Stop the Cranberries!

[Magrittes Pipe]

The horror... the horror. :scared:

[Screaming Lord Byron]

1. Dolores is, apparently, quite evil.

Still. I would.

[Magrittes Pipe]

2. Oh, I would too.

Hell, she might even shut up for a few minutes.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

4. Yes. That's the main reason why I would.

She sounds like someone blew up the Cocteau Twins.

[tigereye]

9. I for one, love her voice

but her sexual/choice politics leave something to be desired.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

79. what's wrong with her politics?

isn't she a big pacifist?

i rather like them and i think they're post-zombie work (which didn't make the airwaves here in the land of ashlee simpson and britney spears) is highly underappreciated and shows a band that matured nicely

[tigereye]

80. I have read that she's very anti-choice

not sure...

[Screaming Lord Byron]

81. She's a Conservative Catholic.

[tigereye]

12. yeah typical

you would ### her, but you would prefer not to listen to her music. Ennnnhhhh. Guys.

[truthspeaker]

14. "Guys" my ass. Horniness is equal opportunity.

I know plenty of women who would have sex with good-looking men they don't otherwise find interesting. What's the big deal?

[tigereye]

20. I just get tired of the whining girl singer trashing

having been one myself, I'm a little sensitive. And I rarely screwed guys I didn't find interesting.

wanna wrassle over it? :)

[Screaming Lord Byron]

15. Sorry, it's he pompous overblown seriousity.

We just had to lower the tone.

[RandomKoolzip]

16. Right. And Ricky Martin's popularity was all about the music.

Feh, chicks.

[truthspeaker]

18. And Antonio Banderas's popularity is about the acting.

[tigereye]

22. never interested me

I'm cold and I'm cranky and .... well, I'm cold and cranky. C'mon, ya can dish it out, but not take it... (kidding)

[RandomKoolzip]

25. But he's so hot!

There are dozens (literally dozens) of female musicians whose work I love and cherish who I'd never even think about sexually.

Then there are those whose only obvious attribute is their physical attractiveness.

Then there are those who have neither: Dolores O'Riordan falls into this category.

[tigereye]

28. love that Celtic keening

but then I am Irish. What about (whispers) Sinead? Hmmm? ;)

No brain, no good taste in music, no nookie. That was my motto pretty much prior to marriage, until lately when my eyes can't stay away from 20 - somethings with beards! I blame hormones.

[XNASA]

3. Didja haff to, Didja haff to, Didja haff to, Didja haff to, .........

Let it linger?

[Blue-Jay]

23. Didja haff to pull my finger?

[swag]

5. That cloying little catch in her voice

eeeeeegh. Shivers of pure disgust.

[StClone]

6. Stop the sirens!

[Screaming Lord Byron]

7. Harriet Wheeler shouldn't be in there.

Harriet rocks. (sedately)

[GOPisEvil]

42. Harriet is awesome!

I saw The Sundays live, and was amazed that Harriet hit all the high notes. She has a fantastic voice.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

46. And, as an extra bonus, she is gorgeous, in that upper-class english girl

way.

[GOPisEvil]

47. Oh yes...quite easy on the eyes.

*swoon*

[RandomKoolzip]

8. Worst live band I ever seen.

While living in New Orleans in 95, my friends and I were eating at a restaurant and met the members of Grant Lee Buffalo. I told them I was a fan and they gave me free passes to the next night's show. Wanted to see Grant Lee Buffalo, but my ride decided to get drunk and skip the opener.

The closer was the Dingleberries. They were....truly awful.

[Magrittes Pipe]

10. They're like U2 if Bono were a whiny girl with self-esteem issues.

I mean, more so.

[RandomKoolzip]

13. yeah; I was just about to post:

"Oh, so just like U2, then?"

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

37. Bono IS a whiny guy with self-esteem issues.

HE LIKES HIMSELF WAY TOO MUCH

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

17. You are a very hateful man

but, for the most part you weild your hate like a scalpel

[tigereye]

24. Chavez help me!

I'm in defend the whining chick singers mode, again! ( just like to get em going, a little) ;)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

33. I have 6 Cranberries albums

Pet love

[RandomKoolzip]

36. Whaddya want: a medal, or a chest to pin it on?

I have -6 Cranberries albums.

Anyways, they're irrelevant. When's the last time they had a hit? 1996?

I hope that somehow a bus accident was involved in their newfound invisibleness.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

39. Why every veign in your obscure-music-addled cranium is bulging

methinks a nice Cranberries song would soothe your fevered brow

[Screaming Lord Byron]

40. To all the kids with heroin eyes......

To all the people doing lines
Don't do it, don't do it
Inject your soul with liberty
It's free, it's free
To all the kids with heroin eyes
Don't do it, don't do it
Cos it's not, not what it seems
Oh no it's not, not what it seems
(chorus)
Salvation, Salvation, Salvation is free
Salvation, Salvation, Salvation is free
To all the parents with sleepless nights
Sleepless nights
Tie your kids home to their beds
Clean their heads
To all the kids with heroin eyes
Don't do it, don't do it
Cos it's not, not what it seems
No no it's not, not what it seems
(repeat chorus)

[RandomKoolzip]

41. I COULD use an Ocean Spray right about now.....

Oh, you were talking about the band. Oh.

Remember, Cranberries are good for your urinary tract.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

45. And they keep your blood pressure down

little man

[RandomKoolzip]

48. 6'0", 240 lbs.

Only thing "little" about me is my tiny slavic peen.

[Magrittes Pipe]

50. You can say that again!

Needle-dick.

[RandomKoolzip]

55. Just cuz you're hung like a mastodon don't mean

I can't tie myself to a tree and whip myself when I want to.

So stop rubbing it in! (Your massive slab of Ohio whitesnake, I mean.)

[Magrittes Pipe]

58. If you ever refer to my genitals and Whitesnake in the same sentence again

You will deeply regret it.

[RandomKoolzip]

59. "I was walking down the street, listening to Whitesnake,

when I ran into your enormous genitals coming the other way."

I can live with regrets.

[Magrittes Pipe]

64. It ain't a fair fight.

You are neither hung over nor at work. Please be kind.

[RandomKoolzip]

67. I'm not working.

But I AM "working 'it'" right now....if you catch my drift.

[Magrittes Pipe]

69. Dammit! Why'd you have to go and make my picture your desktop wallpaper?

[RandomKoolzip]

70. First I had to increase the resolution on my monitor.....

So that I could fit ALL of your Hedgecock on the screen. You owe me some memory, you honus!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

52. I thought it was your arctic dark dick

[RandomKoolzip]

54. No, that was "Snowball," Tex.

Rooon Jerrremy....!

hcabamanos!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

60. platyhelminthes

[RandomKoolzip]

65. I spontinuously eject ejaculation from my face

Oh, and Coelocanth.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

66. What you meant was "Uglena! Hit Me!!"

[RandomKoolzip]

68. Yut yut yut Al Martone

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

71. y'all don't know bout the Baptist Chizurch

[tigereye]

73. why are you so nice and they're so mean

;)

[RandomKoolzip]

26. Dude, you hate Orleans!

For that alone I oughta disown you, but....friends are friends, right?

C'mon, "Still the One' is fucking brilliant, especially with Paul Cassella's ghostly backing vocals: "Still the one!/oooOOOOoooh!"

[Magrittes Pipe]

27. We're still having fun, Koolzip

And you're still the one.

[RandomKoolzip]

29. Why is it that I think of The Fonz whenever I hear that song?

Did he ever sing it on "Happy Days?" Am I tripping?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

31. Didn't Cassella's solo work "Harry Chronic Jr" rock?

No it didnt, it FUCKING rocked

[RandomKoolzip]

34. it did, my friend....it did.

But "Magic Dick, part 8" was the best of his solo projects. (Did you ever hear this one? It went, "ooh ohh ohh, I need your lovin'...I'm a bird, I can fly....." While I changed the pitch on his voice.)

[GOPisEvil]

44. I saw that tour!

I wasn't terribly impressed with either of them live, to tell you the truth.

[RandomKoolzip]

49. Well, I liked Grant Lee Buffalo's records....

This was right after "Mighty Joe Moon" came out, and I was interested in seeing them live. I mean, come on! Free passes!

But, New Orleans being New Orleans, music will always take a backseat to alcohol......

[GOPisEvil]

53. I only wish I could say I went for free.

But no, I paid to go. And there wasn't a woman involved either.

Happily, my tastes have evolved since then.

Oh, and Grant Lee Phillips doesn't excite me either. It's not that he sucks or anything, he just doesn't make me give a shit.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

56. And then he formed Wilco.

[RandomKoolzip]

61. Right. And started sucking wildly.

Now he sounds like Springsteen checking his microphone before a show.

[GOPisEvil]

62. I love how these musical discussions are so circular.

Wilco is one of the featured acts of the upcoming Austin City Limits Festival. I think I can avoid them. Maybe.

[tigereye]

74. no they are really good live

don't listen to them!

and they seem to attract lots of beautiful young ladies...

[RandomKoolzip]

57. Yeah, I've gotten beyond that now.

I hear Phillips, and go: "Is that Eddie Vedder singing for Traffic?"

[sus]

11. do you have to let it linger???

do ya haftoo! do ya haftoo!

[sniffa]

19. nah

[Screaming Lord Byron]

21. Stop them from doing what?

Playing half-empty state fairs and casinos?

[drumwolf]

30. Bleecchhh!!!

I worked at Tower Records in the early '90s, during the height of the Cranberries' career, and I had to listen to that shit on almost a daily basis. Thank God they're history.

:puke:

The most pathetic story I read about them involved an outdoor concert they held in Boston which was shut down because people were getting way too out of control in the mosh pit. A MOSH PIT FOR A FUCKING CRANBERRIES SHOW. Yes, folks, I shit you not. Probably no surprise it got shut down, seeing as it was probably made of idiot meathead frat boys who like music like the Cranberries and know nothing about mosh-pit culture and etiquette.

Yet another thing that I can blame Nirvana for: their success brought alternative and punk into the mainstream and led to ridiculous things like moshpits at Cranberries shows. I'm kind of surprised we didn't end up having mosh pits at Madonna or Backstreet Boys concerts.

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[redqueen]

35. OMG!

A mosh pit? No... you must've been hallucinating. Or you heard wrong. Or something.

Whatever it was, it was NOT a mosh pit. A bunch of people violently demonstrating their cluelessness, perhaps.

[tigereye]

38. uh I think there was a moshpit at a Madonna show

I am sorry to say.

[redqueen]

43. No No No NO NO!

These are NOT moshpits?

FCOL what's the world coming to?

I know you funny people can come up with a more appropriate term for these faux moshpits...

[Screaming Lord Byron]

51. foshpits!

[redqueen]

63. While it does communicate the idea

as well as the non-moshpitness... I think something in a more mocking vein is in order.

[tigereye]

72. redqueen do I detect a note of punk history in your past

I always avoided the pit at Ramones and other punk shows due to fear of having something broken.

[redqueen]

75. Oh, the pit at the Ramones was the ONE time I would NOT miss it

And this fine lesbian lady gave me a bracelet... I was so young, and too scared... but ah... what a memory.

:loveya:

[nickgutierrez]

32. No, seriously, stop them.

:scared:

[Nikia]

76. I like their music

I really do.

[Merrick]

77. Neighbor in my college dorm blasted Zombie for 7 weeks straight

literally. nothing but Zombie emanated from that room for like, 2 months. That came after 5 straight weeks of Pearl Jam's 'Nothing Man'. Not a very strong indication of intelligence IMO, which is why I didnt feel so bad about murdering him later.

[Susang]

78. I guess I assumed they already were

Stopped, I mean. Have they recorded again? :scared:
