MBA Whore: Excellent band. She also has an amazing voice. Strangely, I don't find her attractive. How the hell do people find her attractive?

/ not gay
// loves Garbage

It's the red hair. Many of us Farkers are a sucker for red heads. She's aged poorly though, dunno what it is but I don't find her all that attractive.

Virtual Pariah: I'm confused.
So It's not OK to hit a woman unless it's Snookie? I seem to remember that guy getting hero status for clocking her.


Or Tila Tequila. The only good feedback the Juggalos ever got from the internet was when they threw rocks and bottles at her and cut her face open.

Apparently violence toward women is just fine if the woman is "annoying"

You start trouble, you get hit. Equal opportunities. Same rules apply, never heard of feminism? "Women can do anything men can do?" Ok, here's a non-sexist punch for you, girl.

In 2005, I was at the Garbage show in Calgary with my (now) wife. Between songs, there were two guys fighting in the front row. So she had them stop, and then went on to play Boys wanna fight. Turns out it was a buddy of mine, he was fighting a guy who pushed his girlfriend. Didn't get kicked out.

//Shirley is so hot. I'd give anything for a night with her. Rrrowar.

Which is more objectionable: a 250 pound guy hitting a 150 pound guy, or a 150 pound guy hitting a 250 pound woman? And why?

I would never hit a woman.

Hitting a woman back, however, is a different story.

Kyro: I Like Bread: Shirley Manson has flounder eyes. There, I said it.

Don't even act like you wouldn't nail her like a railroad track.

Would I invite her in if she showed up at my door naked with a bucket of fried chicken? Yes. Will that ever happen? No. Do I have better and more realistic prospects already? Yes.

silvervial: The one and only concert I've ever been to, there was a fight right next to us, the guy on the other side of my husband.

He kept doing the Nazi salute, which is really tacky. We were ignoring him because we didn't want to feed the troll. Any true fan of the band would know not to do something like that. Anyway, the guy in front of us, a testosterone-fueled troglodite who wanted to impress his girlfriend, turned around and started a fight with Nazi idiot. They started shoving and punching and finally the girlfriend and her mother left the row to get security. They were all thrown out. It was sweet, though I did miss one of my favorite songs during the bruhaha.

That concert was the best time I've ever had in public ... EVER

But enough about the Coldplay show...

Richard Roma: Which is more objectionable: a 250 pound guy hitting a 150 pound guy, or a 150 pound guy hitting a 250 pound woman? And why?


More objectionable? The 250 pound guy hitting the 150 pound guy.
Why?, well....

Fat chicks suck, man. They just do. It's a scientific fact.

Suede head: You start trouble, you get hit. Equal opportunities. Same rules apply, never heard of feminism? "Women can do anything men can do?" Ok, here's a non-sexist punch for you, girl.

The rule should be: if a woman could beat you up, then in a physical fight there should be no rules. If you're big enough to restrain her, there's no need for hitting. And just to make it fair, the same should apply to other guys.

Richard Roma: Which is more objectionable: a 250 pound guy hitting a 150 pound guy, or a 150 pound guy hitting a 250 pound woman? And why?

They're both objectionable. You're not a caveman/woman. Learn to communicate without using your fists you neanderthal.

Kyro: B.L.Z. Bub: And just to make it fair, the same should apply to other guys.

Yeah but sometimes a guy is just in need of an ass kicking.

I don't know. If a bigger guy restrained me like a woman in a fight, I feel that would be just as shaming, if not more, than getting my ass kicked.

I think it's cute how a couple of you douchebags are ragging on:

1) Shirley's looks
2) the band's music
3) the band's status in the industry

Look-

Shirley is hot. It's the red hair, it's the accent, it's the seduction with which she does. EVERYTHING. You're not into it? That's cool. More Shirley for us.

They've sold nearly 20 million albums. Not bad considering they JUST released their fifth album.

Overrated? Biatch please. She's a force- name another band that is all male with a female lead and sells as well as they do. Each one of the members is pretty damn good at what they do- Vig is a percussion perfectionist. And speaking of Vig- look at his production career. He must have one helluva an ear for music- he's produced some albums that have sold ridiculous numbers. His production career is SOLID. What, his production career isn't the same as his time on drums? See my 'ear for music' comment.

Trolling- happens in every political thread, and damn near every music tab.

*every music thread

NewportBarGuy: I will always love that woman. So, so, so hot.

Love her in this video...

never heard of them/her.
Sorry
not my thang.

Nice of her to toss the wanker, but
Never hit a woman?

Not what I teach my students.
Opponents need their asses kicked.

All my students are female.

And they all want to learn how to "sweep a leg"
Sorry, girls. Find another dojo.

You learn how to defend yourself here; not how to hurt someone..

Richard Roma: Which is more objectionable: a 250 pound guy hitting a 150 pound guy, or a 150 pound guy hitting a 250 pound woman? And why?

Because you're supposed to have sex with women, not hit them.
Know how I know you're gay?

/PHEW! All these guys saying it's ok to hit women. It's like Mardi Gras up in here.

perhaps the NJ devils should draft him
/a hockey team

Love her voice, but her look always reminded me a bit of British white trash.

/Version 2.0 is a great album just to listen to from front to back over and over again

Your Average Witty Fark User: name another band that is all male with a female lead and sells as well as they do.

No Doubt?
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts?
Evanescence?

That's just off the top of my head. There aren't that many, though, I agree. I love me some Garbage, too.

Lsherm: That's because she's Scottish. And let's be honest, they're practically the UK's white trash, although the Welsh are the true white trash. The Scots are like Ohio trash, while the Welsh are Alabama trash.

I'm trying to remember if the term "chav" came into existence before, during, or after Garbage's heyday.

Because, come on, you can just tell that if she didn't have a superstar career, she would be wearing a Burberry hat and track suit, drinking Irn Bru mixed with vodka, and driving a low-rider Peugeot 206.

/but seriously, I love her voice

Shirley Manson was, is, and will continue to be a total hottie for some time. Sultry voice.

MBA Whore: Excellent band. She also has an amazing voice. Strangely, I don't find her attractive. How the hell do people find her attractive?

Well, there's the red hair, the Scottish burr, the red hair, the legs, the red hair, the mouth, the red hair ...

Virtual Pariah: So It's not OK to hit a woman ("O") --> unless it's Snookie?



/not snooki, too tall, thin
//"guys, guys..."

Godscrack: .....while singing a song called Stupid Girl

Yeah, Shirley is a goddess, but telling some dude it's not right to hit women while singing *that* song doesn't mesh. I know what the song is about, but this may be a case like 'Every Breath You Take' or 'Born in America'; the repeated verbal hitting has more impact than why the hitting is happening.

limboslam: Richard Roma: Which is more objectionable: a 250 pound guy hitting a 150 pound guy, or a 150 pound guy hitting a 250 pound woman? And why?

that photo has to be shopped. the tires rotation would take the sparks forward and down.

anyways, Shirley was super hot back in the day but I do not think she was attractive in that terminator tv show. The urinal scene was rather awesome though.

Just one more reason why she's awesome.

Richard Roma: Which is more objectionable: a 250 pound guy hitting a 150 pound guy, or a 150 pound guy hitting a 250 pound woman? And why?

You simply don't hit women. Not even fat ones. Sheesh.

You forgot to add Blondie to that list

Garbage was one of the first concerts I worked at when I was a young naive radio intern. I was sent to the stage to get pics, crowd shots a few band pics etc for the website. I was between the stage and the fence gettin pics when I turned around and Shirley was wearin a very tiny "dress". I got a very nice view but I was so mezmorized by her pantyless self I didnt get a pic :( I suck I know

saw them open for smsashing pumpkins on their MCIS tour (1996, hampton coliseum).

dead center front row. shriley standing about 4 feet away and her feet ata bout eye level. miniskirt.

stared at her asscheeks poking out of black lace panties for the entire 45 minute set.

The My Little Pony Killer: Opponents need their asses kicked, but don't hurt them. Great class.

Pure class, actually.

The only good thing about The World is Not Enough.

/would also disappoint her.

RoosterCogburn: Dude, how is this band still touring in concert? Did they make a career on one song somehow span two decades?

Not a big fan of them myself, but it's pretty hard to argue they've made a career out of one song considering they've had (according to wiki) 12 top 30 songs on the modern rock charts -- the most recent was this year -- 5 of them top 10 and 9 of them top 20. They've had two top 10 hits on the pop charts, and neither of them are the songs I'd expect.

One hit wonders they ain't.

One of my guilty pleasures of the late 90s.

My Garbage CSB: At a show in Vancouver Shirely stopped the show and called out some girls name. Doing the "is their a *generic-woman's-name* here?" thing. Everyone starts looking around and you here a small little yell. Shirely hold up the girls driver's licence and says security had found it on the ground and calls the girl up to the stage to get her ID back. Of course being Shirely she teased the girl about it while waiting for her to get through the crowd.

I have been to a lot of shows but that was definitely a first. Also a great show, tons of energy and like others have said I spent half the show trying to look up Shirely's rather short skirt.

One of my guilty pleasures of the late 90s.

G 2.0 I had used to replace all the game music from the first Vampire The Masquerade PC game, it was oddly fitting.(As is Massive Attack to eve online)
Another guilt/odd 90's grab:Pure Moods, listening to that at the moment because this thread prompted me to dig up or download some of the more odd music of the day.(My friends then were the 90's version of a hipster in combination with new age/wiccans or other nutcases, so I can't be blamed for odd nostalgia music..I'm more or less normal...for a Farker.)

Any other odd suggestions?

vudukungfu: And they all want to learn how to "sweep a leg"

Do you have a problem with that?

You learn how to defend yourself here; not how to hurt someone..
