Robbie


Only because he has a tattoo that reads 'Born To Be Mild'; that surely deserves a prize for self depreciation, do I give him the time of day. For his new album out in November, he seems to be playing the McQueen card, and even if it is just a rented styling prop, our Robbie somehow seems to just get away with it, when other celebs can't???

    i detest that guy and now i hate him just a little more. it's the kind of turgid attempts at music that he churns out that this world can do without. i know millions disagree with me but i know i'm right on this one

    Malaki, it definitely isn't the same bike as the Pussycat Dolls Triumph.
    It's the same one that Bruce Willis pretended to ride on the cover of Vanity Fair.
    Clever Motochimp made the connection. GI

    Handbags it is :) Y'see what gets me about this kind of stuff is it is all about 'image'. There is no substance - no real attitude.

    Part of what I love about flat track and all the go fast turn left racing is the blood sweat and tears attitude of the whole thing. Yes, the bikes do look awesome, but there is that fundamental shit or bust attitude that goes with it all - including with the good street tracker stuff.

    It is the same with this guy's music - it all appears to be a marketing for cash exercise. It isn't really trying to do or say anything. And yes it is a great looking bike, but he might as well be selling strides as music in the picture.

    Just my opinion of course - I'm not so great, but come on - McQueen actually did it. Mr Williams does er, what is it he does again?

    But born to be mild did make me smile ...
