Andrew WK: Frontman or Fraud?

[Captain_Spanky]

Here's an absolutly hilairious conspiracy theory about Andrew WK and the music industry.
The author is quite clearly bitter, a hack, and nuts. Enjoy.

It doesn't surprise me that his first album features him with a bloody nose. It was probably taken just after someone had to sit through his 'music'. If I'd seen him after watching one his videos he would've ended up bloodied up like the rapist in Robocop becomes.

Andrew WK: Frontman, Fraud or a Fucking wanker more like.

Dear me. Cliched bitter journo much? Seems harsh to take out the fact that his journalism isn't good enough to stand up alone on poor old Andrew WK.

What does surprises me a little is why the guy publishes that article on the internet. It still counts as publicity for AWK, no such thing as bad publicity (ignoring exceptional cases).

I'd never knowingly heard even one song by AWK before reading that. After reading that I felt compelled to find out what kind of stuff AWK has put out. Ok, I found his 'music' to be a total cheap crock of shite but the fact that I sampled it just proves that the article serves only to increase AWK's popularity.

This is one of the most amusing "so funny and so true" things I've read in a while.

Thank you sir.

Yep. Small-time hack of a journalist ranting hypocritically about integrity in the record industry.

Makes me laugh really. The way these guys think the music industry, or any other industry has some kind of moral obligation to provide quality music from artists who abide by some percieved honour code. Ermm... No! The music industry is just that; an industry! They're interested in making profit for their shareholders. If that means they'll take some hooker, or some dumb prettyboy with no talent and airbrush them to success, they're not going to think twice.

Yeh Andrew WK is for modern rock what 50 "Fiddy" Cent is for Rap. He epitomises a culture of profiteering and corrupt media influence within the music industry. But so what? People aren't stupid, they just pretend to be. Some glorified busker jumping and convulsing about on a stage, bellowing at the top of his voice lyrics that would sound more at home in a dance track doesn't fool anyone. Let him have his fifteen minutes of fame, so we can all laugh when he's scrapped by his label for the next idiot to come along.
