In keeping with NME's ridiculous list-making history, this week's issue lists the 50 coolest people in rock, with Mr. White topping the list. http://www.nme.com/news/103355.htm Sadly, Metrocorazon came in just off the list in 56th place, right after Meat Loaf and before the Times Square Singing Naked Cowboy.
NME are a bag of c_nts. They are so up their own buttholes they eat their food twice, and they have pet bands they bum-lick all the time (e.g. Gay Dad, Terris). NME hate Shed 7 for no other reason apart from they think it's cool to slag them off. As for Jack White, if you can be the coolest man around by sticking your love wand in your big breasted drummer and sounding like Bob Dylan (the two not necessarily linked), well music is a bit pants at the moment. And whilst I'm on the topic of magazines Q have proven themselves to be even more of a joke by voting Radiohead the best band around today EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NOT MADE A SONG IN OVER A YEAR. The fact they are Radiohead's publishing wing, and that the boring Coldplay win best album has not exactly raised my opinion of them one jot. And don't get me started on Keerrang.............
I was not aware that Gay Dad or Shed Seven were still existent. Shows you where I've been. You learn something every day.
Perhaps, everyone who works for Q flew to Portugal to see one of RH's four shows this past year, and can say definitively that they were the most transcendant experiences in the history of popular music. Or maybe Thom on the cover sells more magazines. Your call.
Noted. I always thought Jack Black was the coolest guy in rock, but as they say, White is the new Black.
