    Yeah, thats why they were world famous and had people literally swarming them everywhere they went: because only 25% of their songs were good.

    Yeah.

      In fairness to the guy, IMO a lot of their lesser known stuff is lesser known for a reason. Its filler, its not bad its just not very good. And compared to their best work, its a turd in a punchbowl.

      But to compare yourself to “The Beatles” of your industry is very close to the height of arrogance. I mean, I loved the Borderlands games, Gearbox might be selling out shows but they arent filling arenas.

        This guy is literally the gaming industry equivalent of Yoko Ono. Some groups/companies are worse, but they’re less known because they often don’t speak so much. This guy just can’t shut up.

          IDK, seems rude to compare her to this absolute fuckwit. Yoko gets a bad rap because Beatles fans were racist jealous and accused her of some insane shit. Everyone knows some of her music, but she was an insanely influential performance and installation artist even before getting with John, and that’s not to mention her peace advocacy. Admittedly though her music, while influential artistically and based on traditional tonal performance styles, really really sucks.

          Meanwhile though, Pitchford is exactly as annoying to listen to but has -zero- redeeming qualities. Seriously, fuck this guy.
