for such a self proclaimed punk, he seems to be doing a lot of shit talking over twitter,
which is sad and weak...uhg..its getting harder to like this guy
Score = 2
"uhg..its getting harder to like this guy"
QFT.
With every single he records he jacks up his asshole quota.
Score = 0
[sic] indeed.
Score = 3
he's so edgy.
Score = 1
Twitter is the punkest mode of communication UP THE PUNX
Score = 0
If they're so bad, why did he hire them in the first place? Wonder why they quit, did he go all Buddy Rich on them?
Score = 0
Wasn't one of the band members one of his (only) and best friends from home? That's pretty low to not only a band mate but as a friend to say that on Twitter. Also I'm sure Jay Reatard will never have a wife of his own since he's immature and allegedly abusive so kudos to his ex-bandmates and enjoy your great new lives and wives!
Score = 0
Finally he can move on to stoner rock.
Score = 0
love reatards/lost sounds/ the jay reatard solo thing
but he is one of the biggest jerks in america
i can understand the guys not playing anymore with this asshole

They played a pretty sick show in Baltimore on Saturday, pictures from it here:

Score = 0
It's getting harder and harder to defend this guy. His bandmates are (or were) his friends and nice people; it sucks that he's talking shit about them now.
Score = 0
I heard they all quit on him from a couple of people. makes it even more unfortunate that he is so talented. in an era of boring, Jay stands out and will continue to in my opinion.
Score = 0
Reatard's a faggot. I don’t give a shit about that kid and his music.
Score = 2
"Reatard's a faggot" might be the comment of the year.
Score = 0
doesnt surprise me. he threatened his ex-girlfriend in europe during the lost sounds last tour. that lead to the demise of the LS's. this is just another notch in the way he treats people. just another dick clawing his way to the top of who knows what at this point
Score = 0
What a retard.
Score = 0
jay retard
Score = 0
lost all respect for him after this...

Yeah, I was at that show... Probably the worst I've ever seen on a sound/showmanship level quality wise. One of the bottles he threw hit a friend of mine, too. That was more of a circus than a show... Some people are just super fucking high-school (apparently you don't even have to make it to make it that far in your education to be, though...)
Score = 0
There's a point in one of the other videos of that performance where Jay says "Where's my setlist" and someone in the crowd yells: "Its up your fuckin' nose!". Well, I can't do it, but you know.
Score = 0
thank god there is a band breaking up for once that doesn't lie and say it was on good terms
Score = 0
Jay is an asshole. The bassist Stephen Pope was one of his best friends. I like his music but he sounds like such a brat sometimes.
Score = 0
this dude is such a douche bag. that video of him pissing is lame. i don't understand how he has fans. he is not good punk rock. he is douche rock. fucking retard.
Score = 0
then go listen to girlfriendrock like gg allin instead whining
Score = 0
This guy and U2 have been sharing notes on how to lose friends and alienate people. I suggest a giant claw for his next world tour, and maybe a pair of shades he never takes off. He can talk about AIDS and third world debt a lot and he will completely alienate the rest of his shrinking audience.
Score = 0
Sorry I missed the part where you explained how talking about third world debt was a bad thing?
Yah U2 are real assholes for picking up the plight of more than half the world's population.
Score = 1
Funny you say that because I am an unabashed U2 fan. But apparently charity efforts and big stadium tours are surefire methods to alienate indie hipsters.
Score = 0
I'll join the band!
Score = 0
jay reatard has always sucked. i don't even know how he got as big as he is.
Score = 0
I was having a bad day, but this gave me enough solace to keep going. Thanks Tard, for finally failing at your failure of a music project. Now go join Dancing with the Stars or some other crapreality show.
Score = 1
Is this seriously--SERIOUSLY--what passes for music these days in america?
For once, I'm glad I'm almost 40. I have an excuse to not give a shit...
Score = 0
Don't worry he can always go solo
Andrew M.F. is ... HIGHRISE!
Score = 0
Ha! I kind of wish I was closer up front to hear that stuff... His vocals were too reverbed-out to make sense of anything he was saying.
While they were setting up and Jay was just shootin' daggers at the crowd my friend thought it would be a good idea to lighten his mood by giving him this big, goofy grin. Jay pointed to him and yelled "Stop smiling you pussy bitch!"
He slunk back into the crowd after that...
Score = 0
Good for them.
Score = 0
What an assclown. His music sucks and so does he. I don't see any draw whatsoever.
Score = 0
i'll be in his fuckin band! i play the skin flute. suck it
Score = 0
It seems like this guy is fighting with every indie act, including his own band. I still like his music though.
Score = 0
I've never bother listening to his music, and after seeing that video of him pissing on stage, I have no desire. Yuck.. What a douchebag.
Score = 0
I thought him pissing on stage was way more interesting than his music.
Score = 0
...and the most interesting thing about it was that you can never actually see his penis.
Score = 0
"Dude, Rembember when we reunited, and I pissed on your face? Tha was so punk. That was awesome, we should totally do that again. "
Am i the only one that thinks that is funny, seriously?
Score = 0
who the fuck is jay retard?
Score = 0
PLEASE OH PLEASE CAN SOMEONE (HUGE SAMOAN BOUNCER PREFERABLY) JUST BEAT THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF THIS ASSHOLE ALREADY??????
i have never seen or met a person so deserving of a curb check beat down.
coke fueled meglomania with nothing but crappy garage rock posturing to back it up???
CURB CHECK
Score = 0
I saw him recently in Philadelphia spewing racist crap after the show. The guy is a complete phony and about as "punk" as the Oprah Winfrey Show.
Score = 0
That jerk died earlier today and good riddance. He was always a douche to me.
