Could someone maybe explain in what way is Bono a hypocritical moron? I'm not defending him, but maybe you could back up your statements...


The real heros in fighting poverty are the ones who dedicate their lives to being there, on the ground, among the people who need them by distributing aid and offering medical assistance. The people who own almost nothing themselves but immerse themselves into the situation by practically living with the people they are trying to help.

Bono on the other hand (and Oprah, Angelina Jolie, Sean Penn and Bob fucking Geldof) see starving and dying people as a photo oppurtunity to boost their already galactic egos and to convince people that they really are more than just entertainers. Bono and Geldof are just that little bit worse by actually thinking that they, personally, know everything to know about the situations in Africa and that they alone have the answer... music. Fuck off! They think that they can make a difference by swanning in on a private jet and effectively be carried around an African village on a palanquin while an army of photographers adoringly capture their every move. They meet with world leaders and try to tell them that they are actually more qualified to give advice than the Foreign Minister. Too many years on stage with crowds of people screaming their love for him has given Bono the impression that he is in fact the greatest human being in the universe. And that someone as filthy rich as he has every right to discuss the issue of poverty.

Fuck off and die Bono. Your music is shit too. If I hear 'Where the Streets Have No Name' one more time I will go postal.

Michael Kiske, we had a similar thread in the past. I listed out all the crap he has done in the past, which I can add to now.



Eidt - Here it is

As rants go, that was dissapointing, Billy.


Hmmm... that must not be the thread. Maybe it wasn't me now that I think about it. Maybe it was a website bashing Kiske. Anyway, the Lakers lost today so I am very angry. FUCK YOU ALL!! In a non gay way...













....ok, maybe a select few in a gay way.














Hey Brahm... :wub:












I've also had a few beers since then too. :wacko:


And I've long admired your nipples from afar. Come, let us make sweet love under the moon through the anus.

P.S. Lars Ulrich's a penis.

Explaination, please? I heard he was actually a pretty nice guy in real life.

Anyway, I agree that Benton is probably the most irritating man in music. Anybody who feels the need to slam God in every one of his songs is suffering from some serious arrested development, and probably isn't too confident in his own (anti)religious views anyway.

Now for a few slightly less extreme, but annoying nonetheless, people:

Lars Ulrich - Nuff said.

Fred Durst - Nuff said (of course, may be he wasn't worth mentioning, since I'm not so sure his band is even relevant anymore).

Pretty much everybody in Anthrax - Charlie Benante was really getting on my nerves with those "Metal Is Dead" and "Americans Are Stupid" rants he was putting on Blabbermouth.net a few years ago (they were his response to the poor sales of We've Come For You All here in the States). And let's not forget the whole "I'm pissed because somebody cut in front of me at Starbucks - not realizing I'm a big star!!!" rant of I think Scott Ian.

Jon Schaffer - Truly annoying around the time TGB was released, and he was posting all those anti-Youth rants and publically slamming Matt Barlow in response to his dismay over the ex-vocalist's departure.

I wish I didn agree, but I totally do. Iced Earth has always been a fave of mine but Schaffer really turned into a dick.

Well, he has an irritating face and I can't stand his voice. He might have been a good person in real life, but I just can't stand the sight of him.

Vince Neill and Tommy Lee.

Shout at the Devil and Nikki Sixx pulling a lazarus made Motley Crue cool and then they ruined it with lame reality TV and then Neill's 'extreme makeover' bullshit. Now that I think about it most metal guys on VH1 are really lame (ie: Evan Seinfeld).

I agree that Bono is annoying, he's acting all god and mighty scolding governments here and there on their policies. I simply hate that kind of attitude. I get that he wants to do good but he's totally annoying in his approach.

LOL, " LINKIN PARK- their second album is basically the first album." How could anyone in a metal band criticize another band for haivng their first album sound remarkabely similar to their second? Talk about the rapier calling the sabre pointy.
