KK & BBQ are done? FUCK

Or BBQ could go solo, and write killer songs, (there could be a battle for band supremacy). Khan will go to sth America and start a colony of twin rock gospel kids

Hey Mark, I saw you guys on Halloween in Chicago in 2008, it kicked ass.

Well, Jonny, we aren’t trying to reach people who find bands on these sites, but I am glad you think we need you to have a ‘fanbase’. I also am glad you think we didn’t have many ‘fans’ outside of those who read ‘the head’. Thing is we have been doing fine without Jonny-come-latelys (forgive the pun) since we started in 2003 or 2004. I appreciate YOUR enthusiasm. And snarkiness.

You’re right about a lot of things Mark. But it doesn’t change the fact that, athough mabe misguided, Travis is helping you out man. Doesn’t matter if you think you need it. Same team man, same team.

“Oh and if you wanna deal with this like adults, instead of posting in the comments… USE EMAIL.” Okay, so when you heard the rumour that they’d split up why didn’t YOU use email to have Mark or Khan either confirm or refute it? Why not just apologise for the mistake YOU made instead of turning a misunderstanding into a feud?

“I don’t have every email of every band I write about.” No, but it’s not difficult to find contacts for people and it’s not difficult to get hold of Mark or Khan. You’re being a dick.

king khan and bbq don’t need the fuckin internets!! they will be happy to go back to playing in their mom’s backyard.

priceless. if it wasn’t for the internet, these dudes would be selling me shoes at fucking payless. i mean, it’s an awesome little richard impression and all, but seriously you ain’t the pope, homey.

First heard of the band thanks to me goin’ to shows in Memphis and Nawlins all the time. They don’t need internets. They need people in the seats. You think these jokers make money off of this shit? Get real. Money is made touring now, younggunz. Keep it real, Mark.

Travis, you could just erase the shit and move on. Putting a line through it kinda gay2k10, but hey, what do i know? In MS we don’t even have this “net” thing.

well i guess now is not the best time to return to pages of buddyhead with a review of a les sexareeno’s record. but o well, i’m gonna do it anyway.

kirk,
those were khan’s words re detroit cobras.
mark
maybe we do work at payless. you don’t think we get rich from this shit, do you? we busted our asses for years doing this shit. now we can live. hate on me all you want. i’ll still be making music or listened to after you’ve moved on to something else. i’ll play parent’s backyards, even. cuz i play music for the love of it. just like i did since there was no buddyhead.
travis. yes. let’s be friends. come say hi next time i’m in LA. talk your shit then.

and i like that Mr. Sultan keeps using the term ’scene’, and the rest of us refer to it as ‘music’.

I acknowledge that we are ‘bigger’ now than we would have been without the internet and things like buddyhead. and for that i AM thankful, to an extent. yes. it means NOT being homeless, etc… my point is more that i play music and will play it even when you all move on to something else and we or play tiny venues or ditches. so YOU guys might wanna chill.
i do listen to slayer. but i prefer ‘black witchery’.

Sucks he’s not coming to FL again. I missed him the last time and I heard the show was great.

“Dude who Bangs Mark Sultan’s Mom” is such a pussy. You most likely live in an alley. So Mark should just drop by your crib where you and your mom share a bunk bed. I bet your band that you play on Guitar Hero is waaay better than Mark’s band. Have fun at the Dollar or Less Store tonight, maybe your mom will drop by to bring your favorite sandwich, PB&J with the crusts removed. Loser.

Hey Mork Sultan dude, it’s time to get back to your tech support job.

dios played coachella like three years ago, right after Ronald James staked his claim to God’s name. And that was during travis’ “bender”, wasn’t it?

i would liked the band just fine even if they broke up and hated each other. I like the band less when one of the dudes freaks out like he was axl and you were the paparazzi or some shit. kinda liked your band, but nobody really cares that much about this shit. band members should not be allowed to be douches on the internet, it fucks shit up.

I saw King Khan and the BBQ show at Northside Tavern in Cincinnati and thought they kinda sucked especially compared to their opening act Those Darlins. The chicks in Those Darlins are fucking awesome. Give them chicks some love Buddthead.

yeah man, that’s a bummer. this guy sounds like a self important pee pee kisser. It’s only rock n’ roll. no one is curing cancer here.

I think it would be prudent to just delete all this BS…

Man the new KK&BBQ video, for the track off Invisible Girl, blew my mind… because I somehow always thought it was at least a three piece, but it’s just the two of them.

Anyways, I’d say both of you handled this poorly, but it was kind of the equivalent of someone bumping into your beer, then pushing them and escalating things. Now at that point that person who elbowed the other dude’s beer and got pushed for it has a choice: stir the fire further with this guy or just blow it off. I guess for talking shit on the internet you don’t go to jail like you do for physical assault (or the hospital), so maybe there’s less reason to blow it off, but I’m a fan of keeping the peace. Unless I’m hammered.

In any case, Mark Sultan is the Sultan, and I’m a fan of the music.

It may be that Coachella is full of “douche bags and hipsters” but if some of them get turned on to real rock and roll, properly, really dig it and not just because they think it’s “hip” or whatever, then that ain’t a bad thing. After the White Stripes went over big, loads of hipster kids started going to see them, but some of them were started on a journey, digging out the original sixties garage sounds, learning, educating themselves, getting into this stuff for real. I’m sure some of you want this stuff to stay small, your own exclusive, cool club. But that would make you as much a douche bag and hipster as they are.

how dare you bring up the white stripes…..i could give a fuck…..with their fucking 300 dollar documentary package……that’s fucking prudent isn’t it? now they’re pandering right to those douche bag music elitists themselves…..and that shitty ass band the dead weather……jack white looking like johnny depp from alice in wonderland (which in and of itself looks like a drag queen mad hatter)……that’s one of those bands that’s cool to like rather than liking because they’re cool……the music’s aweful but most people wont admit….

as for coachella….yeah it’s cool sometimes and sporadically throughout the day….but who gives a shit. Spending one hot ass day outdoors isn’t gonna change anybody’s music taste that much……You’d probably have a good idea of what you like beforehand anyways dick so don’t make it out to be such a huge thing. as for small clubs……what does that matter….rock’n'roll is one of those things that’ll stay under the radar for years and years no matter who’s listening…..some people will do it better than others and it’s cool to see them mature and make better records….look at jay reatard’s career arc from the reatards to his solo shit…..there was a huge transformation there…..I’m not against that….but when you talk about bands like the white stripes opening up people’s minds or whatever…..good for them…I hope that works out for them paying so much money to keep them cool….

King Khan is definitely the real deal – so it doesn’t matter that some petty feud erupted here. Coachella is fine if you can enjoy your music in a festival setting.

I think it is kind of cool or unique that Buddyhead has hyped King Khan to the extent they have considering they were signed by rival hipster brand “Vice” – or is that a clueless way to put it? Whatever – while we may NOT be able to all get along – I for one will continue to peruse Bhead and attend KK gigs when they are at clubs – that does suck how Gvoice insists on the bands not playing other dates – a really really cool underground band would JUST DO SO ANYWAYS! LIKE By PlayING a Party – IN FACT KING KHAN did do that not too long ago when they did a wedding party during an LA jaunt.

I came across this piece randomly, I don’t read Buddyhead, the content is catered towards fucking geeks and people who think they’re clever (seriously, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit).

But Travis, you’re a cunt, man. You are STILL talking shit, “He _kinda_ said sorry.” Quit throwing your toys out of your crib. I know you think you’re so cool and 80% of the geeks that read your site will suck your dick and back you up, but c’mon, get off your high horse.

I hope everyone realizes that Mark Sultan and King Khan are honest, legitimate and passionate musicians who bust their asses putting out records. Now, compare that to some dork who writes for an e-zine.

As a journalist, I wouldn’t be trying to do what Travis is doing, “Hey man, fuck you too!” I’d correct my fucking error, apologize and I wouldn’t allow every fucking geek that reads my site to try and slander a musician like Mark Sultan even more.

Your error shows your lack of professionalism, your inability to promptly correct it and apologize shows how petty you are, the general consensus amongst your readers and loyal geek followers shows the mentality represented on the site, and Mark Sultan had every right to bitch about some stupid rumor that some jackass who thinks he’s clever put on his fucking e-zine.

Suck a dick you fags. You don’t know shit about music and you’ve never done anything for any music scene. Oh, other than congratulate yourself.

Ryan?
Ryan Schreiber??
Well, if it is you I just wanna ask….
How come you pusses don’t let us geeks comment on your website?
Buddyhead would be a much quieter place……

@ Ryan – you got it right, man. apart from calling people “fags”. That ain’t cool. A lot of fags I know could beat you fuckers with one hand tied behind their backs.

How can anyone be so foolish as to say that they broke up when their own website made it clear that they were going to tour. Considering that they’ve been together in bands during 12 of the last 15 years I think the standard of proof needed to claim that there are irreconcilable differences that will rupture the band would have to be very high. As it is, simple fact checking would have extinguished any such ridiculous notion.

I know some of you people will think that these people need to be told that they will never amount to anything and that this long time in this racket proves that they won’t amount to anything but I don’t think they really care what anyone thinks about their chances of achieving greater things in the music racket.
