I definitely did get that impression, but.... why? Why is declaring that you're Paul McCartney and listing cliches about your Paul McCartney-isms while winking at the audience that it's intentional and that you're fully aware of how awkward/insubstantial it sounds..... why is that funny?
Just going "Oooh, look at me, I'm George Harrison, the "quiet Beatle" and I like sitars, ooooohhh, isn't my impression awful, everyone? *wink*"..... what's funny about that?
I just didn't get the joke.
Some of these might not be controversial, haven't read the entire previous thread, but here goes.
- Although Pantera was a good band, Dimabag became insanely overrated after his death. Descent guitarist? Sure. But no where near the god-like status some people put him in.
- Same applies for Kurt Cobain although i'm sure this came up in the previous thread. Nirvana's popularity was more about what they stood for/represented. Had they been just regular joes without the "f**k the establishment" attitude, nobody would still be talking about their below average music.
- Brad Pitt is a terrible actor
- Jennifer Aniston is hotter than Courtney Cox today, but wasn't during the Friends days
- Izzy was incredibly underrated, and is a better musician than Slash. GNR began their downfall the day he left.
- Jerry Seinfield is not funny and never was
- Although impartial to their band's music, Mark Tremonti (Creed) and Dave Donegan (Disturbed) are very underrated guitarists
- Superhero movies are all the same to me and very dull
- Shadows Fall does not nearly get enough respect as a band
- Black Sabbath, ACDC, Led Zepplin were all overrated. Alice Cooper was the best thing to come out of the 70s in terms of rock
- The Howard era of Killswitch Engage was better than anything done with Jesse
- Ride the Lightning is the best Metallica album
- Breaking Bad was OK at best
- Kim Kardashian is average looking
- Korn was a terrible band
- Bono is a TERRIBLE vocalist. I have no idea how U2 was able to become so popular with him as a singer
- Metallica would've had taken the same path with their music even if Cliff were still alive
- Angelina Jolie has never been good looking
Might have a few more, these are the ones that came to mind for now.
When was the height of her popularity? I know that when she was getting the "most beautiful woman in the world, stealing Brad Pitt" talk, it was a really common opinion.I got everyone piggybacking my Angelina Jolie controversial opinion. I know none of you were controversial enough to think that at the height of her popularity. I said that and got tons of **** for it. Truly controversial.
As for what nirvana stands for, I don't think even cobain knew. It's pretty widely known now that he would give a completely different answer literally every time someone asked him about what smells like teen spirit meant. Eventually Dave grohl had to clarify that the lyrics were absolute nonsense and meant nothing.
That's revisionist history at best. Right around that time I almost got lynched for saying it. I got called all type of homophobic slurs. But I stuck to my convictions and didn't drink the Kool aid. It took a lot of courage but I did it.When was the height of her popularity?

When she was a young up and comer, that's a different story.
What did Nirvana stand for/represent?

People truly were brainwashed by the media spin.
Dude, we're talking about an hollywood actress, not the civil rights movement. You're talking as if you went through an immense struggle against some sort of all-powerful institution.

It's alot like when Jesus was crucified for thinking outside the box.Not surprised to see this type of talk. People always trying to diminish my sacrifices when they never went through the struggle. Whatever.
