french_disko Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Jimi Hendrix's roadie says guitarist's manager murdered him | News | NME.COMIt's funny how he kept that quiet for over 30 years & suddenly decided to reveal all when he had a book to sell.

Sturtpot Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Yeah it kind of screams publicity stunt. If he was that concerned about it he would have reported it to the police before splashing it over an autobiography. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 It's in NME, so it probably isn't true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraser Mac Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Jeepers! Do people still read that garbage?Last time i read it, there was an article proclaiming that guitar hero was creating a generation of metal meat heads that only listened to pantera and slipknot. and how it was a danger to society. Great magazine huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great magazine huh?Don't these people celebrate Pete Doherty?Anyone that glorifies someone so utterly un-talented (never mind all his "extra curricular activities") doesn't deserve an opinion on anything.The only danger Slipknot pose, is a world eyeliner shortage due to the massive influx of 14 year old boys wanting to look like Joey Jordison.

Great example to set to the kids.The thing that has always fucked me off about that magazine is it's propensity to seek out 'cool' bands as opposed to good bands. You can be total shit but if you look cool you'll get on the cover. Also how quickly they turn and start slagging a band off when they go off them. When I used to read it, they used to (rightly or wrongly) rip Stereophonics apart in every issue for being bland, but not constructively, they would just call them shit. I didn't like them in the first place but I'm sure a lot of people are influenced by that magazine and after seeing them get slated in every issue decided from that alone that they would also hate Stereophonics, and it became the cool thing to do, and probably led to a drop in album sales. It's worth stating that they used to champion Sterophonics and then just turned on them.The same happened with The Darkness. When they first came out, NME was tripping over itself to suck them off, put them on the cover every week and use every superlative under the sun to describe them. Then it transpired that Justin Hawkins had refused to do any interviews with them and publicly called it a "shit-rag", and then just like that they were insulting The Darkness on every page. How is that in any way impartial? They do virtually nothing for music./rant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Von Mondragon Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 NME is a comic now, and has been for over 10 years. On the other hand, Brian Jones was murdered, by that builder dude Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
