Jun 12, 2008 - Hmmm.. Well.Great song.WinterFist its fine if Gangrene wants to voice his opinions. But then again he is also verbally attacking you which causes you to retaliate. But then again everyone knows that if they insult Tom Waits; they're going to get it.@Winter: Your contradicting yourself...
WinterFist Says:
Jun 12, 2008 - I wasn't going to insult you, your username says it all. Yes you can call me a hypocrit, and maybe one day I'll stop being one. but you will probably always be a fuckwit.

Jun 12, 2008 - Quick question why do idiots only look up musix they hate? cause that all i see on this site morons who only seem to try and find that which they hate instead of something they enjoy

Jun 14, 2008 - I like when people start to argue about artists talent or lack of talent. Usually, if they really like what they do, I don't think they give a shit about it. It doesn't matter if 100000 people don't like the way he sings. He won't do anything to change it.

Jun 18, 2008 - Wow. He's all like blarg *crackle* hack/cough!! it's oddly attractive.

Jun 23, 2008 - WinterFag-Classic YouTube badass! When you can't defend your argument or make any poignant statements, sidestep the argument and go for the irrelevant stuff: their username!! Holy sweet mother of GOD you are stupid. Fuck.
WinterFist Says:
Jun 23, 2008 - Ah yes I clearly bashed your username first when you called me WinterFag... Dickweed.
GangreneVagina Says:
Jun 25, 2008 - whac-Well said.
GangreneVagina Says:
Jun 25, 2008 - WinterRetard-You have a serious problem with chronology. You started it. I didn't go looking for you to insult you. You came looking to me and started insulting me. As usual, the so-called "defenders" of arguments are actually the instigators. And also as usual, we're so far off-topic it's ridiculous. You're pathetic. Grow up, little boy.
GangreneVagina Says:
Jun 25, 2008 - Arkannon-#1 If you're referring to me, you've got it all wrong. Not surprising though - YouTube is littered with retards. I don't hate it. I said his voice his horrible, but the music is good. Well written - would be better off sung by someone with a nice voice.#2 Has it ever occurred to you that someone might not know they hate it or dislike it until AFTER they've viewed it? Of course not. A simply concept like that would be lost on someone like you.
WinterFist Says:
Jun 25, 2008 - No, you started it off by insulting me first. I said "Truly remarkable. Fuck the idiots who are saying this sounds like a cookie monster or one of their farts - They know nothing about Tom Waits otherwise they would agree this is truly incredible." - You called me a faggot for saying this, therefore you caused the arguement. I would like to know how if Tom Waits was so bad, Why would the worlds best guitarist Steve Vai say that Tom Waits is his favourite artist? Is Steve Vai pathetic now? Idiot.
longfang40 Says:
Jun 27, 2008 - u hav to admit though some people do seem to comment on things they hate.... im a basketball fan and u will find the same person on loads of kobe bryant videos hating on him! just stupid..... so u hav loads of arguements under videos.... gd song
GangreneVagina Says:
Jun 27, 2008 - WinterMoron-Dumb fuck. You are truly a dumb fuck. You claim I started it and in the same breath go on to say how YOU first wrote "Fuck the idiots who are saying this sounds like a cookie monster or one of their farts"Go kill yourself for being so stupid. Please. Do us all a favor. You are a worthless pile of dogshit.
WinterFist Says:
Jun 28, 2008 - Give it a rest will you smelly cunt? Although I would like to see what you come up with next, is it going to be WinterFuck or WinterDumb or WinterMeanie or WinterDick. Anyhow you are breaking my heart and reducing me to tears, it's so sad that you can be so pathetic :D Oh it's all laughs and giggles isn't it? You still haven't given me a reply on my question, "Why would the worlds best guitarist Steve Vai say that Tom Waits is his favourite artist?"
whac Says:
Jun 28, 2008 - Thank You.
GangreneVagina Says:
Jun 30, 2008 - WinterPoleSmoker-The variations of your name you guessed are far too boring for me to select. "Give it a rest"? This coming from the tool who simply CAN NOT stop replying to me. LOL! Apparently, you consider Steve Vai to be the end-all in musical opinion and assume I regard his opinion as gospel too, for you insist on asking an absurdly irrelevant question repeatedly. Do you really think Steve considers himself the best guitarist on earth? Doubtful. Stop being silly, WinterHomo. :-)
WinterFist Says:
Jun 30, 2008 - Oh dear oh dear, the wrath of GangreneVagina strikes again! Yeah your variations on the name are getting boring I just thought I'd make it a little easier for you, being an idiot with no imagination and no musical sense. Any good musician could tell you why Tom Waits and Steve Vai are such good musicians, you just keep listening to your conveyor belt music (I couldn't assume any more of you). Have a good day halfwit.
Steve340 Says:
Jun 30, 2008 - I think the beauty of his music IS how he sings it, there a trillion good singers out there, but to have such a unique act, with a unique voice, and lyrics, thats whats made him as famous as he is........... I mean, Dylan, and Neil Young are far from classic singers, yet their voices add to their uniqueness.
GangreneVagina Says:
Jul 4, 2008 - WinterPowerBottom-And there you are replying with the quickness as usual! Just DYING to have the last gay word just for the sake of it. You're no longer even making any sort of argument or point.I don't use Vai's favorite list to determine what music is good or not. And once again, I said 5 times the music here is good - it's the FUCKED UP Cookie Monster voice that sucks balls. Now why don't you go try fucking yourself? You're boring the shit out of me.
WinterFist Says:
Jul 4, 2008 - I just took a shit and thought of you. You seem to be very homophobic for someone who is bent in every way possible. You are even stupider if you think someone's ability to write and perform a song relies on the sound of their voice! You never had a point in the first place, pricks like you don't even deserve to have an opinion!And uhh, "Now why don't you go try fucking yourself?" - Would you really like me to answer that, or should I just assume your being the same old silly sausage?
britney00 Says:
Jul 6, 2008 - @winterfist holy shit! shut up loser!anyone who uses the non-existant word "stupider" should shut the fuck up.
megadankk Says:
Jul 8, 2008 - lol, he kinda does sound like the cookie monster!!! not a insult, this man has one of the most unique voices in music today, what a great man!
GangreneVagina Says:
Jul 11, 2008 - megadankk-Yes, his voice is unique in the music industry. I'll give you that. And a great man? Very well might be! But I'm sure you're intelligent enough to get the fact that just because his voice is unique doesn't mean everyone will like it. Personally, I don't. But I can appreciate that you do. Unfortunately, there are assholes like WinterFist who pretend to be something they're not and can't get past the fact that people have their own opinions. Nice comment, megadankk.
GangreneVagina Says:
Jun 10, 2008 - WinterFist-Just because I voice my opinion that this guy sounds like Sesame Street's Cookie Monster doesn't mean you have the right to attempt to inform me that I have no "inteligence (sic) whatsoever about music" (right after saying you don't have to insult me). LOL! And then call me a "fucking prick" and "loser".You're a walking contradiction and hypocrit. I will go back to my original instruction for you: shut up, retard.
