Avril Lavinge appreciation thread
 

Only joking :D

her new video is quite odd

It was like one of the most watched videos on youtube today. Go figure.

Will demonrail666 please come down to this thread.

Woohoo!

id father her children, but i wouldnt want to talk to her or listen to her music

Oh, my new sig is just amazing

I find this song stuck in my head far too often :(

Avril is a sellout, she's not punk anymore like she was on Sk8er Boi!

You guys a tag team?

Whoa.

Is there something in the tap water? What is wrong with people?

I don't because I've never heard it, and unless she plays SNL or something, I never will; even then, I'd probably miss it.

That's such a wonderful way to express yourself. You're a sweetheart, aren't ya?

Fuckin' Avril Lavigne. Fuckin' Phil Collins. Fuckin' Chuck Norris.

Haha I loved Avril when I was 14, it was Avril that got be into 'Rock' music, she indirectly responsable for my love of Sonic Youth and my current musical tastes. Avril, Green Day, Busted et al are like Cannibis they lead to hardcore music.

Avril is cute.

Yep. He's the smart, good-looking one, whereas I'm the lazy, shfitless one who wears the mask on account of being such a fugly. It's an odd teaming, but it somehow works.

As for Avril, she's just another marketed pop marionette to me.

cool, cool...

when I saw your Elton avatar, it made me think of upping this sometime possibly...

Hey, why not? That looks very interesting.

I saw the video when I was in the Hardrock Cafe. I think she always throws something at the camera in every video. Or at least breaks a mirror.

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.

I played as avril at a halloween show a couple years ago, i looked somewhat discusting.
I don't mind her singles but the new one is iritating

Avril Lavinge is not a joking matter!

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

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

SO true.

Odd, I dreamt I had sex with Lavigne last night

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!"

Can we trade accounts?

The Poly Styrene of the food court.

It's spelled 'Lavigne'.

'Lavinge' sounds like some nickname for a vagina.

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.

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

(In Arthur Mullard voice) Wot you taklin' abaht, son? That bint from Canada? Gor blimey, I was eating me Findus cod in butter sauce when I read this, an' I was so wahnd up, I nearly dropped me tray!

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.

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.

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.

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