[GuitarR0cker1]

example of his skill on a particular instrument?

[xJesusFreakx]

I support this thread.

the fact that he's a classically trained pianist turned noise musician turned ANDREW FUCKING WK.

[theguy77]

the fact that he's a classically trained pianist turned noise musician turned ANDREW FUCKING WK.

im one of those things. "classically trained pianist" tells me nothing about how talented he actually is haha.

[x togepi x]

does the fact that he started learning piano at a college at age 4 tell you anything?

[jtwantsyoudead]

party, party, party, i wanna have a party

[maxvsmaradona]

AWK is no Stevie Wonder, but he's pretty good.

[Smash Adams]

But partying is so important to me, and I could do it all day. It's very hard to resist. I create parties sometimes just as much as I party myself. But it's such a joy for me. It's what I was born to do. It's like drinking chocolate milk or something -- it's not a chore. If someone offers me a frosty, ice-cold chocolate milk, it's going to be satisfying. It was made for me to drink, and I'm going to drink it. That's how it feels when I bring the party.

this is my new motto

You know, if some noob posted about Andrew W.K. I bet a ton of people would go and bash him. But since you posted this no one dares to touch this thread.

Shit no. Andrew W.K is just the man.

Some things transcend common sense and even rationality. Andrew W.K is one of them.

i agree with this statement

[theguy77]

haha the red eye is so fucking dumb. i cannot seriously respect america's republican party, especially not when thats the kind of show from which republican citizens siphon "professional" opinions to pass off as their own.

[GuitarR0cker1]

The Republican Party hasn't been an intelligent organization since Reagan.

[theguy77]

not even then. reaganomics emphasize trickle down theory, a fundamentally fallacious justification for taxing the rich less than any other economic subsection, in which the republican party tries to argue that this policy is better for the economy (which is blatantly false statistically). any keynesian economist (see: economists who actually understand the economy) will tell you how wrong it is.

I don't know. Red Eye's had some pretty bad ass guests on, like Pink Eyes from Fucked Up (who the host practically offered to suck his dick, by the way), and obviously AWK. I can't really knock them if they're being actually legitimate and cool instead of the usual patronizing and ass-kissing that conservatives do to try and lure in the younger crowds.

Also, what's up? I haven't spoken to you in forever.

[ReadyForAction]

I support this thread with every fiber of my being.

haha not much just moved into my new house that my band's drummer and i are renting for the college year (and probably longer than that). we're making so much subpar music right now, it's a lot of fun.

Whoops I meant that since Reagan and movement conservatives(read:the far right) overwhelmingly took over the Republican Party with trickle down economics, extreme social conservatism, subtle racism etc, the party hasn't been intelligent. Of course they really weren't intelligent before the 80's either but their economic policy made much more sense, their foriegn policy was realistic and their social policy was on par with the Democrats(Republicans were actually more liberal than the average Democrat on social issues for ages).

oh boy I hope this doesn't turn into a political argument haha.

[Rawrr]

I just hope that in my lifetime I can achieve the level of radness on which he displays daily. I mean, the dude just want's to fucking party and make people feel good, yeah.

oh okay i agree with you then. hahaha. trickle down theory is fucking retarded, i wish someone in a political debate would get in the face of a republican who namedropped that term and hit them with the facts of how its basically never ever worked. extra points if they conclude it with "be a man and own up to it, john mccain, you just want to protect your 8 houses and 17 cars and couldnt give a fuck less about how to pull this nation out of recession"

Oh yes I'm a borderline Socialist so whenever people talk about lassiez faire economics or how big guvment is evil I want to punch them in the face. Sorry bro, the top 5% of the country quadrupling their wealth, while the bottom 95% has their wealth stagnate is not economic growth, it is economic concentration. Of course some people are retarded enough to think that everyone who makes hundreds of thousands of dollars are smarter, better and stronger than everyone else and they deserve that money.

haha funny you say that about John McCain. Everything he put forth in debate was disastrous to the economy. He even advocated a spending freeze to balance the budget, which is economic suicide.

[HometownHero]

I like him. But the greatest musician ever? No

hahaha it doesnt "trickle down", what happens is the CEOs sleep with more green under their mattress and in their swiss bank accounts while continuing to charge the same amounts for their products and pay out the same wages and they hardly invest more than they already do. two failout plans already proved what they do with extra money when its handed to them. besides, its not like high tax rates even hurt them anyway considering probably 90% of successful business owners circumvent half their taxes by listing their personal expenses in with their company expenses, so the company gets taxed (meaning less money to pay employees) while they themselves get to keep more of their salary. for example: money used on a vacation to europe is put in as money used a business trip to europe. voila, income tax is suddenly transformed into corporate tax.

YES FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE WHO UNDERSTANDS THIS although i shouldnt be that surprised/excited, i mean its pretty much in every single 8th grade american history book that destimulating the economy was the primary catalyst for the great depression itself, and mccain doing so would have created a depression that was WORSE than that one. yeah hes 71 years old and has so much "experience" but i could run the economy better than he could.

Yeah, it isn't like the rich in America were doing terrible in the 1950's or the 1960's, when they were paying almost ridiculous tax rates. Back then we had a booming middle class and a modest amount of wealthy people. Now the divide is huge, when you go into a neighborhood that is filled with the rich and their mcmansions, they are really fucking rich.

BUT DEFICITS R BADDDDD! Really I don't think the average person really understands that the government having a balanced budget has nothing to do with the economy, unless the government is having extreme financial difficulties. For instance Britain has run up budget deficits that equaled almost 200% of their total GDP, which is fucking ridiculous but their economy was not doing so poorly. Right after WWII we had a deficit that was worth 109% of our total GDP and the 1950's was arguably the best economic time in American history.

[AndrewIcex]

He is the man, definitely!

This conversation about the American economy (although off-topic) is fuckin' fascinating. Please continue.

I'm with you. People seem to love him but I just can't get into it.

I think the OP was joking, because he obviously kind of sucks.

I remember turning on Madden 03 and hearing "Party Hard", and immediately turning off every other song in the game. Your QB gets sacked? "Party Hard". Score a touchdown? "Party Hard". Madden makes an intelligent statement? "Party Hard".

I'm a little confused with this statement because if i'm reading this right you are saying that a company gets taxed for business trips? If the individual in question were to say his trip was a business trip, yes he could write that off of his taxes, but why would the company be taxed for this because either way it's a write-off? This tactic is also illegal if no business takes place on the trip and large companies are audited every year to avoid things like this. If the company were to pay for this trip as a bonus they could write it off and lower the taxes for the company.

"PARTY, PARTY, PARTY/I WANT TO HAVE A PARTY"

He does sound like crap though. Regardless, and as you can tell from my avatar, I love this man.

[kearn1tm]

I saw him do a spoken word show with Henry Rollins two summers ago, which lead to picking up his first album. It's ridiculously fun. I love this man.

No you don't! Hit him with music theory jargon! Get 'em, Ryan! Rhetoric! Slam him! Cowboys! Exclamation marks?

[batmannj]

This is the best thread the music forum has seen in some time haha

[Robototron]

Everyone I know hated Andrew WK for like three weeks because he was supposed to play a friend of mine's pool party or something, but backed out at the last minute. Then he opened Santos Party House and we all got over it.

By the way, A.W.K. linked to this thread on his Twitter.
