Bitch Lafon Retarded?

Post by AliceManson »

After a week of ranting he doesn't understand Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin he drools this drivel on facebook.

Three other things I’ve learned on social media
1. If you love Bon Jovi and have supported them throughout their career. You are a poseur and have no credibility.
2. If you think POISON is far superior to Nirvana. You are a poseur and have no credibility.
3. If you think SAMMY HAGAR VAN HALEN is far superior to the Dave era. You are a poseur and have no credibility.
One thing is clear, at least, poseur or not - I got to rock out for the last 45 years… #love #music
I shall always love Bon Jovi, Poison and Van Halen.

What doesn’t he understand about Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd? I’m honestly asking, I only have a surface knowledge of the guy.

He’s not wrong on points #1, #2 and #3. Those are the prevailing attitudes amongst rock fans and the public in general. Just this week people were calling Van Hagar soccer mom rock on here.

All I remember him from was he used to be on that annoying KISS dork podcast with those other losers.

I can say the same about Riki Rachtman, Keith Roth, Jim Florentine and Don Jamieson. #totalposers #hacks #whores #trendfollowingdlisters

Seems like a Rock geek that got some notoriety. Good for him. Is he as bad as Eddie Trunk?

Unlike Eddie Trunk, Mitch doesn’t claim everyone to be his longtime friend from back in the day.

Mitch is a goof. A fan boy that often wears the t-shirt of the artist/band he's interviewing. He shouldn't be taken even the slightest bit seriously by anybody in regard to music.

It's comical to see Lafon doesn't understand that while he personally may prefer something, that doesn't make it "better". Only a fucking clown would say that Poison is "far superior" to Nirvana with a straight face. People in the business probably laugh at Mitch when he leaves the room.

Say what you will about Eddie Trunk, but he has a depth of knowledge and understanding of the music industry that Mitch boy could never dare to dream about and he would never say anything so utterly stupid.

Yes. He dared to interview Blobster when nobody else would.

Is that anymore clownish than all of you indie, hipster goofs on here saying that the New York Dolls were better than KISS or that those clown shoes snowflakes in Hanoi were better than all of the clown bands in Hollywood in the 80s?

What made Nirvana so great? They were my least favorite 90s band. If I had to place them, they’d be dead last. They were hamburgers for the apocalypse. STP, Pearl Jam, AIC, Soundgarden, Primus, King’s X were all way better bands than Nirvana. F*cking Green Day were better than Nirvana.

Kurt and Krist could barely play so they had that in common with Poison. Kurt could barely sing. Both bands knew how to write catchy, pop songs that appealed to the masses. It’s funny that Nirvana fans think they were so edgy when they had MTV force feeding them that shit just as much as MTV force fed us Poison and Skid Row.

Ask yourself this, would a 1/3 of Nirvana’s fans even know or care about them had they not been MTV’s darlings in 1992? No, the public at large wouldn’t have given two f*cks.

Eddie just staged an anniversary show where all of the following people showed up and performed for free just to honor him:

Alice Cooper
Ace Frehley
Sammy Hagar
Michael Anthony
Geezer Butler
Stephen Pearcy
Kevin Cronin
Sebastian Bach
Lita Ford
Pat Travers
Jessie James Dupree
Brad Gillis
Robert Mason
Dave Ellefson

Some of you are so completely and utterly fucking dumb, it's no wonder you vote for Trump.

You didn’t answer the question. What did make them so great? I didn’t mind some of the songs but I never understood the appeal other than Kurt wrote some phat, catchy, memorable hooks. Then again, so did Bert and CC. So there is one thing they have in common.u

You think Eddie Fucking Trunk has the budget to pay all those guys their twenty grand appearance fees? Clueless! He ain’t paying them jack.

Yeah Ed is a blowhard and spends way too much time name dropping, but you can’t deny all those guys like him and are willing to do shit for free to keep him on side. Probably because decades ago there used to be dozens of major rock radio guys and they had to keep them ALL on side with free shit constantly. Pretty easy now there’s only one fucking rock radio guy. Which is pretty sad when you think about it.

I'll answer the obvious: brilliant songwriting, brilliant live performances, brilliant albums. And a paradigm shift in popular music world-wide spear-headed by Nirvana. And of course huge sales. And you have a Poison comparison? Hahaha

If I have to explain it to you, you're not gonna get it anyhow.

If you think Eddie Trunk has THAT much influence, you're way overstating things. He's made a great career for himself though, one we'd probably all like to have.

Eddie takes a lot of slack around here, but if you actually listen to his show he's very knowledgeable and level headed about the workings of the industry and it's pretty interesting to hear his take on things.

The feeling is mutual.

Playing their instruments like shit, being pretty terrible live, playing rudimentary pop music, all the teeny bopper girls loved them, dressing up like women while being darlings on MTV…even more things that Nirvana and Poison have in common.

Oh c'mon, Ed's "knowledge" of the industry is like a 4th grade report being shouted into a mic by an angry man. "In the concert business, they have these things called tickets. The public buys them, and what they do, is they get you a seat at the concert. If you add up all these, plus some merchandise, beer, parking, and concessions, you get enough money to pay the artist." :roll:

You must never listen to his show...and you're probably deeply offended that he doesn't support that shit show that Kiss turned into.

Say what you want, but Eddie's KISS opinions are spot the fuck on.

Now go cry yourself to sleep Kisstard.
