"radiohead's lp7": countdown and anticipation thread - part iii

[thetitans2k]

It seems like it will just be easier to get it off torrents for free.

 

[BVS]

It's optional though.

It wasn't for me...

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

It seems like it will just be easier to get it off torrents for free.

IMO.. but I think this would defeat the purpose of what they are trying to do here.. disrespectful to the band ...

 

[thetitans2k]

Either way I'm paying nothing. I won't buy into it being disrespectful.

 

[Lancemc]

Either way it's still a dick move.

 

[corianderstem]

I ended up reserving a download for free. If I like the CD, I will buy the physical CD when it's released.

you'll love it

 

[mikal]

i could really care less about being respectful to the band. i like their music, but i think thom yorke is an asshole, and i don't plan on giving him any of my money.

whatever... to each their own I guess...

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

so you are saying that you have paid nothing for any of their music.

I think this will be what I do, but I'm waiting to see how the downloads work out.

 

[Zoots]

I'm bored of this album already. Maybe I'll get into it when I.. you know, get it.

 

[mikal]

i bought the bends and ok computer, and i've downloaded the rest.

What exactly makes the man an asshole?

you know I was thinking that very thing myself..

[U2Fanatic4ever]

[GibsonGirl]

What exactly makes the man an asshole?

He has a gimpy eye.

 

[mikal]

i just don't like him. every interview i've seen and read, he just comes across as an asshole.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

Any specific quotes? You know, people in the eye of the media may come off as arrogant without meaning to.

 

[mikal]

no. it's just his general demeanor.

 

[LMP]

caused by his evil eye.

 

[intedomine]

I ended up reserving a download for free. If I like the CD, I will buy the physical CD when it's released.

Same as what I'll be doing, I just hope there is a physical release that also has the bonus disc.

 

[intedomine]

i just don't like him. every interview i've seen and read, he just comes across as an asshole.

He certainly comes across as very supercillious and a little arrogant (left-wing: i'm always right brigade), and seems to think he's it and a bit (posh school, poor little rich boy syndrome?), but he's seems a very complex personality, a very intriguing individual, not as much as Moz, but still very interesting. His depression has probably shaped who he is in a big way.

 

[lazarus]

The differerence is that Morrissey's persona seems completely contrived, esp. at this point (and I love ALL the guy's music), whereas Thom seems a lot more genuine.

God forbid artists come off a bit arrogant. Compared to all the other morons populating the airwaves we could use a bit more of it.

You want to see arrogance, watch Dylan in Don't Look Back. And he was still in his early 20's. Doesn't mean he wasn't right about 99% of the stuff he was saying.

Did it ever occur to you that Yorke might think interviews are beneath him and a waste of his time?The band has made it clear they're not fond of the whole PR aspect of the music business. Or have you not seen Meeting People Is Easy?

you kind of described Noel Gallagher

now that guy is an asshole

 

[Lancemc]

Noel certainly fits the bill of being an asshole. Thom, not so much. Arrogant =/= asshole.

both Noel and Liam are assholes

and part of the most overrated band ever
