coldplayingHQ is @alanjmcgee fighting with a fake Brian Eno? FAIL! http://tinyurl.com/aerq4h

:P

oh. :lol:

 

my point was that i get some kind of weird kick of using britishy words in america in general :wacko:. i'm going to have to cut that out before moving there so i don't come off as pretentious :P

 

and wait, the twitters are fake? :thinking:

 

I LOVE using British words in America! Makes things more interesting, and helps me understand things more when me and the missus venture over in a couple weeks (HOLY SHIT! I just realized how close that is!!!!!)

Met brian eno. What legend. He told me he's not on twitter though which means @brianeno is an imposter!

As brian_eno started before Feb 12th, sounds like that one's an imposter too. So Alan McGee is fighting with a fake...

:P

 

ahhh! i turned off the coldplaying tweets to my phone on the night of the warchild gig because i was getting tweets literally every few minutes from both ian and coldplay, and it filled up my inbox to the point where i couldn't recieve any more :P. i guess i forgot to turn them back on...

 

i swear, coldplay is the only reason i'm on twitter, and the fact that i'm on twitter at all is a huge secret in real life :lol:

 

i'm laughing in the face of alan mcgee. i hope this is karma for the original "bedwetter's music" comment, or something like it :sneaky:.

:uhoh:

 

Why is everyone fighting over Coldplay? They are like the nicest band in the world!

 

Yay exactly ! I've always seen Chris as being polite and nice about other groups, I guess perfection maybe annoying for some reasons (not every one can reach it obviously, I'm talking about you Gallaghers !!)

HAAAAAAHAHHAHA! ah, just the good laugh i needed. i hope someone tells alan. maybe he'll put his foot in his mouth. :lipsrsealed2:

I don't think there's a way to know it's really him, but even if they're both fake this is just too funny to let it pass :lol:

 

Ummm, well... I don't think it's him. I mean, have you looked at some of his tweets? He doesn't even use the right your/you're! :thinking:

 

i feel so out of the loop :bigcry:. damn schoolwork, i don't have time to read entire threads anymore, so i didn't even know miller had a private twitter account!

 

:uhoh:

 

Debs does too... I think most Coldplay people probably have one, actually.

what's the point of having one when your a celeb if it's private? i dont know.....maybe it's just me...

Jejeje, yeah, i'm following her twits as well :P

So, was it Mr. McGee's idea for Oasis's lead singer to wear John Lennon's sunglasses in that one video for Wonderwall?:P Take that mr. Magoo Mcgee!

what's the point of having one when your a celeb if it's private? i dont know.....maybe it's just me...

 

Well they're not really celebrities, and they don't have their accounts set to private, so... :thinking:

 

Jejeje, yeah, i'm following her twits as well :P

 

:uhoh: Did you see the one from the day the postcards were delivered?

*stops looking like a creep* I actually just stumbled upon it, I don't go searching on Twitter for random people :P I don't even know how!

Even though the Twitter comments were most likely fake, I wasn't surprised that I saw this. Alan McGee is one of the largest hypocrites in the media; only if he ever produces a Joshua Tree or a Viva then I'll actually give a damn about the crude, jealous remarks he makes.

SInce his former band OASIS ..is not doing any good....hes pretty jealous coz Dig out our soul sucks and makes me sleepier than a sleepy head

Well they're not really celebrities, and they don't have their accounts set to private, so... :thinking:

suuureeee! :wacko:

 

 

 

Stalker!! :lol:

 

everyone related to coldplay has one except the boys themselves :bigcry:

 

how do i see debs's? i'm still such a twitter noob.

Well, i don't understand twitter very well yet :\ i just saw her pic on Miller's, clicked and added her :P

BRIAN ENO - MCGEE'S INTERNET BATTLE WITH 'FAKE' BRIAN ENO

 

brian_eno_2289700.jpg

 

Retired music mogul ALAN MCGEE is waging a bizarre and bitter online war of words with a man impersonating superproducer BRIAN ENO.

 

The pair have been exchanging insults on social networking site Twitter for a number of days, in full view of other internet users.

 

According to CMU Music, MCGee started the fight by insulting Eno's production work, and then asking him "when are you going to make a decent record again...1972 was the last one c**t".

 

But MCGee's rants are falling on deaf ears, according to Scottish dance star Calvin Harris. Harris reveals he approached Eno at a recent event to ask about the argument with MCGee, and the producer - who has worked with Coldplay and David Bowie - insisted he isn't even signed up to Twitter.

Brian Eno: "I'm not signed up to Twitter"

 

up-4eno.jpg

 

Despite everyone jumping on the Twitter bandwagon, there are some real flaws in this whole micro-blogging craze, especially when it comes to following celebrities. As Exclaim! recently found out the hard way, not everyone out there Twittering is who they say they are, like, for example, the individual who owns the Twitter account twitter.com/Brian_Eno.

 

Following our story earlier this week, “Brian Eno and Alan McGee Start Twitter Brawl,” Brian Eno himself emailed Exclaim! to inform us he has no connection whatsoever with the above Twitter account and is in no way engaged in any “Twitter-fest” with one-time Creation Records head Alan McGee. In fact, Eno says he isn’t even signed up to Twitter. Here’s what an obviously annoyed Eno had to say to Exclaim!...

 

You published, as did many other sites, the exciting news that I was engaged in a twitter-fest with Alan Mcgee. I'm not. I'm not signed up to twitter. Alan Mcgee is arguing with someone, but it isn't me. You might think it boringly bureaucratic to check your facts, but it's nowhere near as boring as the several hundred conversations I'm now going to have with people who will eagerly ask me how the argument I'm not having with Alan Mcgee is going. Perhaps I could refer them to you? Brian Eno

 

Still, it seems the real bad guy in this whole thing is the person running that Eno Twitter account, who by the way is still out there bickering back and forth with McGee.

Fake Twitters!! Enough to piss anyone off!!:angry:

Whooo!

THE CLAWS ARE OUT BABY!

this story made me laugh so hard.

Actually it sounds like a joke to me, not some sort of rage-enboiled argument or something.

Eno is now a badass in my book.

for doing nothing :lol:
