xilddx Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Some of them are funny, some are f***ing harsh, especially the one about Eric Clapton, amusing nonetheless. http://flavorwire.com/200333/the-30-harshest-musician-on-musician-insults-in-history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icastle Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Hmm. Some of them sound remarkably like people with greenhouses throwing stones. My personal favourite is "We split for musical differences, I'm musical and they're just..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I've never heard of most of the folks mentioned in there, but I'm sure that the sarcastic venom was worthy of note. Jonathan Swift had a better pen, though (imho...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I don't know who Mark E Smith is but he seems to have the measure of Mumford and Sons. What a sh*t band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 My personal favourite from that collection is: [color=#666666][font=CharisSILRegular, Georgia, serif][size=4] [b]3.

GuitarTart Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 John Lennon was once asked if he thought Ringo was the best drummer in the world. His reply -- He's not even the best drummer in the Beatles. Myk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Some of these are great! I'm an Elvis Costello fan but this cracked me up: [b]28.

kevin_lindsay Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 My favourite is Noel Gallagher on Jack White - "he's like Zorro on doughnuts"!!!! Hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I basically laughed at all of them minus the Clapton one which was incredibly close to the bone and too vitriolic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyKnees Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Cobain had Guns and Roses about right...the nadir of bad hair metal. I like the Wayne Coyne quote too, Arcade fire seem like the most pretentious, humourless band ever - I heard one of their albums once, every track sounded the same. Good old Mark Smith though... hahahahahahaha Edited June 20, 2013 by JellyKnees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyfisher Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 All very bitchy except, perhaps, this one: [b]7. Elton John on Madonna[/b] “Anyone who lip-synchs in public on stage when you pay £75 to see them should be shot.” OK, it's having a specific dig at Madge, but I agree with the general principle.

An open letter was in the Melody Maker [/quote] AN OPENED LETTUCE TO SODD RUNTLESTUNTLE (from dr winston o'boogie) Couldn't resist adding a few "islands of truth" of my own, in answer to Turd Runtgreen's howl of hate (pain.) Dear Todd, I like you, and some of your work, including "I Saw The Light", which is not unlike "There's A Place" (Beatles), melody wise. 1) I have never claimed to be a revolutionary. But I am allowed to sing about anything I want! Right? 2) I never hit a waitress in the Troubador, I did act like an ***, I was too drunk. So shoot me! 3) I guess we're all looking for attention Rodd, do you really think I don't know how to get it, without "revolution?" I could dye my hair green and pink for a start! 4) I don't represent anyone but my SELF. It sounds like I represented something to you, or you wouldn't be so violent towards me. (Your dad perhaps?) 5) Yes Dodd, violence comes in mysterious ways it's wonders to perform, including verbal. But you'd know that kind of mind game, wouldn't you? Of course you would. 6) So the Nazz use to do "like heavy rock" then SUDDENLY a "light pretty ballad". How original! 7) Which gets me to the Beatles, "who had no other style than being the Beatles"!! That covers a lot of style man, including your own, TO DATE... Yes Godd, the one thing those Beatles did was to affect PEOPLES' MINDS. Maybe you need another fix? Somebody played me your rock and roll pussy song, but I never noticed anything. i think that the real reason you're mad at me is cause I didn't know who you were at the Rainbow (L.A.) Remember that time you came in with Wolfman Jack? When I found out later, I was cursing cause I wanted to tell you how good you were. (I'd heard you on the radio.) Anyway, However much you hurt me darling; I'll always love you, J. L. 30th Sept. 1974 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oggiesnr Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 The two (deceased) protaganists had better stay un-named but I heard A refer to former bandmate B as "a bastard who's mother was into bestiality" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Most of that is very funny, but Trent Reznor claiming that Marilyn Manson will 'cross any line of decency' must've forgotten that he was famous for the line 'I want to #### you like an animal'.
