Critics are a joke!

Well this is our first post and what a way to start it off. This was originally published on our myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/LoNero

This is in no particular reference to any one individual critic but to critics as a whole. I am so sick and tired of these spineless people that sit behind the safety of their computers and critique other people's music/art/movies and bash on them for no other reason then the simple fact that they, at one time in their life persued a career in the arts and fell flat on their worthless ass! So in their diluted mind they see giving bad press as a way to get back at those that are trying to make a career in the arts or those that have.

Before you ask I am not writing this because someone wrote a bad review about me. I am writing this because I get requests from "critics" that want me to send them a cd so they can review it. Fuck you! I have no interest in getting your approval. I don't give a damn what your opinion is about me or my music. What I care about is the opinion of our fans. They are the ones that matter. Not some egotistical piece of shit that places no value on true artistic talent. Not some gutter crawling low-life that takes a kick-back to write a good review. The thought of someone else sitting around making a judgement on someone else's artistic expression based solely on some preconceived opinion that they might have of him or her makes me sick.

What I want to know is why do people look up to critics like they are the be all-end all of opinion. "well this guys say's it's good so it must be" What the fuck? What criteria does this critic possess that people trust his opinion? Do you know his background? Of course not because he has none. Most critics are nothing more then frustrated musicians/actors/artists. And internet critics are even worse. You get these people that start up a blog/online magazine and next thing you know they are "critics". It is so laughable. Why do people need validation from someone else to decide if they like something? If you like it you like it. Period. You don't need someone else to tell you if it's good or not. Make up your own damn mind and stop listening to gutter-crawling trash that call themselves critics!
