Arild Rønsen – former longstanding editor of music newspaper Puls – therefore wrote a review of four weeks old “Zipper Down” on his blog, where he begins to write “World-famous overnight. But they have something to offer, musically? “.
Key people in Norwegian music journalism environment and music industry at large reacted instantaneously on timing and got it to boil on Facebook Tuesday night.
“Sometimes it feels the collective mockery of Arild Rønsen almost in excess merciless. But then he manages to publish things like this. Maybe it’s time to put the keyboard on the shelf for good now, your giant asshole? “ writing NRK music critic Marius Asp.
” Music Journalistic stink “, thinks former editor of Night & amp; Day and critic for Dagens Næringsliv, Audun Vinger.
“This is the worst-timed” emperor has no clothes “-søpla I’ve seen in my life” , Turbonegro -bassist Thomas Seltzer.
“Now he feels to denigrate the musical content to EODM, under a week after Paris-terror. Probably to rough it, or something we others are not able to understand the completely incomprehensible Rønsen universe. For a jerk “, reports Egon Holstad, music journalist in iTromsø.
” All the small non-article where it just stands lot of nothing is a pathetic shadow of something that could have been musikkjournalisme but strictly speaking only an embarrassed little fis “, slams it from editor Espen Nørvåg Slapgård in hard rock magazine Metal Hammer.
” Arild Rønsen, man not quite take connotations on Puls’en “, comes the laconic from Dagbladet Sven Ove Bakke, with link to Ronse former editor job.
” Help me. But then I realize at least why he is marginalized to the blogger “, Kaizers Orchestra guitarist Geir Zahl, as one of the answers under Bakke’s Facebook posts where it is linked to Arild Ronse review.
SEE MORE REACTIONS AT THE END OF THE MATTER!
Faced VG says Arild Rønsen that review on his part is an “attempt to conduct public education.”
– I had only peripheral knowledge of who the Eagles Of Death Metal was and what I thought was the case with many of my readers as well. I think people are very delicate as reacts to this, says Rønsen VG.
– Do you understand that some may perceive this as unmusical?
– No. , I do not. It must be possible to write about an American band which thankfully has come to safety in the United States after the tragedy happened. It is a simple and straightforward, streit plate review which is all about the music, and I think that Josh Homme (the group’s most prominent member, known from Kyuss and Queens Of The Stone Age, editor.) Can live with that a plate reviewer from small Norway did not like the album of his, says Rønsen, adding:
– He has unfortunately also other things to think about during the day.
It is not the first time Arild Rønsen get public jaw of colleagues. Three years ago, during the trial against Anders Behring Breivik, tweeted him a request to bomb VG premises visavis government building after a dice one reviewer of Neil Young’s latest album.
VG music critic Thomas Talseth Nor is this hallway visibly impressed Arild Ronse effort to drive public education.
– There is so far a fairly common music journalistic exercise: One reviewer a month old plate originally skipped, because the band is reenacted. So far so good, says Talseth, and continues;
– But it’s sensationally unmusical, it Rønsen doing here. There are hardly any precedents for what the Eagles Of Death Metal were exposed to in Paris. Their fans were slaughtered before their eyes, on what was to be a party tonight.
Talseth believes that the band possibly – and if so rightly – is “rock history’s most traumatized band.”
– At Rønsen then find it opportune to point out that the band musically only medium well so Usti and severely that one is completely matt. I would rather not call any “idiot”, but this is definitely idiocy.
Among the strong reactions came Tuesday night, there were other people in the industry who volunteered .
“Håll käft skit gubbe !!” was the clear message from Ida Lyxzén who work in management, amongst others Susanne Sundfør and Röyksopp.
“Why, Rønsen?” writing Runar Eggesvik, central to Oslo’s nightlife and founder of several smaller venues in the capital, including Mono.
“You have to fuck me ashamed of yourself! !! Your taste who report counts as much as the bread for a poor street kid in a normal workday. The fact that you use this to highlight yourself as the most useless reviewer who you are, is the most provocative I have read. Idiot !!! “ breeds Behzad Farazollahi, former drummer in My Midnight Creeps.
” Sad. Just sad “, Svein Bjorge, festival founder of including Steinkjer Festival and Tons Of Rock, while Dagsavisen Traveller Bernt Erik Pedersen is sour corner.
” Recalling also that this man is real social commentator in the class struggle. “
Also on Twitter shotguns fyord:
Arild Rønsen posted a new post on his blog on Wednesday morning in response to all the crass reactions. Where he defends review, while he points out that he himself took the initiative still arranging the now canceled concert with Eagles Of Death Metal just over a week.
– It had been a nice demonstration of musicians and arrangers that we do not let us crush of terror, but I let the idea lie when I realized how much this would cost, both economic and safety, says Arild Rønsen VG.
