Iggy Vs The Corrs

Personally I prefer to bludgeon them to death with a large, heavy, blunt instrument; cut their bloody, still-twitching corpse into chunks first with a chainsaw then into smaller pieces with a sharp kitchen knife; collect all the pieces and wrap them in black bin-liners (it pays to buy good quality bin-liners for this, otherwise you often need to use a second one, which is time consuming amd may well work out to be more expensive in the long run) then bury them under the patio.... but each to their own.

..And rude, indecent, people don't deserveblah, ... YES! That's what Iggy Pop IS!

The Corrs were just watching and taking no part in the show. Iggy was just trying to get them involved. ...man.

If Iggy is who I think/hope he is, he would've done 10-fold worse on Kelly Osborne.

also, someone said Iggy had no right to spit on stage. He has every right to spit on stage. It's part of his show, and this is no hidden fact. When you go to the "guy who spits on people show-- you cant complain when you get spit on

Do you get fed up with the whiter than white image?
No, I'm fine with it. The whiter the better

I dont know what they're talking about, but I'm going to just assume she's a skinhead punk fan in disguise.

Look, it's quite simple: fans of Iggy Pop and fans of the Corrs are *NEVER* going to reach an agreement on this issue.

My personal opinion, however, is that if you are sincerely a 'hardcore Corrs fan (a member of the HardCorr Corps?), you presumably don't take music very seriously. Face it. What do the Corrs ultimately do? They make pop music that is perfectly "pleasant" and "pretty" (with the faintest possible hint of Celtic folk music). That's fine and all, but said task has been handily accomplished by more talented hands for generations. Moreover, the real truth of the matter is that they wouldn't even have a recording contract if not for the fact that they're irrefutably lovely (well, `cept the brother, of course). Anyone who refutes that is living in a dreamworld. The music they make, while "pretty" and "pleasant" is inherently inconsequential and, once again, will in all probability not stand the test of time.

Iggy Pop, meanwhile, is quite undeniably a living legend. To brandish an adjective that is sorely overused in the lexicon of the rock hack, his work with the Stooges is positively *SEMINAL*. His solo career, while frought with hills and valleys of quality, has produced some equally seismic moments, not least among them THE IDIOT and LUST FOR LIFE. While it may be true that Ig's last several albums have failed to set the world ablaze, even his mose uninspired album (NAUGHTY LITTLE DOGGY? BLAH BLAH BLAH???) is more interesting and has more going for it than the entire artistic canon of the Corrs. I mean, really, what the fuck have the Corrs done besides make "pretty"/"pleasant" music and flit about as if life were one big fragrance commercial?

In terms of Iggy's arguably disgraceful behaviour that night, I'd love to believe that Iggy intentionally aimed his ire at them *because* they were Corrs, but I guess it was just dumb luck that they happened to be sitting in the balcony. As has been stated before, this is what Iggy does, and there's certainly enough documentation out there to have forewarned the Corrs about it. If they can't take Iggy's brand of heat, then what the fuck were they doing in his kitchen? Andrea deserved a good bit of rudeness for sporting that New York Dolls t-shirt on an album cover not too long ago anyway.

And shame on the pregnant Corr for going to a smokey rock club to begin with. Fuck was she thinking?

The Corrs weren't in the cheap seats, where you would embrace being bathed in human biohazard waste possibly tinged with HIV, HEPC, TB..., they were up in the balcony where it's commonly expected to watch all the shananigans without any imminent danger coming your way.

As for Carorline being preggers in a concert, big deal, she was seated and not in a mosh pit. Exposure to a bit of cigarette smoke and alcohol in moderation throughout the course of a pregnancy is not the detramental catastrophe that you peeps are making it out to be. Very matter of factly, some experts even argue that it produces a stronger baby, with a superior immune system. So her taking her pregnant self to a concert and sitting in a box surrounded by her family is really not a big deal. However, having some cut-up, oldfart, junkie with a few catchy songs, go out of his way to spit on her and throw shit up at her is.

As someone who is somewhat familiar with the Corrs, I have to admit that their not the high and mighty, smug individuals that the Iggy fans play them to be. They just aren't self hating and can't be bothered by those who take themselves too seriously, such as an anorexic, belittling, little man on stage and his throng of self deprecating followers(who think his music is higher than thou).

As I stated earlier it's just a matter of taste and how serious you actually take yourself for liking what you like. Some people seem to think that because they base their lives around a certain type of music and are well versed in it, they have the right to disparage others because they don't agree with their lifestyle or tastes. We are never going to agree, and a thousand points could be argued in favor of either side, but quite frankly, I just can't be bothered any further.

(Or, to put it another way, how many artists out there are imitating Michael Jackson? How many are imitating the Corrs? Which group is more successful?)

That was the first point of my last post, you ass.

Moreover, you take a potshot or two at people who take music seriously, oblivious to the fact that this is a music discussion board (i.e. *EVERYONE* here obviously takes music seriously).

As someone who is somewhat familiar with the Corrs, I have to admit that their(sic not the high and mighty, smug individuals that the Iggy fans play them to be. They just aren't self hating and can't be bothered by those who take themselves too seriously, such as an anorexic, belittling, little man on stage and his throng of self deprecating followers(who think his music is higher than thou).

..So, again, why the FUCK were they at an Iggy Pop concert?

What kind of quack would advise this, Dr. Pepper? Would love for you to come up with the research that advocated this.

Awwww! IIII wanted to say that!

"All? No ? one, less wary than his fellows or less fleet of foot, or perhaps simply possessed of a curiosity disarming in one so hideous of aspect, had lingered by the shelves, paging through a crumbling volume, of proust of all things. The door closed, as if it had never been, and he was trapped!! He would put a brave face on it, but there were clearly days when he he cursed the day he had ever arrived... "

If you had bother to read the thread you'll realise that this possibility has already been considered and rejected for the very simple and obvious reason that if they liked Iggy Pop they would have known exactly what to expect when attending one of his gigs.

and no, i don't like the corrs' music very much.

If the Corrs had just LOOKED AT THIS They would've known what they were up against.

How can anyone possibly know what to expect at any artist's concert? If everyone was predictable no one would go to the concerts, because they would know what to expect. The Corrs were obviously fans, and Iggy Pop is a totally irrational person. He would get really boring and not be as popular if he continually did the same things at every concert. How can anyone predict anyone's behaviour, especially Iggy Pop's?
By the way that little spat between the two "men" well it all seems very immature to me, why don't you both get lives.

and Sad Sad Iggy would make an excellent Chairman of the Bored...

So Iggy Pop makes a so-called ‘profession’ out of being an egocentric, altruistic, maniacal, twisted fuck. At least he makes money from it. But what can be said for you sad assholes that call yourselves his fans? Defending someone as disgusting as “Mr Pop” who salivates and hemorrhages on his drugged up, fucked up followers?? Not much.

It’s plain to see that you lowlifes know nothing about the Corrs. To say that they are lacking in talent is a complete joke. Try playing Toss the Feathers or Trout in the Bath on the violin (you know what that is right…?) and you’ll eat your own shit before saying that again.

Get a life you sad, sad cunts because the Corrs are absolutely fucking brilliant and as far as their true fans are concerned, here to stay (yes in 30 years time).

Amy G is absolutely right, The Corrs have every right to attend an Iggy Pop gig if they want to - what they DON'T have the right to do is complain afterwards when Iggy does the stuff that Iggy has always done. That's a bit like getting on a roundabout and then complaining that it goes round and round and round.

"So Iggy Pop makes a so-called ‘profession’ out of being an egocentric, altruistic, maniacal, twisted fuck."

"Altruistic"? Are you entirely sure?!?

Will The Corrs still be around in 30 years time?

Well.... why not? Stranger things have been known. The Eagles have been around that long, Phil Collins has been around that long

Will anyone (other than their own fans) consider them to be or have been in any way important or significant in the development of modern music?

I think not.

Try eating your own shit and I think you’ll find playing Toss the Feathers or Trout in the Bath on the violin are a far more appealing proposition.

So you're suggesting that maybe they should swap fans?

mark s- on the chartpopsters' side till the very end.

both IP and corrs are really as bad as each other.

*BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha*
