Michael Jackson incident

 

Cocker invaded the stage at the 1996 BRIT Awards in a spur of the moment protest against Michael Jackson's performance. Jackson performed surrounded by children and a rabbi, while making 'Christ-like' poses and performing his then-recent hit, "Earth Song". Cocker and his friend Peter Mansell (a former Pulp member) performed an impromptu stage invasion in protest. In the ensuing confusion, as security attempted to eject Cocker from the stage, three child performers received minor injuries.

Big fan of Maiden, but they played one fucking gig in Britain last year in London.  Cockerny Twats!  Apart from Janick Gers of course.  He's a northern twat.

Gerraway man! I bought it the other night and I was massively disappointed with it. No duff tracks? They all seemed pretty "vanilla" to me like. Maybe I should give it a few more listens though...but that'll only happen if the nurses put me in a straitjacket and a padded cell first.

The Brits (what a shite name) have always been a pile of shit.

They are an industry awards.

They don't reward innovation, originality, or excitement.

Remember last time Adele was nominated before her album had been released (she went to the industry owned Brit school in Croydon).

 

The recording industry shot itself in the foot by not seeing the digital revolution coming when that is their business surely.

They then arrived late for the party and at first tried to stop the downloaders until they were shown viable business models.

Then they began to threaten downloaders with disproportionate penalties.

They take a massive cut from the price of any music.

The artist i.e. the creator gets the smallest cut of the pie, while the clueless shitheels/executives take the most for doing basically fuck all.

 

No, I don't ever recall the Brits being anything but a chance for a bunch of Hoorah Henrys to get pissed on yours and my money.
