A message to all Radiohead fans...
 

Creep from Creepy Place on 2001-08-08 23:52 [#00020526]



FUCK OFF.


 

Phobiazero from Sweden on 2001-08-08 23:53 [#00020528]



Why?


 

=|R3FL3X|= from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-08-08 23:57 [#00020529]



What the hell was that?


 

Aron? from Canada on 2001-08-09 00:05 [#00020537]



go suck on a lemon fool! Radiohead=good!


 

Byron from under your bed on 2001-08-09 00:39 [#00020544]



This "creep" did the same thing on the joyrex boards. Maybe
Thom York had a run in with his mom *shrugs*.


 

Barrett, Syd from Toronto on 2001-08-09 04:02 [#00020574]



that's just lame.


 

Springymajig from New Zealand (www.mp3.com/aureus) on 2001-08-09 04:57 [#00020582]



No, YOU f#ck off!


 

Richard Ramirez on 2001-08-09 05:47 [#00020586]



It really is "fuck off"; Radiohead fans are just fuckin'
dicks. Radiohead don't suck, but their open "fans": "i wish
radiohead would repeat ok computer again"; "i can't here any
guitars";... are fuckin' retarded. Radiohead "fans" suck.


 

Barrett, Syd from Toronto on 2001-08-09 06:44 [#00020592]



alright........
well i like radiohead a whole bunch. they're great.

there's better, but still. sure most of their fans are
stupid. but so are most of aphex twins. and most of every
other bands out there. face it. people are stupid. it can't
be helped.

I agree, Syd. Like those annoying little adolescent fans who
shout "hey thom! hey, it's me!" etc. They think they
know him just because he once answered one of their
questions on their shitty little Radiohead Message Board. If
a band breaks America, they are guaranteed millions and
millions of fuckwit fans.


 

thanksomuch from over there on 2001-08-11 22:43 [#00021125]



some of you have a point, radiohead fans can be shitty. i
recetly saw them in georgia, and there were many many little
fuckers yelling this and that which pissed off the band.

but i must say, i am a very big "fan", and i like them very
much, so "creep" (did you know they vowed never to play that
song again because they hate it, and stoopid ignorant fucks
like yerself want to hear it too much...), you can go piss
off.


 

ross on 2001-08-11 22:46 [#00021127]



yeah, there's a lot of stupid radiohead fans..i got
particuliarly mad when people said things like 'it's time to
get new heroes, this kid a shit is disappointing' kid a is
phenomenal! thanksomuch- they played creep for the first
time in awhile in oxford, but they didnt play it for
years..and personally, i could care less (for anything on
pablo as well) :)
i think the bends is where they started getting it right..


 

thanksomuch from over there on 2001-08-11 22:46 [#00021128]



oh and i forgot to say, Richard Ramirez, you have an
excellent point. there were people in the concert saying
things like "Damn i wish they would play "any one can play
guitar" and "why is johnny fucking with that machine...."
dolts. those sort of people give a bad name to any band and
their fans..... even aphex.


 

thanksomuch from over there on 2001-08-11 22:49 [#00021129]



that's what i am saying, ross. amzaing they played creep..
if i were them, i'd drop that word from my vocab. they are
heading in an excellent direction, i'll be it, they are NEW
at it all, but i am quite happy with them any way.


 

ross on 2001-08-11 23:46 [#00021132]



thanksomuch-yeah, they're one of the best bands around, it
seems like a natural progression they've went through..did
any of you see meeting people is easy, that was a great
documentary..


 

maub from Interzone on 2001-08-12 01:36 [#00021147]



ive enjoyed some radiohead and found some tiresome. i felt a
little bit pissed at "Idioteque"'s IDM-ripoff, but oh well.
More power to them.

ive found their fans to be both tiresome and enjoyable as
well, but i have found a fair degree of aphex fans the same.


Moreso, the record shop pushers and elitist 'zine writers,
the "auteur" college boys and wannabe bedroom IDM gods (the
last of which I may be considered myself) do their share to
sour a fine group of fans (like we have here).

Elitism seems to rule when music breaks free of boundaries
set by conventional media. Perhaps this is a safety device,
to prevent mass-market appeal, or some sort of cult ritual
to bring unity to the members of the scene. Whatever the
cause, it makes these people ridiculously offensive in
average conversation. It's a form of musical fascism. "Music
Nazi" is the popular term.

I have never understood why liking music that is unknown
makes you more intelligent than another human being. If such
is the case, then when the music you follow gains exposure,
then you must slowly be revealed for the fool you are.
Artists that are intelligent, creative, and imaginative
retain their dignity no matter what their star status. I
feel that aphex and radiohead are similar in this way, to a
degree. Hell, Frank Zappa as well. There are many.

Once an artist HAS reached exposure, you gain a large
following. Some are old fans, some are new fans looking to
cash in on a phenomenon, wear Tshirts, and engage in
highbrow converstation on "the meaning of Nannou" and etc.


But some are new fans just getting started, people who
respect the music for what it is, and find it unneccesary to
fly a flag of musical choice.

Just remember this: We all listened to Aphex for the first
time ONCE.

I think that radiohead just suffers from more bandwagon
jumpers than a lot of other artists.

But I could be wrong.

"We are the music makers, and we are the drinkers of Jim
Beam"


 

thanksomuch from over there on 2001-08-12 01:49 [#00021154]



ross, darling, i OWN meeting people is easy.. do you recall
thom singing "creep" and when reaching the lyric "i wish i
was special.." some oaf yelled "you are special thom!"? that
video makes me feel bad for bands, even though most would
not pity them due to their wealth and forture, these bands,
ICONS rather, are not always happy.

muab (excuse me if i spell it wrong...) i agree, Radiohead
and most tragicly hip bands/groups/persons suffer from the
ol'band wagon plugue.. but they pass, those band wagons, and
people who truely enjoy the music for what it is wroth will
stick around.... i have to admit, i don't mind flaunting my
radiohead and aphex habits with a few logo shirts here and
there... but they are not OBVIOUS.. if you get my meaning,
no plastering of names sort of thing...


 

Bogus on 2001-08-12 05:42 [#00021222]



richard i think most RH fans were happy with Kid A, the
people who weren't most probably aren't fans but people
who've heard creep and liked it.

BTW I love pablo honey... i think its better than the
bends.. the bends it's their worst album in my opinion.


 

Barrett, Syd from Toronto on 2001-08-12 05:47 [#00021223]



the bends is fantastic, and johnny fucking with his machines
rock.

but i miss his guitar work... he's by far my favourite
guitarist, and i miss it. tho he still does plenty of
wonderful other stuf.ff.f........f.f.f..


 

ross on 2001-08-12 06:16 [#00021227]



you've prolly heard it guys, but if you can, download
transatlantic drawl, it's crazy..thanksomuch- i laughed when
i heard 'you are special thom' and when the reporter says
'it's called ok computer, but there's no track on it called
ok computer' some people are such slags...Muab, good
points...to be honest with everyone, when i went to see
radiohead, i was slightly intimidated by their audience..And
on the side i was on, hardly anyone was singing or moving
to the music..at first i was like "damn this is putting me
down" but by everything in its right place i was up and
dancing and not giving a fuck..idioteque was amazing
live..Tool also have a similiar problem with fans..people
will like them because they're "hard" and "angry"
unfortunately..


 

ross on 2001-08-12 06:17 [#00021228]



*maub..erm..oops!


 

maub from Interzone on 2001-08-14 05:21 [#00021624]



maub, muab, no prob...

I shouldn't be so hard on Idioteque. perhaps it's personal,
as in the feeling i got recently when playing some of my
music for a friend of a friend of a girlfriend...that has a
smaller view of what is way out there musically, and also is
a very big radiohead fan. his words to me were "wow, this
sounds like idioteque" and I was a bit miffed, as in "damn
you, this REALLY sounds like *insert IDM artist here*!". I
felt bad because a group had gained credit for creating a
sound that was around before them (not quite saying that
they nicked it, but "borrowed" ideas - which is cool.) So
its probably my pettiness showing as being misunderstood,
all the while as I was trying to grasp onto that sound... so
in a way, radiohead and i were alike... we both admired
something higher.

I must agree with the intimidation factor. elitism really
show through in some crowds.

their last 2 albums were very good. Meeting People was
excellent, a very good film.

What's so wrong with radio head? him do nothing wrong? he
makes grand music with the odd bloody nonsenceical vidios
and gibber gabbery lyrics.
well whoever made this topic, well there plan was a success
because if you really think about it the only reason that
somebody would put up a stupid topic like "fuck off" would
to figure out just how many pepole would freak out because
nobody hates radiohead but i guess not everybody loves them
so everybody who pays any attention to this message board
would reply to this.
so this person who put up this topic would eather be
extermely smart with the knowledge to study the behaverior
of aphex twin fan's, or a very stupid person seeking
attention. Radical!
