Re: The All-Asshole Band
I actually support Lars for drummer, but I think Ginger Baker deserves at least a nomination. Total shithead.

Dark horse drummer candidate: Mo Tucker, who went Tea Party / birther after Obama was elected.

Re: The All-Asshole Band
And I know it would be redundant, but surely Bernie Rhodes and this band deserve each other?

Re: The All-Asshole Band
Way too many managers would fit the bill. Almost by default they're predatory and corrupt. Even in Bernie's special awfulness, there's an argument that McLaren did it better/worse.

Re: The All-Asshole Band
OH yeah, that's a good one. Mo Tucker's just seems like old white people shit and she's not famous enough for it to reverberate like Clapton.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: The All-Asshole Band
Still need someone who plays synths. Are any of the Depeche Modes assholes? Any of those 70s prog guys?

Johnny Rotton is pretty lovable.

Moon would be an okay pick. Didn't he run someone over? Tommy Lee also seems like a jerk.matedog wrote: ↑13 Oct 2021, 3:49pmHis voice doesn't help perception of him either. Napster stuff is pretty indefensible though. Beyond that he seems alright. Not sure who else would get it beyond the typical wife beating, alcoholic misogynists like Moon or Bonham.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑13 Oct 2021, 1:49pmIt takes a bold dick to claim outsider status yet also side with record industry against the fans.

Good call. I'm giving Ginger the nod over Lars.

Re: The All-Asshole Band
He's a conservative douche bag and an old crank. I've heard that Mike is far nicer than most people think, but that Bruce has a huge ego and generally can't be bothered to interact with fans.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑13 Oct 2021, 5:22pmBesides working with Mike Love for half a century—good lord, is he insane?—what's he done that qualifies?WestwayKid wrote: ↑13 Oct 2021, 5:19pmHow about Bruce Johnston or have we already reached our Beach Boy quota?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑13 Oct 2021, 4:21pmStill need someone who plays synths.
