Shredder2 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 lol this thread Psh, if Psy thinks it's cool to be called the "herpes" then so be it. Billie shot first anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cob Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Grohl never directly talks about people publicly cause he's too concerned with making sure everybody likes him Yeah, no. He's said enough to criticize people's crafts, especially recently with the Sound City film that openly attacks pop music and digital production. But he's still respectful. It's possible to not use Ad Hominem without ulterior motive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I actually can not believe some of the reactions on here...Billie was simply stating his opinion in his typical, casual "Billie" way which he has been doing probably since the day he was born, certainly since Dookie era. So he insulted a dude who is popular...he happens to think his music is shit...I agree...it is total shit imo and I could care less who disagrees (after all the Spice Girls were mighty popular and mighty shit). I have no idea how this even made news...no one reported every time they insulted Pearl Jam/Mariah Carey/ Bjork/ Chad Whathisface etc etc. It's perfectly normal to have an opinion and Billie isn't an idiot popstar, if he feels the urge he is going to express his opinion. For the love of god where are all the people who thought iHeart was cool because it was so punk etc etc. While I thought that was misguided I can't fathom calling him a bitch etc for this...bizzare!

WhiteTim Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Yeah, no. He's said enough to criticize people's crafts, especially recently with the Sound City film that openly attacks pop music and digital production. But he's still respectful. It's possible to not use Ad Hominem without ulterior motive. True but then Grohl has changed his views on shit daily I'd even go as far as saying Dave is just a puppet (and I'm not attacking him I'm a fan of Dave I do share his views on digital recordings) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unholy Sister of Grace Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 This whole situation is just fantastic. All joking aside, everybody's made a rude comment at some point that they probably shouldn't have, even famous, publicly-recognized people. And that's all this is. We can't be gentlemen all the time (see what I did there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave To The Network Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I honestly don't think there should be any controversy here. Obviously Psy's song is super silly and he knows that and doesn't take himself too seriously. Like I said before, I think Billie's remark was more of an "Oh, you!" sort of response. Bottom line, this whole situation is just too hilarious to be taken so seriously. I think Psy is pretty funny. Gangnam Style is a catchy, slightly irritating, but also clever and fun song. Plus the video is hysterical! Have you watched the video without the music? There is one version where the only sounds are the background noises and it's funny as hell.

Hermione Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 7 now!! Holy shit!! Who the hell cares..just saying is it really that big of a deal that it needs 7 pages of discussion better off in the random news section The fact that people have been entertained enough by this to generate seven pages of discussion would indicate that isn't the case.

Awesompawsome Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I'm thinking that he is being told to act stupid, as it is part of his image. Which is awful, but which is worse? A pop star faking it, or a pop star that is an absolute idiot in reality. Today's pop music is just so disingenuous it's painful to look at. Psy would probably be something on the TV's in the American Idiot musical that Billie Joe is being overwhelmed by. Stupid, trashy music for the masses. Yeah I hope he was acting like a idiot to seem nice or to make more publicity because PSY was making me cringe when he thanked billie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.JimmyxChristiansInferno Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 alot of people who commented on NME are really stupid like one guy said PSY writes better music than Green Day its like what the fuck? PSY writes really silly songs and Green Day writes great, well written, serious songs and then some one said he's like a 50 year old who wears make up and plays the same songs for 20 years god there are some assholes on NME funny how he called him 50 year old where Billie still looks 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtue Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Pretty childish remark of Billie to make in the first place, and Psy handled it really well, as he always does. I don't understand why people have such a problem with this guy. I think Billie's comment meant to say that Psy was suppose to be a one hit wonder with Gangnam Style, then before you know it,BAM he comes back with "Gentleman" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Yeah I hope he was acting like a idiot to seem nice or to make more publicity because PSY was making me cringe when he thanked billie Maybe he even agrees with Billie's statement about him. And he just said, hey. Whatever, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Forgotten Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Dave Grohl never directly calls out other artists or jokes about them "going away" . In fact, in his keynote speech at SXSW he praised Psy for bringing lighthearted fun back to dance-pop music. He calls out the entire industry, and even then he does it respectfully. You defending Grohl, but kinda insulting Billie, conflicts my devotion to the church of Grohl and my passion for Green Day.... Idk what to think right now.....

I'm all for him speaking his mind and cracking jokes, but I don't necessarily agree with what he said and the reasoning behind that statement.

J&TheNight Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 It's funny how Billie easily gets away with every controversial statement of his. Controversial? THIS is what you deem to be controversial? Oh my, you must live in a really wonderful world where something as minimal as this is controversial. I envy you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grohl grows a mightier beard as well, for this, with my authority as Vice Head Minister of the church of grohl, we must wear a fake beard on the anniversary of Mr. Grohl's birth. We will call it, Grohlmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
