@Snowy Sauces. North London has lots of sauces. I've met journalists who have interviewed them, roadies who worked with them, shop keepers and waiters who have served them, cabbies who have driven them. The reputation of Pink Floyd is as being massive divas.
They are big mates with Jeremy Corbyn and supporters of the BDS movement too. Their uber left-wing, preachy activism matched with their personal conspicuous consumption is irritating. Roger Waters has shared a stage with known antisemites and Holocaust deniers. He claimed, without evidence, that Israel was to blame for the death of George Floyd. He accused the White Helmets of faking Asad's chemical strike on Douma in 2016.
Love the music, but can't stand them as people.
I think brilliant musicianship often goes part and parcel with being a cock.
It’s when you’re a cock AND the music is shit ( U2, Oasis, Bieber, Kanye West ) that it’s unforgivable
That's harsh, or just music people wankery , on 3 of them.
A mate of mine who was a radio DJ interviewed the Beastie Boys and they were dicks, makes it a wee bit harder to listen to someones music when you know they're dickheads.
I think Prince is one of the greatest artists of all time but he sounds like he was an absolute cock. I can seperate the two comfortably.
Michael Jackson?
Great example. Yet I’ll happily turn off Gary Glitter. I’m such a hypocrite
Yeah, I wouldn't listen to Glitter. Like I wont watch a Polanksi movie. We know those two did the crime ... it's still up in the air about MJ - and his music was a class above Glitters. So sign me up to the hypocrite club.

Kanye West's music is total shite.
Kanye's early stuff was bloody good. Then his music disappeared up his arse with the rest of him.
A bit like U2. They've done little good since Achtung Baby
Yup.

Yep, and I think that recent doco had the opposite effect on me than what it intended.

Oh and just to rub it in I've seen Waters live a couple of years ago.
I've seen him twice myself. The first he played the entire DSOTM, and second was The Wall Live. Hell of a show both of them.

Of course you'll turn him off, you're not 12

I saw him at BST Hyde Park.
Pissed/high messy Richard Ashcroft still cussing out Noel or Liam was much more fun.

I’m not quite sure why Metallica get so much grief. They’ve released some of the best hard rock in history. Sure Lars is a colossal dickwad but the other three are pretty decent guys.

Cheers. I had no idea about any of that.
I don't read the "entertainment news" or anything like that so completely clueless. Actually as far as music goes, I buy it if I like it, if the artist is a knob so be it.
