Random HTDA thoughts

[marodi]

the HTDA fanboys are trying to act like its a separate thing from TR and NIN and that MQ is the star of the band and TR's role is in the background....which is nonsense....the record deal, the festival bookings, the tickets selling out quick, the attention is all because of the name TRENT REZNOR...he may be in the background during the live show, but TR is still the reason anyone takes notice...

In the grand scheme of things, all of this matters because...?

and starting a band with your wife and photog sidekick seems like a no win situation...

Why?

[brokenfragility]

@jaypayton who cares about "perception" or "why they're famous". Fame does not equal quality anyways (Nickleback could headline festivals im sure). Trent Reznor can make a new band with his wife if he wants, is he supposed to not do it just because people like you might perceive it as weird? If that was the case, I would call him a pussy bitch. As a musician myself, nothing you EVER do should be thought about from the perspective of "what are people going to think of this?". If you have an idea you think is cool, go for it. Fuck what people think. Trent Reznor can't help that his name creates fame, and he shouldn't play by different rules just because it does.

and @r_z what's the point of having a mess-age board when you can't point out the stupidity in what other people are saying. Also, you are not saying what Jaypayton is, you were kind of closer to everyone else in that post, so I really don't get where you're coming from with the statement "you people are far too sensitive. neither jaypayton nor myself said there's "a crime" or some shit like that." Pointing out stupid shit does not equal being sensitive. You're preconceptions about the people posting is what drives you to think that.

fair enough. i guess, i felt that botley's reaction to my initial post was more heated than it needed to be. hence the urge to clarify. i find this whole debate kind of pointless, too, 'though.
