Quizzy is basically AMIT's CNN. :)

One could also see it the other way round.
That he knows everything better, that other musicians (at BG) do everything wrong and that he has to have the last word at everything.
And then we are at Donald Trump.
Not really, because as far as I can see, Quizzy is voicing his opinion but not trying to stop anyone else giving theirs.

Well, in the slightly arrogant way and harsh words with which he smashes MK's and GF's last work from his mighty throne of knowledge he does indeed resemble certain people.
Poor MK can call himself lucky Quizzy lets himself down to even grant him a critique at all.

Wow, Skydiver is pretty mad at me. Hey man, I can guarantee you if you'd know me in real life you'd talk another language. In the Internet we're all like actors, different people than in the real life. People who know me personally they know that I basically trust nothing and nobody and not afraid of nothing and anybody. If I hear the worst drums in the whole MK's discography (One Song At A Time) I feel free to say it and have people behind me to agree. I'm not an expert, but even I hear that the drum job on this track is really not the best one. What do you have to prove me wrong? That it's the best drum pattern you've ever heard in your life? That's what I'm talking about.

Dusty, thanks for that CNN line, it made my day :lol

See, this is disappointing. Basically a personal attack on a fellow AMIT member.

By all means argue against his points but don't just call him names.

Dusty, I am with you to not call other AMIT members names.
But I had to contradict strongly your very unlucky political comparison Trump/CNN.
Let's leave out politics.

For the avoidance of doubt, this was directed at Skydiver's comment, should have quoted. :)

"Arrogant" "Harsh" "Throne of knowledge", personal attacks and against the rules.

The Trump comparison appears to have touched a nerve, which it wouldn't have if it wasn't apt, so I stand by it.

The choice of words in even the first post of this thread  with "kills", "hate", "pissed off" or "ruined" is so aggressive and negative that...
But I don't want to continue with this any further and leave it at this.

So anyone who is upset by being compared with Trump is against freedom of speech? Faulty logic much?

They weren't directed at you or any other member so they are perfectly legitimate. This forum is a safe space for people to comment on MK, good or bad.

I'd say the burden of proof lies with you.

I don't really care enough to get into an argument my friend, I just used it as an example of how dangerous it can be when people try to stop others from voicing their opinion.

This is one of the greatest weeks in my life - the week when for the first time I will sit down and listen to songs from my all time favourite artist, songs that, for better or worse, I will know word for word, note for note in a couple of months.

I've had, I don't know, 13 or so weeks like this since 1991 - depends of you include live albums.

Only twice I've been disappointed I think, 93 with On The Night and 2007 with KTGC.

If it happens again on Friday then of course I will be on here to register my disgust around the globe. :)

So anyway, it's an exciting time, let's get along and enjoy it, even if we don't enjoy the record, no need to get personal.
