I sense the mood in his forum has suddenly taken a turn for the worst... and I only been away from 3 or 4 hours. :lol:
Some of you thought that opinions in this place were negative enough already. Well, if TUAO rubs people up the wrong way in the same way that this stupid introduction of bad rappers like Fatman Scoop has then there really isn't much hope for Scooter.
I haven't heard this new Fatman Scoop version yet but, going off people's comments and off Fatman's previous work it can only rub salt into my open wounds. For that reason i'm not overly keen to hear it. Well, I hated the Dome version anyway, so if this is worse then I only imagine the pain it will cause me. The concept of including a rap and sound effects like gun clicks is bad enough... but Fatman Scoop? What the f*ck are they thinking? Have they lost all sense of reality? Surely this can't be that great band that brought us Faster Harder Scooter, Call Me Manana and awesome instrumentals like Rhapsody In E? This is a joke, right?
At times I've wondered whether I'd just grown out of Scooter. Whether it was just a change in my tastes that has separated us.
But no... BTC and Fatman Scoop proves to me why the current Scooter will never be able to "push my buttons" like the pre-2004 Scooter did. BTC is an unoriginal, overly commercial, chart success driven mess that has about as much spirit as an empty bottle of Jack Daniels.
I've said all along that Scooter aren't changing. Well, I'm starting to wonder whether I was totally wrong about that. Maybe they are changing... very slowly... into some kind of hip-hop/house pop group that are hell bent are raping every penny of out chart CD buyers that they can possibly muster. You only have to look at PTW and The Leading Horse... H.P. thinks he's f*ckin' 50 Cent or something.
I sense the end... i really do. All good things come to an end I suppose. I'd just hoped it wasn't going to be like this. I hoped Scooter would leave this business with some dignity. Scooter, you should be ashamed! Really! The nails are being hammered into your coffin as we speak... and it's not a priest reading you the last rites ... it's a f*ckin' clown.
