Maybe, but at least I am not in Glasgow

[METALMAN]

You're almost certainly somewhere much shiter given that there is only one place in UK better than Glasgow and you're prolly not there right now

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Is that place 'Not Glasgow'?

Eagles of Death Metal. I loved them up until a few months ago when I found out Jesse Hughes was a Trumpette. I keep trying to enjoy them but I can't move past it

Hey you can now add Blur to that list after I saw this interview from years back

Nardwuarc is a fucking goof. I like him. I spent a good few hours one day watching Nardwuar interviews on YouTube. His stuff with Jello Biafra is good (my understanding is that Jello is a fan of him).

[Benji]

He seems like a nice guy. I get that he's off-putting, but Blur were outright pricks for no good reason there.

Here's another video involving people being pricks for no reason. This time, it's Henry Rollins and Black Flag.

I've seen that, and Henry was an ass as a youngster. He's mellowed a lot as he aged. I have to imagine he'd probably think he was a dick himself. That's actually in Detroit that interview. 

I met Henry years back, and he's a cool guy. Really stoic and straight forests but friendly and engaging. 

Mike Patton always struck me as an ass. 

[Skummy]

Mike Patton stole my friend's toy monkey.

[Colly]

Didn't you play bass in Mike Patton Stole My Friend's Toy Monkey?

No that was @ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster

[Colly]

I'm mixing up my *mmy's.

[Bobfoc]

Mike Patton seems like someone who's friendly to journalists and broadcasters, but a dick to his fans.

[GhostMachine]

Henry Rollins hosted a series on the History Channel that I watched called "10 Things You Didn't Know About..." Each episode would be on a different subject, like money or the founding fathers. Did a bang up job as the host.

I'm not a fan of Black Flag, but I like some of his solo stuff, like "Liar".

[VerbalPuke]

Not a band but classic rock. I think I hate it. Well...I do like sone stuff that might fall into that category but people heralding shit like Styx, Boston, REO Speedwagon, or Kansas (basically anything Adam Sandler likes) as this golden age of  of music. Fuck that.

[Benji]

Aww, I like most of those bands in a "they have some great singles" kind of way.

[Pizza]

I do too. But I also like cheesy fun empty pop songs. Which is really what Styx and Boston and Kansas are. There's nothing wrong with that, just like there's nothing wrong with liking LMFAO. But there's the whole classic rock elitist "they don't make music like this these days" idea as if bands like Styx were the pinnacle of anything.

That's kind of it for me, the baby boomers shitting on silly music and then praising their own shitty music. 

Everybody is entitled to enjoy what sounds good to their ears of course.

Arctic Monkeys.

"Scummy" and "I Bet You Look Good..." were bangers, but the rest are totally naff and I do not get the music press' hard-on for them at all.
