Some old man from a defunct Rock N’ Roll band is dead.
And no. It’s not Axl Rose or Vince Neil, no matter how many times I’ve prayed to Satan for that to happen, those fat fucks are still around.
The Doors may have been special to a few rock legends like Slash, but to most everyone else with some sense of taste, know that The Doors weren’t anything special outside of just another shitty rock band from L.A.
Name one band that was directly influenced by The Doors. One. Go on, i’ll wait… Matter of fact, I won’t, because I don’t fucking care. I don’t like The Doors. They didn’t matter outside of the 1960’s-70’s and the minds of hipsters who love to revel in bullshit like that.
You know who was more important than The Doors and still has a lasting influence on Rock N’ Roll? Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath, and Judas Priest.

Daft Punk Fights Piracy With Convenience, Streams Entire “Random Access Memories” Album Days Before Release | TechCrunch
After weeks of teasing, endless itty-bitty leaks, and about a zillion radio plays of the one track they’d released so far, the entirety of Daft Punk’s new Random Access Memories has just hit iTunes, days before the official release. “Why would they do this?” you might ask. &..While a few sites are declaring this a “leak”, that’s almost certainly not the case. Apple did something similar to this leading up to the recent release of Justin Timberlake’s 20/20 album, and the promotional text of the stream specifically suggests that you “pre-order the album” — which isn’t something they’d say if it wasn’t intended to go up a bit early.
“Why would they do this?” you might ask. “ Isn’t this just giving pirates a hi-fi copy to spread around?”
Yes — but that’s very much not a worry at this point. We’ve got just four days before the album’s official street date. The album is almost certainly on trucks around the country. Once it’s on the trucks, it’s being ripped and uploaded to the Internet, almost without fail.
Streaming your album early, on your terms, is the new “accidental” leak. It’s fighting piracy with the only tool that can really fight it: convenience.
Spotify have begun notifying people as early as this past Monday when they’ll be streaming the album with banner ads that say “click for notifications”.
The music industry has learned from the Death Grips experience (see: Death Grips released NO LOVE DEEP WEB, October 1st, 2012 without the consent of Epic records, sparking massive controversy) and have decided that jumping the gun with digital pre-releases are a great idea after all.
I’m fairly sure Zippyshare, or Kick Ass Torrents, or even The Pirate Bay already have copies of Random Access Memory ripped at High Quality and ready for download. This is the inevitability of music Piracy that the industry fears and loathes, yet cannot stop.
You call it Piracy. We call it freedom.
burning-jacobs-ladder replied your post The two most important musical acts of the 21st Century so far are Death Grips and The Dillinger Escape Plan.
QOTSA?
Honestly, Queens Of The Stone Age are only as important that the established legacy of Kyuss that they broke free of thanks to Josh Homme being such a dynamic front man.
And don’t get me wrong.
I LIKE The Needle Drop. A Lot. It’s an entertaining show, Anthony is very informative, and very fun to watch, but seriously, dude, how many fucking times are you going to keep comparing TDEP to Mike Patton (or any of his affiliated projects) or for that matter Trent Reznor? Come on man, can’t you see past the obvious on this one?
This band has grown beyond anything people have thought what they could be and prove once and for all that they’re much more than the sum of their parts instead of just farting out “43% Burnt” soundalikes ad nauseam.
Come on man. Come on.
I have an idea.
Any time Anthony Fantano mentions either Mike Patton, Faith No More, or Mr. Bungle in his review for One Of Us Is The Killer we all take shots of jack daniels. I guarantee you, within the like, 10 minutes he’s talking, we’ll all be extremely drunk.
Seriously, if you haven’t seen it, (and no offense to that dude, he does seem nice) go to YouTube or his website and just watch how many fucking times he name drops Patton, or Patton related projects. My god. DILLINGER ARE MORE THAN JUST MIKE PATTON FANBOYS!Let, it, go.
They did ONE EP with Mike back in 2002. That’s 11 years ago. Move on. They have, why can’t everyone else?
