Posted By: MeanstreakOld navel gazing grey men who never themselves wrote a decent song.I don’t need to be a chef to distingush between bad and good meals. I consume them every day, same with music, hence I would like to believe I know a thing or 2 regardless.
Posted By: WarMachine73Fully agree, Ballbreaker lyrics are pure sht and trashy and nothing clever in them at all. At least let’s get it up try’s to hide it a bit.

Whoa, get a load of this guy, he thinks he can criticize LEGENDARY artists!
For real though, lyrics aren't meant to be read. They're meant to be sung and with music behind them. The delivery is what makes lyrics work, and you're also limited in what you can do within the context of the song. I'm sure a lot of artists would like to get more wordy and lyrically impressive, but it would not work melodically.
Posted By: St. LooyIn an interview Mick Jagger was asked why, with such an outstanding lifestyle, with so many stories, doesn't he write songs about his life. His answer was "I do, it's just in code, and no-one knows the key except me"...
Posted By: Badlands66Ok, I’ll bite, though making bold claims would be more your department if memory serves, mr “I write better riffs than Iommi”
That would be your opinion, there are artists fully capable of penning good lyrics and make them fit within the framework of the song. The only limit is how astute you are at your craft. Springsteen, Bowie, Dylan, Tina Turner etc. all had this gift.

I think you missed the sarcasm but way to go for the low hanging fruit.
You're missing the point; I didn't say artists can't write good lyrics, I said the medium of music is inherently more limiting than, say, novel writing.

No, I just didn’t give a rats ass what you were trying to get across. Pretty sure everybody in here has had plenty of you already.
No, didn’t miss a point at all…..cause you have no point, sure it’s more limited than writing a book, everybody and their mother knows that. If you are good enough at your craft, you’ll both pen great stuff and deliver it masterfully in the track. Only thing is, precious few are that good.

Posted By: RoccoYou’re a gem Toilet: you even manage to make me agree with Badlands66 for once.
Posted By: ToiletWallPoet If I had no point, why did you so badly need to "set me straight"?Your reading comprehension clearly needs to be better, all the bollocks you posted clearly fits within the context of my previous post,
Posted By: ToiletWallPoetLOL, dude you're just embarrassing yourself now.

A one trick pony eh? You kinda know exactly how shit is gonna unfold after reading a couple of exchanges between you and others in here. Try a bit harder dipshit.
Posted By: ForThoseAboutToPostI hate to sound like your mom, but do you guys think Bon would want y’all fighting like this on a board dedicated to his band? Do you think Brian would wanna buy two guys bickering like old men a pint at the pub?
