Spike Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Only if it's artful simplicity, though. Not crappy Instagram photos with x's for eyes. Exactly! But I mean, I don't really think that's simple in visual terms. It's just lazy. Same with the Warning cover - there's not much to it, but due to the fact there are people on it there's still quite a lot going on visually.
Z J Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 MOUNTAINS LIVE AT WEMBLEY OH JESUS And yeah, I'm the biggest Green Day fangirl there is (within the bounds of reason at least) and even I admit that Biffy is better than Green Day even with the self-proclaimed title, you assume your opinion holds more weight .....because? There really is no way to measure what band is better. But Biffy fans seem to assume more complexity=better music, which I just don't understand. As for an opinion: I think East Jesus Nowhere is a perfectly crafted live song, with the call and responses perfectly built-in to the melody. They don't interrupt the flow of the song at all, like they do on some other songs (Cough letterbomb cough) And the explosive ending. The lyrics are so incredible I almost forget that there is a song to it But it should be appreciated a little more for its live merit, I think
Spike Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 It doesn't unless you take into account the fact that fangirls are fucking crazy about their band and almost never admit that anyone ever is even close to as good as whatever band they're obsessed with #TerribleFan
Z J Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 It doesn't unless you take into account the fact that fangirls are fucking crazy about their band and almost never admit that anyone ever is even close to as good as whatever band they're obsessed with why would I trust the opinion of someone who admits to being insane?
WhiteTim Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 why would I trust the opinion of someone who admits to being insane? Everyone is insane... not one person on earth is normal...
Spike Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Everyone is insane... not one person on earth is normal... In the words of the great Morrissey, there is no such thing in life as normal. Genius.
Guest Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 In the words of the great Morrissey, there is no such thing in life as normal. Genius. But if we go by the foremost rule of the world that Morrissey is a complete cunt and wrong about everything, everything in life must be normal. Confusing.
Spike Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 But if we go by the foremost rule of the world that Morrissey is a complete cunt and wrong about everything, everything in life must be normal. Confusing. Well you can fuck off then. Inb4 "eating meat is as bad as paedophilia."
Guest Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Well you can fuck off then. Inb4 "eating meat is as bad as paedophilia." Do you want me to get my "Book Of Dumb Shit Morrissey Has Said" off the shelf? I've been compiling it for 3 years now. Must be nearing 5,000 pages.
Spike Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Do you want me to get my "Book Of Dumb Shit Morrissey Has Said" off the shelf? I've been compiling it for 3 years now. Must be nearing 5,000 pages. Do what you want, if you've been taking the quotes at face value your argument is invalid
Guest Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Do what you want, if you've been taking the quotes at face value your argument is invalid If you're seriously defending Mr Cabbage Head I don't think we can be friends anymore
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I agree with this. Simplicity has a lot more impact if it's done well. You don't need to look further than American Idiot to see that. I absolutely love the American Idiot designs... the singles, the merch, everything is so purty. That black and red contrast is kickass.
WhiteTim Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 But if we go by the foremost rule of the world that Morrissey is a complete cunt and wrong about everything, everything in life must be normal. Confusing. Well I wasnt quoting Morrissey lol
Spike Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 If you're seriously defending Mr Cabbage Head I don't think we can be friends anymore Mr Cabbage Head?!
Guest Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Mr Cabbage Head?! I heard he got turned down for a role in a live action version of Toy Story for having the wrong shaped head.
Spike Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I heard he got turned down for a role in a live action version of Toy Story for having the wrong shaped head. I'm perfectly willing to believe that given how he was an extra in Coronation Street and the scene of him riding a bike across the screen got edited out.
Guest Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I don't get european jokes These aren't jokes. They're "Morrissey is a cunt" jokes.
Spike Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 These aren't jokes. They're "Morrissey is a cunt" jokes. Easy target. Find original material.
Guest Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Easy target. Find original material. Do you like The Smiths? Warning: The incorrect answer will result in the immediate termination of any friendship.
Spike Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Do you like The Smiths? Warning: The incorrect answer will result in the immediate termination of any friendship. I love The Smiths.
HolyHandGrenade Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Duuuuuuude, you picked like their 3 worst/weakest songs Only if you listen to it You're wrong but okay Duuuude... No Jaggy Snake? Semi-mental? JustBoy? I absolutely love the American Idiot designs... the singles, the merch, everything is so purty. That black and red contrast is kickass. I enjoy American Idiot's B-sides and rarities much more than its singles (excluding JoS) (Shoplifter, Too Much Too Soon, Favorite Son, and Governator)
