Man this whole thing is so dumb. The Black keys think they're so much quacking better than all these other mainstream acts and they really aren't. This summers breeze shouldn't of started this in the first place, and making fun of 13 year old girls over the internet for liking a pop star is a low point in anyone's life. He's a loser.
Do you have the reading comprehension skills of an oil drum, or something? Carney made a comment about Bieber not being deserving of a Grammy nomination (which he didn't get). Is this a fair criticism? Yes, it is fair, since it's true he didn't get a nomination. It is fair to say a kid who sings and dances and outsells historically relevant and important artists on an exponential scale is a product of the hype machine and undeserving of awards for truly exceptional music. He did not "start" anything. He was being interviewed when the interviewer asked about poor, poor, wittle Bieber. Carney gave a ".....seriously?" look, then said what he said. Biber, being the humanitarian leader that he is, said Carney should be "slapped around." Never mind the fact that Carney is a casual 6'5" and the visual of him backhanding Bieber's midget self from across a room would break the hilarity scale, Bieber's act of siccing his minions on Carney was just pathetically immature and showed Carney was right in everythign he said.
And I realize the Grammy's are a joke in their own right, but that's besides the point.
As ITM already asked, what other mainstream acts do they think they're "so much f*cking better" than? He (it's the drummer Patrick, btw, Dan Auerbach wasn't involved in any of these instances) once called Gaga "Madonna" on twitter....not sure that really counts, though.
Also, it's "shouldn't have," not "shouldn't of" (pet peeve of mine).
Don't read the comments, you'll get sucked right in.

Actually, if you read or watch interviews with them, they are the complete opposite. They were living in their van at one point touring and it took them forever to get where they are. Because they remember where they come from, they are pretty humble.
Turtles are, actually quite sexy, if you think about it. I’m getting an erection just thinking about turtles. No, not a stripper named turtles, that’s not funny. Actual turtles.

The Black Keys, though I remain a huge fan of their earlier stuff and a modest fan of their newer work, both come across as petulant, whiny dickbags in interviews. They're clearly trying very hard to be successful and popular, yet seem to have a severe problem with others who are already successful and popular, particularly those they don't see as "authentic." For a band who has shed their sludge-blues trappings in favor of a much more accessible arena-rock ready sound, they really have no business playing the "authentic," "integrity" or "sell out" cards.
To say nothing of the fact that going after a target like Bieber just makes them looks like fools. Of course Bieber sucks, of course he makes vacuous pop music which appeals primarily to teens, and of course its mostly disposable. Everyone knows this - every generation has its bubblegum pop idols, and they're all incredibly easy to take shots at. It's just low hanging fruit.
Did Patrick go after anyone for being inauthentic, lacking integrity or being a sell-out, though? I would argue that he never "went after" Bieber at all, in fact.
He was asked his opinion of Bieber, he gave it (I'd think less of him if he said "oh, he deserved a nomination!") and then Bieber told his army of idiots to get after Carney for being honest. I don't fault him for trolling a bunch of tweens when that happens.
paul mccartney >>blur/stone roses Phoenix>>>>>>>>> Mumford RHCP = Petty
coachella wins becausemumford is way worse than the rest.
From a purely objective standpoint, Blur/Stone Roses is a rarer combination (even one of them would be rarer) especially for North America where neither of them have had any scheduled shows for the at least a decade.
But why does it always have to be a comparison? All three of them will put on must see shows.
all three who?
i don't see how mumford andsons could put on a must see show.
like, how could you say someone who doesn't like shizzy poppy folk music 'must see' that show?
I think Petty is weaksauce, but unworthy? Just stop it. Dude's a HOFer, calling him unworthy is insulting, he's not WSP or something.
i don't particularly care about such things.
You can't make an argument against someone's worth and then disregard any evidence people give you towards the contrary.
Petty is worthy, he's a HOF rock and roll musician who has been operating for decades. He's worthy of headlining, even if you don't like him (which, again, I don't).

This sums up my feelings on the subject pretty well.
In my opinion, this thread is unreadable and you're all f*cking idiots.
you, sir, are entitled to your opinion.
i'm entitled to tell you to go fuck yourself.
see how much more fun this is when we accept each other for what we are and have a frank (hee) and honest discussion about the virtues of music festivals in which we may or may not have been in attendance?
