And I hate stupid, ignorant people that criticize a song without actually reading the lyrics. They weren't really saying that they hate Jimmy Page, they were saying that they hate the fact that everyone strives to be exactly like him (or other people like that) rather than trying to do something new and slightly more creative. I mean, how lame would it be if every band after Led Zeppelin sounded /exactly/ like Led Zeppelin? It would completely take away from them because, well, they wouldn't sound even slightly original anymore. Everyone would be like "Oh. This sounds exactly like everything else." They would get bored. So, really, stop being an asshole about it and take a couple seconds to read over something before you get all pissed off, alright? Apparently, you never payed attention in English class or Literature class, because if you had, you'd know that most songs/stories/poems/etc have an underlying meaning that's not always lied right out on the surface. |

You /really/ don't understand the meaning of this song, do you? Nor do you want to, apparently. Because, even though you wrote a nice long paragraph, you managed to avoid the real topic behind this whole song. But, whatever. You can have your own opinion, even if it's almost completely based on the fact that you're one of the many people that's so hung up on the fact that the name of the song, and part of the chorus, are "I Hate Jimmy Page". See, people like you are completely blinded to things that are really being said by the lyrics because you're far too busy raging and flaming because somebody that you like is mentioned in a negative way. So, please, get wise and don't go around bashing something that you know nothing about simply because you're throwing a little hissy fit~ |

"Shoutweb: What's the story behind "I Hate Jimmy Page"? Jimmy: The basic jist is that I'm getting really sick of people just goin' on and on about classic musicians, and Clapton is god, and Led Zeppelin, and nobody ever wrote a better song, and that's the best record, and blah blah blah, and then not doing anything new. It's like they all just sit around and pray to these guys. It's like great, I'm sure we all wouldn't be doing what we're doing if Led Zeppelin hadn't written this song, and if the Beatles hadn't done that. Let's move on. I mean even with the Sex Pistols shit, it's like alright the Sex Pistols did their thing. Why would you want to do Sex Pistols Part 2? Ya know what I mean, it's like what's the point? Do something different, entertain me, plug in a frickin' toaster. Who cares if you can hit an e-minor 7th chord. Make me wanna see you for a reason." I just thought that I should throw this out there in case nobody had yet. And, honestly, I kind of agree with Jimmy on this. I mean, sure those bands were awesome or whatever, and yes, things (especially music) would be different if it hadn't been for certain bands, but you shouldn't get hung up on something like that, you know? People have different opinions, first of all, and they should be entitled to them. Also, if you're so busy saying that a specific band is the best, and you're constantly downing every other band, then you probably aren't even really paying attention to anything aside from the one that you already know you like, you have a preconceived idea in your head that you're going to hate anything else, so you do. As for the thing about "Sex Pistols Part 2", I understand that as well. What fun is music if it all sounds exactly alike, you know? Okay, so they were good or great at what they did. Leave it at that. It doesn't need to be re-done again and again. That's overkill. But, that's just my opinion on the matter... |
