[Kacky]

The "Rant Of The Year" one was posted a while back.
Thanks for scanning the replies to it.

[kelso]

ahaha shit dude

[mel_bound]

Letters to the editors are always pretty retarded.

[Grumma]

Haha I opened this expecting to see keith richards babbling on about Chris's guitar playing or something :p

[Jodez]

Haha thats the dumbest thing ever :p

[Julian]

I agree with the first letter

[Grumma]

Yeah I'd have to say that.

His views may seem a little strong but they're generally correct in the most part

[Neo]

Haha I opened this expecting to see keith richards babbling on about Chris's guitar playing or something :p
That is exactly what I was expecting too! I was let down...

[E.B.]

Yeah, he does come on a bit to strongly and he isn't doing TLE any favours carrying on like that, but I have to agree with him when he points out who has been on the cover (Lindsay Lohan? come on dude)

[dirty man]

wasted youth?!!!?!?!?

[Julian]

Yeah I'd have to say that.

His views may seem a little strong but they're generally correct in the most part

I actually meant the first reply one. From Hannah

[Grumma]

wasted youth?!!!?!?!?

Isn't that a Bruce Dickinson solo song?

[The Dying Start]

And Missy Higgins is a talent mecca. Whether you like her music or not you're a "total dickweed" if you can't see that.

[Grumma]

Talented in having one of the most annoying singing voices in Australia?

[The Dying Start]

I don't have any problem with it. Must be you.

[Grumma]

Me and everyone else

[Neo]

Me and everyone else

I like some of her songs. My auntie thinks I like her heaps though because Missy reminds my auntie of me :confused:

[Outlaw Love Song]

The standard of Rolling Stone has dropped over the years so the guy makes a valid point but thers no way he should be going off his tree like that!

[Grumma]

I like some of her songs. My auntie thinks I like her heaps though because Missy reminds my auntie of me :confused:

Well Glenn was the first person I've encountered that I know likes her

[worry_rock]

wasted youth?!!!?!?!?

I think he meant mispent youth.

Hur hur hur. What a knee slapper.

[Erin]

wow, its all good and all that he's supportive of the guys, but...woah.

and the replies are a bit of slap in the face too.

[tanguyen]

Well Glenn was the first person I've encountered that I know likes her

I like her also ... for the fact that she is able to write her own songs and perform them pretty well. She's also probably the only chick who can pull off that haircut as well.

That guy went ballistic. Isn't Rolling Stone meant to make reports about pop-culture and trends rather than just sticking to raw Rock 'n' Roll? Rock 'n' Roll was the pop thing back then but it's a different animal during the naughties...

[Grumma]

I think Seth Putnam or Chris Barnes should write in ;)

[thelivingvines]

Dude clearly knows nothing about Jeff Buckley either. Hallelujah was the cover he was talking about, but people are equally as familiar with the song grace. Fucking incredible album. Jeff was an incredible songwriter with an incredible voice. Fucking idiot.
He's doing TLE absolutely no favours writing in with shit like that. Much better ways he could have put it... and in about half the space as well. What an idiot.

[The Dying Start]

You post was essentially a mirror of that dude's letter! Oh the irony.

[Jessii]

If irony was made of strawberries, we'd all be drinking alot of smoothies.
Ah Trey Parker...

[Mirm]

I liked the point in one of the reply letters, "fans despereately staying with them", haha.
thats pretty true. I know that the last show I went was more out of some kind of weird loyalty or tradition rather than me actually really getting into the new stuff.

Anyway, dumb letter. Rants should be kept to the internet, duh.

[Grumma]

lawl.

Hmm actually you make a point there.
SOE had 2 decent songs (Wake Up and Whats On Your Radio) but for me the rest was pretty uninteresting.

Bring back the days of POS, WER and FHOI I says!

[Bec]

I missed out on those days the first time round so I really hope they do bring 'em back, or something just as good/better.
I like WOYR and Reborn from SOE, not really too keen on the rest.

[jodiexxllewellyn]

That was a great rant.

I love Jeff Buckley though. I think he's brillient.

[Watty]

I love Jeff Buckley though. I think he's brillient.

He is good! I could listen to him anyday! :)

nov. 14 2002?

Still pretty lame.

The other two covers, Corpus Christi Carol and Lilac Wine are imo 2 of the weaker songs on Grace. The whole his best songs were covers argument is stupid. Jeff was such a creative songwriter, he's probably my favourite singer, songwriter and I think he was underrated as a guitarist too. The Living End will never do as much for music as Jeff did.

[Grumma]

If I knew who he was I'd probably agree with you

[Disease]

Best find out then Grumboy.

[Grumma]

Probably.

Odds are I've heard him before; just don't know the name

[Julian]

That is one sexy guitar :p

[mel_bound]

hahaha nice

she's photoshop-eriffic. It's so obvious that the piccie's been tampered with... :rolleyes:

[Grumma]

Every single magazine picture you see has been photoshopped

[The Dying Start]

As has your mother.

[Grumma]

I wish :p 10 characters

[The Dying Start]

Hahahaha, ouch!

[Samuel]

maybe Gaston could have pointed to the fact that Triple J has had them on the "Hottest 100" for the last ten years....(Who else has done that?)

[Disease]

No one. :)

[Drunky McClovis]

This was an intense topic...

I'm actually a bit worked up, hah perhaps I'm too opinionated or too caring. I don't know if I'm more pissed because the guy was dissing on Jeff Buckley to make TLE sound more deserving of the cover or that some of you guys actually are sticking around to hope they'll reverse their career to start playing songs more similar to their first album.

I'm assuming Jeff Buckley must have quite the following over in Australia? I don't think he ever had a cover of Rolling Stone in the states, it's a very cult following here. Nonetheless I think he's an amazingly brilliant creative artist. I'd like to see if that kid can sing like Jeff Buckley, then maybe he could consider calling him talentless. I own a lot of his other demo and live albums and they're mind blowing, and most of those songs are alll originals.

It does surprise me that The Living End haven't been on a cover for over 10 years, or something, but have continued to achieve number one status.

As far as them going back to writing songs that are more like Prisoner of Society or their EPs, I'd say don't hold your breath. I love that stuff, but they've only progressed with each album. I love SOE, I don't know if I've ever felt like that about an album. I see them only progressing more. It's a bummer you guys could only find 3 or so songs and the rest you found uninteresting.


Ok, I'm finished my rant now.

[Grumma]

Everyone else seems to know about Jeff Buckley but I only first heard about him in this thread

[Jawn]

That's because you are a musical ignoramous.
