Surprised this turned into a big discussion, lol. A good read on some comments here.

Some of these posts are unreal.

Lemmy is a rocker telling the straight truth about two forms of NON rock music that ****ing suck in every conceivable way. This is a "Classic Rock Forum." Go defend that non rock PISS on you tube. We true rockers aren't interested in RAP, or 21'st century pop garbage.

Rock On - or - MOVE on... Or get thee to my ****ing ignore list.

Lemmy hit the nail right on the head.

Snakes & Ladders, no one has criticized you here on CRF for your opinions on Radiohead or Porcupine Tree. You have never posted in the Radiohead thread, and you did say you thought Porcupine Tree were overrated in that thread, and not one single person questioned your opinion.

I don't see this thread as "bashing Lemmy" for his opinions, but more a heated discussion where CRF members are hashing out their own personal opinions in reaction to what Lemmy has said.

Debate is healthy, S & L, as long as it doesn't resort to personal insults. :tup:

Unfortunately, I do not have the habit of doing back-ups of posts on forums (Mony my GF is right.....I SHOULD at this point!!!:)))...I double-checked and the posts ruthlessly criticizing me for the comments I made on RH and PT have since been removed/deleted.......mhhhhh, I wonder why!!!:):omg:

S&L: I'm a huge Porcupine Tree fan and think they are one of the best artists from the last 20 years. I've seen your statements in regards to the band and it doesn't bother me in the least and haven't reponded to your criticisms at all unless it was directed at me on a personal level, which it wasn't.

Magic is right. I haven't seen anyone question your opinion on PT.

Like I said earlier S&L, I have no problem with your post in regards to PT or any other artists.

BTW, I like Lady Gaga and J-lo for other reasons than thier music.:D

No one has removed any posts that criticize you, ther is no reason to remove any posts. Posts can be edited by staff, though. If we have to remove content from a thread, the posts are "parked" in a non-viewable area of the forum. There are no posts in this non-viewable portion of the forum that criticize you.

Lemmy is a god among us. Not saying that in the pretense of being in his favor. I hate his singing style to be quite honest, but his age. His sheer presence in reality despite having lived through decades and decades of musical evolution is enough to make anything he says regarding music, relevant. Lemmy has lived through decades of time that a lot of us here on the board envy with an impossible passion. Hes seen it all folks, he has an opinion and its a bit more relevant than anyone who hasn't seen what he has seen over the years. Then again its not just lemmy, I respect any aged opinion. Its the most honest and well conceived opinion you'll be able to find really.

I feel sorry for the guy to be honest, and I almost feel this weird sense of empathy. He knows what makes his ears melt, he knows that (popularly) it was gone from most everyone's ears years ago. So he turns on popular radio, and to his horror he actually hears what we're putting out in the billboard these days. It embarrasses me to an extent, because I hear that on the radio too...and i feel no comradeship or happiness towards it even though its apart of my generation. Its a strange feeling and I'm sure lemmy is feeling something similar, he just doesn't like what he's leaving behind. Hip hop beats, electronic programming and no loud guitars. I'll bet he hated 80's pop, 70's disco pop and 60's folk music too.
