Off Topic thread *time to say goodbye*

I'd still rather poke my eyes out than go to Oxegen but the Foo Fighters are a great band live. Then there's a few decent bands, OK stuff and dross. Other than Florence and The Machine, last years seemed like my version of hell.

Too many drunken knackers at Oxegen to make it any way enjoyable tbh.

Must say, I fail to see the buzz with this one as well. If shouting stuff is believed to be good now, God help us.

She's OK, has a few good songs but is definitely overrated.

Lady Gaga is actually a great, classically trained musician. She is way more talented than most moody, polo neck wearing indie bands! If you see her live, she is fantastic. I sound like a Lady Gaga mark, but is very talented.

Thats cos most of those Skinny Jeans bands are cack anyway!

Shes not what I'd call talented, I'd call her smart. She knows what people want and she delivers. Her songs are complete rubbish though, they're about nothing and only serve for people to dance to in rubbish nightclubs imo. Jesus like Pokerface. What in the name of god is she goin on about. She's a big publicity whore aswell. When i see things in the paper about the outrageous clothes she wore to some awards or whatever, I mean really like. I'm suprised more people cant see through her to be honest. No offence to anyone who likes her, but quite frankly I'd love to spit on her.

Did you watch the video I linked? Speechless is a very good song. She is clearly talented. She is a classically trained musician. Whether she uses that talent or not isn't important (and I think she does as her songs are above most pop music). She definitely has potential to create great music. She probably will at some stage is she gets enough power at her record label.

5ive were real men! Not like pussys like bruno mars or the script!
I like to see them rock as hard as 5ive did when they done everybody get up. :cool:

I like gaga, some of her music is catchy and musically sounds pretty listenable. For example that vid that was posted above, its actually a good song.
But i have to say when i seen that she arrived at the grammys in an egg.. and then stayed in it until she performed. It actually really annoyed me.
All i could think was she was just attention seeking. Its more like she just didnt want to have to interact with someone before the show.

I watched something on her on mtv a few months back. She taught herself piano by ear when she was like 4/5.

Do people actually prefer last years Eminem/Jay Z stuff? No wonder there are so many Thuganomics fans here! Foo Fighters would make me think about going for a one day ticket were there not so many drunken knackers.

I like jay z and eminem. Well. I like jay z and would have liked to see him live (not at oxegen mind).
I thought they went down the route of doing a few rap and hip hop artists and they backed it up by getting the best of the best at what they do.
No one in the world are bigger stars in their genres than the aforementioned.

Apart from Feile 95, I have never been to an open air concert or festival. Have no interest in them either. I find music, be it alternative, rock or house, far far better in a smaller venue.

Yeah she has a natural talent for music. But she went to New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, which is very prestigious. There's a lot more to her than pop music. She was on the rock scene in New York for a good while. She's just doing what she has to do to get fame and attention.

But as Curt Hennig said....rap is crap :pac:

I have always thought that gaga is pop music for adults.

I also get the impression that she is having a laugh with her career. Sure, she may be attention seeking, but show me a popstar who does not crave the limelight.

Plus she has poked fun at herself in the telephone video with regard to her rumoured appendage!

Small venues are great, but some artists need a big open, massive ground to play on.

Foo Fighters would be one, Bon Jovi, Metallica do amazing things in a field!

Oh yeah she is totally having a laugh.

So, who is going to get post number 10000?

If it is me, I will dwell on it while I do a worthy write up for it.

CMpunked

Of course it will be you, if someone else posts it you'll probably just delete some really old posts. :P
