| ___________________________________ [Aug 2,2009 10:15am - demondave ""] How is it a false story? The article you posted didn't seem to really change anything, it just said over and over that it's no big deal. It even quoted an anonymous poster's comment. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 2,2009 10:20am - Lamp ""] Never heard of this label. |
| _________________________________________________ [Aug 2,2009 11:00am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] Lamp said:Never heard of this label. you mean the label the sex pistols sang about on "nevermind the bollocks"? fake punk rocker is fake |
| _________________________________________ [Aug 2,2009 11:56am - BoarcorpseJimbo ""] right |
| _________________________________________ [Aug 2,2009 12:21pm - Conservationist ""] Most punkers I know consider the Sex Pistols fake punk. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 2,2009 12:26pm - the_rabbi ""] ?? really? (Unless by "fake" you're referring to the fact that they didn't really have anything to do with the music they played.. which we will ignore) cause i'd always heard people refer to them, the ramones, the new york dolls, the damned, joy division, and the Clash as ones that paved the way. While they don't sound like "modern punk" they still did help make it... right? |

While they don't sound like "modern punk" they still did help make it... right? They're to punk what AC/DC is to heavy metal, so they did influence it but a lot of people want to get away from that axis of the genre's sound. I used to own "Never Mind..." but let it pass on into the aether after getting bored with it a few weeks later. |

| ______________________________ [Aug 2,2009 11:33pm - Lamp ""] Looking at that list I don't see a single band that I like. I don't know some of the names but I'd say I know more than half of them and they give me the shits. |

If yes then wow, way to kill of the last remnants of your dying industry, major labels! Did it ever occur to top execs that the people shopping at indie stores are probably more interested in the music scene and supporting the sale of music in the long run? I guess we knew all along that big business was all about numbers, but way to rub it in everyone's face. :middlefinger: |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 4,2009 3:04pm - arilliusbm ""] What about that BU student that's getting sued for millions of dollars for downloading off of Kazaa? They're trying to find any excuse they can possible to justify the lack of sales and dictate who should buy their music. Granted, most people DL stuff off of the internet or iTunes these days, but still. Music is an art form, and sadly, the music that is popular today is absolute crap and appeals to an audience of 15 year olds, or washed up Kevin Millar worshiping sweatpants wearing 32 year old women (only nickelback) - the prime suspects in downloading music these days. |
