Let's start a music flamewar. ANDREW WK IS A GUITAR GOD.

[Colin Ex]

What do you say to that?

[Avalux]

1. NOT

He bugs me.

[Colin Ex]

4. That is clearly

because you cannot appreciate his genius and songwriting talent. Not to mention instrumental ability and oh, the lyrics!

-C

[Avalux]

6. OK - knock my pantyhose off

give some profound lyrics (I admit I'm not all that familiar with him).

[Colin Ex]

16. A few Andrew WK lyrics

"Don't Stop Living In The Red"

Don't stop living in the red
Don't stop living in the red
Don't stop living in the reeeeeeeeeed

You were always living in the red
You were always living in the red
You were always living in the reeeeeeeeed

Oooooh....oooooh....oooooh......oooooh

Red, red, red, red, red, red, red

Don't stop living in the red
Don't stop living in the red
Don't stop living in the reeeeeeeeeed

Oooooh....ooooh....oooooh......oooooh
Don't stop living in the
red, red, red, red, red, red, red

[Avalux]

21. That does it for me

Andrew WK is truly a genius. Thanks for the enlightenment!:silly:

[Colin Ex]

23. I do what I can.

I'm always happy to spread the love. :-)

2. Jimi is the only true guitar god...

all others are either imitators or lesser "dieties."

22. there was a guy named Django before Hendrix

how did he play the way (so fluidly) he did with that messed up chording hand?

and Charlie Christian
and a couple of others

[Fenris]

3. I thought he played piano

Whatever he plays, he sucks.

[Stupdworld]

5. dude i love me some wk

saw him on warped. what a fun show

[CrownPrinceBandar]

7. SUX!!!

Did this happen after someone bought his album and actually listened to it?

[Wickerman]

8. Some guitar god

who the fuck is he?

[Colin Ex]

9. He's the energy rock Jimi Hendrix.

And you should be ashamed for not knowing his holy name.

-C

[Wickerman]

15. No shame - and though I am not familiar with it

anything tagged "energy rock" makes me think of fakey power bars found in the 7-11.

[Fenris]

17. ....

And you'd be correct.

[Champion Jack]

19. reminds me of gary glitter stuff

[Wickerman]

20. oh, I get it

he's hoping to cash in on the royalties from some sports franchise shamelessly bludgeoning the crowd every time the home team gets the ball? And, let me guess - its popular in trendy aerobics classes?

[YellowRubberDuckie]

10. One comment:

:puke: Andrew WK sucks. Period.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

11. When I first heard "Party Hard" on the radio...

I thought it was a beer commercial. I kept waiting for the product placement and it never came. Then I heard it was a real song. Pre-engineered beer commercial rock.

He certainly has energy, I'll give him that. But that's about it.

:shrug:

[jayfish]

14. Exactly!!! I'm Not The Only One!!!

I kept thinking "when is this damn commercial going to end".

Jay

[MrSlayer]

12. HAHAHAHA! Too ridiculous to consider.

I can name a thousand guitarists better than that jackass.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

13. What about Howie Day?

I've been getting into him recently. I think he's pretty excellent.

[no name no slogan]

18. Who the hell is that?

Besides, every body KNOWS that the true guitar god is Hendrix.

Others worthy of this title include (but are certainly not limited to) Paco de Lucia, Manitas de Plata, Robert Fripp, Chet Atkins, Johnny Marr, Steve Howe, Kevin Shields, James Williamson, Thurston Moore, Duane Allman and the highly underrated Steven Fellows.

As a guitarist and songwriter for the last 20 years, I can honestly say that Andrew WTF is NOT a guitar god. Hell, even Angus Young makes him look like crap, and he can barely play.

[PVnRT]

24. EWWW!!! MAINSTREAM!!!!

ALL MAINSTREAM ANYTHING IS CRAP!!!!! ONLY INDEPENDANT STUFF HAS ANY MERIT!!!!!

All who disagree with me are useless corporate whores who are really freeper disruptors in disguise.
