So, the facebook group was important, but why no mention of the fact that Shannon Larratt first had him interviewed in 2008? http://news.bmezine.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/pubring/guest/20080318.html

108.9.136.243 (talk) 14:57, 10 August 2011 (UTC) Shannon Larratt first posted about Rick, dubbing him at the time "Skullboy" in 2006: http://news.bmezine.com/2006/11/13/you-call-yourself-a-misfits-fan/ The body modification community was well aware of Rick for years before the facebook group was made, this should be included.[reply]

Thank you. I'm totally scatter-brained and a bit fucked-up these days but have made a note of it on my userpage. It will get added first. I have to look over the article here carefully again and have about a thousand things gyrating around inside my head right now. Nora lives (talk) 00:47, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Meaning I have to stare at it for a while, since I'll have to do some rewriting. Also, I don't even remember seeing that earlier post here in May in my watchlist, probably because it got buried when I was having a little "adventure" around then (getting arrested and so on).

Strangely someone seems to have reverted/removed his early history, so I've put it back in... There's quite a bit that could be added, someone just needs to dig through the BME posts about him so it can be referenced -- the progression of the tattoos, who did them, etc... There are a few other problems that I'll try and remember to correct when I have a moment.Snowrail (talk) 13:35, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I also think it would be worth including a mention of the "copyright" violation in S01E01 of American Horror Story, which Fox settled out of court with him, as well as his appearance in the recent DREDD movie.Snowrail (talk) 13:35, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wait... since when is Tumblr a reliable source?!?! 24.2.160.161 (talk) 06:56, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The one uploaded to

Turns out to be a cropped screenshot of the video, in which case I'm hoping we can use it.

This article is completely copied and pasted from the website http://rickgenest.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=59&Itemid=113 Can it be taken down for something like plagiarism? The tone is clearly totally wrong. 109.148.157.189 (talk) 13:36, 6 October 2013 (UTC) Emma[reply]

The article says that Genest was first introduced to the public on November 13, 2006 in a blog post by Shannon Larratt on BME's ModBlog and is sourced to that blog. However, the source only verifies the part of the sentence that says there was a blog post, not that this was Genest's first introduction to the mainstream public. Does anyone have a source for this being the first introduction? We'd need some kind of secondary source saying that this is true. Ca2james (talk) 01:37, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't it be "Zombie Boy"? That is more common that "Rick Genest". Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 14:21, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
