Avril Lavinge appreciation thread - Page 2

luxinterior · 04.06.2007, 11:32 AM

My best friend was really into Avril when she first came out. We used to drive around on Friday nights listening to that one album of hers (this came a year later though, as neither of us could drive Freshman year). I haven't heard it in a while, but I'll bet I still know all the songs. Avril must have been on tour that year, and I'm guessing she made a stop in St. Louis. My friend got tickets and invited me along. I would've went, but I think I was busy that day, I can't really remember. Anyway, she bought this Avril wristband at the concert (brought back a sticker for me, I think), and started wearing it to school. Then this girl, who was a grade ahead of us and who probably thought of herself as having excellent taste in music, made some comment about the wristband and how she hated Avril or something of the sort. I felt bad for my friend, I mean I could tell she was embarrassed because this happened in front of a bunch of other people, so I tried telling her not to pay any attention to that girl because she was one of those people who had the hots for old dead rock stars like Jim Morrison & Co. And I think I said something like, "If you stop wearing your wristband just because Maddy doesn't like Avril, I am never speaking to you again."

And that is my Avril story.

Don't know what to make out of this comment.

Trasher02 · 04.06.2007, 02:07 PM

Her latest song is over the top.
The lyrics... just plain madness.

SO true.

Odd, I dreamt I had sex with Lavigne last night

Trasher02 · 04.06.2007, 02:29 PM

In her latest video she pretends to be a bad-ass chick and bugs the hell out off that "geeky" girl because she was like totally whatever.

Pot, meet kettle.

^^^Like the pot/kettle comment. Hee hee hee. "Hey Pot, meet Kettle. What, both your surnames are Black? Why, what a co-incidence!"

The Poly Styrene of the food court.

Danny Himself · 04.07.2007, 10:00 AM

It's spelled 'Lavigne'.

'Lavinge' sounds like some nickname for a vagina.

Glice · 04.07.2007, 10:11 AM

My life. Have you heard the vocal production on the second album? Outside of Bjork there's no-one with that much vocals everywhere, like some kind of omnipresent siren.

I loves Avril I do.

Everyneurotic · 04.07.2007, 01:58 PM

Glice: heard the whole album yet? i haven't

I know you don't like Cat Power, but in 'You Are Free' she's EVERYWHERE. The idea of 5 different Chans conjures up many a sexual fantasy.

Everyneurotic · 04.07.2007, 06:08 PM

why should an artist -scratch that, i'm not going there- a singer be important?

avril lavigne or anyone for that matter has never claimed she is pushing new ground or carving a new genre or even making generation-defining music; she sings songs and she's good at it, sure her whole image is fucked but so what, there's plenty more music with a horrible image that's not chugged out by big record labels.

there's plenty of awful music that gets sold by (falsely most of the time) terming it "important" or "influential" and there's a lot of those that are favorites among here in the board.

U2, in particular.

Everyneurotic · 04.07.2007, 06:24 PM

u2 are not board favorites, but yeah, most critics justify their shitty music by saying how culturally relevant it is...which in reality is not even that much.

ZEROpumpkins · 04.07.2007, 07:35 PM

I don't really have anything against U2. But Joshua Tree was heavily overrated.
