| ________________________________ [May 25,2012 6:50pm - KEVORD ""] I saw that buttdart yesterday. |
| __________________________________ [May 25,2012 8:13pm - chriskar ""] this is easily the biggest pile of bullshit in one article ever written. Even the picture is laughable, Kim would never be at the front of the stage...she only hangs out in the back so she can quietly judge the bands LITERALLY behind their backs as they play.... LOL. |
| ______________________________________ [May 25,2012 8:24pm - the_reverend ""] I got this article sent to me a ton of times. |
| ______________________________ [May 25,2012 8:36pm - Lamp ""] MUSIC is what makes a person someone I can like, totally relate to, bro. |
| _________________________________________ [May 26,2012 12:04am - DestroyYouAlot ""] Can't she just write about how cool and connected she is without trying to dress it up like it's journalism? "I'm Kim Kelly and I Know Bands" would be a workable title for any one of her interchangeable puff pieces. |
| _____________________________________ [May 26,2012 12:28am - xgodzillax ""] her articles all should just read like this: "My name is Kim Kelly, I own Graveland's In the Glare of Burning Churches on blood-red wax (a limited edition of 666). therefore I think I am better than you. My list of names to drop reads like a Steven King novel, worship my tard hand" |
| __________________________________ [May 26,2012 2:16am - chriskar ""] this thread is lol. |
| ______________________________________ [May 26,2012 2:51am - the_reverend ""] I chuckled about the title. |
| ________________________________ [May 26,2012 9:09am - KEVORD ""] When she started listing off her friends and their occupations I had to skip to the next paragraph. Just a terrible writer. In the year 2012 do we really need to prove that people who listen to metal have jobs? She obviously likes to think she's part of some special minority group that she has to defend to the outside world. |
| ________________________________ [May 26,2012 9:19am - KEVORD ""] I just openned up the MDF program I got yesterday and guess who wrote the forward. UGGGGGHHHHH!!! Stop calling metal fans heshers then getting mad about metal stereotypes in articles. |
| __________________________________ [May 26,2012 9:55am - posbleak ""] Is she in a band or is she just a merch girl? Because talking about "the bands she tours with" is kinda misleading |

| ____________________________________ [May 26,2012 11:33am - Czarnobog ""] man, i really wanted to dislike robin williams based on some of her articles. met her in february and was expecting a bunch of name dropping and record-referencing and stuck up fake cool. but honestly, she was actually just kinda normal. and really nice. even when drunk OP kept trying to hold her gimpy hand and hi-five her all night she took it in stride and thought it was funny. confused by the whole situation. |
| ____________________________________ [May 26,2012 11:33am - Czarnobog ""] the npr thing was awful though. |

You gotta remember this is the same person that wrote a big rant on how it's no big deal just because chicks play in metal bands, then she interviews Liz Buckingham and only asks questions about being a chick in a metal band. I'm in no position to critique her writing though, as mine is total ass. I just thought that whole women in metal thing was a bit funny. |
| ________________________________ [May 26,2012 2:30pm - KEVORD ""] She also gets mad when people portray female metal fans as sexual objects but brags about going to strip clubs with bands on Twitter. She's just idiot. |
| ____________________________________ [May 26,2012 9:20pm - Kim Kelly ""] You idiots still have nothing better to do? You're still offended that someone with a vagina might like the same bands you do? Or that people are interested in what I have to say and write, while no one cares about your stupid site. And Reverend, I thought you assured me there would be no more posts with my name in them on your stupid site full of teenage morons? |

The sport is violent and fucking chaotic. The only other metalheads I knew growing up were on my lacrosse team. Stupid lefty sports hating fucktard. |

| __________________________________ [May 29,2012 10:57am - RustyPS ""] That article was annoying. Robin Williams is to "metal journalism" as Rick Reilly is to "sports journalism," all fluff, no substance. |
| ______________________________ [May 29,2012 4:56pm - BSV ""] I like the part how Black Tusk has common man jobs, the difference is that they're well read, terribly. Most bands listed dont even tour henceforth can afford to keep said fancy job. Next time focus on the fact that all musicians are classic venture capitalists and small business owners; keep fluff out of metal and keep the interest of the people as staple on NPR, as opposed to this inside track nonsense. |
