Geir Hongro - Classic or Dud?

That never stopped Oasis, oh wait

Not mad about this thread though tbh

No

this thread'd have been locked years ago if it were anyone else.

It's a very old thread, and all the old 'locked' threads became unlocked at one point...

I think another part of the reason why people are mean to Geir is that he's so passively good natured about it all, and godblessim for it.

I don't see it as being passively good natured at all

Why be mean to someone who is genuinely passively good natured?

kinda worried about the Private Torment of Geir Hongro though, the bullied kid with the beatific smile.

most people would be out of ilx for good

He wants to be bullied

I'm inclined to believe that Geir states his opinions in the dogmatic tone he does simply out of irreverence - an understandable impulse given the sometimes somewhat over-bearing popist/rhythmico-fascist consensus that prevails on this board.

Geir is Geir and always will be Geir (i imagine). get over it and get on with your own lives.

real heads will know that it's titchyschneider that is actually ilx's premier subliminal chinese water-torturer - geir is but childs play in comparison.

Is that Michael Moore?

xpost to Freedom, you are joking right, or maybe a geirsock?

Nah, I'm also sick of ILM's endless refusal to discuss anything but rhythmico-fascism.

It's getting so a guy can't drop a challop round here without somebody challenging it.

Chair of the Anti-rhymico-co-rosie-fascist League calling the AGM to order, earlier.

Ha. The Rhythm Nation video is Geir's nightmare dystopia: 1984, only with funky black people in charge and anyone who likes advanced chord changes is imprisoned for thoughtcrime.

The Popist era on ILM is a long time gone

anyone who likes advanced chord changes

master plan of getting this term treated like it means something moving along nicely I see, well played Mr. Hongroe

Well, the use of the word "fascist" was a jokey over-statement obviously, but I stand by the rest of it. If you ILM Army Council deems it challopy then so be it. I am now going to get my guitar and shift from a major to a diminished triad chord without fear.

you = the

Geirsock.

I am now going to get my guitar and shift from a major to a diminished triad chord without fear.

that'll be a really complex chord change

i think you'll find it's a melodic modulation invented in 1967 but clearly influenced by western musical history and music hall

And in the blue corner:

ILM without Geir would be like one of those '70s disaster movies without that one contrary character who antagonizes everybody and always contradicts the self-styled leader ("I'm not going that way - I'm going THIS way! Who's with me?") and ultimately seals his own fate - in other words, unimaginable. Besides, he gets things right sometimes (twice a day, just like that broken clock.) Definitely more classical than duddical.

Blues corner? XTC has nothing do with the amelodics scraping and wailing of an inferior form such as the blues. (xp)

Is there a special edited version of ILM that's all Tin Pan Alley and R'n'B all the time and I'm missing out?

Because to be honest, ze enemy, she ees not zhair.

And also, I'm not a Geirsock, you lemon. I don't agree with his opinions. I just find the demonisation of him daft is all.

Well, I thought red corner, i.e. red, i.e. commie pinko self-flagellating multicultural rhythmico-fascist liberals, so blue was more appropriate.

WHEN O WHEN WILL THEY GIVE CLASSIC ROCK A CHANCE?

Insofar as Geir is laid into, I think zee enemy is there. He's dissed for being dogmatic, but surely phrasing your opinions as objective fact is fairly commonplace? It is in the antipathy to this that I see vestiges of rhythmico-fascism.

He is dissed for more than simply being dogmatic

with seriousface on, its really only the crypto-racist stuff that bothers me.

"those '70s disaster movies without that one contrary character who antagonizes everybody and always contradicts the self-styled leader ("I'm not going that way - I'm going THIS way! Who's with me?") and ultimately seals his own fate"

in the movie - the character doesnt have a choice but to stay with the group, while here - he is free to leave, yet doesn't.
whats the interest?

OTM. He's fine otherwise. (xp)

... well, he's not too bad, can be OK

yeah sorry he's on some dickbrain shit at best and a crypto-racist at worst. dud.

"hi i'm geir hongro, i'm going to join a music discussion website and re-iterate my crypto-racey music dogma at everybody for nine years and not move a jot in my own way of thinking, or engage meaningfully with anyone." fuck off.

I don't see where the crypto-racist stuff is. He doesn't dislike melodic music that happens to be made by black people, so it is clearly solely to do with aesthetic taste, no?
