look up anything about the Switch 2 and you'll think, based on the videos that will be shown to you, that the device is a crime against humanity and the worst thing to happen in decades. And the same definitely happens for other hobbies and topics as well.
Most social media sites are filled to the brim with content that is supposed to elicit a negative emotion. Because those bind the users more than happy one. In real life it's not the same. People are more than willing to share positive feelings. Your coworker will tell you about their new appartment, about the concert they went to, about their pets or children and so on. Online stuff like that is ignored, there it's about all the negative stuff.

I think there's also a culture of people being negative without even realising it, they are just so used to reading trolls over the last 25 years that they have just caught negativity off them.

Most of the time negativity is being perceived as cool and edgy by ones being negative. "Oh, you like that band/song/album? How cute, it's obvious that you don't know anything about music since you're blind to these flaws:...". It is easier to say something negative that to say something positive. You can see that even in i.e. corporate jobs - it is easier to nitpick someone elses work than to come up with own ideas/work. Bonus points - you still look like you are contributing or, worse, that you are expert on the topic since you always see flaws in work of others.
Also - hate is better for social media, it is proven that negative emotions spread faster and have better engagement than normal/positive ones. So being hateful is easy way to boost likes/shares.

Maybe that quote? I thought he could mean live videos too.
So you're saying that Bruce has bad taste in pants AND headwear? :-D

What I found about their recordings:
Tanya - she plays bass on 2 songs on Dee Snider's 2018 solo album. I couldn't find more.
Dave - his earliest studio recording is listed from 1997 in Wikipedia. His famous works are Roy's TOG's Dweller On The Threshold and Puddle Of Mudd's Welcome To Galvania and Ubiquitous.
Philip - he recorded and played with the band Combustion 96 (Bruce's recent solo tour support), 5 singles from Volume 1. He also has an album with a local band in 2006 called Raid, not sure you can find audio.
Chris - some writing with Blaze, Zander Bleck, Eric Dover... probably more.
Mistheria - Vivaldi Metal Project, Tower Of Babel, Rob Rock, quite a lot of guest appearances for various artists.
In one of his interviews this year he said that they might release some live videos in 2026 from the tour, maybe he has given up on the idea of a full show, unfortunately. Maybe from the next tour with the band's first album together.
I hope for at least 3 live videos. As for songs: Accident, Abduction, Tears, Alchemist, Navigate, Shadow (of the new songs, maybe he'd prefer Resurrection Men?). Flash Of The Blade? Naah.
The Mandrake Project comics seem more liked than I thought. They have won in the Best Collection category at the Tripwire Awards 2025.
