Ian McLagan on Green Day "If I had a gun they'd all be dead... [they are] horrifyingly loud and bad"

[Guest]

Yeah, people clicking and talking about someone known bashing their favorite band. Right, why would anyone be interested in that. It's the reason people talk about Johnny Rotten every time he bashes the band. It's interesting or funny or something.

It also promotes lazy sensationalist journalism, with emphasis on buzzwords and a few "controversial" quotes (usually misquotes). News sites don't give a fuck about content anymore.

Johnny Rotten jokes got old in the 90's anyway.

Who cares if a website gets money because people are calling an old man a cunt for not liking a band of whom he's not part of the target market?

Yeah, who actually wants to be informed by journalists? More has-beens saying dumb things!

As if this type of stuff is taking away from proper journalism. It's out there if you want it. No one is forcing people to click through and read anything they consider garbage.

The more of this you support, the more it will be produced and the less you'll see of actual news.

Well that's nice and simplistic.

Capitalism really isn't much more than "keep doing what makes you money".

Capitalism really isn't much more than "keep doing what makes you money".

That still doesn't mean there aren't places out there doing proper journalism.

What Fuzz said. I get all my news from BestGore.

Who exactly is he?

Jealousy's a bitch fuck you, Ian McCunt

[PigSniffingGlue]

also had to google him, and than I saw this:

best known as a member of the English Rock bands Small Faces and Faces

lol like, Small Faces wasn't a hit, so then he tried to make it shorter and more catchy?

[WhiteTim]

I seriously doubt he got paid to do the interviews

Interviews aren't really paid for...

He was in The Small Faces and The Faces.

They changed their name from The Small Faces after Steve Marriott left and Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart joined. They're effectively a different band altogether.

oh, didn't know that. haha I was just joking, mostly because I never heard of any of those bands/people. Then again I live under a rock so...

Had no idea who he was... and quite frankly I already forget. Regardless that was a terrible opinion to vocalize, but he's not the first to say shit like that about another artist and I doubt he will be the last.

[Overjoyyed]

I really dislike that it's ok to casually wish a person or group of people are dead. It should never be (yes I know Billie did it to Steve Jobs- it was super wrong too). I never even heard of this guy. I wouldn't care less if a random guy doesn't like green day but to say he wishes they were dead is a whole different story and does grind my gears.

Like that time Billie compared Psy to herpes or said he wished Steve Jobs was dead?

Yup.

The psy comment was spot on

[Jaded in Chicago]

The Faces? Never even heard of them, so they can't have been very good.
