That's how I defend a lot of my music taste.

Yeah! I managed to record a bit of it using Vista Media Centre, so will try and upload somethign to youtube or something...did you see the interview with the Stooges on BBC2 afterwards? Iggy said "Paki Shop", which I'd like to think was a peep show reference, and not the racism which it obviously was...

I'm glad that wasn't just me- i thought I'd misheard his deep drawl.

"did he just say...?"

You're

If I were in a band, and we broke up or whatever, and some guy who wasn't in the band tried to hold an opinion decades later on what I and the other people who were actually in the band ought to do with our own band... Well, that guy can go fuck himself.

CRAP. zero.

What a dry-fuck you are. You could at least be funny, or something.

Man, there's no need to be personal about it.
There was a time when the Brits on this board could have a discussion without resorting to a pissing contest.

Adam had an opinion on a band, he didn't fuck your mother.
That's kerble's job.

There was also probably a time when Brits on this board could have stated their opinion and be done with it, instead of saying the same fucking thing over and over, humourlessly. This isn't the first time Adam CR has dribbled out his buttock-clenched displeasure at The Stooges' current acivities, and I find it utterly tiresome. I stand by my comment.

What is that even supposed to mean?

Forgive me, but your comment is utterly retarded. The Stooges are a going concern, aren't they? I am liberty to consider them (as a going concern) to be crappy, yes? You are at liberty to disagree, yes? You are at liberty to tell me to fuck off too if that's your poison, whatever.

This whole 'oh! don't you dare tell the band what to do, you...you bully!' thing I don't get at all. It's retarded.

Particularly from you, Steve. A person who is obviously at ease dissing bands on a regular basis, for a variety of musical and/or political reasons, often entirely subjective.

Whatever. Done here.
