"I'm forever near a stereo asking myself 'What the fuck is this?' And the answer is always RHCP."

Thom Yorke on Kanye West: "I think we're entering a very dangerous time. The West has set itself up, decided it's in charge, not for good intentions, not for the benefit of mankind."

"When we did that tour with Kiss (in 1979), I think that it probably did them more harm than good in some ways. Where what they did was going slowly out-of-date and what we did was fast coming-in-date. We were more touchable, reachable, more street if you like at the time, believe it or not, in the denim and leather, as opposed to the untouchable superhero people. We had real faces and real names."
- K.K. Downing

"I'm tired to death of hearing about the Beatles. They're dead. They're ugly. Get over it."

-- Trent Reznor

"He plays all right for a millionaire." - Cecil Taylor on Miles Davis.

"Now that's funny; until I heard that I didn't think he had a sense of humor." - Miles Davis on Cecil Taylor.

In 1987, he was invited to a White House dinner by Ronald Reagan. Few of the guests appeared to know who he was. During dinner, Nancy Reagan turned to him and asked what he'd done with his life to merit an invitation. Straight-faced, Davis replied: "Well, I've changed the course of music five or six times. What have you done except fuck the president?"

I was at a Manson concert once and he went on a rant about Reznor being pretentious.

>Straight-faced, Davis replied: "Well, I've changed the course of music five or six times. What have you done except fuck the president?"
I hope this is true.

"We've played some shows with them and they really treat people like shit. Whenever I've been around them, I've found that they not only treated their crew like shit, they treated the audience like shit. They treated everybody in their vicinity like shit. I thought, 'Who do they think they are?'"
Wayne Coyne on Arcade Fire

"Being around Beck, I did get the feeling that he's just removed from everyday existence. Beck didn't treat people badly, he was just so oblivious to other people's lives. None of it's horrible. He's not a Nazi or anything. He's just a little inconsiderate. To be considerate you have to have some idea of what's going on. I mean, we'd be set to rehearse from noon till midnight every day. And there'd be days when he wouldn't show up at all, and he doesn't call. I mean, we have cellphones."
Wayne Coyne on Beck

"I was totally surprised, the last time I'd seen him, he was like, 'I love you like a brother, you've helped us so much and I'll always be your friend.' He's a showman and he picks on people sometimes. He does it to everybody, his band, his friends, anybody who walks in the room. I think in the press it comes off as an attack, but he's just on permanent truth serum."
Beck on Wayne Coyne

"I've never heard of them"- Kanye West on Death Grips

>>46904810
That's pretty crazy because Davis was hardly a newcomer to the music scene. The guy was 60 years old at the time and had been active for 40 years. I'd understand if the Reagans didn't know who, say, Dave Mustaine was, but come on, man.

>>46904796
I now have more reason to hate Reznor

"My favorite rapper is Nas, [and] all I want more than anything is to hear him tell me "I'm dope", but no, he likes Big Sean and Tyler, the Creator. I mean shit. All the rappers I look up to think I suck or think I'm a weirdo or some shit. All this shit I'm talking and there's just one guy besides my family [that] hit me up and that's Donald Glover. I love him for that forever. All you other niggas fake as fuck, though."

--Danny Brown

>>46904862
Funny thing about Beck was a recent interview where they asked him "You're 43. Do you ever feel silly playing songs you wrote when you were 23?" And he said "No, absolutely not. Your songs become a part of your identity, so to speak."

>>46904916
Yeah because you can imagine them getting down with davis, coltrane and others in the list

probably partied with tipper gore as well

"It's difficult really to say where songs do spring from. One of the things we certainly haven't had happen to us, we've not been really influenced by America and we're proud of the fact that we're British. I mean, all over the world people try and emulate the British sound and they can't do it."

That full quote always makes me laugh because the first time I read it, I thought it was Frank Zappa talking about Lou Reed.

>>46904990
I remember that George Harrison expressed his disdain for the California bands like Jefferson Airplane and The Doors. He thought they were too amateurish and didn't have the same level of musicianship as British bands.

>>46904830
“I was sitting backstage after the 1974 Grammys with Bernie Taupin (Elton John’s lyricist) and John Lennon. This was when Brian was really having some mental issues. During the course of the conversation, I kept seeing Brian out of the corner of my eye, just kind of staring at us from different angles. Finally, he came up to the table, bent down and whispered in my ear ‘Hey Alice, introduce me to John Lennon.’ I couldn’t BELIEVE that these two men had never met! They were virtually neck and neck in the 60’s as the greatest bands on the planet, and I’m SURE they must have crossed paths at some point. But then I thought to myself, ‘Wow, if they REALLY have never met, I’m going to be the one to introduce them and become a part of rock history!’ So I merely said, ‘Brian Wilson, this is John Lennon. John Lennon, this is Brian Wilson.’ Lennon was very cordial and polite, saying things like ‘Hello Brian, I’ve always wanted to meet you. I’ve always admired your work, and Paul and I considered Pet Sounds one of the best albums ever made.’ Brian thanked him and walked away, at which point Lennon went right back to his conversation like nothing had happened. About ten minutes later, Brian came by our table again, leaned down and whispered something to Bernie, and all of a sudden, Bernie was saying ‘Brian Wilson, this is John Lennon. John Lennon, Brian Wilson.’ Lennon was just as cordial and polite as the first time, saying essentially the same thing about always wanting to meet him. As soon as Brian walked away, John looked at both of us and casually said in his typical Liverpudlian accent, ‘I’ve met him hundreds of times. He’s not well, you know.’”

"Fuck off, wanker" - Brian Eno to Alan McGee

"Ah poor thing. I feel sorry for him. First of all: without the assistance of Leiber & Stoller I don't think we wouldn't have an Elvis Presley. Without anyone to write the songs that he was singing. And without the black artists who pioneered those songs. His biggest hit, "Hound Dog" he wasn't the first to record that. It was done by Willie Mae Thornton on the Peacock label, because I had her recording long before Presley brought it out. When I was going to high school he was a big star. Everyone loved him. I couldn't stand him. And when he finally turned into this drug infested blimp and O.D'ed it was just tragic."

-- Frank Zappa

>"Well, I've changed the course of music five or six times. What have you done except fuck the president?"

Fucking rekt.
I mean even if he was an asshole, and ive heard he was, thats amazing

>>46905012
Not quite
He said that if XXX was his OKC then he wanted Old to be his Kid A. Something about how okc was all about the lyrics but kid a was all about the soundscapes, which he wanted to do with Old, saying it was all about the beats

>>46905096
Ah okay thanks

Still from what I've heard about him he might be a good entry into hip hop for me

>>46904936
That made me feels for some reason

>>46905061
this is insane

>>46904936
Danny Brown is an awesome dude who loves actual good hip hop music more than any other mainstream rapper. along with the ignorant, ironic guy zelooperz he brought along this really great rapper named raz simone. awesome fucking guy with actually good lyrics, the crowd full of swag-apes reacted positively to him because he was a good showman but he could have been saying anything and they wouldnt have cared.

rap is dying, and what's worse is that people seem to feel like it's the best it's ever been. it's honestly pretty sad

>>46905137
no shit

>>46905119
He's a guy with real problems, man. That's one of those moments when the mask comes off and you see that the guys you admire are just people.

He's fucking old and he's been working at this shit for years. Imagine how that feels when you finally get a little back for your work and kids like ASAP and OF cut right in front of you with some old bullshit.

>>46905137
Most 60's musicians were.

>>46905116
Found the quote for you
>I made XXX with the aim of getting great reviews. And when I started making Old, I was trying to think of artists that came back from getting great reviews and made an album that was just as good– or better! The only group I could really come up with was Radiohead. So if XXX was my OK Computer, then I’d have to make my Kid A next. So I studied Kid A, and I took away that it’s not so much about the lyrics as it is about the way the beats feel, so what drives this album is the production. I wanted to have the most amazing beats, but I still want them to sound minimal– it’s still gotta sound like a Danny Brown beat. It can’t sound like no fucking Kanye orchestra shit. That ain't me. That’s why I took so long with making this album. I was waiting for the perfect beats. And I got ‘em.

Also Danny brown is amazing. Definitely check out XXX, some great stiff on there. I prefer it to old, but old is still great. One of my favourite rappers, not just because of his skill, but because of his weird as fuck but still catchy voice.

And he knows his shit with music as well. Check out his 5 part interview with ASAP Rocky on yt. I think its pt 3 (?) where he takes about how forever changes is one of his favourite albums if all time and how Hendrix jacked their style. He also talks about how he loves reading music reviews and will buy albums just to deconstruct what the reviewer says and figure out why it got good reviews
Meanwhile ASAP is just like nigga imma come clean bruhbruh...I have no idea who these niggas are you talkin bout chortlechortlechortle

Elvis Costello on Morrissey
“Morrissey writes wonderful song titles, but sadly he often forgets to write the song.”

Courtney Love on Dave Grohl
“As for that drummer, well, he’s hit on me so many times. He’s just a very very conflicted guy about me, which is why he continually writes songs about me to hear he ‘hates’ me more than ‘anyone else.’ Kurt loathed HIM more than anyone else (except a journalist) … He’s just sub-mediocre kind of [guy] who does this ‘nice guy’ nonsense.”

Dave Grohl on Courtney Love
“She’s an ugly fucking bitch.”

Kurt Cobain on Guns N’ Roses
“They’re really talentless people, and they write crap music, and they’re the most popular rock band on the earth right now. I can’t believe it.”

“The only Cure he needs is a good barber”

- Morrissey on Robert Smith from the Cure

"The fact that so many books still name the Beatles "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success: the Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worth of being saved."

His music is very self-aware and the exaggeration is for thematic effect. The problem is that it seems to go over the heads of a lot of people despite how obvious it is. Party people see him and be like "fuck yeah danny brown crazy druggie nigga" and the rest be like "oh god not this fuckup."

People have bought the image hook-line-and-sinker and forgotten that he's a person. And when he needed help they were nowhere to be found. It must be a strange thing to be so popular, but only to find out that people love the fiction you've woven.

>>46905303
True, I didn't think it was too bad though, I mean danny is almost 10 years older than ASAP, so it was understandable that he has researched music a bit more. ASAP did seem like he was always trying to 1up Danny though.

Let's not forget that this man wrote a song callled 'Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others' almost 30 years before tumblr was a thing, yet managed to captured their feelings on the oppresive patriarchal power in society.

Not to forget that he's a complete shiteating, assinine, self indulgement mong. His quality of song writing can (and has been) emulate by any 15 Year Old who knows three chords.

When someone says they lile The Smiths, it's usually and indicator of how shit their taste is and how poorly they view themselves.

"Pitchfork helped me a lot. First of all, there's no way I can make something worse than that. It would be impossible. It put a lot of people on my side too. But I'm not worried. If I worked for Pitchfork, I wouldn't give myself a 9.0 either. They're a brand, they sell tickets to a show they put on every year. They're not going to give a 1.6 to someone who can be at their show and sell tickets. They're not the same publication that I grew up with anyway. It's changed, and that happens. Any good idea starts with a movement, becomes a business, and ends up a racket. And I'm not calling Pitchfork a racket, but they're a business. And I didn't fit their business structure. But I just want there to be a conversation, and this started a conversation about what Childish Gambino stands for. That was the worst part of that Pitchfork thing. I know people are going to trash the music, I see them doing that shit and I see where they're coming from. There's shit on Camp where if I saw it as a kid, I would say that that shit is corny. And I'm willing to take that. But the shit that I didn't like about that Pitchfork article and that really made me mad is that the writer—and I know this nigga too because he lives on my block. Fuck that nigga. He's afraid of me, and that's something he's gotta deal with. But the thing that I didn't like in that review was that he said, "Oh, well Jay Z and Beyonce go to a Grizzly Bear concert—there's no problem. This kid that is on Camp, he doesn't exist anymore, because there's people like Tyler the Creator etc." and I'm like, "Fuck you. You don't know. You didn't grow up like me.” That's the thing. You don't get to tell me that racism is over. That's the one thing that bothered me most about that."

Well honestly you can't really critique an album until you give it 3-5 listens. The first listen of anything for me is always meh.
Personally I can't really describe what I like about him, catchy as fuck voice, good beats, technically skilled, but mostly the character that he has cultivated. His split personality between depressed and suicidal and life of the party is pretty fascinating. Makes me built a lot of empathy for him as well I guess

"The Beastie Boys were a huge thing when I was a kid. First, because they proved that white guys could succeed in what was a mostly black music genre.

You didn't need to wear crazy costumes or play an instrument to be a rapper."

>Well honestly you can't really critique an album until you give it 3-5 listens.

You can though. If I listen to an entire album and not a single song piques my interest, then I'm not going to listen to it 4 more times to decide if I like it or not.

Actually, this is a fairly good critique of /mu/'s approach to music as well -- too many "GOAT" ratings given to crap recorded within the last 5 years and abysmal ignorance of anything older that's even slightly outside /mu/core.

>>46905598

Are you seriously this retarded? I'm not the moron who thinks there's some merit to a Danny Brown album.

You can't be so retarded as to think relistening to an album helps you judge it more objectively. It actually detracts from your ability to judge it because it is now something familiar to you and you will naturally like it more. That's why pop music is so contagious. You hear it everywhere and begin to accept and enjoy it.

It takes one listen to know if an album is worth listening to a second time.

>>46905238
I actually started the other way round. Sure, I've seen 2PAC WESTSIDE sprayed on every wall ever, but it was Saul Williams that introduced me to him. Saul's a really swell guy and what I got from him is that 2Pac was, too.
So I'm always kinda surprised about all the shit with Biggie and such.

>>46905646

You can if you want, but if I just sat down and listened to 40-60 minutes of material and heard nothing I liked, I'm probably not going to spend that time doing it again.

Is it really that hard for you two? LOL. He's simply saying that many rock critics think most successful=the best, so therefore the Beatles must be the best -- which proves these critics clueless as in reality the Beatles did not sell more than anyone else.

It just seems like a waste when I could be listening to old albums I know I'll love or new ones that might click on first listen. A load of them do.
Maybe forcing yourself to listen to albums you don't expect much from is good if you're into reviews and criticism and shit. So even if you don't like it, you're getting something out of the negatives. I'm not really into that, though.

>>46905769
Let's be blunt; there have been low class trash musicians since forever. The Beatles were street punks from Liverpool. But I never remember them using that kind of language to describe other musicians."

I listen to an album. If I like what I'm hearing I think "That was a good album, I'm going to listen to that again" and go about my day. Next time I'm relaxing listening to music I think "That album I listened to awhile ago was good, I'm going to listen to it again." Or I listen to an album and don't like it, I think "This is a bad album, I am not going to listen to it again" and I go about my day. Next time I'm relaxing and listening to music I think "That album I listened to awhile ago wasn't that good, I'm going to listen to something else."

An album you enjoy doesn't need 2 listens to decide if you like them or not.

>>46905712

eh, it's a possibility that I do.

>>46905736
Loveless peaked at 24 on the UK albums chart.

I guess it was fairly well-known, but considering that this was the pre-internet era, and given its lack of chart position in other countries, it wasn't all that well known outside of Britain. The US was too busy with grunge at the time. Manic Street Preachers is a Welsh band, so it's not surprising that they knew a lot of shoegaze.

>>46905238
Or how when you really look into it, the Biggie/2pac beef was basically all because of 2pac being a backstabbing, whiny bitch who wanted attention, while Biggie just wanted to make music.

Rossini on Mozart

He roused my admiration when I was young; he caused me to despair when I reached maturity; he is now the comfort of my old age.
- Gioachino Rossini

Dvorak on Mozart

Mozart is sunshine.
- Antonin Dvorak

Copland on Mozart

Mozart in his music was probably the most reasonable of the world's great composers. It is the happy balance between flight and control, between sensibility and self-discipline, simplicity and sophistication of style that is his particular province... Mozart tapped once again the source from which all music flows, expressing himself with a spontaneity and refinement and breath-taking rightness that has never since been duplicated.
- Aaron Copland

Beethoven on Haydn

Though I had some instruction from Haydn, I never learned anything from him.
- Ludwig van Beethoven

Beethoven on Handel

He is the greatest composer that ever lived. I would uncover my head and kneel before his tomb.

Mozart on Handel

Handel understands effect better than any of us -- when he chooses, he strikes like a thunderbolt.

Chopin on Liszt

When I think of Liszt as a creative artist, he appears before my eyes rouged, on stilts, and blowing into Jericho trumpets fortissimo and pianissimo.
- Frédéric Chopin

Beethoven on Bach

The immortal god of harmony.
- Ludwig van Beethoven


And here's me favorite from Tchaikovsky, obtained from:http://www.musicwithease.com/brahms-quotes.html

Maybe its because I've never heard these critics but if you asked a normal person why they like the Beatles I doubt they'll say because they sold the most.

"When the punk rock movement broke out, it was sending the message that 'You know, we're tired of Led Zeppelin. We're tired of Pink Floyd, the skeleton of the Beatles, etc' When grunge happened in the early 90s, I realised 'Well America, you finally have your own punk movement 14 years after ours.'"

Oh, absolutely true. Still, you must admit that the contrast between >>46904981 and >>46905627 on the one hand, and >>46905204 and >>46905240 on the other, is both sad and depressing. Say what you will about the 19th and early 20th centuries, but at least very few people were able to get any mileage from boasting how stupid, crude, and low-life they were.

It's even more amusing when you consider that punk had its origins in, you know, the US. Plant's a good example of the smug know-nothing provincialism of many English. Oh, and Robert? Pretty much everybody was tired of the then-contemporary Led Zeppelin in the mid-70's.

This is another contemporary interview that Glenn gave:

"American bands come in one of two sorts. The first is the Kiss sort of group which is all about a big, flashy stage show. The other is the West Coast sound like the Eagles where everything is cool and perfectionist. Whereas British groups have a bit of a rough edge to them. We know how to sound raw, but also put on great shows. For Americans, there's no middle ground. Everything has to be as perfect as possible before you get on stage."

>>46906120
>Implying British bands don't put on the most boring stage shows of all time
>Where the actual fuck do you think the term "shoegaze" came from?

>>46906143
If you'd seen Judas Priest in their prime, hell no those concerts were anything but dull. They were more known as a live act than a studio one.

>>46906120

>>46904820

"During the Spiral tour we propped them up to get our audience turned on to them, and at that time a lot of the people in my circle were pretty far down the road as alcoholics. Not Manson. His drive for success and self-preservation was so high, he pretended to be fucked up a lot when he wasn't. Things got shitty between us and I'm not blameless. The majority of it though was coming from a resentment guy who finally got out from under the master's umbrella and was able to stab him in the back. a malicious guy and will step on anybody's face to succeed and cross any line of decency. Seeing him now, drugs and alcohol now rule his life and he's become a dopey clown. He used to be the smartest guy in the room. And as a fan of his talents, I hope he gets his shit together." -- TR

>>46906164
The exception that proves the rule. From the Beatles to Oasis to Arctic Monkeys, British rock ain't exactly known for its boisterous showmanship.

Stockhausen on Richard James:
"I heard the piece Aphex Twin of Richard James carefully: I think it would be
very helpful if he listens to my work Song Of The Youth, which is electronic
music, and a young boy's voice singing with himself. Because he would then
immediately stop with all these post-African repetitions, and he would look
for changing tempi and changing rhythms, and he would not allow to repeat
any rhythm if it were varied to some extent and if it did not have a
direction in its sequence of variations."

Noel Gallagher on Miley Cyrus:

"I think there's a trend, unfortunately, in the game, at the minute, of girls desperately trying to be provocative or desperately trying to – in inverted commas – "start the debate" about some old shit or other. Because, really, they're not very good. Do you know what I mean? We have it in England regularly, and you have it in the States. I feel bad for 'em. It's like, "Write a good song. Don't make a provocative video – write a good fucking song. That'll serve you better, I think." She was on TV recently, Miley Ray Cyrus, and it was just like, "What the fuck is all this about?" I don't know. It's a shame, because it puts all the other female artists back about fucking five years. Now, Adele and Emili Sande – that music, to me, is like music for fucking grannies, but at least it's got some kind of credibility."

Noel Gallagher on Arcade Fire:

"I haven't heard it. Anybody that comes back with a double album, to me, needs to pry themselves out of their own asshole. This is not the Seventies, okay? Go and ask Billy Corgan about a double album. Who has the fucking time, in 2013, to sit through 45 minutes of a single album? How arrogant are these people to think that you've got an hour and a half to listen to a fucking record?"

>(Kele) Okereke (Bloc Party) responded critically to comments made by Liam and Noel Gallagher of Oasis in early 2007. Liam called Bloc Party "A band off of University Challenge", while Noel dismissed them as "indie shit".

>In retaliation, Okereke stated, "I think Oasis are the most overrated and pernicious band of all time. They had a totally negative and dangerous impact upon the state of British music. They have made stupidity hip. They claim to be inspired by The Beatles but, and this saddens me, they have failed to grasp that The Beatles were about constant change and evolution. Oasis are repetitive Luddites."

>Ironically, when Oasis cancelled their headlining set at the Rock-en-Seine festival near Paris in August 2009 (the concert where the Gallagher brothers clashed backstage, which resulted in Oasis splitting up), it was Okereke who announced to the crowd that Oasis had cancelled their slot and dedicated their track "Mercury" to the Oasis fans in the crowd, referring to the Gallagher brothers as "those inbred twins" before announcing to the crowd "so I guess by default, we are headlining!"

lou red when inucting zappa into the rock and roll hall of fame

Whether writing symphonies, satirical broadsides or casting a caustic glow across the frontier of madness that makes up the American political landscape; whether testifying before Congress to put the PMRC in its rightful lowly place, or acting as a cultural conduit for President Vaclav Havel and the Czech government, Frank was a force for reason and honesty in the business deficient in those areas. As we reward some with money for the amusement they supply to the cultural masses, I think the induction of Frank Zappa in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame distinguishes the Hall as well as the inductee.

this was after he said your quote OP

“That’s a dangerous, dangerous question … Now, there are some people who would love for me to just be [politically correct] and toe the party line, which is, basically, [to say] ‘You know, working with Rick Rubin was a very enriching experience. He is truly a great mind … ‘Let me give you the f—ing truth of it. Rick Rubin showed up for 45 minutes a week. Yeah. Rick Rubin would then, during that 45 minutes, lay on a couch, have a mic brought in next to his face so he wouldn’t have to f—ing move. I swear to God. And then he would be, like, ‘Play it for me.’ The engineer would play it. And he had shades on the whole time. Never mind the fact that there is no sun in the room — it’s all dark. You just look like an asshole at that point. And he would just stroke his huge beard and try and get as much food out of it as he could. And he would go, ‘Play it again.’ And then he’d be, like, ‘Stop! Do that over.’ And he had an assistant who was seven feet tall. He had that disease where you can’t grow hair on your body, so he was just bald. He looked like Mr. Clean’s neurotic cousin. But he basically ran Rick Rubin’s life — like, he was just f—ing on it, on it, on it, on it. About half way through our precious 45 minutes, he would bring in this plate of s—. I assume it was food. It was bluish green. It smelled like someone had just plunged a f—ing toilet somewhere. And he would eat it as fast as he could — just get it in there, all over himself. Which is, when you’re working, so wonderful to look at … I will say this: I respect what Rick Rubin has done, I respect the work that he has done in the past to get to where he is now. But … this is a huge but … this is a J.Lo-sized ‘but …’ I will say this: The Rick Rubin of today is a thin, thin, thin shadow of the Rick Rubin that he was. He is overrated, he is overpaid, and I will never work with him again as long as I f—ing live.” - Corey Taylor

I’ll be the first to admit I’m a rather shy boy and since music is the most eloquent form of communication I can muster, I decided to record something for you — as sort of a “reply” to the breathtaking song on your current record. This is what I wanted so badly to tell you in person but could never quite put into words:
Everything about you is beautiful. You’re an immensely charming girl with a wonderful heart and more grace and elegance than I know how to describe. You are a true princess from a dreamy fairy tale; a modern Cinderella. I’m terribly sorry it’s taken me such a long time to reply but I figured Valentine’s Day was the perfect time to write this note to you and simply say… I was enchanted to meet you too.
Love,
Adam" - Adam Young on Taylor Swift

"They said that we were trash,
Well the name is Crass, not Clash.
They can stuff their punk credentials
Cause it's them that take the cash."

Mancs confirmed for banter lords.

Anyone got some good Morrissey quotes, there are plenty in his interviews and books

>On the doorstep [Siouxsie] asks me whether right or left would be the best direction to find a taxi, and although her best bet would be left, I suggest she turns right. It is churlish of me, but it is she who has set the pace.

Morrissey on Siouxsie Sioux

>>46906890

Diana Ross is awesome though. But she didn't write any music, her influence doen't reaaly stretch outside of soul singing. You could have used a better analogy.

When we're arguing for a "God like-figure in music", what else do you have to go by other than success and influence?

>>46906801
>>46906890
>Frank zappa was a god like figure in music
>Lou Reed was a talentless hack
Wow, how can someone be *that* deluded?
Zappa was a greasy slimeball who pioneered the college frat-bro pseudo-avantgarde that went on to influence fellow fuckwits like Mike Patton
Whereas TVU was the perfect melding of the downton Fluxus sensibilities of La Monte Young
and the rest of the Dream Theater with popular rock music, creating some strikingly beautiful and unique records that still sound good today
Not only did Reed have a knack for the melding of experimental and popular music, he was really a great lyricist and songwriter when it came to making straightforward and affecting pop music - just look at the third Velvet Underground record or Transformer
Zappa just sounds dated and cheesy

Brian Eno on the Velvet Underground & Nico:
>everyone who bought one of those 30,000 copies started a band

Christ, you people are fucking stupid

>>46906926
The point being that she's influenced pop singers for generations, directly or indirectly, yet contributed exactly jack shit to music. The amount of "influence" an artist has doesn't necessary say anything about their talent.

>>46906908
>I suggest she turns right

MOZZY! YOU FUCKING PRANKSTER!!!!!!

>>46906940

We were talking about zappa's "God like figure" against Reed the "hack". I argue Reed is more a "God like figure" because of his status as an influential musician.

>>46906957
>I argue Reed is more a "God like figure" because of his status as an influential musician.
And that's shite, because "influence" says nothing about talent. The Beatles and Led Zeppelin are influential, but so is Dr. Dre and Nirvana.

>>46906950
>Cherry-picking the chorus of a song.

>>46906950

That is a good lyric, pleb.

Any fag today would probably change it to
>And all the beautiful minorities sing,
>Something really powerful and uplifting because they are better singers than white people
>take a walk on the privileged side

"figure" says nothing about talent either, try to keep up.

That chorus inspired Stephan Jenkins to write Semi-Charmed Life. Now I'm not saying it's a bad song or anything, but fucking come on. That's what "influence" buys you.

Honestly Henry Rollins is just a bitter old cunt who can't get over the fucking over-inflated sense of self worth gained from spending a few years doing vocals for a punk band
His DJ standup routine is some of the saddest old-man bullshit I've ever seen

>>46907003
"God-like", I suppose, is in the eye of the beholder. Just bear in mind that you're basically arguing in favor of Lou Reed being "God-like" for entirely cosmetic reasons that boil down to nothing different than Beliebers pointing to Justice Beaver's album sales as proof of his status as a musician (using the term loosely).

Self Defense Family on every musician that doesn't make post-hardcore music (and a few that do)

Iggy Pop on Johnny Rotten: "I don't know Johnny Rotten but I'm sure he puts as much blood and sweat into what he does as Sigmund Freud did."

>“You Fucking People Make Me Sick” – do I gather that’s directed at the music industry?

"No! …That song began just as a series of loops and sounds and extraneous thing that were happening in the studio, and I started compiling them and making this sound collage out of them. And after awhile I realized that what I needed was a little lullaby or ditty in the middle of it. So I sat down with an acoustic guitar, and I was just sort of distractedly looking at music websites while I was playing the guitar and starting to write words. And that song came out, just as I was looking at these hipster kids on the various music websites (laughs). It’s like I was thinking about raping them and killing them, only I couldn’t figure out which one – it was sort of from the point of view of a murderer that would be stalking these fashionable youngsters."

You just destroyed any credibility you may have had. Go back to YouTube fag.

>>46906936
I agree with you but Mike Patton is way more talented than Frank Zappa could ever be and he's even said in interviews that he doesn't like Zappa that much.

>>46907131
>Go back to YouTube fag.
Lol, great defense of your mindless argument.

Mike Patton is even worse than Zappa lmao

Right, please tell me more about your American punk that never really was punk at all. If you think any of the following are punk, you don't know what punk is:

>Television
>Talking Heads
>Ramones
>Blondie

Is there a single legitimate American punk band from the 70's? I can't think of one.

>>46907174
If you think the Ramones aren't punk, YOU don't know what punk is.

lol he probably listens to Justine Beaver and Lou Reed XD

Thumbs up if you are one of the 5% of kids that listen to real music like Frank Zappa.

"Do we have any foreigners in the audience tonight? If so, please put up your hands. Wogs I mean, I’m looking at you. Where are you? I’m sorry but some fucking wog…Arab grabbed my wife’s bum, you know? Surely got to be said, yeah this is what all the fucking foreigners and wogs over here are like, just disgusting, that’s just the truth, yeah. So where are you? Well wherever you all are, I think you should all just leave. Not just leave the hall, leave our country. You fucking (indecipherable). I don’t want you here, in the room or in my country. Listen to me, man! I think we should vote for Enoch Powell. Enoch’s our man. I think Enoch’s right, I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the wogs out. Get the coons out. Keep Britain white. I used to be into dope, now I’m into racism. It’s much heavier, man. Fucking wogs, man. Fucking Saudis taking over London. Bastard wogs. Britain is becoming overcrowded and Enoch will stop it and send them all back. The black wogs and coons and Arabs and fucking Jamaicans and fucking (indecipherable) don’t belong here, we don’t want them here. This is England, this is a white country, we don’t want any black wogs and coons living here. We need to make clear to them they are not welcome. England is for white people, man. We are a white country. I don’t want fucking wogs living next to me with their standards. This is Great Britain, a white country, what is happening to us, for fuck’s sake? We need to vote for Enoch Powell, he’s a great man, speaking truth. Vote for Enoch, he’s our man, he’s on our side, he’ll look after us. I want all of you here to vote for Enoch, support him, he’s on our side. Enoch for Prime Minister! Throw the wogs out! Keep Britain white!"

The Ramones are one of the forefathers of punk

Blondie, Television, and the Talking Heads never called themselves punks are never were considered punks

But do please carry on. God knows we can never have enough smug know-nothing English provincialism in our lives.

From their third or fourth album on, fair enough. Their first two albums were punk personified, though.

It's like the Clash, really -- first two albums good, first two albums punk. Third album and those that followed, pure pop for not so now people.

At least Zappa tried exploring new territory.


The most Reed did was that shitty Machine music album, reed's lyrics are nothing special, Zappa has some legitimately funny stuff which is not something often seen in music
