Activity: Bands publicly slagging off other bands

Provided it isn't some sort of East/West Gangsta battle or Nickelback/Similar-to-Nickelback battle, I think it's good when someone calls crap on another band. So long as it isn't only reactionary or self-agrandizing, I'm all for public cunt/dick-dom.

David Allen of (réunionites) Gang of Four wrote:I'm talking about the new bands. I mean, what on earth are Bloc Party up to? Franz Ferdinand? All of these bands. They've borrowed our sound but they have not gone anywhere near our sociological lyrics. It's hard to describe what we do. I'm trying to avoid the word "political" because we're just not. We've been painted as a political band, we've been painted as a Marxist band. We're usually asked those questions by people who don't understand Marx whatsoever. We've taken to throwing that back in their faces a bit, "Well, what does Marx mean to you?" and they stare at you. (laughs)

. . . It may seem unfair, but I'm really dismissive of bands like Bloc Party and Franz Ferdinand. They're just out to be on MTV and sell millions of records. I'm not saying that just because they've been aligned with us in the press musically, I'm just not interested in bands that do that. I don't care two hoots about Smashing Pumpkins selling millions of records. Billy didn't speak to me. Kurt Cobain did, so I loved the fact that Kurt was selling millions of albums.
