Trashbag Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 http://www.nme.com/news/hard-fi/32991 Hard-Fi have slammed the Led Zeppelin reunion, criticising the band for charging fans so much money for tickets to their December 10 reunion show, and branding them "dinosaurs". Speaking to the Daily Star, Hard-Fi's drummer Steve Kemp went on to suggest that Led Zeppelin's reformation was all about money. "Paying over £100 for a ticket is a joke," he said. "Why should you pay so much money for it? These rock 'n' roll dinosaurs are coming out for one last pay cheque." "I don't know what they are going to do on stage that's so special," he added. I think somebody forgot to tell him this show was for charity.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a band that's trying to make a name on bashing a major act. Too bad the Sex Pistols already did that act 30 years ago in almost the same words. Hard-Fi's attempt at trashing Zeppelin is the real dinosaur here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tea For One Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Most people I know can't remember who Hard-Fi are just minutes after hearing them, how are they going to be remembered in 30 years? Probably not at all, I'd say. Rubbish "band". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Action Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Idiots. The last time anyone referred to Led Zep as "dinosaurs", guess what happened? KNEBWORTH. One of the hardest hitting shows in Zep history. Go ahead, suckers. Get the Zep pumped up again. Make my day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverVishnu Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I guess Hard-Fi didn't bother to find out that the band are making nothing from this show, all the money is going directly to Ahmet's fund. Morons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popeyedrums Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Is that for real? Who the hell is Hard F*uck, Hump-Fi or whatever they are called? Don't you have to have done something or have to be someone to "shit" on something as big as Led Zep? Next, someone will post that Pee Wee Herman told Hulk Hogan that he is not that big. Sheesh. Look, Led Zep is old, but that is one trait that all bands will have in common at some point and not something they can change with rehearsal or practice. This dork is not worth any more of our time. I am sure that if it were not for the ridiculous comment we would never have heard of him. The dinosours that he speaks of only changed the face of rock and roll & only influenced hundreds if not thousands of bands. What is Hard F*ck's contribution to music as of today?...........that's what I thought. Nothing. Pffft! out! Pop I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternal light Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 THis kind of attack annoys me. Who are these guys anyway? Are they any good? They are a band that has taken advantage of the easiest way known to man to attempt to worm their way into another band's spotlight by criticising them. Now you know how they get noticed. Hard-Fi are an English indie rock band formed in Staines, Surrey in 2003. The band's continual members have been Richard Archer (vocals), Kai Stephens (bass guitar), Ross Phillips (guitar) and Steve Kemp (drums). Staines is a suburban location 16 miles (26 km) southwest of Central London that has significantly influenced their musical style and lyrics. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard-Fi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

040879 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Could you all stop being silly and very, very over sensitive? In today's [Friday]Independent ,the singer of Hard-Fi[AAAGGGHHH!!!],Richard Archer says he loves 'Good Times Bad Times'. He's one of 3 or 4 muppets asked to nominate their favourite Zep tune. Hard Fi are a very good Clash tribute band and as such I suspect they are every bit as good as the reactionary 'big rock' nonsense most of the posters on this thread listen to. Leave them alone. What bits of Hard Fi say does not matter. Please PM me if you really disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This figures in that The Clash only made a name for themselves as an anti establishment punk (sort of) band who used to poke fun at established rock bands that paved the way for these low talent, high on attitude fools. Now their 1 or 2 fans are trying to get a piece of the action from The Mighty Zepplin 30 years later as well, all I can say is bring it on punks !!!!!!
