erm yeah they would

Are you just pissed off that they don't review Cliffs stuff anymore?

EDIT: Obviously they're nothing compared to your band. Sorry what were you called?

riverghost servicing your mum since, Tue 10 Apr 2007, 10:56, archived)

I apologise

I know it's not a good start when i post something that instantly kicks a little controversy. Which band do you like from that platter? I actually don't mind a few songs i just dont like the idolising of the bands.

(erniebilko, Tue 10 Apr 2007, 11:00, archived)

Well just from working in the music industry I know what a load of twat that statement is.

(

riverghost servicing your mum since, Tue 10 Apr 2007, 11:01, archived)

^this.

NME review bands and promote them - but they have to be established enough for NME to take notice, so they'd exist anyway.

Also there are far, far worse music mags out there.

wastedindustry yes indeed sir, Tue 10 Apr 2007, 11:03, archived)

ever read "Cider with roadies" ?

that wasn't always the case

in the past NME has created the demand so to speak

"romo" being one of the worst examples

VampireMonkeyOnSpeed a super sexy sexual sex terrorist sex, Tue 10 Apr 2007, 11:08, archived)

True, I admit.

They do help bands become established. However, I doubt Razorlight or the Arctic Monkeys were brought into existence purely by NME.

true

arctic monkey were brought into existance purely by myspace

(

VampireMonkeyOnSpeed a super sexy sexual sex terrorist sex, Tue 10 Apr 2007, 11:13, archived)

arctic monkeys was brought in by myspace

which doesn't improve matters, to be perfectly honest.

(emcake putting a donk on it since, Tue 10 Apr 2007, 11:14, archived)

They still do

But I belive in the case of the Artic Monkeys it's well documented that they're self made. But we still get some twunt student that'll be an accountant in two years to knock their achievements!

dragon drop : worlds best self-deprecator, Tue 10 Apr 2007, 11:02, archived)

It's not controversial, just a bit of a sweeping statement

You say since 1952 but only mention very recent bands.

Plus to be fair they've helped thousands of excellent bands. Many I guess you also like.

But nice entrance :D

I only ever saw Razorlight once

At Hyde Park calling just before the Who, can't say I liked them.

(I R Advertiser How can you live like this you're out of control?, Tue 10 Apr 2007, 10:57, archived)

i've never seen them

but if they were on the radio they wouldn't have me frantically changing the station like the rest of em

(danecobain I have a new sig!, Tue 10 Apr 2007, 10:59, archived)

I don't...

really listen to the radio much anymore. I don't like the fact they're headlining Reading.

(I R Advertiser How can you live like this you're out of control?, Tue 10 Apr 2007, 11:00, archived)

Nah nor me

But then again I don't really like any music made in the last 25 years lawl.

And this years line-up at reading looks like a big pile of crap, I think there were only two bands there that I even slightly like

(danecobain I have a new sig!, Tue 10 Apr 2007, 11:04, archived)

Same,

Might go to Download instead.

Most definitely. It was really only after Melody Maker vanished that NME started eating their own shit.

Kaiser Chiefs, write a fairly decent album.

Write new album, based on same songs, but changed very slightly.

Profit
