it would be awesome to get some watmm's musician-on-musician insults in here

wattum doesnt have musician-on-musician insults. it has frustrated fruityloops hobbyists trying to troll actual musicians and occasionally getting bitchslapped for it

of course there are, but they are never made in public.

Reznor on Marilyn Manson:

"he's become a dopey clown. He used to be the smartest guy in the room. Getting high deprives you of your creativity and, as a fan of his talents, I hope he gets his shit together."

Manson's response was decent too:

"I have the courage to stab people in the face. The back is for cowards who are running away. Oh, and rapists."

24. Courtney Love on Dave Grohl

“As for that drummer, well, he’s hit on me so many times. He’s just a very very conflicted guy about me, which is why he continually writes songs about me to hear he ‘hates’ me more than ‘anyone else.’ Kurt loathed HIM more than anyone else (except a journalist) … He’s just sub-mediocre kind of [guy] who does this ‘nice guy’ nonsense.”

 

OK that was awesome. I cringe every time I'm exposed to this guy and his vanilla middlebrow pop rock band for clueless teenagers, he's a disgrace to everything Nirvana represented.

 

Nirvana represented something ?

 

you trollin'?

I think that Kurt, of all people would be loath to think that they should be pigeon holed as idols or identified with some sort of cause or other. In other words no i ain't trollin', so keep on scrollin'

Stockhausen vs. The Technocrats

In November 1995, The Wire published an article titled "Advice to Clever Children". In the process of producing the interview, a package of tapes containing music from several artists, including Aphex Twin, was sent to Karlheinz Stockhausen.

Stockhausen commented:

Morrissey on Robert Smith: "A fat clown with make up weeping over a guitar."

that is amazing

  Quote

I have played over the music of that scoundrel Brahms. What a giftless bastard!

-- Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, 1886

Look I was 11 years old when Nevermind came out, that's all I have to say.

Morrissey on Robert Smith > LOL

That Richard D James vs.. Stockhausen is classic as well how could I forget that? although I didn't know about the ice cream comeback. If that's true the old man wins sorry watmm.

  Quote

I also remember hearing the BBC radio version of this and Stockhausen saying Richard used "too many ice cream harmonies" or something.

Aphex may be known for popularizing ICM but I hear he prefers the term Cowdance

Stockhausen commented:

I heard the piece Aphex Twin of Richard James carefully: I think it would be very helpful if he listens to my work "

Song of the Youth

," which is electronic music, and a young boy's voice singing with himself. Because he would then immediately stop with all these post-

African

repetitions, and he would look for changing tempi and changing rhythms, and he would not allow to repeat any rhythm if it varied to some extent and if it did not have a direction in its sequence of variations.

^[43]

Aphex Twin, a fan of Stockhausen, responded:

"I thought he should listen to a couple of tracks of mine: "

Digeridoo

", then he'd stop making abstract, random patterns you can't dance to".

^[43]

 

 

^{I also remember hearing the BBC radio version of this and Stockhausen saying Richard used "too many ice cream harmonies" or something.}

Stockhausen couldn't think of any icecream harmonies.

I find most of his music to be a product of the mid 20th century push, to divorce art from any substance or grounding and instead tether it's future to a reliance on marketing pompous sermons as the content filler for what was once the art.

actually he got further into the drummy stuff.

But whatever. i'm getting stupider thinking about this.

how about the fight betwixt our beloved Orange Dust and Mr. Aaron Funk? That got particularly nasty IIRC.

 

I want to read that! links please

I must see this.

it was a long,long time ago. i don't remember who struck first, but Aaron stopped posting here as a consequence, and I think it had a little bit to do with his insistence on not having his own forum here.

“He looks like Zorro on doughnuts.”

Still my favorite of the bunch.

considering what Reznor has become, he should've stayed on the drugs.

Glenn Gould does Stockhausen

just for clarification (since i just re-read what i wrote, and it's a bit unclear even to me)...i meant that Reznor should've stayed on the drugs.

Ha. Haven't seen that one before. There are more videos of Glenn acting as different characters. I had no idea.

Haha fuck, that was almost 10 years ago! Aaron started it, making some stupid comment about FL or something. It got pretty crazy!

A few of us from TEFOSAV got together and did a compilation of Snares ripoff stuff as a result, actually I think it was only me, OD and AronZ.

I'm glad some people rememeber this stuff. heh.

I remember that... I didn't remember who it was that snares was arguing with though... OD... that was a cool cat!

Yeah, great guy. Always super awesome to hang out with in real life too. I'm glad he's making music again!

OD's skeletones is better than any snares track
