I’m not on either of their sides regarding this situation, but Trent Reznor has more musical talent in his little finger than KISS have in their collective bodies. The man is a genius.

NIN’s worst music is a million times better than KISS’s best. KISS were out there to sell records. Trent… his music is emotional (no, not fucking emo, call NIN emo and I will hurt you), thoughtful. Heard and all that could have been? I’d stake a claim to it being NIN’s most emotional song. Up there with hurt. KISS’s best song (in my opinion) is God Of Thunder. Where’s the meaning, the emotion? Gene Simmons; clearly in it for the money only. Go put your old man face on another t-shirt Gene. Leave the music to Trent.

end rant.

This isn’t fucking Heat magazine or whatever, who cares if one public figure insults another, you don’t all need to pitch in your own opinion, knowing that you’ll be challenged on it.

KISS = No talent
If they started today they would go nowhere. Before we had the internet and other media sources people’s information was very limited. Today we have a very large talent pool that is very easily seen and heard. It’s pretty pathetic that you people equate success with how much money someone makes. The poster named “Me” thinks that he or she is the smartest kid in the room when in reality they are just an average person that has no true concept of business or the world. In the end, KISS will be known for nothing other than a long running band, Trent Reznor will be seen as someone that changed the industry (regardless of what you think about his music his business practices are far better than any other band) for the better.

To be honest you’re never gonna win because Trents fans seem to have the blind loyalty which allows him to get away with this. And like you said, he can have his opinion – no problem with that. If he doesnt like the guy or doesnt respect what he’s doing thats fine. But openly broadcasting his view to the world, baring in mind that both Gene and (to a mixed extent) Marilyn Manson have brought joy to other people, without ANY victim what so ever, is both unnecasery and unkind.

Sounds like a pussy remark but to be honest its the truth. There are people who deserve to be criticised more than entertainers who are (or where) good at what they do.

Klown – let us dissect that:

1 – NIN were formed in 1988, the year before Fear Factory, so I very much doubt they had much effect. Plus, that argument has never ever made any sense. It’s like saying that if I came and took a pee on your lawn, then taking a dump there the next day would seem more acceptable. No. Also, Fear Factory did what is the definitive cover of ‘Cars’, 11 years ago. Maybe Fear Factory paved the way for that…

2 – Korn are generally considered one of, if not the, first Nu Metal bands. They formed in 1993, a full 5 years after Fear Factory. The term Nu Metal (or New Metal as it was initially) wasn’t used until 1995. So I can’t imagine anyone could mistake them for Nu Metal.

3 – Learn the difference between ‘then’ and ‘than’. My “…tiny brain cells…” have clearly taken some information in over the years.

4 – Learn the difference between ‘your’ and ‘you’re’. See above.

5 – He is allowed an opinion and yes, is free to articulate it. However, he should learn a few little things called humility and respect. Humility for knowing that people, foolish as they are, seem to care about the garbage that he spouts and who he thinks is “…a clown…” this week. Respect for the bands who helped open people’s minds to his end of the spectrum (remember your first point?), and…

6 – …respect for his elders! How can you use that against me, when I’m pointing out how much of an assclown the guy is for disrespecting his elders?

7 – I did, thanks.
