or am I alone. seriously... If I had no morals, full metal and a clear shot.... RGH! Ok so i wouldnt go that far.. but god DAMN I hate him sorry if you're a fan of his "music"
Jus saw a commercial with him advertisin fer Target, the store. What the fuck, I mean, I kinda liked him before, but now he's another sellout.
Yeah, I don't like him much either. I don't know why, but I think he tries to act like hendrix, it bothers me.
And Prince, and Bob Marley, and just about everyone else ever.... I wonder what Lenny Kravitz actually sounds like, not Lenny Kravitz as (insert legendary influential easily copied music hero here).
i used to like him, but his new cd is shit. cant believe i wasted $14 on it. Where Are We Runnin is a great song, but thats the only good song on Baptism. The commercial I saw too, that sucks. I still kinda like him, I mean if it were possible he could be the only member in his band, but he is nowhere nere Hendrix like he thinks he is.
Look, I'm not a Lenny Kravitz fan, but what you said just isn't right. Of course you only compared him to black artists because he is black, not because of his music. He does not sound like Prince or Bob Marley. He gets a bad rap about "copying Hendrix" because Hendrix is really the only other artist to compare Kravitz to, visually. I don't think his music is great, but he gets some unnecessary crap for being a black rock artist.
I didn't say that because he was black! Why the hell are you trying to accuse me of being racist? I'm so sick of that stupid line that "It's because he's black." Look at every look the dumbass has ever had. When he first came out, he was a spitting image in every way of Bob Marley, except he sucked. Then, he went Hendrix and got the afro and tried to be trippy, except he sucked. Now he's got the Prince pomp and the velvet pants and the gay ass sunglasses, and he still sucks. It's not because he's black. It's because he's trying too hard to be other people instead of himself. Don't blame me because they're black. He's the one doing it. He's not even all the way black. He's half Jewish. So I'm a Nazi now, too.
Coincidently, I was almost going to start ranting about this moron today, after I saw that Target commercial one too many times. The guy is a joke. All his fame is built around his good looks and his style. The guy is like the ultimate poseur. His music sounds so fucking plastic. That is because it's 98% high-tech recording technology, and maybe 1 or 2% actual talent, if that. It's like "Maybe if I try to dress like Hendrix and look all pretty while I sing my crappy music, all the idiots and mindless teens will go out and buy my CD from Target. I suck Target's cock. I am a mindless, corporate whore pop-artist, and I am so important because I date celebrities and look so pretty."
Look, I don't think that Lenny Kravitz is any good and I'm not calling you a racist either. He sucks, and I don't like his music at all. All I'm saying is that really, the only person he is compared to is Jimi Hendrix, and when you're compared to Hendrix, you suck. I mean, there are TONS of white rock artists who suck and try to look like great, classic rock musicians, but they don't get any shit like this. All of these "classic rock revival" groups that are now trying to play 60s sounding music and wear 60s/70s style clothes and Beatle-esque moptops aren't targeted like Kravitz is... all I'm saying.
"Anyone else wanna throw burning garbage at Lenny Kravitz?" No, but I would like to lick whipped cream off his chest. Seriously though, umm... no, wait, I was being serious.
As the subject title says, I'll be seeing Lenny Kravitz when he comes to Yokohama on July 25. Actually, I'm not paying 14,000 yen (about $135) to see him, but the Rock Odyssey - a new music festival - is coming to Yokohama, and Kravitz, Trapt, the Black Eyed Peas, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers are performing among others. I'm paying the ridiculous amount of money mostly to see the RHCP, but I'm interested in seeing Kravitz and the Black Eyed Peas. As for his music, I like some of his songs, and when I was younger, my father and I would often work out together while listening to the "5" album (that was my father's album). That album wasn't too bad. I haven't seen the Target commercial (maybe it's good that I haven't), but I do know he's appeared in an ad for Target. Not something I'm really thrilled about, but that's life. But bigger problem with Kravitz is that I read somewhere that he admitted to not having voted in awhile despite having played in some fundraisers for Democratic politicians. As for him trying to be like Hendrix, maybe I'm clueless, but I just don't see it. Of course, it's easy for people to compare him to Hendrix... in fact, too easy. Unless he really sucks in Yokohama on July 25, I have no reason to throw garbage at him. Since that day will be a lot better than a same-old Sunday at work.
What's sad is that once upon a time Lenny had two pretty good albums. I liked "Sister" and "Heaven Help" and "What Goes Around Comes Around". The new CD seriously sucks kitty litter, and the one before that blew ping-pong balls. Maybe the guy should try acting....maybe get a part in Charlies Angels 3, or maybe Mod Squad 2, or some such snivelly gibberish.....
damn right words cannot express how much I despise LK and his "music", give me Savage Garden over Lenny any day lol
