i am not here to make an argument about art . .which if you had a brain cell would know that cannot be done so easily.... i think the kind of music they make is trite . .since you looked it up boy...its hackneyed, lame, over done etc get it?
: : i am dumb because i dont like a band that makes trite music
: "Trite"?? Please look up the word before you use it in a sentence.
: Trite basically means: "Lacking power to evoke interest through overuse or repetition; hackneyed."
: It's fine if you don't like their music, but your 'arguments' are lame. The Pumpkins' music may have failed to evoke interest in you, but that's through no fault of their own. If you really think they're "trite", then it's because the radio stations, MTV, etc. overplayed them! It has nothing to do with their musical ability.
: : fuckers over their drummer
: You mean "fucked over their drummer" which is far from the truth. You see the drummer had a heroin problem & was affecting the band. It even was part of the death of their keyboardist at the time (last name of Melvoin - brother of Wendy Melvoin of Prince & the Revolution fame). And he was only gone for 1 album/tour anyway. He's now in Billy's new band too. Yeah, he got REAL fucked over their - a 2nd chance.
: : and has a lead singer that looks like an asshole with hair and when he shaves his head looks like a six foot dildo...please.
: Billy does look goofy w/hair & w/out, but who the fuck cares what a lead singer looks like compared to their music?? Talk about superficial. You must love Britney Spears & N'Sync since they're all pretty.
: : the pumpkins suck, always have always will
: And you make such great points to back that up. Nevermind the fact that they've sold millions of records & sold out countless concert venues. Oh, and that they're one of the most influential & rememberd bands of the 90's. Lame argument #....oh, I lost count by now.
: : they made a couple good songs...
: Wait, wait! Didn't you just say "the pumpkins suck, always have always will..."?? How could such a sucky band make any good songs??
: : till they went all asshole commercial gimme that MTV money...pussies
: Oh yeah....MTV played their videos ALL the time. Please! Even if MTV did, is that the Pumpkins' fault??! Concentrate on the music & not the image please.
