Wall of Mouths

Hey buzz, welcome! Glad you like the site!

Oh, and what’s wrong with Pop ?

I asked you first :)

Well that certainly wasn’t the British charts as far as I know, the shit that gets to the top of the charts is unbelivable.

Sorry everyone I didn’t mean to start an argument. What I meant by ‘pop’ was the manufactured shite that big fat corporate pigs throw together and call them ‘bands’.

Fuck the charts !!!
If T? or any band I like to listen to are listed in the charts, I don’t care. If I like the music, I listen to it. It’s so ridiculous to say that if a certain song has quite some commercial success, you should throw it away. Oh it’s commercial, I don’t listen to it, let’s be alternative … well fuck that attitude.
Of course most of the charts are filled with shit, but don’t judge a band or song based on a position in the charts.

Well, Buzzweasel, I’ve just been reading your ramblings about Mel C on your site, and it really pissed me off. Reason: 99% of your rambling about her is about her looks! First of all: she’s not overweight, she’s just not as skinny as the rest of the women you see on MTV. But even if she were overweight, who cares? That’s completely besides the point! And so what if she’s got many lesbian fans? Is that some kind of proof that she’s bad? Have you got some sort of problems with homosexuals, or what?

Now it’s sounds as if I’m a big fan of Mel C. I’m not. Had your critisism been about her music I wouldn’t be writing this. I probably hate Britney, A 1, Steps etc just as much as you do. But one thing I really hate with the plastic teen-pop industry is the fixation on how the artists look. Another thing I that annoys me is that women musicians often get judged by their looks, and men get respected for their music irrespective of their looks. I’m pretty sure that Andy’s body mass index is much higher than Mel C’s, but you haven’t mentioned anything about that on your homepage!

If you judge an artist from his/her looks and not from the music, you’re not much better than those 12-year old girls who have pictures of BSB over their bed because they’re ‘soooooo cute.’

Hey InnocentX, I’m with you man… I don’t give a f*ck about charts either. What I do hate is when bands choose for the money, instead of the music. This is often linked with a poppier sound. A band like Krezip, for instance, definately went for the money, which resulted in a bad, bad album. Therapy? on the other hand, choose for the music, since they don’t give a damn about charts either. This makes T? a unique band, with it’s own unique sound. I haven’t heard anything like their music yet, which can’t be said about other bands…

you stupid idiots you are so dumb like shit
what does popularity have to do with the quality of art you dumb dicks
most good bands are really popular and most shitty bands not and thats fair
if you know what i mean
‘fuck charts’ and ‘t? are pop’ who cares you bloody apes

Cheers!

yep,
what happens a lot is that bands become bigger and bigger all the time, they become rock ‘n roll stars. Usually the quality of the music suffers from that. Therapy? had a deal with that too, that’s why I respect them so much. In my eyes they’re the biggest rock ‘n roll band ever because they have stepped back from the temptation to become rock stars. Hip Hip Hooray, ‘cause most big bands just bore me. And often it is such a loss. And the last thing I need is some rock star bullshit…right?

Pop = populair; So the music is popular to ‘many’ people. This means they can be seen on TV, in magazines etc… on a ‘regular’ bases.
Good = something YOU like.

So something populair does NOT mean it is supposed to be good (to you).
Secondly you can not rate music in a way that it becomes measurable.
It is hard to for yourself, but even worse when you want to compare your views with others.

Totally agree with you opal mantra. The thing is that most bands change their sound in order to become more popular. And this is when I start to dislike a band, when they choose for the money instead of the fans and/or music. But I also like popular bands like 3 Doors Down, Bush, Foo Fighters, and so on, but these bands were already making the same sort of music before they became more popular (although FF sounds a bit poppier now).
Not only do bands change their sound, with it they often change their attitude, which is what we call ‘rockstar bullshit’. This is obviously not the case with T?, since I don’t know any bands as big as T? that is so close to its fans. Also a band like 3 Doors Down, they are already pretty popular in Holland, but yet they chose to play in a small venue (013, small venue, about 350 people), which is a thing I can appreciate. The gig is much more ‘intimate’, a band is much closer to its fans this way.
Sounds to me you’re only saying this shit to provoke people, johnnyboy. I do believe in freedom of opinion, but not in the way you try to show your opinion. But I won’t descend to your level, it’s not worth it…
