Guest Zombie Re-Munched Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 What and you think if NME came here to review some of our stinking-as-shitwater Aberdeen bands they'd be heralding them as "saviours of rock" too?

betamax Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Originally posted by Zombie Re-Munched:The only relevance they have is to the advertisers and promoters keeping their publication afloat............ but now its become highly affected by the money of the advertisers. Put it this way, i can remember a time when writers like Steven Wells, David Quantick or Johnny Cigarettes would've ripped shit like The Darkness or Kings Of Leon apart, nowadays there's no-one like them guys, just a bunch of poshkids trying to replicate Lester Bangs' style of writing, its hilariously patronising and thats the only entertaining thing about it all, the fact that its become everything you thought it would never become.They just seem to jump at every whim of the record companies now, everything they write is supremely affected by them.......revenue. yupwhich is exactly why you daft NME junkies should cease procurement of said comic.....do you realise you are propping up the very thing you supposedly detest by buying it each week....if you keep buying corrupted media they will keep selling to ya and nothing will ever changeif you support the mainstream and the underground will stay dead foreverNME might have had some integrity years ago and been a decent read too....but its been smash hits V2.0 for fucking years now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
