Would this be necessary in order to properly despise their fanbase?

Define musicianship?


The ability to sing or play an instrument?

So being able to compose and write music doesn't make someone a musician?

Phil Spector is less of a musician than all the people that he wrote music for?

Not knocking those guys, but if I had to choose a musician between Phil Spector and George Harrison I know who I would pick. It's a broad term, obivously, but I see what you mean.

I know Phil Spector knew how to play instruments. I was just using him as an example of someone writing songs but not actually playing instruments or singing on those songs.

Yeah haha. It does kind of look like him.

I just did an image search and found the origin. Sorry for the thread hijack.

One of those random pictures happens to be my random brother, Jason.

My dad and I found the picture accidentally one night a couple weeks ago, and thought it looked like him. But Jason has now confirmed that it is, in fact, him. Posing for publicity photos for the Professional Disc Golf Association.

Thats just at festivals. Their solo concerts are horrendous. Their "musicians" in the band are so insanely over hyped and overrated by the plebeians that they've somehow gained recognition outside of the great unwashed masses that make up their fanbase. Trey Anastasio is an embarrassment to guitarists everywhere. He should really just stop and I despise the despicable grunge brain rotted sheep that have inflated their sense of importance.

I was coming in here to mention phish as well but I see the hostility and defensiveness is alive and well.

In short: you better not criticize phish fans and if you do you better provide a detailed explanation why and if you do that we'll laugh off your reasons and tell you that you aren't intelligent enough to understand or you don't like music delivered from the hand of God.

Eta thanks for elevating my hatred of phish fans just a bit more. Nothing is more insufferable than fans who can't accept that someone doesn't like their heroes.
