I fucking love Godspeed
But I don't think Efrim could possibly fit this bill more perfectly.

1. The Velvet Underground; Lou is a dick.
2. Pink Floyd; Roger is a cunt.
3. The Flaming Lips; Wayne is a douche.
4. Mercury Rev; Jonathan is a sleazeball.
5. The Grateful Dead; Bobby is a weirdo.
Luis Davis
Do Mae Say Think. I've never seen an interview or anything, but some of them seem unlikeable
What's wrong with Efrim, besides the political shit
Definitely the Flaming Lips
Austin Gonzalez
i will never understand why people think that about Lou. he just liked to mess people up.
Joshua Jones
>What's wrong with Efrim, besides the political shit
He's a hypocrite, for one thing. I remember Radiohead asked them if they'd like to tour with them when they did Kid A (when Sigur Ros opened for them instead), and Efrim wrote this long ass stupid rant about how bullshit Radiohead was and how they were "hypocrites" for being anti-corporate and still playing large arenas and being signed to a major label etc.
And then GYBE went and opened for NIN on tour in giant corporate arenas, lol
He's just a loudmouth dickhead in general, he's stuck alllllll the way up his own asshole. He seems to love being a contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian, and that's one of the most annoying things to me for whatever reason.
Thomas Phillips
Wayne Coyne has been such a giant disappointment of a human being this whole decade.
Like, I want to know really how the rest of the Flaming Lips feel about being subjected to having to collaborate with Wayne's newest popstar fuckbuddy (Miley, Kesha...)
[ps: what has jonathan from mercury rev done]
Christian Perry
Did that leak of all lights fucked turn out to be real?
James Martin
From when? If it's from like a couple years ago you're talking about, I'm pretty sure it was not...
I think maybe one song may have made its way to youtube though? I did forget about that, I think it was confirmed somebody did have the tape though.
Jordan Bailey
Lol he's had kids since then
Watch "Come Worry with Us!", he bitches about money nonstop in it, and all the band members in A Silver Mt. Zion have to chip in for his kid's nanny.
Angel Williams
oh boy, that sounds like it has to be entertaining one way or another lol. thanks for the heads up, I'll check it out tonight here in a bit.
Carson Nelson
I do like Black Flag but how could one man become such an ass and a hypocrite is beyond me.
Matthew Myers
how is wayne a dick? guy seems incredibly nice.
Elijah Brown
Who wants to break it to him?
Benjamin Parker
That's not Greg Ginn.
Wyatt Baker
just watched the trailer btw, man that's some heavy shit actually.
(but also, lol'd hard @ his kid's full name. "Steamtrain" lmao)
Juan Gutierrez
that file name though fucking lol
Asher Mitchell
c-can you? be gentle anonkun
Jason Hernandez
Not sure, I just downloaded off of the archive recently, and the track lists are the same and it sounds just about how I'd think old GYBE to sound.
Angel White
Just off the top of my head...
Cheated on his wife, then openly mocked/taunted and generally trolled her very publicly about it on twitter for a while and such
forced collabs with people like Kesha and Miley Cyrus on the rest of the band as mentioned before, which their drummer actually recently said was a factor in his leaving the band (or whatever that ended up being)
Used nude footage of Erykah Badu in a music video they made together without her permission and after he signed an agreement that she would not appear nude in the video, he put it altogether unedited and uploaded it anyway, and then trolled HER about it on facebook (the video was later taken down and replaced by an identical video where Erykah was replaced by actual succubus Amanda Palmer)
and that's just off the top of my head.
Gabriel Bennett
Chvrches, I don"t really like Lauren but hey if the music is good
Noah Myers
o shit, I may have missed it then
LET ME CHECK!
Dominic Evans
alright I might be taking the b8 here, but I literally don't see how one could actively have an issue with Lauren Mayberry
like, she's about as inoffensive a person as I can imagine.
Leo Ortiz
aaaand archive's down of course xd
Colton Bailey
She keeps writing obnoxious stuff for all sort of blogs about how "mysogynist" the fans of indie music are on the internet.
She has nothing interesting to say, she isn't capable of writing in an interesting way, but that isn't stopping her.
SPEAKING OF WHICH...
Brandon Bell
Goddammit, yep I fell for it hook line and sinker. xd
Evan Diaz
I think Diiv and The Garden have some pretty good songs but they also all have the most punchable faces of all time.
Jordan Stewart
Also what's his name from DIIV is a total smackfiend
But he also got to bang Sky Ferreira, so he's got that going for him, which is nice.
Carson Sanchez
Surfer Blood is pretty enjoyable as a sort of surf rock flavored power pop thing
But then there's the whole thing with the singer literally being a woman-beater
Sad though about their guitarist recently :/
Jason Morales
this is how I feel about almost any artist from LA. they are all usually pretty talented, but something about all of them seems pretentious and they all dress like white trash despite being trustfund babies
Caleb Garcia
He got addicted to heroin cause he thought it'd be cool. His interviews are the most inane bullshit. I can't imagine being the dude's friend, holding a conversation with him seems impossible he's so far up his own ass.
Angel Watson
The textbook exemple of a musician you should not pay any attention to outside of his music.
Colton Brown
Hi I'm the guy who actually posted the thing, and it's literally just the feminism, except for that she's alright I guess
And btw if this was bait I would've said I hate Chvrches :^)
Brody Miller
Yeah, that's a stupid fucking reason. You're stupid and should feel bad about yourself as a person for being so stupid.
Jeremiah Green
>He got addicted to heroin cause he thought it'd be cool
I don't know if he literally said this but I have absolutely no problem believing he did
Sounds completely plausible.
Leo Watson
Now THAT is b8
Josiah Miller
Allelujah won the Polaris Prize and he just used it as an excuse to write up a bitchy rant about sponsorships for his acceptance speech when he could have instead stuck to his principles and withdraw from the list outright to give a musician who could have actually benefited from the acclaim/money the chance to win.
Efrin has the political aptitude of a typical tryhard middle schooler, he constantly makes vague impractical complaints about corporations and governments yet Godspeed/Zion's albums always have tags indicating he gladly accepts grant money from the people he claims he eespuses. His talent as a musician is godly but I'd never want to casually hang out with the guy.
James Cook
Apparently UMO had a polygamist relationship with his wife and an 18 year girl, so that weirded me out.
Whirr are regularly assholes
Ariel Pink says some weird/offensive things
Matthew Ward
Forgot about that shitshow, which, jesus fucking christ.
Daniel Sanders
y not
Brayden Watson
Gotta be The Smiths/Morrissey.
James Thompson
>Apparently UMO had a polygamist relationship with his wife and an 18 year girl, so that weirded me out.
Ugh dude that is fucking weird.
Also yeah Ariel Pink has showed up on a bunch of Fox News shows.
Also fun fact: I was at the front of the stage at a show they did in Chicago at the Metro after Before Today came out, and he jumped down and tongue kissed me by surprise (I'm a dude lol) and my two lady friends and jumped back on stage, all in midsong
I got high fives walking back to our car after it ended, lol.
Ethan Thomas
Heh, yeah, he's just kind of a given, he's like the free space on the bingo card of shitty people in good bands.
Kevin Rodriguez
Because you might expect him to be interesting or clever in some way yet all he does is spout some college-freshman levels of social commentary and engagement, all the time, as if it was some otherworldly wisdom.
Not to mention the multiple layers of hypocrisy (keeps going on about how important it is for an artist to keep in touch with his audience, yet keeps deluding himself believing he is some sort of model for blacks while a majority of his audience is made of white college kids ; won't shut up about evil corporate circles and the importance of staying independant and then will model for some clothing brands ; won't shut up about racism but is absolutely fine shitting all over white people because blacks can't be racist)
Matthew Peterson
thats rad dude
also strange that he's weird about homosexuals and would tongue kiss you lol
here's the article about UMO
pitchfork.com
Ayden Murphy
As far as I can tell, Jonathan is a very sweet man. At least now anyway.
Ayden Martinez
iceage seem like really annoying and pretentious edgy people to be around but i like their music
Joseph Roberts
>Ariel Pink has showed up on a bunch of Fox News shows.
I want to see this
Samuel Bailey
Red Eye for example (whats his name from Fucked Up has also appeared on it before)
>thats rad dude
>also strange that he's weird about homosexuals and would tongue kiss you lol
Hahaha yeah, that willl probably be my best live music story I'll ever get to share in my life.
Is he really weird about gay people though? I thought I read somewhere he was bi after that show and I thought to myself "oh that makes sense"
Ryan King
Matt Pike from High on Fire is both a crazy conspiracy theorist (metalinjection.net
Isaac Carter
Sebastian Reyes
Oh yeah I remember hearing a lot of nasty shit about them, definitely rings a bell.
John Wright
Yeah, I don't totally understand his views lol
Love his music though
completemusicupdate.com
Adrian Collins
.....damn. I think I need to go lie down now. That's some heavy shit. I mean, I'm still gonna be a little judgy about it lmao. But that's kind of...legitimately sad.
Nicholas Moore
Billy Corgan has made some amazing music but I really would love to punch him in the face as hard as I can
Matthew Campbell
>Yeah, I don't totally understand his views lol
Forgot about the amount of drugs he takes so I'm guessing maybe he was totally fucked when he was saying that and then also, relevant to up-thread:
>You can see the entire interview, plus a shopping trip with slender Brooklynites DIIV, here
And we've come full circle. Makes total sense now, lmao.
Bentley Hill
Why does everyone on Sup Forums seem to hate Billy Corgan?
I don't listen to The Smashing Pumpkins so I'm kind of out of the loop here.
Carson Long
Oh yeah, I kind of forgot about what a dumpster fire that guy has been as a person this whole year basically. Well, and beyond that too, but especially this year.
He bought a pro-wrestling company a couple weeks ago too, which is hilarious and the most Billy Corgan thing ever.
Elijah Morris
he sounds based.
Hunter Roberts
Spotted the 12 year old Sup Forumslack.
Xavier Diaz
Hello Mrs. Coyne.
Daniel Thompson
Because he's basically Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: The Person.
pitchfork.com
Just one random sampling I picked after Googling "Billy Corgan"
He's probably wanking off over on Sup Forums right now, actually.
Isaiah Barnes
kys.
Anthony Howard
Strange how people become bitter over time.
Oliver Russell
>butthurt berniebro can't handle the bants
lmao, typical.
Justin Harris
Are you a regressive leftist by chance?
Aiden Miller
I love this album so much
just cuck my shit up
Benjamin Morris
>cuck
12 year old spotted
Julian Garcia
Ariel Pink showed up A show on Fox News ONCE. At like the 3 A.M. time slot. He didn't really say anything all that offensive either. He was quiet throughout most of it.
Austin Hughes
underrated post
Asher Cook
>He's on Sup Forums
>pretending like he's too good for Sup Forums
heh
Gavin James
Oh shit yeah! they didn't turn down the money which was the biggest sleezeball move
John Russell
kanye the musician is great
kanye the person seems fucking insufferable
Chase Green
kek I was gunna make a thread just like this and post Efrim.
Henry Martinez
I love Grimes but I hate Claire
Isaiah Peterson
This. She's such a stupid cunt.
Luis Davis
>kys.
Carter Martinez
It seems like his life goal at this point is just to see how he can continue to one up himself at being a completely unlikable dickhead,
"Famous" music video from this week is just the latest example.
Caleb Walker
most of the jazz greats were complete assholes
Austin Edwards
no it was a mixture of Set Fire To Flames Songs and live material
Samuel Martin
Cause he doesn't follow hivemind politics. He isn't cool with huge governments and surveillance as well as social justice advocacy tactics done by radical leftists so he's obviously Sup Forums.
Owen Sullivan
Current day Bily corgan is annoying,has his head stuck so far up his own ass, he couldn't get it out of it even if he tried. He is bitter and still won't get over Pavement.
Ayden Smith
>obviously Sup Forums
Irony.
Aiden Fisher
Ah gotcha, yeah I didn't think that turned out to be anything legit.
Aaron King
switch them around
Asher Kelly
Heroin didn't really help in a lot of cases.
Gabriel Lee
agreed. that guy is full of shit
Joshua Green
Efram is a pretentious fuck. He's great in Thee Silver Zion but his stuff with GYSBE is just really grating and annoying.
When they toured before Allejuah they played these awful extended versions of songs off the album. Dead serious, opening song was 25 minutes straight of him fucking a guitar's beck with a screwdriver. It was just an extended drone on one note. It was terrible.
He's also a massive hypocrite when it comes to politics and money in the music business
Alexander Cook
bump
Nathaniel Ward
The guys from The Garden are very nice i think, but because they just 'do their own thing' all the time it makes them seem pretentious to some, but to me they have a child-like innocence See this for example:
Dylan Parker
no competition
Angel King
>4. Mercury Rev; Jonathan is a sleazeball.
Really? He seems like the most passive guy ever in the interviews I've seen with him. Other than the story about trying to gouge Grasshopper's eyes out with a spoon (which might have been David Baker), I haven't heard anything bad about him, ever.
Surprisingly likeable for a Fascist murderer
Logan Richardson
RATM
Liam Gutierrez
"Hypocrite: the band"
Owen Rivera
...
Thomas Lee
They donated all the money to some kind of arts in prison program, though
Easton Perez
Doesn't Tom Morello have even more, yet speak even more about being a commie?
Liam Cox
Steven Wilson is a good musician but a textbook rockist.
Liam Gallagher is a complete JUST at this point.
Jaxson Nelson
>Bobby is a weirdo
dude, what?
