Thought the same thing. The Patton Oswalt bit was funny.

When you raise people up to be gods, they must become infallible. Hence autotune. Look at retouching for big stars in bluray or 4k rez to ensure every minute imperfection is covered up... The audience demands infallibility. You do a full dance routine, you're likely to be huffing and puffing by the end of it. I doubt even the fittest of "pop stars" could manage that. It's understandable that even long term stars who have real talent have gotten lazy.

Then there are just manufactured twats who can't sing worth shit but look the part. Nothing new there, can't believe people fall for it...

Live music is where it's at, give me a cover band belting out Wildflower by the Cult in a pub any day, or the recording of Faith No More at Brixton. They are real performances, they have stuff ups (Patton bungling one of the last verses of War Pigs for example) and that doesn't matter a lick because you're getting The Real Thing (/grin).

Yuss!!

\m/

@Asmo, the Faith No More version is epic (pun very much intended)

When I was a teenager, I was hanging out in the guitar shop my mate worked in. We were playing War Pigs (Sabbath version) on the stereo and this dude comes in and says "wow, Mike Pattons voice sounds really weird"

just found this: Faith No More with Ozzy and James Hetfield!

"Dear People Who Make The Effort To Write In A Comment Thread That They're About to Un-Follow Me Just Before They Un-Follow Me:

Since I was never aware you were following me in the first place and didn't care to begin with, wouldn't it be more of an insult, to me, if it WASN'T worth the effort for you to inform me of your impending action? If you just clicked 'un-like' and went on with your busy, full, active life off of the internet?

The opposite of love is indifference. Hate is the clothing love wears when it's feeling lonely and mean."

Meh. I don't think this is smart. Continues to miss the point. Although I don't know when this was recorded.

Patton Oswalt has changed his mind. He listened and finally got it.

It isn't about censorship. And yet they are still talking about censorship.

Ah yes. Now here is a rape joke that is actually funny. Even Patton Oswalt is starting to get it -- someone who didn't at first, and after this last go round about rape jokes, finally does.
