Down with noise before it destroys civilization.

  • Oh goody, now we have war on music.
  • Ha, Lightning Bolt chuffing rocks. And they missed Vampire Belt.
  • Those band names are a riot. They forgot Throbbing Gristle on their list. Geez.
  • No Naked City either.
  • Andrew W.K. is one of the most cunning hoaxes executed by the noise agenda, while the truth about the exact details of this matter have been deliberately blurred, this is known: Andrew WK acted for years the role of a simple party hungry pop rocker. But reality shows his pop music was nothing but an orchestrated manipulation to get a foot into the mainstream. And after his connections were established within the mainstream he started touring with TLASILA a most vile anti-authoritarian noise band (also features Sonic Youth member Thurston Moore) Party hard! *suddenly disabominates Andrew WK*
  • I have to say, the man who lives in the apartment above mine is rebellious (doesn't give a flying rat's ass about the ears of people in the two apartment buildings who hear him every day), violent (insults me when I ask him to at least please shut his window considering it's 5°C outside), alcoholic, dissonant (good lord you do NOT want to hear the music he listens to resonating throughout the buildings for six hours a day), but PRO-god, I'm afraid, as it's all religious music. Wouldn't that just shock the authors of that site. "If you thought Rap, Punk, Heavy Metal or any other past degenerate 'music' trend was a threat...WAKE UP!!" Yeah, I woke up nice and early this morning... to the cacophony of my neighbor's religious music. I'm sure I'll have to deal with it until midnight again too. (Yes, the police have visited him on my request - twice. Now he qualifies for a big fat fine. Heee.)
  • HelLO!? What about The Haters? SPK? Hijokaidan? And how dare they list Radiohead next to Merzbow! How about some distinction based on the quality of the noise produced? (Major points off for whiny annoying vocals.)
  • Everything went to hell after '70s Rock n' Roll. **shakes cane, gnashes teeth**
  • Nah, they went to hell after 70's rock AND 80s new wave/punk. **roly, 10 years younger than BlueHorse, shakes cane, tells kids to get off lawn**
  • First they came for Ensturzende, but I was not a fan of Ende Neu. Then they came for Sonic Youth, but I was not a fan of Thurston. Then they came for Stravinsky and Ligeti, and the finely tuned dissonance made their heads asplode.
  • *Einsturzende
  • OK, so the site really, really isn't a joke?
  • If you can find a copy, I recommend highly The Dangers of Rock Music 1 & 2 videos. (Check your local Christian books and video store.) Very entertaining to a non-believer like me, and I found some good music through that. First time I heard Foetus, for example.
  • Oh I love this - u know Beethoven got bad press because his music was 'noise' and didn't employ the formulae of the classical musicians. The man was hounded because he was the beginning of the 'romantic' movement and allowed the transition. Roll on roll on
  • Damned hippies.
  • This is a poorly written piece of knee-jerk panic. Where has his woman been all her life tha she doesn't realize that listening to music that pisses off your parents is what teenagers do? And why hasn't she been paying attention to what he listens to until now? Has she just been handing the kid money without caring what he spends it on? And any music can be made into noise by playing it too loudly - nothing ticks me off more than being at an intersection and having the music in the next car drown my own radio out. How would these chuckleheads hear a police siren?
  • Noise is one of the most fanatical cults I have ever seen... Something tells me this woman knows something about cults.
  • Lets take a slight roll down history lane, shall we?? First there was Mozart, then Beethoven, then Glen Miller, and all was fine in the world.. :) then the bomb called Elvis was dropped, soon came Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash, this was the rage called rock and roll. This woman shows an ignorance that entitles her to be President of the United States. She suggests that the 'spirit of rebellion' started with rock 'n' roll -- but Mozart was a rebel, and Beethoven was one too. Hard to be a genius without being a rebel. And to suggest that Glen Miller wasn't considered noise, when he played with one Gene Krupa, well, lady, c'mon. And she slags Johnny. That woman just ain't right.
  • Mozart was a rebel, and Beethoven was one too Are you sure you're not thinking of Admiral Ackbar and that guy who flew the Falcon with Lando? Their music was rebeltastic.
  • Yeah, it's, uh, part of the Expanded Universe. There's a quick comment about Mozart and Beethoven on the Clone Wars DVD (Japanese release). *grumbles*
