Iggy Vs The Corrs

Oh, so just because you think that The Corrs will be long forgotten in twenty years time it means that you can spit on them?! Grow up.

What did they do to deserve that? Just because they went to one of his shows they deserved to be spat at?! Anyone who believes it's normal to spit at people for absolutely no reason other then hating them, is insane.

Quote from an interview with Andrea from December 4th:

[quote][b]Didn't you get abuse from Iggy Pop at one of his gigs?[/b]
Unfortunately, that's true. We have the same tour manager and we were in a box and I didn't want to make a spectacle of myself by dancing all night. The last thing you want is for the audience to be distracted by someone from another band being there. It's a respect thing. He got quite frightening, swearing at us and trying to throw things at us from the stage.

[b]So you'll be buying no more Iggy albums?[/b]
No. It frightened me; I was sitting beside my pregnant sister. It was looking very scary - he has apologised but I think he was out of order. It wasn't because it was us; he would have done the same to anyone up there and I find that behaviour disgusting.[/quote]

keep telling yerself that luv, i reckon kelly osborne mightve got off a bit lighter...

Damn right it is.

You find that entertaining?

Even if you weren't a fan of the Corrs, wouldn't common decency indicate that not only do you not spit at people, you do not terrorise a pregnant woman? Hell! She could have miscarried or anything!

And it should go for everyone, not just because OMG, Iggy Pop is such a maniac and people should expect those kinds of things.

NO ONE should have to be treated like that, whether they're at an Iggy Pop concert or a S Club 7 concert. No one has the right to act like that.

And you ask why Jim Corr didn't retaliate? He may be protective of his sisters, but he's certainly not stupid. Anything that he did, he would probably have been set upon by people such as yourselves.

Hell! She could have miscarried or anything!
Spit has been known to have that effect. Second hand smoke at a concert, however, is fine. (I dunno - is there smoking at shows over there?)

If they had spit back at him (real lugey-like) and shouted "I got a right!" he would have laughed... next time they'll know.

The right answer:

*FINALLY* someone gets it! Thank you, J!

I think these theories as to why The Man-Corr didn't immediately leap to his feet and give Iggy the thrashing he so clearly and richly deserves, actually made me laugh even harder than the original story!

but who cares what you losers think of them, do they care ? no! they care about the fans they have, the fans they have had from the beginning and who has supported them throughout. not sad losers like iggypop, goodness, i would never even heard of iggy pop if he had never done the theme song to trainspotting. :rolleyes:

if u dont like the corrs stop talking about them and wasting time.

idiots, go do something constructive with your time than talk about people you obviously dont know at all!!!

How naive you are to think that we Corrs fans will ever forget them! You have no idea how hard i'm laughing right now.

I am fully aware that going to an Iggy concert is one where you the audience have to take some risks, but remember, it was not the Corrs who made their presence known, but Iggy himself. If the Corrs wanted the attention, they would have found a way to do it, like all humans do, but they didn't.

Think about it, if Iggy hated them so much, he would ignore them. Isn't that what we do to those we hate? I know i do.

Sit and think about what you're saying before your emotions run terribly wild, and leave you with an impression that may not be one you wish to see tomorrow, or even show your kids.

That is all i have to say on this

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.
