Elton John Is A Twat!

Really!? Comparing Miley Cyrus to Frank Zappa! Are you fucking kidding me! That is the biggest stretch I've heard since David Fricke of Rolling Stone compared Kurt Cobain to John Lennon!

Honestly I don't see anything in that article that is offensive. He is comparing the two of them in the sense that they both made unexpected moves when picking record recording partners. It's not like he's saying that Miley and Frank Zappa are equally talented, you know?

 

Kanye West's production style is like modern jazz? Are you shitting me? To Sir Elton John:

 

Maybe Zappa was channeling Miley when he wrote "Crew Slut" for the Joe's Garage album. It's her!

Whos Frank Zappa anyway, whats so great about him?

Miley Cyrus is a superior talent in all ways

 

PS: Although not defending Sir Elton, always thought he was a twat

 

Actually, he was comparing Mileys decision to record nude with the Flaming lips to some of the outrageous and spontaneous stage antics Zappa did during his shows, back in the day. Poor comparison, but hey, Eltons a twat. Comparing Frank to Miley in any manner is a freaking travesty anyway.
They are at complete opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to the way they approach contemporary music. Franks music is art, Mileys music is commodity.

Edit; I should add that as for picking unexpected recording partners, I guess you could say frank did that when he hired Flo & Eddy ( Howard kaylan and Mark Volman, formerly of the band "the turtles) and to a certain degree he hire them because they could "put on the mustache" as Frank put it. Be spontaneously comedic on stage

But mostly he hired them for their ability to read, comprehend and accurately perform very difficult music.

 

Only one the most respected and influential composers of the late 20th century, is all.

 

When Miley Cyrus records a song about anal sex in 19/16 time then I'll appreciate the comparison:

(Love the groove at the end....dang it, they cut it short!)


Joe's Garage is such a masterpiece. So much music, so well executed and recorded.

 

What a gay ****.

 

Probably would use as Exhibit A to show how important Bernie Taupin was to Elton John's success.

 

Pretty sure he wouldn't deny that remark, lol

 

Yes he is a twat and a Gay **** ( Lolled at that )
But He did a lovely song

I was kind of being serious


So what is the height of Zappas career?

Sorry, just seems he never really got anywhere

I once saw Elton John perform for 3 hours without a break while wearing a majestic purple robe. Nothing can ever take that away from me and I will never think he is a twat.

But I really do hate how Miley and the flaming lips are working so closely together. wtf doesn't even make sense to me. I know the flaming lips have always put a big emphasis on their performance and stage show and maybe something about Miley speaks to them in that regard, I dunno.. I really don't get it.
