Strange Graham thing on Wikipedia

#

Started by Kyle Bovine (K B) in General Therapy? Topics

“Graham made a fatal mistake in 2008 by not paying the band “you’re only massive” for a gig they played with them. They then retaliated by composing a song based on his tight fisted nature. They also ape his time with Therapy? and his quite substantial Ego. Graham then began to close himself off from the world after this incident becoming more and more of a recluse. He was last seen in Eastern Tibet where he has apparently found God and is saving up to pay “you’re only massive” for their gig.”

What the fuck?

hahaha it pretty feckin funny, hats off to anyone who puts in that much effort to slag someone off. Yer one has a shit voice though, seems to have a speech impediment or something or else she is 12 and hasn’t grasped the art of speaking. Heard Teethgrinder in the mix too, nice. And they slag off Therapy? in the song which I agree with ever so slightly.

Its still better than Coldplay mind

Whatever it is, it’s pretty poor taste to use Wikipedia for your little feud/joke. It’s not the place for opinions. Or maybe someone thinks that they’re internet-cool if they publically ‘act’ a fool.

I’m not so sure if you can piggyback to success on this, but whatever works I guess..

Oh my God…

She used to like Therapy? before they went bad, not really sure what she is saying after that. Something about a career move. All in all pretty childish if you ask me, but let them have there 5 minutes.

What can I say, Waterford is an exciting place…

she says something about wanting to sound like Radiohead or The Strokes and I remember Andy saying at one point (around Shameless) that graham said that the band should try to sound a bit more like them

Go to the “history” tab at the top and look at the version before the one that’s there now.

Maybe he didn’t pay that band cos they’re shit.

“Medbh Cheasty of You’re Only Massive believes that, as long as female artists are marginalised, “we may as well claim the margins as a space, but men and women are not that different ultimately and I don’t think there is a need to separate them, just to level out the playing field.”

Glad that’s cleared that up then

Saw them a while back, their music is goddawful but I got swept away away at the gig and asked one of them Maeve I think, the older not as pretty one about Grand Theft Hopkins afterwards she sed her legal team had advised her not to speak on it but she wrote the words down on fancy paper, this is them. Not a mad Therapy? fan myself but she also said the man singing on it is what happens when you play Rust bacwards, is that from what album? Don’t think I know it.

Who she? Raw like sushi / Wear fake Gucci, don’t do hoochie / Mop tears with toilet tissue, I won’t miss you / Mop floors, cancel instores
So we showed you up at your own show / Only Massive take the crowd get them good to go / Arms folded to pure gold / Ice cold to pure heat
To the street - shake cake fruit bun / While you’re looking stunned we’re having fun / But then you don’t pay this is the cost
I’m that boss I’m that bitch / Follow you around just like an itch / A deal is a deal and the way you steal it’s
Grand Theft Hopkins

Only massive do it massively / Pacifist don’t take it passively
Give me my money / (Just give the girl her money)

I don’t want to do this and you don’t want me mad / See I used to like Therapy before they went bad / Sad to watch it become a farce / Therapy call you a careerist
Strokes / Radiohead wannabe / I’m a continue to evolve while you just revolve / Round and round and all the same / Lame / Drummer wants to take up the whole damn place / What a waste of space I won’t stand for your shit / In your forties, acting like a kid / Ignoring my messages when you’ve been on my dick
I see you from the bus you look beat / Head down on a Dublin street / Take a breath, take a rest, did I touch a nerve? / I hold you steady so you can’t swerve
Stop, breath - count to ten / Do you have to let it linger ‘cause I won’t bend? / If you got friends left, better get your men / Tell me the where, tell me the when
You never coughed up, hopped in your van and took off / Whole world will know you been a jerk off / A deal is a deal and the way you steal - it’s
Grand Theft Hopkins
