stevGNR666 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor has criticised the unconventional release of Radiohead’s album In Rainbows, leveling claims of insincerity on the part of the Britsh mega-stars.Reznor said in an interview with ABC : "What they (Radiohead) did was a cool thing. But if you look at what they did, though, it was very much a bait and switch to get you to pay for a MySpace-quality stream. There's nothing wrong with that - I but don't see that as a big revolution [that] they're kinda getting credit for."Reznor added: "What they did right: they surprised the world with a new record, and it was available digitally first. What they did wrong: by making it such a low quality thing, not even including artwork ... to me that feels insincere."More Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't you see why people have a hard time taking the shit that comes out of your mouth seriously? Go back to New Orleans and help Habitat for Humanity rebuild some damn houses.

Praise the LORD! On Topic:What Trent says makes sense. Why release it that way if your not going to give it all you got. No artwork, low quality downloads. Give 'em the whole package for free!

Estranged Reality Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 comparing Guns N Roses to Radiohead is like comparing R.L Stein to Oscar Wilde.Is this an old member back looking for attention trying to wind us up, or is he really THAT stupid?Most people would probably agree with him, but I love GN'R and I do prefer them to Radiohead. But let's face it - Radiohead are far more respected in critical terms than GN'R ever were or ever will be. Their reputation has increased over the years, but GN'R will never achieve the art-rock respectability that Radiohead hold. I mean, these guys were voted the best band ever in England and OK Computer was voted #1 album ever. I disagree with both labels but if you took a worldwide poll, in terms of artistic merit, Radiohead would come out on top by a long shot.

bluesy Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 In terms of GNR and Radiohead, I can't bring myself to prefer one over the other because they appeal to two different senses. Having said that, although my interest in Guns is far greater, I'm consistently disappointed to see that they have such a large fanbase of dumbasses. Now, that's not a reflection on anyone in particular, but just a blatant call of a general trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevGNR666 Posted April 5, 2008 Author Share Posted April 5, 2008 (edited) apparently only one band is important in this entire world.rather pitiful.thanks for all of you who ruined this thread and created your own discourse, I realize this is a gn'r forum and all, but you do also know that there are other bands out there other than gn'r and that the music world doesn't revolve around them at all times. times change and if you want to talk about g'nr there are plenty of threads to discuss them on this forum, but this is not one of them. some moderator better clean this thread up.
