Okay, I voted mod. I'm neither really, but thorn encouraged us to choose one or the other if possible, and unlike the nine people who voted "both" or "neither" I'm a good citizen, and I like to abide by the thread-creator's intent.
I'm not a mod, I really am not, but I think my un-rocker-ness is even greater than my un-mod-ness, so I voted mod. But I'm not a mod.
Which begs the question - what the fuck am I? I have no idea.

If you have Lemmy as your avatar, you can't really pick mod. He wouldn't allow it.

here's a possible theme for all you Rockers....
"Rocker" by AC/DC
"I'm a rocker
I'm a roller
I'm a right out of controller
I'm a wheeler
I'm a dealer
I'm a wicked woman stealer
I'm a bruiser
I'm a cruiser
I'm a rockin' rollin' man
Got slicked back hair
Skin tight jeans
Cadillac car
And a teenage dream
I'm a rocker
I'm a roller
A rockin' rollin' man
Got lorex socks
Blue suede shoes
V8 car
And tattoos
I'm a rocker
I'm a roller
A rockin' rollin' man"

Speaking of mods... I thought this was really funny.
Paul Weller gobs on The Police[/size]
The Modfather spits on Sting
Paul Weller spat on a portrait of Sting on Wednesday (March 28) at the Teenage Cancer Trust gig.
As previously reported Weller joined Noel Gallagher at the charity event for a version of The Jam's 'The Butterfly Collector' and The Beatles' 'All You Need Is Love'.
According to The Mirror, during the interval of the event at London's Royal Albert Hall Weller saw a picture of Sting's gig from 2000 and decided to deliver his own style of music criticism.
According to the report, Weller "marched straight up to it [the photo], coughed-up as much phlegm as he could muster and planted it plum in the middle of The Police frontman's head... as he walked away, Weller then snarled: 'Fucking twat!'".
Weller has never shy of expressing his opinions of Sting, recently stating: "He's a fucking horrible man. Not my cup of tea at all. Fucking rubbish. No edge, no attitude, no nothing."

Sounds like jealousy, pure and simple....'WhyTF can't I be the one with the millions?!' These days Rod the Mod pretty much does suck, having gone all Harry Connick on everyone....but WTF, he's old and he's rich (see the above) so he might as well save a little wear and tear but I've been listening to this inCREDible antholgy the past few days... ...and the blanket (especially when unqualified) statement that Stewart sucks is totally W.R.O.N.G. There's 67 tracks here over 4 CD sides and there's maybe a handful that do not flat out blow me away...Ronnie Wood is completely being wasted within the Stones...and Ian McLagen's piano comping throughout these songs is a fucking revelation. I thought only Nicky Hopkins could play rock and roll like that! The Rocker
(- Thin Lizzy)
I am your main man if you're looking for trouble
I'll take no lip 'cause
no ones tougher than me
If I kicked your face
you'd soon be seeing double
Hey little girl, keep your hands off me
'cause I'm a rocker
I love to rock and roll
I get my records from the Rock On stall
Sweet rock and roll
Teddy boy, he's got them all
Down at the juke joint
me and the boys were stompin'
Bippin' an a boppin',
telling a dirty joke or two
In walked this chick and I knew she was up to something
I kissed her right there
out of the blue
I said "Hey baby,
meet me I'm a tough guy"
Got my cycle outside,
wanna try?
She just looked at me
and rolled them big eyes
And said "Ooh I'd do anything for you
'cause you're a rocker"
That's right I'm a rocker
I love to rock and roll
I get my records from the Rock On stall
Sweet rock and roll
Teddy boy, he's got them all
At heart, hell yeah, I'm still a rocker.... But just fucking TRY to take my favorite 'world music' (as it's so broadly labelled, FWIW) away from me. 'Gay' my fucking ass. |

Paul Weller would have been way cooler had he spat into a Rod Stewart picture. It would've made more sense too. Now I finally see the connection/obsession the Gallagher brothers have with him (apart from the eerily similar haircuts). It's the whole "fuck you, I rock better than you" attitude. Fucking wankers, the lot of 'em! I agree the Sting incident is 100% jealousy. No one can convince me that back in the 80s the fucking Style Council had more "attitude" and "edge" than the Police. Sting could probably kick his ass too. |

Sting's a twat. Made even worse by he fact that he used to have attitude and now makes fucking lute albums. Jealousy my ass. /You could offer Weller as many millions you'd like he ain't making a fucking lute album.

I dunno. I'm not crazy about either of them. All I know for sure is the Style Council stank even worse than Sting's vagina music of the past 15 years or so.

Sting's positioned just like Rod Stewart, filthy rich and inevitably aging....you just tend to toss aside that 'angry gene', because life's given you a comfortable spot allowing you to do WeverTF you want to do..
And 'comfort' (plus the little stuff like arthritis or a thoroughly shot liver) generally doesn't breed that 'I gotta stay pissed off for my public!'-attitude.
What for, if your heart truly ain't into RAWKin' till ya friggin' drop?
Wait.
I get it.
Lute = 'gay', don't it?
I mean it HAS to.
;D
