Mick Stingley, Low-Rent Rock Critic
Mick Stingley is a regular contributor to KNAC.com and a staff writer for Metal Edge. His work has been published in The New York Post, Men's Fitness, FHM and CLUB magazines, as well as Hustler Busty, where he was a ?friend of the features.? Most recently, he wrote the liner notes to Ministry?s new compilation, RaNtologY. His affairs are chronicled at his blog, Rash of Stabbings.
A few for you:
Are music critics "The Enemy"? Or are they all just tools of the big media machine?
I am here to tell you the truth. The Brotherhood of Evil Rock Critics is a collection of jaded, bitter, sexually frustrated pseudo-intellectual musicians and aging high school nerds who still wear thick glasses. We meet in secret once a year at SxSW and our sole purpose in life is to DESTROY ALL MUSIC. Our reach is worldwide and our powers are limitless. We broke up Van Halen. We have taken control of MTV. We invented the genre of ?New Age.? We pioneered the reality show concept. We gave Creed a record deal. We introduced Madonna to Kabbalah. We teach singers to act.
And soon -- very soon -- we will let Axl Rose release Chinese Democracy. We cannot be stopped. Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name.
