Proper funny that maaaate!
Midi tunes of Rock song are always good for a larf. I think the funniest one I heard was 'Welcome to the Jungle' sounded like someone on a Bontempi organ!

This is why I don't like the NME. Plus the fact I never have done because they bought out the Melody Maker and my family had links throughout that.  From the man himself, Mr J. Hawkins. Hi everyone - I feel like a bit of a celebrity despot, but I need to share somethink with you...
Apparently this week, the NME (which is an abbreviation for "Batch of Social Inadequates") have chosen to devote a section of their front cover to The Darkness. I wish to state that we have in no way co-operated with this terrible publication. I would urge everybody, DO NOT EVER BUY THE NME under any circumstances.
Here's the thing - in the olden days when we worked our arses off trying to get a break (as recent as a couple of years ago) we only ever got a couple of bits of decent press coverage.
Simon Price at the Independant on Sunday always sung our praises, whilst the NME only saw fit to print 2 reviews, one of which stated that I should be hung, the other claimed that we should all be smothered. The organisation is literally rotten to the core, because their policy used to be to hate The Darkness and love The Datsuns. The editor has since approached me in person to acknowledge the fact that they "backed the wrong horse" (his words) to which I replied "FUCK OFF" (my words).
Since , we have continued to kick arse and, to their credit, they have asked us to contribute to features like "Burn-It", to which I have always replied, "NO! Your magazine is shite - FUCK OFF!"
I hate the NME and I make no secret of it. I have never bought the magazine and I have never had any desire to be in it.
It's a shit-rag.
If you must own a copy...please steal it!
Grrr....
Jus xxxAs a darkling, I feel it is my duty to BURN every copy of the NME I can get my hands on. *sweet smile* ~Rizzy xxxx |

*claps* *applauds* *standing ovation!!* *fireworks going off!!!* Fannnnn-fanny-tastic! Well done that man!! ;D Justin's just gone even higher up in my estimation for that! Takes a lot of balls to say that, esp when they could start giving them massively bad coverage/reviews or whatever, but just shows they're true to themselves, their music and their beliefs *nods*  |
