you guys like Wolfmother?

He's cocky but he's right. I'd rather drink his piss than listen to Wolfmother.

As long as you're not a Yankees fan.

Patton has more creativity in his left buttcheek than Wolfmother will ever have as an entire group. His personality...well...is intense. So was Zappa's.

Mike Patton would fit in perfectly among us here at PA. He's got the right attitude.............................................

It doesn't really matter if a band is modern, ahead of it's time, or lost in time and space. It's MUSIC that counts.

And I love Wolfmother a lot. For some reason, they clicked with me. Actually they hit me hard with their musical and lyrical details. I can go that far and say they're one of top 5 musical discoveries for me in last two years, and I believe I had investigated quite a lot of various music in the meantime, both old and new.


They're SINCERE. Just listen to the drummer: it's not about his technical skill or his style - but he puts all of his heart and stamina into the drumming, it's almost childish. How could I dislike such a band?

But to ask the question:

Yeah, I quite like them. Especially in smaller doses.

Oh, and not to mention that his comments in that video also implied that anybody who likes Wolfmother is an idiot.

"Are people THAT stupid? I guess they are!"

Yeah, that's hilarious, Mike. You're a bundle of laughs. Really.

I mean, I'm not saying I don't respect Patton as a musician. He's brilliant, but as an aspiring musician myself, I would hate to think that somebody would mock me behind my back simply because they personally don't like my music. It happens all the time, but usually it comes from laypeople who don't have any talent whatsoever, so those comments end up not really amounting to much.

But when someone of the stature and talent of Patton makes comments like that, they hold more weight, and are likewise bound to be more damaging to someone with thinner skin.

I guess I just feel that in the music community, everybody should be supportive of each other, regardless of personal taste, and if you don't like someone's work, be honest about it, but you don't have to go out of your way to insult a whole band including their fanbase. That's just . . . immature.

Probably a very naive view for me to have, I know, but it's just logical to me that people in the same biz would want to support each other rather than be so competitive and hateful as people seem to be becoming more and more.
