Grunge isn't any more definite than Indie when it comes to describing music.

The ironic thing is your two sentences are two sentences. So don't lecture me about the English language when you can't even use it properly yourself. No one gives a shit about your opinion on Radiohead. There reaches a certain point when you're no longer expressing your opinion and you're just trolling.

They did a really awesome remix of Idiotque which totally brought the house down.. plus the whole time there was a really intense light show going on which quite possibly could have been worth the money alone. Only bad parts were finding out shirts were $40 (we only paid 5 more for our tickets) and being groped by a stranger drunk girl while she was finding her way back to her seat.

They are phenomenal live, better, if anything. If you get a chance to see them PLEASE don't pass it up. Everything sounded amazing and I'm sorry it had to end.

This is the best shot I could get, we were pretty far away but the sound was still great.

I do that all the time at shows and concerts, only time you can really get away with it.

It's in between Kid A, Amnesiac, and OK Computer... but i voted for Amnesiac because of the lack of votes. That album is so good to chill out to.

"Radiohead? I really liked that song Creep, but after that, I just didn't care for them that much."

"What? You are a moron! I seriously don't think you are smart enough to enjoy Thom Yorke's amazing gyrating vocal ensemble and you have your head too far up Dave Matthews' ass to enjoy the subtle tones produced by Johnny Greenwood's guitar. You voted for Bush, didn't you and I bet you drink Condeleeza Rice's piss. I bet you hate *** marriage too and eat red meat!!!! I just have to automatically assume you are below average intelligence and a pretentious Blink 182 loving ass just because of not liking Radiohead."

See, if everyone could be logical about it like you LLSS, then there wouldn't be a problem. And the rest of us wouldn't roll our eyes at people like DAC who says their concert is
the most excited thing to happen in his life. If that is the most exciting, I seriously feel sorry for him. One of my best friends in the world is a Radiohead fan and she doesn't get how I don't like them because she considers me very intelligent and I tell her, intelligence doesn't account for taste. I think it works both ways. You can have dumb people who like Radiohead and those who don't and can have smart people who like Radiohead and those who don't. But when Radiohead fans talk down to non-fans it just makes us hate them (the band) even more.

ok then friend, what should be more exciting then seeing one's favorite band on the planet? put opinions on the band aside, what should be more exciting? as a 19 yr old, there aren't many things that can be thrown on that list. and im sure there's plenty of zeppelin fans that would say seeing zeppelin is the most exciting thing in their lives, so why can't radiohead do that for me???

regardless i just saw them in cleveland and it was an experience that i will remember for the rest of my life

Oh and PS... I eat red meat, vote republican (the slim majority of the time), and I am not a fan of *** marriage

don't try to tell me to not lecture you on English when you can't even use the word irony correctly and can't differentiate between "english language" and basic sentence structure.

And if you didn't give a **** about my opinion you would just ignore it. you seem to be pretty upset about it given that you seem to be giving me so much time and grief about it.

well DAC, I was trying to be more tongue in cheek. And I am happy that you found some fulfillment in Radiohead. I don't have a problem with Radiohead, just don't like them. What I don't like is the Radiohead fans who are pompous A$$es about it. So no offense to those who aren't.

It seems to be you doing the most of the generalising and being a pompous ass around here.

You don't really understand irony and basic sentence structure is kind of important to the English language and no I don't really care about your opinion but you running around and going BOOHOO I HATE RADIOHEAD FANS is getting old and if you keep doing it, well I'm the moderator and you're not. Do the math.

[Piss Me Off]

In terms of obsessive fans, whatever band they're fans of they do tend to be stuck-up arseholes i'm afraid. Comes with the territory i think, it's not just Radiohead fans.
