  1. Technical skill doesn't necessarily make a good song, and often, doesn't.

    I rate Bright Eyes music well above Joe Satriani cos he has amazing lyrics and nice chord sequences, and Conor Oberst barely plays the guitar.

    That's one example, but theres plenty more.

    People get fed up with long solos that lead no where and are just guitars being self indulgent.

  2. listen wiseguy, there is not a national hotline for 'car questions'. there is a fucking phone number for the library. it doesn't take a fucking genius to figure this one out, 'tub thumper'

    How about calm the fuck down, nutjob. It's not doing anyone harm.

    And yeah, you need a new library card.

  3. Tomorrow, thousands of mindless consumers will eat in burgerking/mcdonalds/subway/kfc etc because "its easy" "its convenient" and "they like it". They will shovel an unhealthy, tasteless and unethically produced amalgam of sugars, fats, carbohydrates and protein into their mouths, past their desensitised tastebuds which perhaps have never been exposed to anything other than this kind of filth, and they will *enjoy it*.

    Many of these thoughtless, uncultured robots will then proceed to pay for cinema tickets and go and watch the new batman film, their experience augmented with even more mass produced unhealthy junk food. They will come out declaring it to be the best film they've ever seen, and bask in an existentially reassuring sense of one-ness with millions of other mindless philistines as they discuss the deeper parts of the film such as "did u see when he killed da bad dude, that was bare funny" and "yea did u check her tits in that catsuit man!".

    The same thing will happen again and again and again for months on end as each of these tasteless, pointless chunks of entertainment protein get hyped, released, and exploited. Fair enough if you derive pleasure from eating (metaphorically speaking) shit, it's the way you act as if it's normal, as if there is an excuse for propping up these industries that degrade humanity to such an awful extent, that I find so offensive.

    Sorry, oh enlightened one!

    Do you have any idea how much of an arrogant prick you can come across as sometimes?

  4. There are people who consider watching two animals beat each other unconscious to be entertainment; the fact you are being entertained does not invalidate any kind of examination of the social, cultural or moral implications of what it is that is giving you a hardon for <however much a cinema ticket costs these days>.

    It's just a superhero movie man. You take everything too seriously. Chillax, buddy.

  5. OMG WTF!

    hollywood releases massively hyped film based on boring, played out 1940s comic book franchise in an attempt to squeeze every last fucking penny out of it in lieu of actually funding creative, original, interesting films, and millions of sheeple obligingly flock to the cinemas to pay to watch it.

    nothing to see here folks, run along now but mind you don't step on the corpses of the tossers who went to see Ironman and died of coke and popcorn poisoning on your way out.

    Oooooh, you are dark

    Yeah I think its a bit of a catch 22 with Heath, he either doesn't win it, or he wins it but everyone puts it down to the fact he recently died, no matter how good his acting is.

    Im looking forward to seeing this. I'm also interested to see Christian Bale, big fan of American Psycho etc.

  6. well, they are good but not because they've had top ten hits. they make ace pop music.

    This is true. However the idea behind pop music is in the name, it appeals to the majority, its popular, so if you sell lots of records it does indicate a halfway decent pop record. Saying that though, lots of marketing etc behind it...mhm...what a mess...

    Anyway back on topic.

    John Lydon probably isn't a racist, a member of his entourage maybe, and both Kele and John appear to be wankers.

  7. Ha ha! Well, at least people still want to hear the Sex Pistols 30 years on. Bloc Party will be lucky to get on the bill at Butlins in 30 years time.

    Yeah and status quo can still get high on the bill at festivals on the back of old records, but they're crap.

    It's just laziness. I know Lydon himself has released his own gash solo material sporadically through the 80's/90's but still riding off the success of that one record, not really striving to make anything better.

  8. Brilliant argument. Girls Aloud and McFly have had various top ten hits and albums and and a big fanbase. Are they good bands too?

    Em, yeah, the debate was whether bloc party had been forgotten. Selling records proves they haven't.

    Them being good was a seperate statement. Try'n keep up, love.

    And yeah I'd say both of those bands are good at what they set out to do, make pop records.

  9. And there is some amount of shite spoken on this forum, but anyone seriously trying to suggest that Bloc Party deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as the Sex Pistols is surely taking the fucking piss.

    Agreed. A has been wash out band that made two average albums that still live off of them 30 years on shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as a half decent band that produces good records on a regular basis.

    The only comparison you can draw is both the frontmen are twats.
