Now I'm curious. Can't seem to find it.
Just write it in a really small font. That'd probably be less dickish.

EDIT: Sneaky.

Sh*t on them all you like man. I don't care about that. I'm talking about relevance. Not about how much you think they're sh*t.

@Fred

And just so it's out there Fred. I like my music with more complexity as well. But I also enjoy the simpler stuff that's out there too.

I like it all man. I think its important to branch out into it all because music can grow very stagnant if you start turning your nose up at less complex stuff. There is beauty to be found in all forms of music.

I fixed it before I saw your comment because I find my own grammatical errors. Not saying I'm perfect, more so that I know how to type or write better than some. I hate coming off as illiterate. That's why I care about what I write looking proper.

I also commented on your post about it though. So I went back and found nothing. Confusion struck. But then I stopped caring due to already fixing the mistake before reading your post about it...so, yeah.

Where's the beauty in what Lil' Wayne feeds his fans then? I gave his music so many chances. The conclusion I came to was that his music was just bad in general, or that it flew over my head, I missed the point of it. Noise to my ears with horridly illiterate writing. At least he enjoys what he does. I suppose his fans do too.

The beauty is your probably three cups in on the sizzurp and having the time of your life. Who cares about actually understanding Lil Wayne at that point.

Nostalgia. Genuine interest. It doesn't matter. If the demand is there. The band is relevant. When their tours begin to fail and people stop talking about GNR and nobody is throwing millions at them to make appearances, that's when I'll agree that they've become irrelevant. Because in most cases when a bands career reaches that point, guess what? They go away.

I'd say you're abusing the term "relevant" by tying it to "interest". It's a pretty nebulous word, but it tends to imply that, at least in a musical sense, an artist still has a creative affect on the world around them (i.e. other bands hear *Album A* and are so impressed that they incorporate that band's sound into their own). Appetite for Destruction might still be "relevant" for some retro glam/rock bands, but GNR stopped being relevant in any interesting sense of the word over twenty years ago.

If you just wanna say that people still like GNR, then fine, obviously they do, but who cares? People like lots of ****ty ****, even years after they should have stopped.

I'll let you're grammar slide, Fred, because you're not a dick.

Affect is the verb. Effect is the noun. Learn to English, dumbass.

Sorry man, but you asked for it. Probably.
