30 Harshest Musician on Musician Insults

[Anonymous]

Yeah, I definitely remember their douche-holes making those comments. It's funny, because Petrucci is still around -- being AWESOME. And I am assuming that the guys from BM are cleaning-out septic tanks somewhere, or just lying in a pile of of their own matted-hair and vomit on a sidewalk somewhere.

They're still around, doing their thing
Nuno, on the other hand, also has somewhat of an asshole reputation; moreover, he sold his soul playing for the likes of Joe Jonas and Rihanna

Who the fuck is Anton Newcombe???

How the fuck is courtney love considered a musician?

Sucking on a musicians cock doesn't make you a musician...

Judging by all the quotes in the article, I think they probably came over here to RT to pick up some pointers....

Don't remember them targeting Nuno, but that figures. These guys seemed to take shots at the giants who they could never even hope to become worthy of changing their strings, much less being considered a peer in the world of guitar. That was pretty common with the whole backlash of the 80s by the 90s upstarts.

At any rate, I'd rather listen to a great song than a great guitar player any more. But it just doesn't sit well with me that these pedestrian (at best!) musicians were taking such candid shots at true giants. Crap... Hammett was around back then, why didn't they settle for slagging him like everyone else???

it was in a Guitar World or something...they were on the cover. i hated, really hated Blind Melon at the time. hell, i hated a lot of bands during that time. i was really into punk and metal, young, and had just got an electric guitar and a little peavey amp and thought i was hot stuff learning to play Megadeth and Metallica and Pantera. i was a BAWSS during that time! anyone who picked on bands i liked got an earful from me, usually in a very polite and concise manner. remember a talk i had with my dad once who said metal bands just play random notes as fast as possible...so i stuffed Ride the Lightning into the tape player while we were going down the road and explained that the songs and solos werent random...he still didnt like it much, but he understood after that but then again, he was part of the problem of me not liking a lot of music because he was big into show tunes, Abba, oldies (Les Paul!), and it forever ingrained in me a need to hear good melodies/harmonies and whenever i hear stuff that is just devoid of all that i cant stand it. i respect it, but cant stand it.

so yea...ive always enjoyed a nice song, but i like to listen to awesome guitar players as well! even a few Blind Melon songs...

My favorite insult is one that someone posted in the comments section at the bottom:


Waylon Jennings: "Garth Brooks has done for Country Music what pantyhose has done for finger-fucking."

That dig on Clapton was just crossing the line.

Lowest of low.

I have NO doubt about Nuno's assholishness. And I do agree that he's sold-out a bit. BUT... the FACT remains that he's STILL AWESOME and "the bland melons" will NEVER be that.
