Covidiots in music

some of the fans in that thread are all "what a relief to finally be able to say that it's a bit weird that their dad picked their wives from a pool of elite superfans, and that even the non-racist one has seven children"

one of my friends ia huge Hanson fan (!) and she is gutted by what's gone on. When I first met her a few years back she told me an annual event where fans can buy tickets for a week on a boat with the band which sounds... intense

This is kind of like when normal people found out the shiplap HGTV show couple were evangelical weirdos with shitty views on LGBTQ rights (and probably many other things). How did you not see the signs?

might as well put this one here:

^ that's the hired singer from the band formed by the guitarist out of Ride in between Ride's split and his joining Oasis*, suddenly explaining why they aren't touring the US in the middle of a pandemic when international travel is banned. presumably his explanation for why they also haven't toured since 1997 will be forthcoming.

* true story: Liam Gallagher heard that he was joining Gay Dad and poached him instead

Are British Gen X musicians dumber than American or are we just lucky that King Buzzo hasn’t shared anti-mask memes in between Thomas Sowell quotes?

Kid Rock, Reverend Horton Heat, Smash Mouth, Hanson etc etc

Wow TIL that apparently Hanson is still a thing and apparently they have a big fanbase.

it always good to get a rampant socialism-on-the-march update from some brit-pop also ran cunt I've never heard of!

that's it, now YOU can kiss a hurricane#1 tour goodbye too

I can't remember the exact circumstances but istr thinking Andy Bell must have thought as highly of H#1 as I did when we just walked away from his own project to play with a fractured Oasis.

we = he

Weren't they widely hated for allowing a song to be used in an advert for The Sun?

And even a fractured Oasis must have seemed like a bill payer?

someone's done a drum cover of Ian Brown's covid song

"FANFUCKINGTASTIC... LOVE FROM DEVON"

Guessing that will be Totnes, Devon

suspect Ian Brown is a late boomer not Gen X?

that guy from hurricane #1 has form

basically, never trust a band that looks like this

a mix between Brexit and Q with the swagger of dying from Covid-19

The guy was in a shit band and he's a shit artist. Not too surprising that a lot of these people are like D-list musicians, with notable exceptions

I'm guessing the sad remnant of a band that broke up to fill in gaps in Oasis going there with covidiot/antiantifa/racism shock posts that gather 24 likes and 3 comments might have struggled to sell out that US tour.

The band's twitter account is protected - presumably due to fallout from covidiocy/racism.

i'm going to guesstimnate that 21 of those likes were from Japan; the land where Britshitpop never died, and they have no idea what he was even saying.

As just posted to the Deftones thread, throw in guitarist Stephen Carpenter now.

Bonus content - he's also anti-vaxx and a flat earther!

Anyone admitting to COVIDiocy from this point out should be required to have a court-appointed (and HAZMAT-suited) guardian to keep them from gnawing through powerlines and swallowing handfuls of rusty screws and whatnot. Just complete soup sloshing around in those brainpans.

Hanson can get their ass kicked by the New Radicals dude any day now

major bummer about the deftones :(

Catching up on that Hanson story does actually highlight one of the good sides of rabid online stan culture, they are good at amplifying shit like that which might otherwise be largely unknown, even within the larger fan group. The fact that so many are willing to continue making it an issue and not letting them just skate on evasive answers is one nice side effect.

Bonus content - he's also anti-vaxx and a flat earther!

Antivaxx usually comes with the set but flat earth is fairly novel.

I guess they're too sexy for a pandemic.

too sexy for a mask.
too sexy for a mask.

To be fair, it can't be easy to go through your entire career being the one person in a group who no-one is interested in, who no-one pays any attention to, who people don't recognzie and are not even sure who you are and what you're doing there up on stage with the Corrs.

He's got into a Twitter row with Jedward.

So are the heroic twins of Jedward the last remaining bulwark agains total covidiocy in music on the “British” Isles? Didn’t they also take on Ian Brown just recently?

Total legends.

Hi Ian you discredited yourself with your backward views and non logical actions👍🏻

— JEDWARD (@planetjedward) September 14, 2020

Ian Brown is retweeting MIA retweeting antivaxx garbage

Do we have an accepted collective noun yet? A confederacy of covidiots?

wait do i have to like jedward now? this year has been hard enough as it is

A ventilation of covidiots.

i'm sure this will be excellent listening

Failure.
