rolling #metoo thread for sexual harassment in the music industry so no one misses out when artists we don't give a fuck about like Tim Westwood and Bassnectar get caught

apparently Grohl has his own label imprint called Roswell Records that has put out all the Foo Fighters stuff, assuming this was all negotiated during Nirvana's peak, I'm sure it's a way better deal than the original Nirvana contracts

pretty safe to assume he's made tons more money off Foo Fighters than Nirvana, esp considering they have toured arenas a ton

...and his publishing deal's probably way better, and has more hits. IIRC, wasn't there some issue with how Nirvana's publishing royalties were divided?

Even if she actually saw what she says she saw, she does a disservice to the alleged victims by wielding their stories as weapons in an unrelated war she's waging on another super-rich rock star about money.

Yeah that was sort of my point.

90% of her diatribe is against Grohl for money and then as a footnote “oh btw Trent is a child abuser”. Idk… you’d think child abuse comes first and the money dispute should be footnote.

But then, if she has been silent for 30+ years about it maybe she’s not that concerned about the alleged child abuse.

Assuming Chr1s's recollection is correct, she hasn't been silent for 30+ years?

Hole and Manson we’re support acts for that tour from Aug 1994–Feb 1995 so maybe not 30+ years but 27. Not that it makes it any better.

reznor being a creep is not exactly news...?

and "even if" she's telling the truth it's her fault somehow?

i don't know enough to condemn or defend any other specific purpose saying this now might be trying to serve but i believe it

remember when she was warning about weinstein and everyone was just like there goes crazy courtney again

It’s not her fault that Reznor is an alleged child abuser, but withholding evidence of child abuse, and saving it as a threat is crap for the victims if true and not a good look for her either.

It’s not something you should expose in a twitter beef after 27 years, is something you call the police asap

yeah that'll do it

reznor being a creep is not exactly news...?

have there been stories before because all i remember is the stuff from manson's book which seemed kinda dubious and not exactly from a reliable source

idk but I'm pretty sure I've been hearing whispers about him almost since the first time I ever heard of NIN

well NOW we have a reliable source

She was right about Weinstein, but she also has a history of making things up when it involves people she doesn’t like. A decade ago she accused Grohl of hitting on Francis - who was underage at the time iirc, or just turned 18 - and Francis herself had to deny the claim as gross and suggesting her mother should be banned from twitter.

Generally as a rule of thumb I trust people who come forward with things like this and while I still acknowledge that this indeed could have happened and she was right (but why would she delete and apologise afterwards then?), I take everything she says with a pinch of salt especially if it involves people who she doesn't like.

win win, getting to blow Paul from Wonder Years and having it be you all along

Was kind of shocked when I rewatched Lost Highway recently and spotted Manson. Creepy dude

I’m pretty sure the first time I ever heard of Manson, I heard whispers that he had his ribs removed so he could blow himself and that he was Paul from The Wonder Years.

fun fact: Marilyn Manson is the bloke from the band Marilyn Manson and his name is not Trent.

yeah i completely agree with this

Sony's longest-standing employee, globally, fired effective immediately after head office found 25 years of complaints under a sandwich

Jesus, that's horrifying.

For those of you who, like me, feel called to comb through the article looking for the sandwich anecdote, I believe that (sic) was using a turn of phrase.

yes, sorry - the phrase was meant to be self-evidently impossible, in lieu of whatever wildly implausible excuse Sony may come out with themselves

Lotta booze though, but no sandwiches.

Vegemite sandwiches by proxy, due to a passing mention of Men At Work.

“Found under a Walkman”

the better part of me and the worse part of me are both disgusted by this story

I'm sorry I brought up the sandwich thing.

u_u

Like, I'm much more disgusted by the toxic fucking work environment that these women had to suffer through. Fuck an alcoholic, sexist work culture. Wonder which US rapper from 2012 called for that shot-session? MGMT were brought up as being at the scene of one of that executive's tirades at a woman. Have any musicians spoken up? Do John Farnham or Midnight Oil have anything to say?

the worst thing about the sony revelations, aside from the obvious, is that the end goal of all this abuse, alcoholism, and abject misery is getting like, jessica mauboy to play the afl half time show. what a sad industry.
