Nardwuar vs. The Transplants

[@knutelindstrom3716]

I wonder if they know how much more punk rock Nardwuar is compared to everyone he's ever interviewed? Like the majority of ppl, they can't see past his voice & demeanor, but Nardwuar is as real as they come-he lives & breathes music & has encyclopedic knowledge that these two only wish they could know a fraction of! Notice how at the end they had the body guard come over & grab at Nardwuars arm holding the mic-as if there was going to be a fight or something! 3 against 1, or 2 at most if the camera guy jumped in-they were still outnumbered! Nardwuar was still a gentleman & they treated him like that-I hope he meets better ppl, cuz he deserves to interview intelligent, charismatic, & funny ppl who don't take themselves too seriously!

[@cinderful33]

So... by your logic, does that mean the annoying, unemployed fat guy who lives with his parents at the age of 40 and charged a bunch of music to his parents' credit cards, who also spends every waking moment in front of some local coffee shop talking about bands he listened to and cursing at people who refuse to bum him cigarettes is more punk rock than someone who has practiced an instrument, written, recorded, and toured their own original music? Does having an encyclopedic knowledge of other people's creations make you more valuable to the industry than someone who actually creates and produces? Sorry dude, but a long time from now, when all these people are dead and gone, society is going to remember the people who MADE the music. Not those who stood next to them, holding a microphone, asking stupid questions.

[@cinderful33]

***** Possibly a punk. I'll grant you that, Mr, but "punk rock" is widely considered to be a genre of music. I just want it to be clear to everyone who reads the comments, and especially those who DO comment negatively towards an artist based on how they treated the guy asking them the questions, the interviewer is ALWAYS on the OUTSIDE of the MUSIC SCENE. As far as the MUSIC SCENE is concerned, FAN BOYS do NOT deserve to be defended by ANYONE (including the author of the original comment I replied to) when even the WORST musicians treat them unkindly. If you want to call the Transplants douchebags for the way they responded to an interviewer that most people would perceive as annoying, fine. But putting this interviewer up on a pedestal because his FANDOM is well known among other FAN BOYS, and worse yet, to suggest that someone's FANDOM is well known enough to consider them an actual figure in the MUSIC world, that entitles someone to a bitch slap. I don't want to strike anyone, and gosh, I couldn't if I wanted to. But i guess I figured that if I could be an obnoxious dick on the internet, I could get a point across. Besides, who is going to fault me for being obnoxious anyway... Fans of an obnoxious guy who dresses and acts obnoxiously, and holds a microphone obnoxiously close to musicians?

Travis is a fuck, he believes he's the best goddamn drummer ever. And Rob is just an asshole plain and simple.

[@AnonYmous-qv9kw]

Unknown Wombat I think it doesn't matter who you are, if you're giving Nardwuar an attitude and getting an ego about shit, you actually make yourself out to look like a complete fool. Nardwuar is such an intelligent dude when it comes to music. He probably has a record collection equal to some amazing DJs out there (Shadow, Madlib) and he is so versatile. Some people he interviews have NO IDEA who they are talking to. He deserves more recognition and respect. But I'd say for the most part people love Nardwuar. How can you not?
