Put it this way, Phil Spector has just been found guilty of murder and has allegedly threatened some greats bands at gunpoint down the years, but I'm not going to boycott the Ronettes. The mentally damaged and socially inept always make the best music anyway.
It's all about the music/lyrics, if Kanye West made earth-shatteringly revolutionary stuff I would be more sympathetic; but as it happens his personality is just the icing on the cake of his overwhelming mediocrity. Same goes for Oasis. I mention lyrics because if I'm enraptured by something and the lyrics are offensive to good taste or something I strongly disagree with it'll turn me right off

Cedric and Omar are huge pretentious cocks, but I love their music. So no.

Do artists care if the people listening to their music are *******s? Probably not.

Alfred · 04-14-2009, 02:46 PM

Kurt Cobain did.

simplephysics · 04-14-2009, 02:48 PM

the biggest ******* of them all.

musicians can't choose their fans though, they're our performing monkeys mwahahaha

The only stupid thing Kurt ever did was the repugnant human being and shameless opportunist Courtney Love

I hate bands based on what i think of the people in the bands. GG allin is a prime example. Sure its pretty good punk rock, but GG is a piece of ****. Someone that can go around molesting people, does not get my support regardless of how good there music is. Skrewdriver and countless other right wing bands are the same story.

I think you have a wrong perception of music.
Now your opinion is totally understandable and plausabile but (IMO), if you like the music, then you should listen to it & dont worry about what I would call 'shallow minded people' who say 'dont listen to that because hes this that or the next thing'. Now Im not defending what he does but making a point that hating him isnt an valid excuse to hate his music (IMO).
Now, I dont like his music to be honest & wouldnt bother listening to it but to me he is obviously talented as an entertainer & I think it is just too easy for you to hate bands based on who the people are.
Like a previous poster said, you wouldnt hate a book because of the author.
I would much prefer it if people would have a much more open mind when it came to music. To me it doesnt matter if the person is an ******* as its irrelevant when you to listen to a song (IMO).
