yeah, i never respected his work. all he did was blow up comics and get rid of the moiré patterns. he must have been a helluva socialite and networker, which is like 90% of being a massively successful artist.

Lots of talented guys that never make it.

I remember reading that BOB struggled to convince Ed to record Betterman. BOB wanted it on Vs. But after he told Ed it would be a huge hit, Ed refused to include it.

PJ’s instagram story feed giving a tease, as it sounds like that ambient noise is the start of the album until the bass and drums kick in. Definitely not the Simmons clip.

Instagram is by far the most annoying social media platform.

It's literally a slightly different version of the clip we all heard during the PokemonGo! search last week, followed by a single loose, directionless bass guitar note and a two-count on a hi-hat. Just suggests that the opening track is that ambient noise we've heard, followed by a loose and lively rocker.
I have no idea what this means
