It wasn't that long ago that I got into a big argument with my grandmother when she heard me listening to Little Richard and started going on about how he had no voice and although I'm a forgiving man and she's family, them's fightin' words.

What's the biggest altercation that your love for an artist has gotten you into?

I went out with a girl and we were always arguing about music. We did like a bunch of the same stuff but there a couple of things in particular that we butted heads on big time.
1) she liked Bryan Adams. Quite often, I stated my negative opinions about him. She didn't appreciate my comments.
2) I was obsessed with this MBV bootleg at the time, and every time we got in the car there was a fight over the volume knob.
Eventually, I reluctantly took her to a Pulp gig and ended up ignoring her for the whole night, and pissed her off to the extent that she basically hated my guts and we broke up about a week later.
There's no way I could make this shit up.

I made the colossal mistake of saying 'Bob Dylan is crap' to a barmaid who wouldn't serve me for the rest of the night. DOH.

regards,

REB

Fortunately, I'm not nearly as much of an asshole about such things as I used to be so I haven't been in any serious musical altercations for several years now.

I told my metalhead brother that Slayer sucked. He ddin't speak to me for over a week. It's not that I think Slayer sucks, I actually really like them, I just wanted to piss him off.

Well, God hates them so they must be a bit sucky.

I saw this thread title, and I was like, "Andrew WK has a new album already?"
I'm sort of disappointed. Someone needs to make an album called this.

Someone = Sarah McLachlan

Huck, that was very, very funny.

Thanks, Colin, but how about a hand for B2D's wonderful riposte?

my former boss bought the last bowie best-of, and said that he liked one-half of it and thought that the rest was weird crap. i quit the next day!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 05:49 (twenty-two years ago)

another former boss brought up celine dion for some reason. he left the office, and i muttered under my breath that celine dion was complete crap, and was told by a co-worker that the boss LOVED celine dion.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 05:50 (twenty-two years ago)

i saw belinda on the news today.
wow. what a useless pile of blonde she is -
after that i'm praying harper will lead the conservatives.

― dyson (dyson), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 05:58 (twenty-two years ago)

*slowly backs out of room*

― dyson (dyson), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 06:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I think you posted that on the RIGHT thread.

haa haha¡

I read that 1st dyson post to the tune of "A Day in the Life"

My mother was really fixated on Mick Jagger being the last word in filthy, Satan-worshiping, libidinous depravity, which really used to piss me off. I mean, for chrissakes, the man's now a KNIGHT! It's not that he wasn't those things to many people's minds for a while, but I was never able to convince my mother that there were other perpetratos FAR, FAR, FAR WORSE than the comparitively estimable Sir Jagger. "MOM, GG ALLIN SHITS ON STAGE, EATS IT, ASSUALTS THE AUDIENCE, ETC!" She wasn't buyin' it. None worse than Jagger, she'd insist (and still insists). She acutely grimaces at the sight of the Stones' tongue logo, which -- of course -- prompted me (never a huge Stones fan) to buy several t-shirts with that image on it, just to ruffle her feathers.

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 15:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Sometimes, yes.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 15:41 (twenty-two years ago)

She's a Werehen.

I once drunkenly punched one of my friends in the face for calling Fishbone bland.

Zappa v. Beefheart fallouts - too numerous to mention

A girl made me miss an Autechre live PA in 1996, to this day I give her dirty looks when I see her.

Oher than that I got into a fist fight because I insisted that the beatles were the worst thing to happen to music in the 20th century, and that the Beach Boys and the VU were the most important bands of the 60's.

― The Rebukes of Hazard (mjt), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 01:25 (twenty-two years ago)

That's just because the beatles copyists were rub. by and large, while the Beach Boys and VU copyists were generally interesting...

I was deejaying at a college function many years ago, playing a freeform set that was being well received, when some dirty hippie freshman told me that my music was "bumming everyone out". Normally, I would have politely disagreed and sent him on his way, but it a beutiful day, the set was going really well, and I was drunk on whiskey, so I told him "back the fuck off now or I'll slit your fucking throat."

I am not proud of this memory.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 10:16 (twenty-two years ago)

You should be

― Dadaismus (Dada), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 10:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, DJs everywhere applaud you. You have the heart of a lion.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 11:22 (twenty-two years ago)

"back the fuck off now or I'll slit your fucking throat."

hahah this is going to be my stock response to dj requests from now on

― don, Wednesday, 17 March 2004 11:35 (twenty-two years ago)

My stock response was always "We're not playing that till later!"

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 11:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Mine was, "I'll see what I can do", with a big smile. But Colin's changed all that. Thanks, Colin.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 11:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Live to serve, dude.

This idea deserves its own thread, methinks. I'm not going to make it, but somebody ought to.

"back the fuck off now or I'll slit your fucking throat."

YEAH!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 13:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Colin's response must be celebrated more.

I refuse to pretend to like Sting, who is among my girlfriend's faves. (She's otherwise very cool and likes lots of good music, too.) She's threatened to kick my ass over this more than once, but generally just withholds sex.

When I was maybe thirteen, I was telling my 19-y.o. brother that the kids at my jr. high school were just so closed-minded you couldn't say something like "Jethro Tull sucks" without getting beat up and before I even finish my sentence he punches me hard in the stomach for even daring to say that, regardless of context. (I think before that I was actually well-disposed to liking them...without, you know, actually hearing any of their stuff or anything like that.)
