Not sure if the band asking him to "retract his endorsements" was necessary in the slightest...
|
| |
Not sure if it was actually the band asking him to do so. It's happened before where "representation" acts without the band's knowledge.
|
| |
Beck is an idiot though, I don't care who you are. I'd be really embarrassed if he even took the notion that he had any clue of what I was all about if I didn't know him.

rofl, awesome

"Glenn Beck, the Fox News commentator, was joking when he claimed that the British rock band Muse had asked him to withdraw an endorsement for their music, it has emerged."

This is exactly the sort of thing Beck would do, too.
|
| |
Oh, perfect. Can I manage to squeeze that into the article or is it now not news-worthy?
|
| |
i remember this. i lol'ed
|
| |
And once again Glenn Beck uses childish sarcasm to belittle those who disagree with him.
|
| |
If i just spent 4 minutes praising a band's cd only to have them tell me that i'm too much of a douchebag to like them I'd be sarcastic too.
edit: i didn't see the post claiming it was fake. gah
|
| |

Yeah...pretty sure this has become un-newsworthy. Now it's just another joke...unless it gets blown up out of proportion.
|
| |
Ah, well, I updated the article and now it can be deleted if deemed useless, haha. Of course, if Muse responds to Beck's fooling around, then things become legitimate.
|
| |
so what exactly happened here???
|
| |
its like when thom york asked miley cyrus to retract her endorsement of radiohead
|
| |
^ hahaha i remember laughing really hard at that. didn't she say she was going to 'ruin them'?
|
| |
Yes. And she totally did too.
|
| |
Yeah, somehow Miley's hatebomb failed to detonate.
Wonder waht she could've done.....maybe get dead old daddy to cover Radiohead?
|
| |
Hahaha, dear old daddy, dear lol
|
| |
Wait... what? Did Glenn Beck do something nonsensical again?
That's not exactly news, haha.
|
| |
The craziest part of this is him liking the album.
|
| |
And once again Glenn Beck uses childish sarcasm to belittle those who disagree with him.
Not going to lie, I actually like the guy.
|
| |
Muse: What's the harm in getting a plug to any potential buyer.
Beck: Wasn't totally necessary to respond like that after getting your face slapped.
|
| |
Do you like him, or are you entertained by him?... big difference.
|
| |
i for one am entertained
the guy is a nutcase, but he's a fun one to watch
also this could lead to MANY lulz
|
| |
thanks sputnik, I only submitted this post THE DAY IT HAPPENED!!!! wtf!?
|
| |
Glenn beck is a retard.
|
| |
so glenn beck knows he's a douchebag?
|
| |
how can he not? look at his face
|
| |
Do you like him, or are you entertained by him?... big difference.
I actually like him. I watched his show like everyday when he was on Headline News.
|
| |
I just hate Glenn Beck all together, end of story.
I didn't like The Resistance, but The Resistance > Glenn Beck
|
| |
From what I understand, he's changed a lot since his time at HNN/HLN. He used to be a semi-rational libertarian, but now he's morphed into some kind of populist reactionary with a very tenuous grasp on reality, who exploits racial fears for a living. *sigh* The things people will do for money.
|
| |
This makes Muse look ridiculous. It also shows that Muse apparently listen to the Glenn Beck Radio Show.
I guess we can revel in the irony at the very least.
|
| |
Yes, I did:

|
| |
i strongly doubt muse asked him to detract his statements, they just don't want to be labeled as any particular political party advocates.
|
| |
thats a little too pretnentious of muse to do. the least they couldve said was "hey were not libertarian but thanks for enjoying the CD" or something like that you know?
|
| |
guess no one read the ammendment to the article?
If we keep feeding glenn beck with all this attention we'll never get rid of him
|
| |
Yeah, the article ammendment seemed to slip by most people here.
|
| |
this is a little ridiculous. Rise Against leaves West Palm to avoid militarism, that gives them credibility and character, Muse complains because someone uncool approves of their music? that sure defines their character: desperate for indie cred (which their music is sure not gaining them).
I didnt realize Muse' fan base was so selective. I hope their record sales reflect that elite and minuscule few.
|
| |
I actually like Beck and just listened to the segment where he discusses Muse. What actually happened was he was joking off-air about how no "cool" rock band would want his endorsement. When the show resumed, he went on to "retract" his endorsement. During the process of this "retraction" you can hear the entire studio laughing when he says he just received an email from the record label and they were demanding a retraction. You would have to be an IDIOT to think he was being serious. Furthermore, do you think that anyone representing Muse listens to Glen Beck? And even if they did (big "if"), then they'd somehow find Glen Beck's personal email address and contact him within 5 minutes of him saying he liked the band? Ridiculous. Whoever posted this article is a moron.

Whoever listens to/watches glenn beck is a moron.
|

people just dont like glenn beck cause he has the balls to say what no one else will...

That there's a nigger in the White House and he shits his pants every time he thinks of it?
He's a blonde asshole and he looks like Perez Hilton.
I think he looks more like a man with Parkinson's tried to draw Rodney Dangerfield's features on a golf ball.
|
| |
Steerpike always comes through with the awesome quotes. A man with parkinsons trying to draw Rodney Dangerfield's features on a golfball is one of your better ones.
|
| |
He's a blonde asshole and he looks like Perez Hilton. Fuck him and his fanbase, and fuck you coloradotexan because you clearly lick the rim of his asshole like the dried in flakes of shit crisping and being absorbed into his cells are your lifeblood.
People like you make it look like Glenn Beck is winning the battle. Good job.
|
| |
Glenn Beck would like Muse's worst album.
|
| |
exellent point there KebertXela
|
| |
Glenn Beck ain't THAT bad guys...we all know there isn't one person in the media with any credibility anyway. The media nowadays is just different networks or individuals spouting off their own opinions with no regard whatsoever to objectivity. Even so though, i'd rather listen to a Glenn Beck rant than Muse's new album.
|
| |
The only battle for Glenn Beck to win is the battle against his suicidal thoughts and his urge to cry over the smallest things.

0:35-0:42 "exposed himself as a guy over and over and over again who has a deep seated hatred for white people."
2:00-2:04 "i'm not saying he doesn't like white people."

@musicaddiction101: that's a good example of glen beck being a fucktard.
|
| |
beck should have left it at "the album is fantastic"..if he didnt go on to say they were libertarian and started labeling them I doubt theyd have a problem.. who doesnt want positive reviews?
|
| |
Glenn Beck is a fantastic actor.
|

Why are people so calm and composed especially considering Glenn Beck viciously raped and murdered a girl in 1990? You'd think if anyone else raped and murdered a girl in 1990 they'd at least get some jail time for raping and murdering a girl in 1990. I don't PERSONALLY think Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990, but he refused to refute this. What is he trying to hide?!?
I for one will not stop until I see a I Did Not Rape And Murder A Young Girl In 1990 certificate.
|

Yeah being bought and owned by the insurance lobbyists will do that. Good to see our elected officials looking out for their constituents!
