Those “New Kids” on the Block look like a bunch of goof balls on that album cover. They’re not “new” and they’re no longer “kids”. This only goes to show by retaining their no longer relevent band name, that they and the record label they’re on are just trying to cash in on whatever remaining popularity these boneheads have left. And there’s probably a lot of immature, low self-esteemed girls out there who will buy this crap because they feel the phony love songs NKOTB sing on this piece of crap is directed to them. It’s all about the money!!!

Not sure what Keith’s on about there. He’s said plenty of nice things about Bowie’s music over the years. Just after Station To Station’s release, to name one instance, Keith called TVC-15 one of the best rock n roll tunes he’s heard in years.

For Keith to say that about Bowie is amazingly stupid. Bowie’s made some of the finest albums ever heard, so have the Stones, but to say what Keith writes is truly original…well……(Chuck Berry,Muddy Waters etc etc…)

Who’s the fat New Kid?

It’s a pretty well-known story (perhaps an urban legend) that when Bowie would visit the Stones (and other artists) in the studio, and no one would play any songs that they were going to put on an album because Bowie was notorious for stealing chord progressions, riffs and song melodies and anything else that wasn’t nailed down.

If that’s true then that could be why Keith thinks he’s a fake.
And if the story is true it’s also possible that Keith FORGOT why he thinks Bowie’s phony, but he still knows he’s a phony.

I don’t know.

One thing’s for sure…RS will be there covering every minute of the NKOTB reunion. They’ll probably even give them the cover story. RS have you no shame? Pathetic.

Who gives a damn what they’re called?! Are the Beastie Boys “boys”?! And let me tell you what’s “immature”– some loser who’s already whining about the reunion when you haven’t even heard a note of music yet. How reminiscent of the bitter boys of 1990. Yeah, NKOTB are no longer kids, they grew up– TRY IT OUT.

And HELL YEAH RS better cover this reunion– at least they’re legitimately famous. REALLY?! You put THE HILLS on the cover?!
