Alkaline Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Yeah' date=' the sensational Alex Harvey Band were just terrible, never infuenced any of the current generation of bands at all - kinda shows how narrow minded you are really, no great surprise there... There's a definite thing of musical snobbery on this board shame to see it continuing, music's good if it does what its meant to, which is means something to some people and entertains people, and with tens of millions of album sales between them I doubt you can argue that the music hasnt entertained. Music doesnt have to be original to be good, sometimes it just has to entertain.CheersStuart[/quote']Stuart, you are a fucking prat. Chris is not narrowminded, i'm sure knowing him, the smily at the end was some sort of indication of sarcasm. Get a grip u plank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your post has just depressed me more than anything else over the last week or so. not just because it's so fucking patronising, but really if a reply like the one you just posted gets made as a result of a (come on admit it) pretty damn good one liner from myself then what does that say about how uptight and insecure people are on here?

Chris Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 It's not exactly the first time you've made a dig at my taste in music tho is it ? yeah that's true. but it's not as though I'm genuinely appalled by your taste in music. just sometimes you go on about the same 2 or 3 acts a bit. in this case though it was simply a joke, nothing more.
