Tom2112 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 13 hours ago, evilfacelessturtle said: It is? Even if it's true? That doesn't make sense. Is he supposed to lie to protect Duff's feelings? Okay, but even one person in the room knew him, that doesn't mean they named it after him or that the guy who came up with it was the one in the room who knew who Duff was. It doesn't mean they used his gimmick, but it does point out that in that time people were aware of who was in one of the biggest bands in the world, they had televisions and read magazines and might have thought "oh that's a good idea". Proof? No, big coincidence? Hell yeah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Duff's attitude about it. seems to me like the Simpsons guy was very upset and butthurt over this nonsense. "chill" lol some good advice there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfTheWave Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 If Duff is the one making the false claims (albeit unknowingly) it would make sense that the man on the receiving end would be more upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more about an ego thing maybe unless butthurt guy doesn't know that Duff doesn't seek to be compensated for the Duff beer name in the Simpsons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew is not Duff intention, but maybe Simpson writer not has confidence. He seem obssesive to contradict to Duff. And Duff behave like an gentleman. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made a cartoon full of cultural references for exactly the same audience. I find it very hard to believe they didn't know the guy, even if they didn't name the beer after Duff. Can you name the bass player for The Black Keys without looking it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you can see the difference. GNR was everywhere in those days and we didn't have as much distraction as there is nowadays. Put on MTV? GNR. Buy a magazine? GNR. And we didn't have the internet offering a gazillion other artists from all over the world for us to explore. But it's okay, you have your opinion of what's more believable, I have mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of GNR being in a magazine, Slash is featured in RIP magazine in the Paradise City music video! 😀🤭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you like rock and roll, which is what the Black Keys play. How about the bass player for U2? Huge band when you were younger. Duff wasn't on the cover of those magazines, though. The music videos on MTV don't have his name floating above his head. Just because you've seen a video or magazine cover doesn't mean you know (and commit to memory) the names of every band member. I saw the Black Eyed Peas on MTV a lot back in the early 2000s and I couldn't for the life of me tell you who was in that band besides Fergie.

Huge band when you were younger. Easy! Adam Clayton I had quite a few Duff only posters from magazines up in my teenage bedroom. GNR also had the LIES T-shirts with each individual member that must have been late 80s. I know a friend had the Steven Adler shirt. Back in the day I could name everyone in those hugely popular bands back then. They were the ones in newspapers and the news then, almost comparable to Taylor Swift now. It's not comparable to Black Keys imo. I know my teenage daughter wouldn't know any of that. Plus it's the Simpsons, I can't get past that point. It's not Tom &Jerry, who have no cultural references. I simply don't believe that not one of the people involved in The Simpsons knew or even recognized the 'name' Duff, even if it's not named after him. It must have rung a bell at the very least to someone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karice Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 About Duff, a LOT of Fans consider Duff to be one of the weakest Original Guns N'Roses Members along with Steven. They consider Izzy between Axl, Slash, and Duff/Steven. So Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff/Steven or vice versa between Duff and Steven. Even in the current lineup, a lot of Fans say they consider Duff WAY less important than Axl and Slash. Fans have said stuff like,"I wanted Izzy 1000 times back more in the current lineup than I wanted Duff." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's as big as it gets, but that means nothing if you don't care about her music. And doing a show with cultural references doesn't make you a cultural savant. I'm sure you could find plenty examples of their cultural references getting details wrong because it's not about doing research, it's about making jokes.

About Tom And Jerry, they are classics that are STILL being enjoyed to this day and were first released 84 years ago and came into prominence around 63 years ago. Time will tell if Taylor Swift will still be remembered 84/63 years later. 💡🤔 Edited June 27 by Karice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
