Disclaimer: I do NOT like Avril Lavigne.

 

In all fairness, she's rhyming SKATER with LATER, not boy with boy.

I like the random Pop Punk fan who'll tell you that Blink and , oh, I don't know, New Found Glory are REAL Punk, yet you'll throw out names like The Sex Pistols and Ramones and they'll look at you like you told them that you killed their puppy. Stupid fucking kids today.

people laugh and act like I'm a mad man when I say The Beatles are the greatest boy band ever

That's because the Beatles is the greatest stoner rock band ever!

The Beatles aren't stoner rock...man. Stoner rock is stuff like Grateful Dead and Phish. If anything The Beatles would be acid rock.

 

Besides The Beatles had two different eras. The first era was boy band and the second era was boy band on drugs.

if you put an infinite amount of boy bands in a room with an infinite amount of drugs & an infinite amount of typewriters, you would still never get "a day in the life" or "strawberry fields forever." i'm sorry, but boy bands just aren't built that way.

 

i'd hesitate to even call the beatles any kind of drug rock (acid, stoner or otherwise), cause for every "lucy in the sky with diamonds" or "revolution 9" there's 10 or 20 "julia"s, "oh darling"s and other songs that don't sound influenced by any drugs at all.

Yeah, one of my mates is so into punk, yet didn't know who the Ramones are.

 

I also like pre-teens who wear Slipknot hoodies. The fools!

Them: 'That AWK on your shirt doesn't stand for Andrew WK does it?'

 

Me: :sigh: 'yes it does.'

 

Them: 'OMG GOD THA D00D IS THE WORST MUSICIAN EVER SO REPETITIVE AND LOOKS SO STOOPID ONSTAGE!1'

 

Me: 'He wrote an album single-handedly, plays piano and guitar, and is no more or less repetitive than any other contemporary rock artist, however whilst they all sound like eachother he sounds like himself. What music do you like?'

 

Them: 'Deftones.'

 

 

Makes me laugh everytime.

although it's a lyric in a song I have got the obligatory " Which one's Pink?"

 

and although I like the song and group, while elaving a Dave Matthews Band concert: "Man, Dave is a great songwriter to come up with (All Along the) Watchtower)". Nevermind that they dont' know that it was written by Dylan; to not know the Jimi version is inexcusable.

 

"You need to be stoned to like Phish and the Dead"... GRRRRRRRRRRRRR...

if by "sounds like himself" you mean "combines forgettable, cheesy 80s cock rock riffs with even more cheesy keyboard filler parts," then yes, i suppose he does only sound like himself.

 

not to say i don't love w.k., cause i do, but there's no originality there.

okay...I work with a girl whose boyfriend apparently has 3000 bucks worth of stereo/speakers in his car....

 

everything i've ever heard come out of that car is PURE BASS DISTORTION .... I can't hear anything besides awful distorted bass...

 

For even 1000 bucks...car speakers should not sound like that. There should be very low levels of distortion even for the very high volume bass...

 

so this is the conversation between me and her:

 

me: your boyfriend's stereo sounds like shit.

 

her: no it doesn't.

 

me: yes it does...its all distorted...

 

her: well he bought that system for 3000 dollars from a guy in Georgia that builds them so I think they are good.

 

me: if i paid 3000 dollars for a piece of dog shit and sat it in my car...would it be good just because I paid 3000 dollars for it?

 

her: .........

 

me: yeah...all I ever hear from that thing is a very hideous bass...

 

her: well that's what its supposed to do.

 

me: 3000 dollars worth of stereo equipment should pretty much produce crystal clear audio unless he has the volume turned up so high that it can deafen you after 2 minutes...

 

her: .............

 

me: If i paid that much for speakers and I got that kind of sound i'd kill the guy that sold them to me...

 

her: ...............well my boyfriend says...

 

Then I leave...completely frustrated...

Them saying "Deftones" back is pretty much all that needs to be said when it comes to Andrew. He's funny, but hardly anything original and he's essentially a well oiled gimmick machine. To compare Andrew to them or anyone else who does what they feel and manages to do it originally is laughable. And this is coming from someone who finds Andrew amusing in his own way.

 

I shall always cherish this little soundbyte though "Andrew WK is the shit because he doesn't give a fuck and tells society to go fuck themselves. He is punk." - Some poor sad soul. Last time I checked, the poor guy just wanted to get wasted.

I never understood the expensive car stereo that only plays loud bass.

 

Why is it spelled B-A-S-S if it is pronounced BASE?

Well ya see, the thing with expensive car stereo equipment is...I...don't...well I don't know really, but damn, it sure is loud isn't it?

 

I always laugh when some old cadi that looks like it's about to fall apart rolls by with it's system bumping. My car may look like shit, I may be on welfare and my kids may all have starved to death but I got some bump in this bitch.

 

Oy.

Given that you cited Silverchair as a favorite band of yours, I don't think you have any right to insult anyone's lyric writing. Daniel Johns is responsible for way more lyrical crimes against humanity than Avril Lavigne.

Interestingly enough, though, putting a thousand untrained monkeys in a room with no drugs and one typewriter can producer a better album and accompanying film than Magical Mystery Tour.

By any normal standards, Magical Mystery Tour isn't that bad an album. I mean, it sucks, but to imply that primates could do better...well, that's just unfair. "Baby You're A Rich Man" is good stuff.

the "strawberry fields forever"/"penny lane" double shot prevents MMT from being approachable by those little shit-flinging boogers.

 

however, if you give 4 monkeys a video camera, you WILL get a more interesting movie than MMT.

Well just like with everything...there's good and bad. Many guys have nice stereo systems that sound good and deliver the bass. These guys use good components, tune the system, have sound dampening with very little rattle and they do nice and clean looking installs.

 

However, there's also the idiots that throw big subwoofers and their box in the trunk on top of the trash left in the floor connect it to cheap ass Walmart amps and turn up the volume all the way and turn on the bass boost the turn the treble down and think "fuck yeah man that's loud and it makes my car vibrate that's a bad ass system". Sadly, these idiots are most common and are easily pointed out. Just look for the piece of shit cars that are rattling like they're about to fall apart and with lights that are dimming each time the bass hits.

 

 

Don't blackball a whole industry because of the idiots that are a part of it.

Hey, I like Magical Mystery Tour movie and album!

 

I had someone say to me "How can you like Prince? He's just a Michael Jackson wannabe!"

 

Later in our conversation they were talking about their love for Justin Timberlake.

 

But the stupidest thing I've ever heard anyone say was probably "The Beatles aren't that groundbreaking. I mean, they didn't do anything for rap or R & B or Hip-Hop now, did they?"

Well, technically that person is right.

 

However, it's still a stupid argument that means nothing.

I would really like you to name a few.

I can think of some horrible silverchair lyrics yes, but the good far outways the bad and if you are saying that Daniel Johns writing ability is worse than Avril's..... then you do have a bizzare taste in music.

This is a conversation I seemingly have daily with one of my friends.

 

Avril Lavinge comes on the radio - He tries to feign ignorance of my clear disgust, but eventually gives in...

 

Him: What?

Me: Turn that crap off

Him: It's not crap

Me: Yes, it is - it's three chord, commercial, over-blown, pap.

Him: Fuck off, it's not.

Me: It is

Him: Avril is punky brilliance

Me: You don't know what punk is

Him: Yea, I fucking do

Me: Punk is the Sex Pistols and The Clash

Him: Who?

Me: Exactly. This is just pop marketed as punk so that sexually insecure people like yourself can enjoy it without being labelled gay.

Him: Me gay? You like the Beach Boys or whatever they're called.

Me: So?

Him: They are gay. How come I have never heard of them if they are so good?

Me: Because you like to block your ears with crap each day thus eliminated the flow of any good music into your pores.

Him: Old means crap.

Me: Most modern day music is crap anyway.

Him: You don't like Modern Day Music because you are scared of the noise?

Me: What?

Him: You are scared of the swearing.

Me: And swearing appeals to you in music? That's pathetic

 

Eminem now is brought up in the discussion

 

Me: A fucking arsehole - cat sat on the mat - anyone can do that.

Him: You're scared.

Me: Answer me this. How many people will listened to Sum 41 and Blink 182 in 40 years time ... I'll tell you: no-one

Him: I will

Me: Hopefully you will have come to your senses and realise that you were damaging yourself listening to such pish when you were younger.

Him: They are geniuses - your music is crap

Me: Geniuses? Brian Wilson is a genius

Him: Who? Is this another one of your gay boys.

 

I look down at his tie, which is pulled down a la Avril Lavinge.

I shake my head with a mixture of disgust and pity and look out the window.
