Why Is Matty Healy Such A Pain In The A**?!

- Today I'm happy to be reporting on the return of the rockstar feud. However, I want to talk about why I think characters like Matty Healy and Yungblud are important for our culture, even if some of you may find either of them insufferable. Let me know how you feel about "feuds" and if you think the Trickster energy is important for culture, to challenge each other and keep us on our toes. Or do you just flat out hate anything like this? Do tell.

That line about standing "against the most morally obvious stuff" gets more profound the more you think about it. And funnier.
He says that but his new show was just a conglomerate of the most "morally obvious", woke, left wing views that he could think of. The hypocrisy is laughable.
@@adambradley4293 but i feel like the whole show was him taking the piss out of that … it’s a weird cycle to get in to, because it sort of acts as criticism of what you are, but it also acts as a safety net for any criticism because you can just say you were already criticising it… but i still think it’s done well, because it hasn’t been done before - but it doesn’t need to be done again (as is the case with all art) which is one of the reasons why Youngblud’s poor knock off of the 1975’s show is so poor
This is the case with a lot of these "politically charged" pop stars (or rather their management teams...), and people in general. You think racism is bad? Wow, what a brave and controversial statement!
@@adambradley4293 yeah, the dude is a massive hypocrite. But he also thinks he's in a revolutionary band when all the songs I hear from them are either just naff, basic pop records or poor knock-offs of stuff that has been done years before (paul simon, vampire weekend etc).
And I have no issue with young, idealistic pop stars with naive, over-simplistic, trendy view points, it's nothing new and their hearts are generally in the right place. I do have an issue with Healy trying to play both sides though.
HAY GUYZ DON'T BE BAD.
Can we just all take a minute to appreciate the green striped sweater + moustache + glasses +nose piercings combo 🙇
Nope
I was just thinking the same.
Diligence duly done.
Justin could be reviewing wallpaper and I’d still be appreciating all of the above ❤
so true…
I totally agree that you should interview Matty Healy. I’d love to hear you both discuss the notion of the trickster.
Yesss yessss yessss
Matty is pretty tongue & cheek about things and is open about it.
In. Tongue IN cheek. Ffs
@None Ya he's definitely smashing his tongue in a lot of 18 year old girls at his concerts, hah.

That Oasis rant is absolutely fantastic, love Matt
Love this stuff, we need people to disrupt and start a conversation at this moment in time. We're in danger of becoming like those bobble head dogs, nodding in the back of a car.
love ya Justin, always providing a very nuanced angle on pop culture lol
Totally agree that it's refreshing for people to say what's on their mind. I don't have to agree with what they say but welcome the freedom to say it
Justin should get Matty on the show like he did Rick Beato, that would be such a fun interview!
Right first things first, iv just spent exactly 6 days watching everyone of your "Rides again" videos back to back and literally watched the last one as this was posted so great timing 😀
Send him your hospital (psychiatric) bill.
Yungblud is a product. His music, thoughts, presentation are all nothing more than what the industry thinks we need and sadly people lap it up. He’s a construct. Matt is saying what’s in his own head, even if it creates friction, you can hear the difference and it makes you want to listen. We’ve made it so easy for people by protecting them from conflict that friction has become an endangered beast, but we need so much more friction, to generate honest conversation, which leads to growth and understanding. I love that managers are thanking each other, just as much as I love Matt creating friction, it’s the balance of the two that we need, to help us form our own thoughts and opinions through the different experiences. We don’t stretch our brains enough anymore and don’t know how to respond to differing opinions without hate, which is dumbing us down.
Typical boomer " it was better in my day. Young people today have it so easy" oooook boomer.
@@harrybirchall3308 just because morons have made similar points about less justifiable subjects, doesnt make this a moronic point by any means. People who moan about cancel culture are indeed morons. But people who bemoan a lack of critical dialogue are the ones who are making a valid and necessary point. Unfortunately, the byproduct of the morons is that the smart people can't make such arguments in good faith without it being tainted by morons on twitter. "without hate" is a key part of the argument here. not a boomer take to want a healthy but challenging discourse. I think that's actually the entire point of this video...
@@lunchb0x1986 Not a boomer (or even close) but very proud to have received my first OK boomer, so thank you!!! You proved my point perfectly :) I didn’t say anyone had it easy, but that challenges have been progressively removed in the last couple of decades, and that means the resilience isn’t there. That’s proven over and over in research. And life’s much tougher now, which is why it’s sad that resilience isn’t there because it’s going to make it much harder for you.
@@harrybirchall3308 My point extends well past the video topic, this relates to every day conversations as much much as this exchange. It’s easier to just label people than to rebut or provide a different point of view in a constructive manner. People are too afraid to say their piece in fear of “cancellation” even in real life, and that’s sad.
Matt Healy is a bellend lol
Musician fueds are always comedy gold. GNR vs Nirvana, Oasis vs Blur. Is great to see it make a comeback.
You can tell just from the music that Matty is a lot brighter than YungBlud - and for all his silliness, Matty is probably actually quite a funny and sharp bloke. YungBlud is an industry plant. He’s a product. Matty has already shown him up.
Couldn't agree more.
I mean, after watching the Louis Theroux Interviews episode with YungBlud I tend to lean the same way as you.. banging on about his traumatic upbringing, being working class etc and then cut to a middle class house where the whole family is sat around drinking tea together and it's all really nice..
You clearly have never watched an interview of Yungblud or actually listened to his music and lyrics
@@LenainFarbe you clearly didn't read my comment..
@@ChrisJohnson-ld3wq oh no I have.. and if you actually did you wouldn't say that
Matty obviously does it with intelligence and a real sense of humour, Yungblud is just embarrassing, like a kid copying
Exactly
They’ll both end up with extra attention and publicity from this, and ultimately income. A smart business move from both sides whether intended or not.
Matt Healy's a nonce though.
@@ThingyRPG I don’t think you know what that word means
@@abbyhuntley3171 Definitely do! 👍
Love him or hate him, Matty Healy is one of the most interesting people in the music world right now, at least in my opinion
Agreed. He’s quite intelligent and you can tell through his music, lyricism, and conceptual ideas in this latest tour. Yungblood totally ripped him off he just really missed the mark.
On the podcast, Matt did Asian hate. I wish that podcast would go away
@@shinxx0055 What did he say
He's a modern day Morrissey with the same attitude but without the actual good songs😂
@@shinxx0055 no, he did jokes. Big difference.
I'd love to see your take on Metric "False Dichotomy," which I heard for the first time tonight. I came to post this before watching this video, and am now fascinated by the odd way that the universe appears to be working. Excellent content as always; thank you!
Thanks for the beautiful comments, i really appropriate your love ❤and concern towards my career, may god bless you, we're you supporting from?
Justin & Mr Healey, thank you for my smile & I love your honesty & joy within the alcohol free champagne, now that’s rocknroll
I want to applaud you for showcasing this topic. I love it when we can share our opinions, in a critical way, which argues “ideas”. What I cannot tolerate is “cancel culture”, which demonizes a “person”. Thank you 🙏
Cancel culture is a complete myth perpetuated by the tabloids..
I agree, this whole "cancel" culture thing is just stupid and shows what kind of egos some have. We all have an ego, but some just abuse it for their own agenda.
@@71771PAULTHEWALLOFSOUND
What is counsel culture? You don’t even know what this made up nonsense is called haha
He also has a dry sense of humor that's often laced with irony and "meta" exposition. Seems like there's a correlation between people that don't like him and people who don't "get" him. He's doesn't take himself seriously at all when he's in-character. He's just mocking people who do.
The Trickster analogy is spot on here Justin!
I love when one brilliant human speaks brilliantly about other brilliant humans. It becomes a positive conversation rather than a bitch-fest. I applaud you sir.
Oh lordy, some of the fueds over the years have been spectacular. This one seems pretty mild in comparison. Often you find out things you either didn't know, or it opens your eyes to truths, sometimes making you look at yourself in a different way.. I dunno I like a bit of dramatics in the music industry.
I've loved this guy since marshall stacks and Lycra body suits. Been somewhat keeping up ever since but hewvily since the yt channel. And now I get a dose of one of my favorite musicians.
I've long thought that GnR in their prime was the last truly insane, dangerous rock band. No one knew what Axl might say. No one knew who he might take an (actual, physical) swing at and when. No one knew if there'd be a riot -- it was just "dress appropriately for dodging flying stadium seats." Matt Healy has a RAZOR SHARP bullshit detector, whatever his faults might be, and performative sensitivity and empathy are worthy targets. And geez, that Yungblud imitation is hilarious. Postscript: As much as it pains me to admit, "welcome to your 30s, I guess" is also a pretty sick burn. Gonna use that across decades.
Thanks Justin for enlightening some of us to this development. You are indeed actually the actual 1975 as well as the Darkness as well. A Wood Rabbit like Sia and Bradley Cooper and other beautiful people born in that most fantastic of all years. Peace and love
I know what you mean about the cigarette looking pretty good, I quit over 6 months ago(well actually I substituted it with nicotine vape) so I guess quitting wouldn't be an accurate word, but I haven't had even one cigarette since my substitution. I don't miss the cigs as much as I thought I would, but when I see people smoking on tv or video, it's nearly impossible to resist. I was having the same reaction to Healy smoking when you mentioned it.
On point as always Justin! See you on the ice :)
I basically went through my teenage years listening to THE1975(amongst other bands of course,yours included Justin!) and though my feelings wavered from agreement to confusion,I still love the fact my opinions,ideas were somewhat challenged by the artists I listened to.That,among many other things,helped me perceive conflict and disagreement as something rather natural and even fun.Even people I knew who had their prejudices against THE1975`s music,admitted they really liked,in some way or another,what Matty had to say at shows.
He`s polarizing,but for people who follow them,they like that being polarizing is still a possibility.
Yes 🙌
“I don’t stand for anything I stand against stuff” JEEEEZ Yungblud got fucking sizzled with that line cause it’s so true
When he lit up on stage, it reminded me of, and this is a bit of a pull: does anyone remember that Never Mind The Buzzcocks episode where Simon Amstell was taking the piss out of Donnie Tourette?
"Hold on, Donnie's *smoking* now? A *normal* cigarette that you can *legally buy in shops?* I'll try to carry on, but I am both *shocked and appalled!"*
Long, long, time ago, I can still remember when the music really could make you dance. In NYC, after hearing you and your band interviewed on k rock, I had to see you. Upon arriving, at the venue, I ran into so many of my music loving friends, so cool. Then I got to witness the most exciting concert of my lifetime. The costumes, the vocals , the fun yous guys were obvi having- sooooo delicious. Now you’re playing with KiISS, I am considering the Norway show. Will you also be playing with KISS in the US?
Yunblud was probably like wow that mat Healy stage bit was soo cool let me do the exact same thing! Can’t stand people like that
I love your appreciation of Matty - so refreshing!
Interesting tale of the trickster, all wrapped up in a feud between 2 people I've never heard of before.
Yesss please interview Matty and pick his brain on a few topics. I don’t agree with everything he says, but he backs up his opinions pretty well and he’s quick to call himself out when he’s wrong, too.
found this quite insightful, it went past just two rockers going at it but also revealed the lack of nuance in today's thinking. Quite brilliant
So well put 🙏🏻
You really need to do an interview with Matty Healy Justin! I think you guys would have great chemistry
dude. his impression of yungblud is spot on
First I have ever heard of 1975. I do appreciate the opinion on Oasis and every other similar situation.
I’m 40 . Healy and the band is a guilty pleasure . Nothing stagnant about their music over time. It’s a rare thing in pop these days. It’s all entertainment with him
Not guilty about it. They have become a great band.
I’m 67. They are so refreshing to an old coot like me. Some of the best songwriting I have ever experienced. ❤
Even if you do not agree with Matty or Matthew... you can't argue that its nice to see people in bands having opinions and stirring the pot.
It's so cringe how people can't have fun anymore. We are allowed to say stuff without meaning it, and the inverse also applies. If you actually try to use your brain, it is possible to decipher what people mean versus what they don't. Just try to be actually engaged instead of ONLY standing against stuff you agree with. People are so quick to stand against things, but never stand for anything.
It seems a lot of people don't get sarcasm and take everything literally. Or believe what the media says without checking things out for themselves or looking at the context. I enjoy Matty because of the subtletey in his words, but subtlety is a British thing and people in other countries might not get it. Americans rarely do subtlety.
Loved this video! Great points. Kudos ❤
Only got introduced to Matt Healy by Nick Mullen and Adam Friedland, but I dig em.
Same goes for you Justin. You're an insane talent that gives me much needed inspiration when needed!
Same here. I listened to the show last week and just laughed I thought they were all just joking around and having fun. If it’s the type of show to offend you then just don’t listen to it.
Same here. Listened to cum town for years and was impressed that he had like encyclopedic knowledge of bits from 2018 lmao
I get that the Japanese exchange officer might be offensive but it's not that bad (also as it turns out there were Japanese exchange officers irl, which is surely much worse), but the period moon thing was so obviously a joke, how can you be offended at that
I’m also gay
Never thought I'd hear Justin Hawkins mention the bug that is Adam
I think Matty is brilliant & truly an individual, calling out the BS gimmicks that acts like YungBlud sell their music behind
to be fair Matty is a bit gimmicky too but that's not necessarily a bad thing and I'm here for a petty rivalry lol
Healy is a contrived persona too. It’s all an act and not natural at all.
@@Phuqarf whilst I don't like either of them particularly, I think Healy at least contrives his own image whereas I can imagine YoungBlud being more at the mercy of his label but you could argue what's the difference, splitting hairs really. As far as music rivalries go, it's not exactly a heavyweight battle lol.
Just a sidenote, I love how your Grados match the wall, just looks so cool
Reaction recommendations: Sons of winter and stars by Wintersun (kind of symphonic space metal 😂), Ghost Love Score by Nightwish (with Floor Jansen - wonderful vocalist), Blind and frozen by Beast in black (really wonderful vocalist too)
Yes! How refreshing! Great point, Justin!
If you actually listen to the podcast, Matty says veeeery little. Most of it is the hosts! And then, the whole thing was satire 😂
Yeah, people played it up to make it look like he was racist.
Separate one for the questions episode. Please say you’re jumping on the anniversary bandwagon and doing a Permission 20th tour this year? Would love to hear Holding My Own live
Watching Matty Healy:
Gentleman Friend: “That guy gives me the creeps “
Lady Friend: “He must be just my type”
Actually, he is…
🙏🏻💔🙏🏽
I cant imagine life as a rockstar who doesnt upset anyone. That would be utterly vanilla
He’s smoked on stage for 10 years mate. It’s his thing. And drinking wine on stage. But now he uses fake wine
The trickster. Wow. This blew my mind. I hadn't realised what made me so uncomfortable about feuds between rockstars. Back to the drawing board then. Cheers for that Justin
Thanks!!
You have to be VERY open minded and intelligent to understand Matty
I dropped out of the music industry 30 years ago coz I didn't think my perspective belonged there anymore, & I wholeheartedly endorse the message of the trickster. It reminds me of the good old days too, Justin. 😘❤️✌🏼
I think as a society we should have really good debates on what is going on in our society. We should be more engaged, even if we have oposing perspectives, we should not become mindless automatons.
Wait, this video ended way too quickly, I'd love to listen to more of what you have to say on the subject and perhaps compare it to when everyone seemed to be feuding and taking the piss all the time. I miss those times. I miss when we were capable of discussing music and ideas and society without everyone getting "triggered" all the time and we were capable of nuance and passion and even when people were divided by opinions and beliefs (or Oasis vs Blur) it felt like we were all a part of one good thing, a living organism. Doesn't feel like that these days anymore.
Hey Justin, off topic but thought you guys might read this - wondering if you've ever listened to the band Low? Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker are heroes of mine and I thought hearing your take on the songs such as White Horses (fucking gorgeous) Days Like These or any of their album HEY WHAT would be fascinating especially their use of distortion and feedback. Also you may have heard Mimi Parker passed away recently so the album HEY WHAT will sadly be their last record as the husband and wife duo of LOW. I just would like to hear your thoughts if any about LOW.
the Yungblud expression is just fuckîng great LMFAOOOOO
Your hair looks so nice today Justin. Digging the glasses too.
Don't forget Fleetwood Mac & The Eagles, who both had multiple long-running vendettas within their own bands for years. Ironically enough, long after they've made peace / died off, fans who picked a side continue to fight over them years later.
Loving your content brother.
Matty's version of a British accent different to his own is quite impressive
I click my non alcoholic champes with yours my friend. First time l’ve heard this. Bloody brilliant words. About time the pc ppl just had a proper go at truth telling. Love it❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Matt Healy has straight talking realistic parents, that’s why he’s not conflict averse
Great video thanks
Both of them are completely guilty of each other's accusations. Out of the two I'm more in Yungblud's camp, mainly because he reminds me a bit of Billy Idol and I do think he's a decent human being. Have seen him live and he's nuts, he really gives it his all. Really want to hate Matty Healy for what he said, but I think he's also totally right. Dom (yungblud) champions things that are 'morally obvious' and the impression did make me laugh. Perhaps it's all staged to give each other publicity as they tour?
Anyway, I do feel a bit old to be having an opinion in this, it's hardly Robert Smith Vs Morrissey.
Excellent comment!😀I agree. Robert Smith vs Morrissey brought it all home for me.
@@brookehornback1896 team Robert myself lol
@@brookehornback1896 also team Robert. Love The Cure.
I think this jab that Yungblud is championing "obvious" stuff is because of his age; but who doesn't think they know everything at that age? I've seen Yungblud performs too, and I gotta say he's impressive. It's just him, a guitar and a drum. No smoke, not props. It's just him. Like, he really puts himself out there. There's something admirable about that. Who knows? he may be a flash-in-the pan, but he may really have something. He's developing his voice. I don't think it's fair for Matty Healy to mock YB's accent; it seems classist and personal, idk, you English got your own set of stuff around that jazz. But something about Matty Healy feels a bit entitled and his jab at YB kinda rubbed me the wrong way. Graceful thing may have been to just to ignore stuff. But times are changing, so who knows? I mean, feels like a week- a$$ feud in the end.
@@ellenhenderson6865 I doubt it's down to his age because he has a big team around him. I think this is where I agree with Matty. Dom defends what Matty refers to as "morally obvious" as those are issues that are definitely safer to champion- that doesn't mean that the things Dom defends are not important issues- they are jus safer issues, and I guess Matty doesn't find that very punk or rock n' roll. He's making a much bigger point at how contrived and sterile things are in the Music World right now. I interpret the dig at the broad Yorkshire accent as Matty accusing Dom of overdoing, and even cashing in on, his accent and imitating mega stars such as Liam Gallagher, Alex Turner and I'm sure there are others. Dom has borrowed from everyone going, but that's why I like him. He takes elements of so many big artists and groups that people love and melds it into some really good tracks and shows. The Cure, Oasis, Billy Idol, Nirvana , ACDC, The Artic Monkeys, Eminem and even the 1975 themselves, are all major influences on the music he puts out, he's like a walking, talking Juke Box. Matty seems frustrated by the music world and is making it known and I admire this, he seems more original (even if I do find his recent performances a bit pompous and lack luster) he's stirring the pot bigtime. On the Oasis thing, he's hit the nail on the head. Time will tell if he is using this as a guise to mask some of the more worrying and sinister views that people on social media have accused him of.
matty is fucking brilliant and loud and i love him more than anyone else in the industry
I will say this about matty. i've been a fan of 1975 for a long time. Seen two of their live shows. I may not always agree with his takes, in fairness he's an artist. However, something i've grown to admire is his willingness to use his platform to speak on things he's passionate about. Other people may say, shut up and play the music, but he challenges things with his music and his little pep talks on stage. I kinda dig it. Again, not all the time, but at least it shows he's thinking about things and his place in the world and his impact on others as an artist. I think even deeper what's more admirable, is he's risking his career to say what he feels in his heart and he seems to be trying to be as authentic as he can be. And that's what's cool. He's just being himself. Thanks for covering this. Music drama is cool beans.
Finally something to eat up, but I'm totally on mattys side he's an actual person who speaks his mind like a true rockstar even though I'm aware it's a persona but YOUNGBLOOD IS AN INDUSTRY PLANT 😂😂
I need to see this podcast
Good vid as per on this particular novelty in rock, but I think you must mention that feuding has been culturally perpetual in hip hop/grime over the few decades.
Just when I thought it wasn't possible to dislike either anymore than I do.
I'm divided on the Oasis reunion. The kid in me wants the concert, but the adult thinks that this might be a waste of precious time. But that Matty is correct, seen the HFB and Liam and an Oasis concert would have been 50 % 60 % no 100% more Fing awesome!
So right about him making smoking cool. I don't even like him and I stopped smoking years ago and yet the way he lighted that cigarette, the way he held it in his mouth, goodness... yes please... (but I won't, don't smoke kids).
Thanks for the beautiful comments, i really appropriate your love ❤and concern towards my career, may god bless you, we're you supporting from?
Matty is a super intelligent truth-teller, who seems to have a lot of sincerity; a total breath of fresh air and we need a few more like him.
Super intelligent truth teller...what a world we live in.
@whywhywhy I'm not saying he's always correct, but people who are actually capable of independent thought are becoming more and more rare and we do need opposing views for education, awareness and balance.
He seemes like a groomer not gonna lie
@@archiveSux What are the qualities that make someone look like a groomer? Asking genuinely.
@@biggothepiggo I just get that vibe, nothing else. Additionally, bands that mostly have teenage girls as fandom is always going to give creepy vibes.
Hey Justin here is a question id like to ask you, do you believe in ghosts,spirits,demons etc:? Have you ever had a supernatural experience?? And have you ever seen the music documentary called "the devil and Daniel Johnson "? Have you ever heard Daniel Johnsons album "hi how are you "? He made it just before he had a mental breakdown and was put into a mental hospital, it's a great album, really haunting , sad , and beautiful at the same time, I think this would be an excellent one for you to cover, really interesting, and here come the demons...whhhooaaaaaaa
He’s either a massive muppet or an incredible genius and the only way to know for sure is looking at it retrospectively in a few years
Noel is really happy where he is and comes across as happy in all the interviews.
He was never like this towards the end of Oasis.
Happiness is everything.
Thanks a lot for the amazing contest! Your daily posts are the best thing of the week! (At least on the internet ;)) What about creating one about Cat Stevens? I love this man and his songs are timeless
Where's Jim, I thought the double act was your new direction?!
Did your finger heal incorrectly when you fractured it? My index on my picking hand fractured in the knuckle and it didn't heal right apparently. I was wondering if surgery is wise.
Great stuff, Justin!
The David Lee Roth vs Sammy Hagar always feuding who was better was always pretty entertaining
Not a fan of either Yungblood or Matty Healy but I don’t know, Matty at least seems to be doing whatever he likes, Yungblood just feels like someone saw Kieth Flint and made an annoying version of him, can’t stand Yungblood, he’s such a tryhard
Nice one! Cheers, charging my glass.
Being a pain in the mainstream ass is just good fun
Did you really once tell Dave Grohl that you had a feud with Motorhead? Would love to see an episode on them in the future.
I have no idea who these 2 are, nor what all that sitting in front of the crowd was about, but I like people that aren't afraid to say what they think, you know as long as they aren't spreading a destructive message of hate I suppose. This seems constructive and a pleading effort for people to be better, get over themselves, and do something worthwhile.
Thanks for the beautiful comments, i really appropriate your love ❤and concern towards my career, may god bless you, we're you supporting from?
Hi Justin. Have you had a chance to listen to the last two releases, by Roxanne? "Radio Silence" and "Stereo Typical. " If not, you might want to give those a spin. Fantastic rock records.
Really great video!!
Matty Healy is the latest in a long timeline of Mancunian musicians (Peter Hook, Mark E. Smith, Morrissey, Ian Brown & the Gallaghers ) who aren’t afraid to voice their disdain of their contemporaries at all & rightly so.
My issue with modern music is that musicians are instead feuding with politicians and not each other, now I fully agree that ALL politicians are deserving of mockery, but as Matty made clear in his parody of Yungblud it’s become establishment opinions amongst musicians and doesn’t really take guts to speak out against what are already established moral issues.
For me a lot of the musicians who try and act really political are actually insufferably smug themselves and worth putting down a peg or two and I’m all for it and I think Matty making that stand is far more courageous as that genuinely does take guts as it goes against the new status quo.
(I write this not as a 1975 fan, although I liked the last album… and I’ve been critical of Matty being inconsistent in the past but for now good job to him)
Ps: I also want to give a shout out to Black Midi who’ve also made a name for themselves slagging off of other musicians but they’re nowhere near as big so won’t get the same kind of attention
He tries way too hard to be like them lol
You honestly just compared that pretentious pillock to mark e smith? Hes not even mancunian
Uncertain it is accurate that there have not been rock star feuds for 20 yrs or so (global rock star peace in our times). Seem to be many vigorously contested ongoing rock feuds that have spanned many a year, notably Roger Waters versus the rest of the Pink Floyd from the '80s to the present day. Trouble for YungBlud's pop-punk is that is what the Buzzcocks did years ago. Trouble for The 1975 is that British pop-rock can be rather parochial and hard to sustain well for more than a year or two internationally at the top.
Is it true that the drummer of The Darkness plays or played with Devin Townsend?
Darby Todd filled in at a couple of The Darkness shows a few years ago, but has never been a member. He is the one currently drumming with Devin.
I find really hard to hate Matty, he’s smart as hell.
Right hes just being himself
Dude is very candid
Lots of very smart people are also complete shit heels. Try garnering admiration for people who are smart AND kind and good. Might I suggest Hozier
He’s really not
Never meet your heroes.
holy shit Justin Hawkins mentioning The Adam Friedland Podcast we live in a simulation
Really appreciate you calling MH and the crew out here my man. They are very good at sustaining killer sonics and unabashed pop. And I consider Matty as cultured as the grey hmm hmm yourself good sir. High breaches he has to wear to be like Gabriel, Sting, Gilmour and Justin H hmm hmm
I think it would be best for all parties involved, directly or by opinion, if Justin Hawkins would utilize his eloquence and candor, and make an appearance on the Adam Friedland show to clear all this up.
The last 20 years of music are why I switched genres and started listening to rap. I listened to the artists who rapped about culture and society, not so much about money, clubbing, women and weed. The best artists are the ones who allow their emotions to pervade their verses, whether about racism, poverty, society’s ills, etc. Beyond the language, rhymes, rhythm and beat and turn of phrase, I love rap’s self-consciousness. I love the way it mirrors society, how it acknowledges art forms past and present, and also how it’s a platform to inform . Best, I love how rappers call out other rappers, and the clap backs that result. It’s endlessly entertaining. But I am also thrilled if rock becomes more engaging, challenging, feuding, and exciting to listen to!
Old school rap from the 90's/2000's was its peak, at least its lyrical peak. I feel like the best rap songs tell a story or at least have something to say other than bragging, which seems to be the only lyrical content of mainstream rap these days. Songs like Dance with the Devil by Immortal Technique are just another level of storytelling through song.
Amazing topics
