Rewind with Iann Robinson, 6/3/04 - A little VR mention

[jarmo]

And if any of you want to delete this, Dave specifically asked why no there were no replies and i am answering him. If you think that my post is "off topic", then so is his question.
 

Yeah, we all know your obsession with Dave.  



All I know about that Iann guy is that he was on some Nirvana special and he was saying his generation needed a voice and that voice was Kurt Cobain. I think he also said there was no interesting music in 1991 before "Nevermind" came along.....

That guy called Alice In Chains songs lame so that automatically puts his musical credibility in the negatives.

Godsmack are a silly bunch, especially Sully Erna, that guy has a Napoleon Complex like I've never seen. He actually takes what he does seriously, what a joke. I'll grab some two bit singer from up north and have him do lame Alice In Chains type songs, it's not that hard.


He didn't say AIC songs were lame, just that Godsmack are doing lame AIC sounding songs...


/jarmo

This means exactly what it says. The scentence "Bob is doing lame AIC type songs" means just that....that Bob is doing AIC-type songs, which are lame.
This is different from saying that Bob is doing lame  AIC sounding songs.

I'm not sure what he meant to say but that sentence definitely does not mean that Godsmack is doing a lame job at perfroming AIC songs.

Nice and obvious eh?

[Booker Floyd]

Nice and obvious eh?

No..

The adjective "lame" is describing Godsmacks "AIC sounding" songs...Not AICs.  So the context implies that theyre lame because theyre derivitive - not because AIC mad "lame-sounding" songs.  Maybe the transcriber should have put a comma there to help people out.

The guy never said "AIC sounding". Lame could equally describe AIC's type of songs. Any english professors here? Haha just kidding...I'm not going to argue about this...I'm just  going to go listen to some AIC

The guy knows his way around a good sound bite, so apparently he doesn't have to provide reasons for all his opinions.  To me, he's just another one of those "hippier-than-thou" metal fans who claim that Metallica sold out after the Black Album.  Who cares what this geek has to say about the Velvets?

They did sell out after the black album, DUH

Yeah after Justice for all they sold out. And if you listen to interviews about St Anger they sold out any little bit of anything they had left.

Talking

Wow, I'm amazed to hear that coming from a GN'R fan.
Most GN'R fans I know are pretty broad-minded when it comes to musical styles and tastes.

I'm a big Metallica fan, I love them just as much as I love GN'R, and while I don't argue that Metallica definitely changed their style; exploring different musical ground is hardly what I call "selling out".

I suppose next you'll be saying GN'R sold out on the UYI albums, or that Axl is selling out because he wants GN'R to remain modern...

who gives a bucket of goat piss about what this bald headed fat goofy poser metal loser thinks?

his opinion dont mean shit! this guy is a total fuckin cock

[D]

Could it be as simple as the guy just doesn't like VR?  

Right...thats evident.  Now what discussion do you expect?  

I wonder why he dislikes them so much, but with no reason given, what do you expect?

id say personally he's a bitter loser no talent musician that couldnt hack it so he hates on others

theres a saying

there are people who canplay they are musicians and people who cant play they are called critics and have to write about other peoples talents which they dont possess themselves and have no expertise to judge someones talent on

13. Who's the most overrated band today and why?

---

I'd like to cut the hands off of everybody in Velvet Revolver to make sure they never make music again, ever.

Really? Interesting,I'd like to cut his lips and tounge out so he could never make words again.I mean this guy doesn't like anything or anybody.This guys opion about VR really doesn't matter to me anyway I'm just tired of hearing this guy bash everyone I'd like to hear him try to make a record that is half as good as Contraband or any Godsmack record,I bet he couldn't do it!

This is the same douche ranting about afd and saying how he loved gnr and almost came in his pants at the vmas..
Honestly he's a big fat wanna be..

Yeah he is one of those kind of people I totalydo not like.When you are in the same room as him or same event his is he will kiss your ass but as soon as you are gone time to bash

[mikegiuliana]

He reminds me of some real uncool kid that just wants to be metal so bad, but instead is just a fat bald wanna be and needs to knock others to feel good.. His opinion means nothing to me...When he;s around the stars he's like a child all star strcuk but behind their backs he's a shitty friend
