Franci!

Comment 347 is worrying for so many reasons that it's better not to think about it. It takes away my appetite and I've just thrown the pasta away.

Panic, I don't want to undervalue the Pearl Jam. Be careful with that "this is history" repeating here and there, though. Even the Pooh are history.

Rock, just don’t send an email with your first and last name to people and no one will spill the beans on you. I don’t think there are any computer geniuses among us. :)

But then... Informing oneself before listening? Music history? Who do you think I am? I've just made an observation, just that, okay?

"The phrase 'what’s this story about Even Flow plagiarizing Smells?' that you attribute to me is from SKELETRON. In fact, I started to respond to you the sentence after, wake up. You’ve put words in my mouth that I didn’t say, because I’ve never said things like 'dilettanti allo sbaraglio' (this is probably the first review of PJ that I read and comment on since I've been on DeB, if you have issues with some other user, message them privately). I only said that they’ve winked a bit, which seems plausible to me precisely because – as you say yourself – from being almost creators of the underground scene (Green River, even though some wakeful ones say they have nothing to do with it) in Seattle, they end up creating a band with a million-dollar contract already signed with a major. Then, the question of morality is always brought up by you, who consider these harmless points "annoying," so much so that I said 'you can very well love a somewhat cunning band' or something like that and I’ve never spoken negatively about PJ (and the fact that they don’t drive me crazy is my own business). Then if Alfredo comes along to remind me of my biographical traits and Panico throws victimhood titles like bimbominkia and says that Green River have nothing to do with it, I can walk away and you can have fun at my expense. Great bands defend themselves? You’re absolutely right, in fact I wasn’t here to attack anyone. You’re misdirecting too much, friends."

For me, it’s really another band because I’ve always loved them only for Staley, but that’s my problem. :) Can someone tell me about DuVall's background before he joined Alice? Great page, Alex, see you at Alcatraz!

Here are Pixies, the first two lines of your (grotesque) comment clearly show that you haven’t read a damn thing of what I wrote here. Congratulations and warm wishes.

Everything's great, Cornell. But you can comfortably say that Deep Purple were a mediocre band. Why not? You sometimes impose certain limits on yourselves...

<< What’s this story about "even flow" plagiarizing "smells"? >> Sarcasm. Pixies, I didn’t say they’re amateurs jumping on the winner’s bandwagon, that’s your snobbery. Vedder has an amazing voice, they sound incredible, and I acknowledge all that. I just said they’re a bit trendy, and I explained why. I also specified that it’s okay to like a commercial band. Don’t put words in my mouth; if anything, it’s the opposite since you’re attributing things to me that I never said or wrote. Do Venom make lo-fi metal? So what? Did I say they make hi-fi metal records? :) No, and even Metallica have always revered them. So, what the hell do you want? Is it me you have a problem with or the "Naples psycho"? If it’s me, talk about my comments and what I say, not anything else. Adios.

Three weeks later, another dot appears on the i. Sorry. :)
