Comments We Couldn't Approve ... But Thought Were Worth Reading Anyway

admin Naturally, we don't approve every comment we receive. There are numerous reasons why a comment would not be approved including profanity, non-English text, and commonly, comments that do not support the item.

These rules have been set up in order to keep the comments clean and consistent, and to keep with the voting methodology of the site (There is no way to vote down an item so there is no reason to disparage a particular item). Granted, the site could have been coded in such a way to provide upward and downward mobility for items in a list, but the decision was made to make the site positive instead of a forum for ranting and negativity.

Unfortunately, this means that some of the most entertaining / compelling / intelligent comments never get approved so to give some of these unapproved comments their 15 minutes, I've pasted some of the comments posted recently that I felt were worth a read.

"since when is singing equal to selling albums?! the world KNOWS that Britney's voice is electronically enhanced in her records! She lip-syncs for ****! You must be a lunatic fan to even consider Britney a singer. Please, her sales won't make her a DIVA. she's just a disposable pop star. look at her life right now... very disposable! she doesn't have a ballad and all her songs are shallow and meaningless!"/span>

"I'd just like to point out that this list is totally void as the people who have voted seem to be spastics. Although the electric-bass guitar has only been around for 60-65 years, the instrument already has a rich history with some amazing players. Cliff Burton's musicianship, dexterity and timing is amazing, and it is a real shame that he passed away so young. However, he does not deserve the title of "best bassist ever". I would have to disagree with the top ten as it is not a true reflection of the talent which the bass community has and has had."/span>
List: Best Bassist Ever - Cliff Burton (Metallica)

"This is terrible. he might hit cluch shots but he has never even made the all-star team. Also he has never been he wasn't even one of the top player on any of the championship teams. It makes it easier if you have Kobe and Shaq or Tim Duncan and David Robinson or a great team."

"give me one good role he was in beside's pirate's. In my opinion, he should not be in the top 10 nor the top 20. He doesn't do any study for characters. For willie wonka, his development for the character was he copied his little girl when they were playing barbie. I could be wrong, but this is the only man on this list who has not recieved a nomination for any of his role's. I'm sorry but I had to let that out"

"Maradona was a cheat. Hand of God my ass. Hand of a coke head! Maradona played in what three world cups? cheated in two and was coked out of his head in the last. How many times did Maradona play in a winning world cup team? he was good but he is also One of the games most overrated player of all time"

"NASCAR sucks. It simply doesn't get worse than NASCAR. you know how it started? Well Jimmy Lee and Bobby Joe were asked by Grandma Betty Sue bob to go to the Piggly Wiggly to get some instant grits. but the piggly wiggly was closed so they drove out from the swamp and into the big city Y'all where them there folks have fancy things like TV's and shoes with laces, anyway they went to Wal-Mart and after buying the Grits, couldn't find their way out from the car park. so they just kept going round and round. Then their cousins from the swamp came looking for them, soon there was all these rednecks going round and round and hey presto! NASCAR was born"

"Actually, I don't think that Roger Waters should ever be mentioned with any of these people as great bassists. He (and Pink Floyd) are my favorites by far, but Roger was not even the best bassist in Pink Floyd (David Gilmour played the bass in Hey You, Money, and many others). Roger's genius was his singing and songwriting, not in his slightly above average bass playing. Hate to be so tough on my fav's, but it's true."
List: Best Bassist Ever - Roger Waters (Pink Floyd)

"THIS GUY HAS TO BE THE MOST OVERRATED DRUMMER HE'S NOT EVEN THAT GREAT, HE'S NOT THE BEST IN HIS GENRE AND HE'S CERTAINTLY NOT TOP THREE SO WHAT IF HE CAN PLAY 300 BPM, PLENTY OF GUYS CAN DO THAT, SPEED MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, SURE IT IMPRESSES SOME, BUT NEXT TO GROOVE, MUSICAL COMLEXITY, AND TECHNICAL DIFFICULTY, IT MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, YES I'VE SEEN HIS SOLOS AND THEIR NOTHING SPECIAL JUST A BUNCH OF QUICK FEET WITH HITTING RANDOM DRUMS, ANOTHER THING HE'S NOT THAT FAST, IF YOU'RE JUST LOOKING FOR A FAST METAL DRUMMER CHECK OUT JASON BITTNER, HE'S ALSO A BILLION TIMES MORE TALENTED THAN JORDISON COULD EVER HOPE TO BE AND DAVE LOMBARDO IS EVEN BETTER THAN THAT, WITH THAT BEING SAID YOU GUYS NEED TO LISTEN TO SOME REAL DRUMMERS"

"Ya know, I am American, but George W. Bush being a representative of our country, let alone the president makes me sick. It's no wonder people hate us. What is going on in Iraq and President Bush makes me sad to be American sometimes. I have served my country, and when I served, it was like a different country. I was proud to do it then... This, the war, and the slaughter and the invasion and the force of "Democracy" on others by violence, is Not what WE stand for. Don't hate Americans, Hate Bush, hate the government... I am an American, and I DON'T stand for what is going on... Why hate me?"

"This is the most disgusting thing i've ever seejn. Anyone who even thinks of My Chemical Romance when talking about this subject needs to hear real punk,like the Bad Brains, Black Flag, Minor Threat, Bad Religion, The Misfits, The Clash, The Stooges, and Fugazi. The last important punk band was Fugazi (Who blow this band away) None of this ****, no Blink-182, no AFI,there all the same. all about the same things, all rich little bastards trying to play punk, listen to any MCR song and then listen to a Black Flag or Bad Brains song and find out what punk is."
