"I cringe to ever write this post, as if It needs to be said, but some people seem to not have figured out that the NME has never printed an article that doesn't take all the quotes out of context, and put some things in bold that make it seem like people are talking shit about each other!!!
So please no oasis hate mail, I really don't care...
Marketing is not evil, just trying to express some distaste for the whole shitstorm, but we are still dancing!
we are about 3 steps from WWIII, but life is too short!
George Orwell wrote an essay called "Why I write", if you are a writer or musician, I really reccomend picking it up...
my favorite quote
"no book is genuinely free from political bias. The opinion that art should have nothing to do with politics is itself a political attitude."
also this little passage from a poem he wrote as a young man...
"But girls' bellies and apricots,
Roach in a shadedstream,
Horses, ducks in flight at dawn,
All these are a dream.
It is forbidden to dream again;
We maim our joys or hide them;
Horses are made of chromium steel
And little fat men shall ride them"
see you waving from the tv!
we have a cameo in a skit!
hi mom!
luv
win"
cool thanks for sharing that.

It sounds to me that the guy from Arcade Fire meant that people get bands constantly shoved down their throats, not necessarily that U2, Oasis, or the Rolling Stones are bad bands. I agree to an extent with him. Often, when a person criticizes bands like those mentioned above or others like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, etc., people get almost offended by it. The media and many music fans continuously tell us how great those bands are and many people like them to be part of the crowd or are simply scared to not like them for fear of criticism. People fall in line with the prevailing musical opinions regarding the "classic" bands without thinking for themselves about what they truly enjoy. This can be said also of many underground or indie bands; it's not just limited to classic rock.
i dont know about that... it seems much cooler and "in" to hate oasis and u2 than to like them.

what is this supposed to mean except that you shouldnt write letters to fans on lsd?
who said they were better than the stones? and who even said pearl jam was?
They were slamming the stones. Kinda the whole point of this thread.
Pearl Jam has always had nothing but respect for the stones and those important to rock history, so the Pearl Jam to Arcade Fire reference is irrelevant.
