| Nirvana – The Man Who Sold the World (David Bowie cover) Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Guitar player especially rag on Nirvana because practically all the guitar work on their albums was very simple and easy to learn. Anyone with a brain however will be aware that difficulty has no real bearing on the quality of the music. Nirvana was good, they were somewhat catchy, just accept it. And speaking as someone who has A) chronic depression they're whole life, and B) kicked heroin/opiates repeatedly... (and also C for someone who hates identifying themselves by their issues)...uh, what was my point? Oh yeah, he totally killed himself. If there truly is a god up there and he is a giant retard like some people seem to believe then sure, maybe Courtney Love got together w/El Duche from The Mentors and George Bush Sr. and Andre the Giant's ghost and staged Kurt's suicide to cover up the murder. Even if that actually happened, he still would've killed himself eventually so it's a moot point. When you're hooked on dope your whole day revolves around either the acquisition of dope and/or the enjoyment of said smack. Once you're rich and have all you could ever need then your tolerance shoots through the roof, so you'll never feel as good as you remember again (the only alternative being to stop for awhile, which is hard enough to cover up when you're not famous). Plus he had a kid which puts your head in a whole new place. Plus he must've realized who the mother was at some point of lucidity and gotten high again to suppress the horror. Yes, he killed himself. And guess what? It was a good thing. Yup. The alternatives could be: seeing a commercial for Kurt Cobain on the next episode of Celebrity Intervention (during a Jersey Shore commercial), Kurt going through rehab so much that Lindsey Lohan looks normal, not able to write music anymore (much more challenging after sobriety) or worse writing crappy music. Yes, "crappy" is a subjective term, but think about this: heroin addiction is highs and lows, and everything feels/sounds/look/smells like crap when you're low. Maybe all his music started sounding lousy to him. Who knows? The reason I'm here, simultaneously hijacking and pulling a 6yr necropost, is because I recently rediscovered the David Bowie version and forgot how much better it is. Really. He speaks English and everything. Cool flange effect on the vocals. Way better song (and the Bowie version's page doesn't have nearly as many useless insipid comments, so that's a plus too :-) |

Oh sorry, might've forgotten to mention it: Bullshit |
|
| Interpol – Roland Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Man, now I'm mad at myself. You said one of the dumbest things you said (and there was a lot to pick from) right there at the beginning: that people should have concrete evidence to support their hypothesis. Do you happen to know what a hypothesis is? Does it come before or after a theory? If you take "theory" "hypothesis" and "scientific fact" which one does concrete evidence go with? Forget it, you basically said everyone's stupid for not having proof of their interpretive guesses. Then you tried to extricate yourself from that by making the bold move of just saying you spoke to the band, which aside from being stupid and most likely a lie, still isn't proof unless you talk to the person who wrote the lyrics, or the singer since inflection has a lot to do w/interpretation too. Shit, probably wouldn't have wasted my time on the other stuff. Oh well, another moron down, twelve million to go | |

Nice, unlike Bobster you're not looking for excuses to AVOID reading books. Oft repeated point about why ask Kessler when Banks wrote the lyrics, strangely Bobster never commented on that. My final thought, since I don't think anyone put this out there, is when did we hold our rock stars up to some sort of intellectual standard? How the hell am I supposed to give evidence and substantiate my opinion (difficult and contradictory) based on the lyrics of some dude with a guitar (impossible)? Bobster, go analyze InaGaddadaVida or whatever it's called. Know who likes drugs? Give up? Rock stars. Name a profession that doesn't even require a high school degree: well, there's several but rock star is in there too. With Interpol, I don't think any of that's the case necessarily, but still. Maybe it was about whats-his-nuts w/the poison and Banks misread the mustache part. Or vice versa. I doubt he thought he was going to have to take a test afterward. I bet Kessler was surprised when big bad Bobster showed up w/his mom asking for an autograph on his Trapper Keeper and demanding lyrical interpretations and the secret to time travel (all of which would've been necessary for all his crap to pan out). |
|
| Interpol – Roland Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| See, that's the thing w/people like that. They throw out whatever half-informed crap they decided they "know" (I've personally found that most assholes "know" all kinds of things and are rarely vague on any subject, even the ones they know little or nothing about) then talk a bunch of shit and frustrate everyone. Way to see past that. Now I'm definitely rereading Slaughterhouse Five. | |
| Interpol – Roland Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Finally. Minds greater than mine managed to summarize this succinctly and perfectly. Gracias | |
| Interpol – Roland Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Right about everything? Or the meaning of the song? If you read his posts and are saying he's definitely righyt about all of that, then.... uh.... good luck w/all that banging around up in your skull. | |
| Interpol – Roland Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Yeah, I thought it was funny no one else had mentioned why Kessler would know what the lyrics were about. I'm pretty sure he didn't write them, and I'm damn sure he wouldn't have sat there after the show with Boobster discussing the metaphysical meaning of the lyrics to one of their sillier, older songs (my opinion only). Bobster's an idiot. I spoke earlier about the lack of absolutes in life, but thanks to him I found another one. | |
| Interpol – Roland Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
They weren't bickering about the meaning of the song (understandable mistake since that's what this website is for). Bobster was making the point that everyone is stupid, especially compared to him, and Ethilien was making the point that by doing that Bobster was being a prick. Roundabouts anyway. Though eventually, at the very end, it did indeed bop over to the lyrics again. (Link is dead unfortunately, though not surprisingly after all this time) |
|
| Interpol – Roland Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I hope you didn't pick on yourself. Things slip my mind too when someone starts being a shithead and calling everyone names. Generally implies that they've got other things on their mind than the topic at hand. And he needed to vent all that poisonous shit out (on strangers, like a real man) before he could actually start discussing things. Think it took a year though so not super impressive, but still | |
| Interpol – Roland Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Hey, your first comment where you didn't completely plummet and act like a whiny little shit who just learned how to pick on people. Good job! Of course, you're still a dick so it's all kinda irrelevant at this point. But still, this is the point where you've actually begun participating in a dialogue and tried to exchange information. Too late but still, keep it up sport!! | |
| Interpol – Roland Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Hell, I've been listening to these guys for a few years and I don't even know all their names. I just keep thinking whiskey when he oh-so-casually keeps name dropping (yes, I do realize it's the name of someone in the band, thank you). I'm scared to see how retarded this gets. Though I'm actually kinda curious about the whole Slaughterhouse Five theory now. Hey Bobster, it's a short book. I could read it in a few hours so......what, a couple weeks? You can do it. Just sound out the letters big guy | |
| Interpol – Roland Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| One person agreed to your INTERPRETATION of the lyrics. I assume gingervitis up there agreed with the shitty way you went about it too, though that wasn't stated. But yes, you found yourself a friend. Good job Bobby. All that training has finally paid off. That you feel you've won is fucking hilarious. Unfortunately it's one of those things that won't pay off until you go showing off your "victory" and show how much of an idiot you are. I'd love it if you make a "sincere effort" to show how Ethilien was embarrassing him/herself, and do it without name calling or any other filler in place to distract people from your lack of a point. | |
| Interpol – Roland Lyrics | 12 years ago |

Uh, Bobster "nailed" what the song probably means. Not a terribly impressive accomplishment (think Evil) but he was first, and I'm sure that matters greatly to him. The issue is how he's being such a fucking dick about it. I'm gonna go ahead and assume you're female, since I've encountered way too many women that get off on getting treated like shit, and Nob-gobbler there seems like just the type. And I am gonna go ahead and make another wild assumption and guarantee he's single right now. Go get em (Oh, and the funniest part about this, for me anyway, is I don't even like this song. I wanted the spanish part from the Undoing and got curious. Why? Because Roland used to make drum machines, Sisters of Mercy incorporated their drum machine into things, figured I'd take a peek. Then I saw the dumbest thing I've ever seen, this week, and here I am). Debating Bobster is like arguing with leeches: Pointless, but will continue to suck unless you kill him. |
|
| Interpol – Roland Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Yeah, I'm 8yrs later myself, but it's some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen so I had to make an account and post. The website is called song meanings you fucking asshole. If everything had to be proven with facts then the site wouldn't fucking exist, you monstrously massive fucking moron. Well, I guess it might exist as long as all you guys that are tight w/the band grace us with the facts of abstract music lyrics (if you can't see what's wrong w/that sentence then....well, you're you Bobster). Clarifying what an imbecile you are is getting tiring, but I'll try and keep it up. | |
| Interpol – Roland Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Nice, but he'll find a way to learn absolutely nothing, and probably spew up some more bullshit to distract you from his empty sack of facts. | |
| Interpol – Roland Lyrics | 12 years ago |

Hey, you said "imbecile" again. Good job on using your words Bobby-wobby. I personally didn't look at your dates becuase...well, they're bullshit. So now, it's not about all that other bullshit you used, since that crumbled even faster than I thought. Now you're offended because people aren't making a "sincere effort?" I assume you're the one to judge whether or not someone put in enough sincerity from wherever they are on the planet? God help them. You're once again doing the ol' projecting thing. You're dancing around, switching focus, not practicing what you preach, then accusing someone else of doing that. Cocksuckers like you are so especially pointless and awful because there's no way to have a rational discussion w/you. Why? I'm sticking w/the rape baby theory (see previous posts re: Bobster's questionable heritage). Is this the only way you get off or something? Causing chaos and frustrating the fuck out of people for thinking logically. Ethilien has become the sole focus of all your self-hatred, and all for the crime of....what? You yourself said he did everything you did, made the "sincere effort" and all that, but now you're going "neener neener, you're an imbecile" as you flip between this and gay bukkake or whatever you're into. The amount of child abuse you endured must have been staggering, at least judging by the amount you deserved. You're the one acting like a child and again, accusing someone else. Fortunately, there is absolutely NOTHING that I can say that will be more punishing than what you're going to do to yourself everyday just by trying to be as smart as you wish you were. Actually, if you kept up this amount of douchebaggery in the interim eight years then you most likely bumped into some people who aren't full of shit, and some of those guys don't take kindly to the whole teenage girl debate tactics you seem so fond of. Please go suck a dick. I'm hoping you'll take to it as much as I suspect and will thereby remove the threat of you reproducing (which is waaaaay scarier than anything North Korea could do in my opinion). You stupid imbecile, you |
|
| Interpol – Roland Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Hahaha, this is awesome! I didn't preread all this so I'm just kinda reacting as I go. You noticed that whole "jackass" thing too, eh? He hides it so well. Good point at the end too; I missed that. | |
| Interpol – Roland Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Oh cool, you looked up their tour dates. You could've been there, I suppose. Probably 200ft back you yelled "nod your head if you agree w/me" and.......he did! Holy shit, you guys are like best buds. Just like that time you gave Vanilla Ice the idea to use that sample from Under Pressure for Ice Ice Baby. Seriously man, I thought you were a total retard until I found out that guys in a band will talk to people for a couple minutes after the show. Now, it's all different, because now I KNOW you're a total retard. Retard. (No offense to retarded people; you've got enough problems. Though you've still got it better than ol' Bobster by a long shot) |
|
| Interpol – Roland Lyrics | 12 years ago |

Oh my god, you're such a fucking hypocrite!! "Nice try" you say? Yeah, someone almost tricked you into reading a book, expanding your mind, etc. But hey, what the fuck am I saying? You're buds w/Kessler. Talk about supportable and coherent! "I don't need to read anything, the guy in the band told me. Yeah, we were hanging out after the show and I decided I'd be totally cool and ask him what the lyrics meant for the song he didn't write the lyrics too. So he totally told me and we hung out and it was totally awesome. Almost as cool as that time I met George Lucas and he gave me a REAL lightsaber. Because I'm the Bobinator and I'm sooooo fucking cool and badass (when I can hide behind anonymity and the internet like the total chickenshit piece of shit that I am)." Geez, I've seen some starfuckers but you take the cake w/the whole fake wannabe starfucker thing. Imagine aspiring to be a fake version of something that sucks anyway. Pretty sweet. Oh, and "if people WANT to insult songs and songwriters" then "I'm free to insult them and their ideas, right?" Well, I guess I could give you props for putting some question marks in there. But since they're rhetorical why bother? No, if people WANT to say things about songwriters and their songs, it doesn't follow that you have the right to insult them and their ideas. No, that is completely flawed logic comparing to things that aren't the same. All you do was justify the songwriters retaliating, not yourself. "Your case" got jumped on because you started it dipshit. You're the one who started calling people names. You insulted people's intelligence with practically nothing to back it up. And, much like your mother, you're asking for it. You are an imbecile. I hope you try and dispute that so that you can go about proving it that much more. But truly, the best part is the last part. Do you honestly think your words have the power to make anyone feel defeated? Even if you took out the 5th grader name-calling you'd still be a close-minded jerk. If you're actually somehow pals w/someone in this band, then I kinda don't want to listen to them anymore. Well, I will but I won't pay them. You will never see the logic in what other people say, or at the least refuse to admit it. All your bullshit just proves how much you care that you're right, and it's you that's sulking. No, you're too dumb to feel defeated, but you're sulking. Guaranteed. You are such a douche. If you do read this, please reply. I would just love to see what you look like. (Nevermind. I looked up "hydrocephalus" and there he was. Fugly mofo too, not just stupid) |

| Interpol – Roland Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| He can't read. Well, he can in the sense that he's literate enough, but it's hard to see the pages what with all the nutsacks in his face all day (he said they're hiring if anyone wants a recommendation). | |
| Interpol – Roland Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Oh, you said "an real effort" didn't you? Ah hahaha, what a dumbass!! You can't even write in English can you? You're so stupid. Such a "jackass" too. I'm fairly certain he wasn't saying anything about his and your hypotheses versus everyone else, you just turned it into that. Maybe all these people you feel so superior to didn't feel that it was worth their time to assemble their evidence, make sure their guesses are supportable (supportable and guess? Wow, you really think those go together don't you?), then write out a bibliography and concisely lay out their thesis for a comment on a website about freaking song lyrics. But I'm being unfair. They probably have jobs and lives and you don't so it's really apples and oranges. I'll be sure to hold your belligerent bullshit to a lower standard from now on. Oops, damnit! I used big words again. You're clearly one of those ESL people so I'll try and keep things simple. Interpretation is just that. You can't really fuck it up. You can interpret things in seemingly stupid and bizarre ways (see people who first said Earth was spherical and your parents deciding to have a child) but it's still just opinion. I guess one could judge the basis of someone's opinion, if they happened to share, but it's all opinion. The whole "check and mate" thing is just sad. Maybe you got it from your dad. Like, "check" to make sure there's no cops around, then find your next mentally challenged rape victim to be and "mate" with her. But hey, I'm forgetting. There's no absolutes in life. I'm probably wrong about you being a rape baby. But I can still act like I'm right, and that everyone who disagrees is wrong and stupid, as long as I follow your rules. Okay, so....coherent, supportable guesses? Sure, here's why I think you're a rape baby: - when I was trying to gauge how big of a moron you were, I had some slight difficulty, seeing as how you managed to be fairly literate (I do thank you for that at least). Your personality is so atrocious and flawed that my first thought was incest. You know, aberrant genes and brain damage that result from extended interbreeding. But on the intellectual level, you're at least functionally retarded so there went that theory. - therefore, since I can't find a genetic/scientific excuse for you, I can only deduce that one of your parents must have been relatively okay. So now we're dealing w/one normal-ish person and one raging asshole w/serious logic issues (I'm sure there's myriad other defects and problems, but I'd rather stick w/the facts and not assume). - Now how did such a piece of shit manage to have sex w/the other normal partner? Well, I figure either force or roofies. These..er, "methods" both indicate that the female was the normal one, due to the logistics of rape and/or roofies. - trucking on w/the scientific method here, I have a hypothesis. Now to test it: so Bob (father) is walking down the street, and he's all pissed off because people were being stupid on the Ace of Base fanclub forum (or whichever other intellectual haven you'd have to be an utter mongoloid to expect a high degree of intelligent comments from) and he sees this girl, say Bobbi (kinda rhymes w/mommy). He gets upset for several reasons. A) she's one of the many (hell, all) girls who've rejected him for being a petty ankle-biting blowhard. B) he's jealous because her eyes aren't 3" apart, doesn't have a pronounced, jutting brow and her ankles don't hit the ground when she slouches. And C) I'm getting bored so fuck it. Anyway, you're cro-magnon afterbirth of a father rapes her (I'm tossing the whole roofie idea since that would require at least a small degree of finesse, which you're clearly lacking. Along with dignity, tact and a bunch of other words you don't use since you're apparently quite happy w/stupid people and see no reason to be positive rather than negative or actually inform anyone). Actually, he probably held her down and made her take the roofies instead, totally misunderstanding the purpose of them. Anyway, yeah I got it. So your mom isn't entirely normal since she carried you the whole 9 months w/out jumping off a cliff or chugging Pennyroyal tea all day, so that must be where that overwhelming desperation vibe comes from. Even though he was a sub-Forrest Gump rapist, she was still so happy to become even remotely special that she kept being pregnant. Choosing infamy over fame, that whole thing. I'd almost feel sorry for you, but rather than avoiding past mistakes, sins of the father, etc. you've instead taken the torch and run with it. Please say sorry to everyone you see everyday for the rest of your life. For me. |

This is an interesting theory. It's been awhile since I read it (and is one of my least favorite Vonnegut books) but I think you're idea does fit. However, I kinda think the Jack the Ripper concept makes more sense. Especially when you look at the lyrics to Evil which also reference murderers. But your second theory, that Bobster has his head up his ass, is totally sound. Some may disagree, saying that even the most beat up and blown out state prison ass could never accommodate a human cranium, but to them I politely disagree (except for Bobster, who can continue to go funk himself, unless he's scrounged up enough money to pay a chick with a bad crack habit to actually debase herself even farther by screwing him). One interesting thing is, Nob-bobber up there does "know" more than many others. However, life is rarely black or white and mainly shades of grey. Meaning there's not too many absolutes in life (unless you've decided to have a very limited life). Every time you think you know something for a fact, you're done learning. Now it's just waiting to be proven wrong, or maybe actually being right (having found one of the few things that has one "right" and one "wrong" answer for everyone. But see, now the responsibility is totally on you. If you're wrong, you look stupid (see Bobster's greatest fears). If you're right, you can spread that knowledge and teach people, which may not be your job, but is in everyone's best interest. Or, you can be right and be a total asshole about it, thereby creating an aversion to your viewpoint/supposed wisdom and driving people away from you and towards the thing you profess to have such a problem with. |
|
| Interpol – Roland Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Wow, I'm sorry | |
| Interpol – Roland Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| No, it wasn't. The logic was sound but congratulating people for being rude and name-calling seems like an odd thing to do, assuming you don't want to be dealing with a-holes all day long (which is what you encourage, and to some degree create, by reinforcing such behavior). | |
| Interpol – Roland Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Wow, you're such a raging tool I actually made an account just to inform you (though I'm sure your parents, teachers and one ex-girlfriend probably reinforced that adequately enough that I need not bother). And yes, I'm totally necroposting but I have a feeling someone as desperately elitist and self-involved as yourself just might be anal enough to check responses to your 8yr old post. I do think the Jack the Ripper theory is probably best, but you were such a condescending asshole about it that you totally negate your point and drive people away that you may have informed, though clearly that wasn't your main intention. The only puzzling part is how a douchebag like you would be an Interpol fan. Though I've read some of the comments here and deduced that not all their fans are geniuses, Interpol never struck me as a band that would make a good soundtrack for being an asshole. You strike me as more of an Eminem fan. I'm sure that's because I'm stupid and not because you're a hostile asshole. Which you are. Mainly the asshole part (your hostility lacks any sort of threat what with the degree of pettiness you displayed). So anyway, yeah, you're a tool. You used all your big words and made sure to double check for punctuation errors and all that (preemptively preparing for a fight. I believe the therapists call it "projection." In this case, you are condescending, anonymously pick on people you know next to nothing about, think anyone can be "right" about anything, etc. So, you "project" that onto others and therefore defend yourself from people as ugly as yourself. Thankfully they aren't as numerous as I once feared. Seeing as how you have to breed to keep the fucktard population alive and aside from forcing your sister or something, I can't imagine any woman being willing to carry your DNA to term after you've opened your mouth). Allrighty Nob-bobber, now on to finding the rest of the bullshit you spewed from your hole | |
