Band Wank
This one was handed to me on a silver platter by a friend of mine and despite it's size, it's still bloody amusing.

The whole thing can be found here:
http://p089.ezboard.com/fkillradiofrm5.showMessage?topicID=75.topic
But here are the highlights.

LastMessiah goes onto the Kill Radio forum on the band's site and trashes them with big shiny words.

I've got to say that the hubris on this site amazes me. To actually come across celebrations of Brandon's incoherent, barely literate rants onstage and off amuses me to no end, particularly because, at the couple of unfortunate shows I caught, Brandon has amply demonstrated that he has the IQ of an artichoke.

Killradio is a joke, a sham. Are you guys all still living off mom and dad? Still riding around in Mommy's RV? Still trying to convince everyone that you're NOT anything but upper class white kids in Northridge playing at being some sort of frontline of the revolution? Still espousing the same old uninformed anti-political rhetoric? Still as dumb as rocks and getting stoned all the time?

It would appear so.

You guys are about as punk rock as Avril Lavigne.


Fans of the group are upset and fire back.

1. OK.. this might be difficult for you to comprehend, because anyone that wastes their time on a bands message board, and replying to their own message because they cant think of everything at once to say obviously wont be that smart.
Your Opinion does not matter to anyone here. its quite simple, if you dont like something, dont bother with it. The KR boys have a right to free speech, and there are many people that are more than willing to listen to what they have to say. granted you listened, and didnt like what you heard, but we dont want to hear what you have to say, unlike KR. So please, continue on with your sorry little existance, outside the fourm!
kthxbye
2.amen to that. if you don't like them, what's the point in telling their fans that?


And then it get's REALLY wanky. My two favorites so far are the bitchfight between revoltin and LastMessiah (where the both try to win by repeating the same thing over and over and thinking it'll change anyone's mind) over the financial situation of the band and its leader, and DerGerm's post about
Note: As I type this, I am watching Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure.

Wow, this pissing contest has left quite the mess on the floor! And it doesn't seem to be getting anyone anywhere. There really isn't anywhere anyone wants to take it, really. So it seems, at least to myself. Everyone is resorting to classic ad hominim (spelt wrong, forgive me, I'm not a latin language buff) arguements.

"You're stupid, here's why."

"No YOU'RE stupid!"

"Nuh-uh! I have a bigger penis, so I can't be stupid!"

And so forth.

Since it gets us nowhere, let me talk about something else. Because, as you had mentioned on more than one occasion, this IS indeed a forum for free and open debate and conversation.

Marshmellows. I love marshmellows. I like the kind of marshmellows that's misspelt and the two words are jammed together. With an E where an A ought to be. They're very fluffy and delicious, sticky and gooey and sweet. I quite anjoy them.

You know, they used to seal pharos into their sarcophaguses with marsh mallow so that they could dine on its sweet flavor as they traveled along the road into after life. I think I want to be buried with a bag of marshmellows. Oh, better yet, creamated with marshmellows. Have a hint of irony in there.

Another thing I like are pogs. What ever happened to pogs? No one ever plays them, there's no where I know of that carries them anymore. It's just not hip anymore either. I'm sure there ARE people in the world who DO play them still, the hardcore elite. But you probably have to be privleged enough to have ever learned about it before they can realize it's a game to play. Maybe I should start playing pogs again. That would be pretty cool.

So in the end, what I really mean to get at, is that OH MY GOD! I'M IN COLLEGE! Community college (trust me, it's a viable source of education, to many people knock it) to be precise. I read, I watch educational TV, and I have street smarts too. I'm all around a pretty intelligent dude. But you probably wouldn't know it from talking to me. You can't figure out what I'm about from anything I do. I have a hard time talking straight, meaning something, unless I'm in a meaningful debate and conversation. Something that doesn't resort to critisizing language, and way of typing, or way of speaking. Something that doesn't obviously have some trace of asshole ulterior motive.

In other words, I just thought I'd waste your time like you're wasting mine.



All in all, a delightful little wank.

UPDATE: As a link to fandom_wank was posted on the message board, LastMessiah felt the need to come over and comment on US. Enter more spooge.

DerGerm's post makes it all worthwhile (especially since I've never even heard of Kill Radio...wait - should I have admitted that?)

Now I'm having horrible images of the pog elite creating a new world order.

I too have never heard of them, but how non-political do you expect a band named 'Kill Radio' to get?

I think what's worse than annoying teenie posers, is their complete extreme opposite. Pretentious music fans that diss bands as soon as they become popular, and listen to music just because it's 'obscure and weird and revolutionary'. I haven't heard kill radio or whatever, but I'm very much used to this drivel. Why would you go post on a board for the BAND when you dislike them SOMUCHOMG? Just to start shit up. I bet the band mates have stolen every girlfriend this guy ever managed to have.

People like that make me wish I had a penis so I can piss on their face randomly.

My brother's like that. If you ask him if he likes whatever band, you can almost guarantee that he'll reply with "I like their early stuff," ie before they got popular. Granted, he enough maturity not to troll like this moron but the attitude is quite similar.

I'm also extremely bemused by LastMessiah's idea that you have to be born in Poverty Land in order to be politically revolutionary/have a social conscience/however you want to word it. It's possible to be a left-wing toff you know, just like it's possible to be a working-class right-winger. Our political views may be influenced by our background but they don't have to be decided by it.

Bah! I forgot that I was going to mention that. It amused me as well. Like you have to have lived in the gutter to make meaningful music, or have political views, or have any sort of animosity towards ANYTHING or else you are a rich brat.

Like as soon as you have money, you are stripped of your privilige as a human to have feelings.

But see, you missed the point entirely. This is a band that puts forth songs about having lived in the gutter, and has, in interviews, claimed that their songs exemplify exactly where they came from. Doesn't that smack of the teensiest bit of hypocrisy to you? For the record, I've always found Killradio to be amusing in this regard. It's nothing new with them.

It has nothing to do with having feelings as a human, and that's obviously not what I was addressing. It has to do with promoting a false image. I can already see the moneymen at the label saying "ahh, this will appeal directly to the disaffected youth market -- here come the profits!"

I went on their site simply because I thought it'd be hilarious to go straight to the source.

If you can't see the humor in this, well hey, that's not my problem.

Regardless, I'm glad I provided you with a least some entertainment.

LastMessiah, laughing his ass off.

Good try, but not true. Thanks for playing!

"Why would you go post on a board for the BAND when you dislike them SOMUCHOMG? Just to start shit up."

Because it's really, really funny. Come on, aren't you laughing yet?

"I bet the band mates have stolen every girlfriend this guy ever managed to have."

Uh-huh. God forbid I actually have a *viewpoint* and am able to express it, huh?

"People like that make me wish I had a penis so I can piss on their face randomly."

And people like me find it hilarious that people like you get worked up over something this inconsequential. Please continue -- you're here to amuse me, after all.

Cheers!

Why do you get the impression I'm worked up about it? I scanned your 'views' in less than 2 minutes, and then replied to this thread in 30 seconds and moved on.

The point is, you went to a forum about a band, it wasn't a general forum for discussion of your view points. This is a forum for fans of this band to come together and going in with your opinions of why they suck so much, and following the thread religiously makes you an asshat.

What's not true? There is no such thing as overly pretentious music fans? Do you live in a cave?

You felt the need to post on it, dollface. You felt the need to add your own personal witty aside.

Wait -- replace witty with "tired." THAT'S more like it!

"The point is, you went to a forum about a band, it wasn't a general forum for discussion of your view points. This is a forum for fans of this band to come together and going in with your opinions of why they suck so much, and following the thread religiously makes you an asshat."

Religiously? You mean, for like the couple of minutes I bothered with it during a single day? Or the couple of minutes I'm bothering with your blather? Damn, you've got MY number! (g)

"What's not true? There is no such thing as overly pretentious music fans? Do you live in a cave?"

Wow, just...wow. You really are thick, aren't you?

Looks like it began well in advance of my arrival. The funniest part is that this, one of the most admittedly pretensious sites around, is accusing someone ELSE of being pretentious.

Tralala.

I realize that this is a tiny wank (tiny, but especially amusing now that ye olde wanker has decided to come here to comment on our "tired" commentary), but it brought to mind a question. I was wondering if there was a law already in place concerning people who insist that those mocking their assholishness/idiocy are really just put there by -insert whatever divine beings/machinations you like- to amuse them and/or that such mocking is actually a part of their intricate-to-Dr.Evil-level plan? If not, can I propose one?

By the way, I still play pogs. Yes, I admit it. I have two huge bags full of pogs; I sometimes go down to the local elementary school and kick puerile ass with my elite slammers. I don't know of any New World Order built by pog-players, but I'll be sure to join up.
