Why I dislike the parlatones (said in a nice tone)

In previous threads we have discussed a number of opinions on the parlatones and other SA bands. I realised I never really voiced why I so dreadfully disliked Parlationes and further why they conjured a sense of spit to my mouth (hypothetically of course). So Parlatones to start are a pop rock band, which I find have COMPLETLY ripped off a band in the 80s called "JAMES" Have a look for yourself, or a listen for that matter. Further more past this point I find there music simply a few pop rock songs with the same hooks and tricks througout all 3 or 4 albums they have put out. Just have a look at there album titles which carry with them all the same feel. RADIO CONTROLED ROBOT, A WORLD NEXT TO YOURS, STARDUST GALAXIES. you tell me if you sense the same incanation amngst all these titles. All in all musically there has been no development or progression in sound, whereby in other pop rock bands such as the BEATLES you find they progressed a huge amount from album to album, which earned them respect as musicians despite the simplicity of there music. Consider there image, perhaps someone can see the resemblance between both there make up and a film from the 1970s called "a clockwork orange" (a good film at that). Now consider there vast succes, yes they have a lap top endorsement, they have a wine range, they have cellphone sponsership, THEY EAVEN have a bloody KFC meal named after them!!! But does that show succes as a musician???? Does Paris hiltones small aid work earn her the noteriety as a Aid worker????? NO She is known for what she does best, and thats be a ditsy blonde bimbo. NOw parlotones on a scale of business can be called succesful, because they are, they are what we know as one big endorsing GIANT, but musically they are not all there, and somehow people think that all this endorsed backing earns them a title as succesful musicians. However my opinion is that the more money you get behind you while making music actually makes you more reliant on a higher class of lifestyle and thus has an eefect on ones willingness to take chances and develop ones muic. In short one will be to scared to take chances to possible create new, better music. THEREFORE MUSICALLY I find the Parlatones bad musicians however very good at business thus we can all say "wow, when I own a business I will lokk up to the Parlatones" Musically they are not original, intersting, they are just another po rock band, capatalising on the image of music. The cool thing is not everyone will agreee with this and therefore you will provide them with there bread and butter. This is just my explanation as to why I dislike them so much. Please note this was all said in the nicest of vocal tones to please some of you who find you are offended at the way computers get angry.

MIKA the better one wrote I dont think in that genre there is much room to sell out, especially in this country. The whole metal scene is fairly small and inbread...
The only exception being alchol, and I do remember once long ago doing a show with chromium (in an old band) whereby we competed to win a alchol (jagemietser) sponsership.... They won ?
I think for what they have done they have a big SA following, anyone who likes that style generally likes them

And we thought you are not into that kinda thing ! ☹
Now be honest Mika...would you have accepted a KFC sponsorship ?

Sorry to rehash this...

I was about 4 years ago, and very very very stupid.... Really I hope to hell I wouldnt except it...... I probably never have to worry about it though as the music I make doesnt really owe itself to sponserships, especially bad ones, like KFC, gigabyte, and germany

If I wanted to make that sort of music it would be a whole lot easier than trying to do things the way i do now, really would, I wouldnt have to fight "indie boooking agents" for shows, I wouldnt have to put up with constant crap from venues saying we were very loud and we should try 3 or 4 covers in the setlist to appease people. I wouldnt have to constantly worry about making a song pleasing to certain crowds.......

It would be easier to just write some crap songs, where I fake my american accent more, and sing about rubbish. Then I would get in all the festivals, and big shows, and I would have thousnads of brainless yet big boobed girls clamvering all over me after shows.... SOunds great

Entertaining video. But still a hint of the petulance at the nasty press not restricting themselves to being nice.

And was the product placement meant to be ironic? :?

I'll quit my job and carry your Multi-FX and Ibanez around just for that. ?

What no one's asking is why Mika seems to reckon that women with big boobs are brainless. Does too much thinking reduce breast development? I'm not up on the science of this.

Although I'm secretly intrigued to know what it is to be "clamvered" over. ?

MIKA-the-better-one

clamvered is a special word made for the occasion.

I really wish there were some big brained small boobed ..... no wait bog boobed small brained girls at my shows. But as long as I use this multi FX and a ibanez it aint happening

They'd be brainless because they'd like his brainless music, BUT they'd all be well endowed.

Don't worry, that's why you were blessed with a fully functional, highly active imagination.
