Bad Reviews of Classics

<< < (2/3) > >>

Will:
Since I just played Baba O'Riley during my request hour today, I was especially amused by this one:


--- Quote from: Some troll ---These guys are the worst of the worst when it comes to music. One, I’ve never seen them on MTV, and two, the songs are awful, radio unfriendly, and above all untalented. Like Baba O’Riley, which is just the same note over and over and something about a teenage wasteland. Whatever. And Won’t Get Fooled Again is very radio and MTV unfriednly.

And Behind Blue Eyes makes me infuriated. Why did they take a Limp Bizkit masterpiece and turn it into crap?

Avoid this like the plague.
--- End quote ---

Bold and italics mine...WTF?

mberan42:
Yeah, what the heck is up with all the Limp Bizkit references in all those reviews? Is that an Amazon review meme or something?

Will:
Unless I'm missing something, I'd assume it's in reference to Limp Bizkit's ear-rapingly fuckawful cover of Behind Blue Eyes?
Given that more than 3/4 of these have to be trolls, I have no idea, but I'd say it's similar to the mindset of people who listen to The Downward Spiral for the first time and bitch about the "cover of that Johnny Cash song Hurt."

Zingoleb:
When Johnny Cash does a song, you forget about who did it in the first place. :D

benji:
It's really hard to spot the trolls in a lot of that. I imagine the person who thought Mark Twain was even worse in the original Belgian was a troll. The person who just hopes this Twain guy doesn't write any more books? Harder to say.
