According to this guy anyway.. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.somethingawful.com/articles.php?a=3307">http://www.somethingawful.com/articles.php?a=3307</a><!-- m -->
Sometimes this guy is spot on, other times he's a total jackass, depends who you like I guess. He takes a shot at the Hip on page 4, its not nice. Its pretty funny reading, though I don't agree with much of it, I mean the guy bashes Zeppelin for cripes sakes!!!

I've never been interested in that guy. Anyone can do what he does. In this case, take any band and write something vicious about it. If all else fails, you can just retreat into calling them pansies.
He'd be interesting if he could write, at least, but as it is he's just a geek masturbating on his keyboard for all to see.
Case in point: see how easy it was to post this? I didn't even have to think.
Boring.

You could have your own Maddox-type site. Well done.

Dr. Thorpe is great, he's the best writer on that site. He's not making fun of the bands, he's making fun of humourless fanboys. I though what he wrote about the Hip was hilarious.
Come on, don't any of you have stairs in your house?

maddox is pretty funny, I wish he would update his site more often. Again I might not agree with some of it, but its pretty funny to read.

Maddox is all satire. I'm pretty sure he doesn't actually believe 90% of the stuff he posts on his site. He is quite clever, though. My favourites are when he takes people's hatemail and posts their email addresses on his site so other fans send them hatemail. It's great.

As nuts as this guy can be, I have to agree with these:
Dave Thorpe Wrote:Atari Teenage Riot is the musical equivalent of putting a metal pot over your head and banging it with a big metal spoon whilst getting yelled at by your mom
Jack Johnson.
The man's songs are about as interesting as a mayonnaise sandwich
As for Fatboy Slim, I reserve a special kind of scorn for him. The fucking smug piece of shit makes some of the most hideous "music" that has ever fallen upon my unappreciative ears. Even in terms of shitty DJ crap, he makes the bottom of the barrel. He has no concept of structure. In every song he does he just lays out his hilariously amusing sample at the beginning, puts a beat to it, plays it over and over again, and layers more and more lame effects on it until you want to curse God for inventing sound. He also used to be in the Housemartins, the pitiful bastard.
I hated Fatboy Slim, and I don't care who likes him Jack Johnson makes me want to rip my ears off.
