forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/don-powell-sacked-from-slade-after-57-years.928533/SAY WHAT??? Oh MAN! Here are a couple of reasons why I'm glad I don't poat there anymore: melstapler Reissue Activist Very sad news. The Slade most of us knew and loved ceased to exist in 1992, once Noddy and Lea left the lineup mestreech Forum Resident For me SLADE is Noddy / Dave / Don and Jim. After that line-up no more Slade for me. Please tell me you're fucking kidding me. They even do this shit with marginal bands like Slade? This has to be some kind of joke. But, all told, at least we found both Slade fans in one place!

I only know Slade as the answer to the trivia question about Quiet Riot’s hit record.
Don’t think I’ve ever heard the original version of the song.

Well apparently if it was recorded after Nod off / Jim / Bill and Steve or whoever the fuck that clown above listed, it doesn't count. With a legendary band like Slade you gotta have the original line up only.

Slade are 10% solid gold, 30% pretty good and 60% absolute shit; in fairness to those poaters, they kept the same lineup all the way through until they split, then the guitarist and drummer resurrected the band with ringers and played gigs at holiday camps and awful local festivals. Like Queen are doing now, but much, much worse. So this is like if Brian May sacked Roger Taylor, but no one actually cares.

The most annoying threads ever have to be the "help me get into ________".
It's a damn shame there isn't something called Youtube or Google to assist you in finding an artist's music to see if it appeals to you before you spend money.
Or streaming for that matter.
Honest to christ....

I woman I knew told me what she thought of Pet Sounds when she finally gave into the hype and listened to the thing: "It's like Andy Williams with a brain injury." It was not a compliment. She should start a music blog — I want more.

Honest to christ.... Even better are the ones were they say they’ve listened to such and such artists but didn’t like them and are asking for advice on how to get into said artist. WTF??! You listened, you didn’t like. Why the fuck do you *need* to like a particular artist?!

At last some real musicology. Fleetwood Mac as Gilligan's Island charactersOk, here's a dumb one. I was just listening to Fleetwood Mac's Over and Over, thinking about how much I enjoyed Christine McVie's contribution to the band, even going so far as finding her more attractive than the obvious Stevie Nicks, sort of like choosing Mary Ann over Ginger on Gilligan's Island (1960s TV show). So, that took me to wondering which characters the other Fleetwood Mac members would be. I'm guessing the following: Mick Fleetwood - Gilligan John McVie - Skipper Lindsay Buckingham - Professor Christine McVie - Mary Ann Stevie Nicks - Ginger With that, here's our Fleetwood Mac Mary Ann vs. Ginger poll: forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/fleetwood-mac-as-gilligans-island-characters.932357/I'd like to comment on this, but I just killed myself.

They’re going hard for Billie Eilish on her new Bond theme. forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/new-bond-theme-song-no-time-to-die-by-billie-eilish.930820/Someone called Jerrika is furious because she didn’t pay her dues like Katy Perry did. “She has a very well connected family. They live in LA, her brother's a music producer and her parents are actor-musicians. She never paid her dues like Lady Gaga, Halsey and Katy Perry did. She's a privileged girl who had an unfair advantage. Also, her record company spent a lot of money promoting her. I don't think she deserved to win all those Grammys. Her music isn't that great. Her lyrics are juvenile and she sings like she has a mouth full of pablum.” I don’t know which one of you is Glass Candy, but you’ve done some good work in that thread.

I wonder if this guy or any asshole there who claims she had an "unfair advantage" believes in white privilege...
