Get off of Every-n's case. I love the YYYs but he can say what he wants.

[Anngella]

It's actually pretty decent, but nowhere close to the original.

Not every one lives in america.
Im trying to fucking download it but I can't get the damn code right!

[porkmarras]

My,a thread about motherfucking YYY's causes such pain?I havent heard their version but i bet that it's shite.Some people like them,so what?

[Daddylikes]

I love how everyone here slags the YYY's, but it was Sonic Youth (and Thurston in particular) who helped promote them and get them signed to interscope.

You would think that a band that is intimately related to the band everyone here is such a big fan of wouldn't be universally shunned for such a lame reason as being on a major label and/or selling a lot of records.

I'm not a YYY's fan, but I have no idea why anyone would hate them.

All the hate they receive here makes me want to actually be a fan, because I think most of you pseudo-tards are idiots.

[porkmarras]

As opposite to think that their music is just plain rubbish?Who cares about what record label puts their records out?Some bands sell out from the start but they still make good music.Yeah Yeah Yeahs are not one of them.If somebody likes them......good for them!

[Daddylikes]

Yeah, because the yeah yeah yeah's never sold out, and their music isn't exactly "rubbish"

Yeah, and so can I. Pretty simple, isn't it?

I Totally Agree, But I don't want to haer it because I love that song and would like to remember it the way it was,Sonic style.

[Alex's Trip]

What other SY songs have been covered?

All I know is this, Unmade Bed, Bull In the Heather...?

I saw a torrent on Dime recently of a 2day festival with local bands from Austin or somewhere like that, with only covers.
One of the tracks is Teenage Riot.

why do yeah yeah yeah fans can't accept the fact that maybe they are clinging to a shitty band who makes shitty music and just get by on critical acclaim and fashion? maybe they think that because they have devoted so much time and money to an empty fad and don't want to think they have wasted all that time and money, they try to defend them for never "selling out" and being the best band ever. i mean, nobody likes to be wrong.

i wonder how much money touch & go got from releasing their first album?

i also wonder why yeah yeah yeah fans can't accept that there's people who don't like their music on the grounds that their music is not good, derivative and watered down, not because they play with sonic youth (which i don't give a fuck, i dislike magik markers as much as i dislike yyy...well, not that much anymore) or because they are on a major, and when people express that they don't like them they think hitler o and the band are gonna lose money and won't be able to afford garbage bags to use as miniskirts and won't be able to be fashionable chic anymore so they not only start insulting people but also start insulting them racially, and are as stupid and moronic in it that they don't even get it right.

i don't like their cover and, thanks to you, now i hate them and won't ever give them the time of day, deal with it.

and i can't wait until you retards quote this post and type "LEARN HOW TO WRITE, YOU ARE AN IDIOT; MEXICANS ARE SLOW AND SHOULD BE KILLED". which by the way, it's such an intelligent way of debating a point. yes, that was sarcasm.

I still don't understand why you keep coming back here, if you hate them so much.

I could just as easily point the finger at you and call you pretentious and self-important for hating them. It is just so cool to hate the popular band, and you feel the need to continually come back into this thread to let everyone know. The "i hope karen o dies of cancer" post wasn't even provoked, and neither was this last one of yours. But I'm not gonna point that finger at you because I don't know your true intentions for coming in here so much. Somehow you seem to know the YYYs intentions behind their music and this cover, and you know that they are trying to be pretentious and self-important.

So do you want to tell us why you keep coming in here, unprovoked, to talk trash about the band? We know you don't like them, we (I) don't care. Is it because you can? Or because you are a pretentious self-important loser who needs to make sure that eveyone on the internet knows it? Please enlighten me.

Edit: 12 posts in a thread about a band that you hate so much.

those comments are not directed at you, you are not a racist intolerant person.

and i was provoked

[Alex's Trip]

That is why I only quoted part of your post.

[Everyneurotic]

so, you lost a potential fan, what you lose points and won't get you that microwave the yyy fan club promised you?

i'm sure you hate a lot of music i love, but i don't get anal about it; as i said, i was provoked by people other than you and i'm respoding to them
.

[Alex's Trip]

??? Hey, I'm not a huge fan of the YYYs. I liked the first album, and couple songs off their new one. But I would hardly call them a favorite.

So was it the racist comments that made you say "i hope karen o dies of cancer" or was it something I missed?

[Alex's Trip]

Okay, I'm done here now.
