ian brown - crap/not crap

[Jangla]

but why? musically it's pretty plodding and uninspiring, not exactly a master composition, and lyrically it's just doggerel from a teenage poet's notebook. what's genius about it? i really don't understand?

x 50

honestly, this isn't a dig, i really don't understand.

Wot Rollem said...plus I like the video...and some of it really strikes a chord with me.

"genius" was perhaps a little strong but I was in a teleconference at the time and was posting quick replys so I didn't get confused and blurt out what I was typing (and typing what I was saying in the phone call - that would have really confused you! )

No option for 'obviously crap, but in a way that I quite like for some reason'?

what people love about f.e.a.r is the strings, surely? the lyrics are abominable.

don't expect brown had much to do with the orchestration though...

i don't mind him much - hated his first couple of solo albums, but he seems to be improving with age.

Too shite for words.

My ex-husband went to school in Manchester with Ian Brown and John Squire.

Brown was a skinhead with a crombie and an NF badge and went round trying to intimidate the Asian kids.

so what DOES he do?

He could sing anything in that accent and I'd fall at his feet.

it's a shame he doesn't sing at all then.

maybe if you wrote him a letter and asked nicely?

 

[IntoStella]

But he can't sing. And his lyrics are an abomination. And he looks like a fucking chimp. Look up "Waste of space" in the dictionary and there's a picture of Chimpy Brown.

big deal. i used to write racist jokes all over my exercise books and take the piss out of my mate's adopted sister being black - but i was 11 so who cares

 

[milesy]

ian brown is 40+, so i think he's had plenty of time to change since school. and going by interviews i've read/heard with him, and looking at his backing band, i doubt that there's any racism to be found there...

 

[MysteryGuest]

Ian Brown is totally feculent.

people change, and it's pretty weak to slag people based on stuff they did or said a long time ago. there are posters - well known and liked - with dodgy right wing pasts. but they're good people who do good stuff.

slag Brown off for his singing, not for something he may have done 25 years ago.

One of the best gigs I saw at Glastonbury this year.. simply because he's a good honest twat.

Thought about buying that 'unfinished monkey business' loads of times.. but just never quite done so.

Keep your snout out, eh? That was the deal, wasn't it?

It's the truth, whatever pathetic apologies anyone wants to make. He is still a total asshole. I doubt he has really changed much.

Sorry, am I supposed to give a shit?

Everybody already thinks you're a nauseating toadie. Why make it worse? Which of your friends are you going to try to get to ban me this time? You really are sickening.

Please stop these unprovoked attacks or put Dub on ignore as they only end up creating work for the mods. Thank you.

That's funny, because I used to see them both on the bus in Altrincham nearly every day, and neither of them were like that.

 

[rorymac]

I was behind him at the checkout in The Unicorn organic vegetarian shop in Chorlton .. a place to be respectful in and that's it
Was Mr Brown ?
I certainly hope so .. he seemed polite but who knows what was going on in his mind .. I guess we'll never know
