  • shreddy_lee

    All a publicity stunt. He has his professional team have done a fantastic job creating a new buzz around Andrew W.K. I obviously do not have the inside truth but it seems they have carefully constructed a plan and put it into place years ago and release a bit more day by day, month by month etc..

    Hell, I never cared for a single song he has released but even I was reading his long interviews or what Tardy was saying about him. In my opinion, there is one W.K. The whole “I’m so sorry, I’m just trying my best to answer this question….it’s uhh it’s just so tough. I’ve been trying to avoid this for a long time”

    It gets people interested and now I guarantee his record sales will increase a great deal compared to if they just released it without all the conspiracy theories. Think about all the readers/visitors of Metal Sucks alone that have been intrigued by this.

      It’s not “fantastic,” it’s not “elaborate.” It’s a hack musician with no career left grasping at straws.

    It’s more him making fun of you than a publicity stunt. I’ve met the man many times, from 2001 up until 2008 (the last time I saw him), and it’s always the same person. If you can’t detect the presence of makeup and weight change you’re going to have a hard time getting on in the world.

      Don’t forget the mysterious disappearing and reappearing facial hair! Bet you can’t explain that!

        We sane people call it shaving.

      For real. People that were perplexed by the fact that a man, over the course of 5 years, gained/lost some weight and shaved/grew a beard, should take a look at this magic beans I am selling. “OMG, Andrew is totally 5 people! I saw this one picture from 2000 where he was clean-shaven, and I saw one from 2008 where the dude had a BEARD! He’s a fucking shape-shifting magician!”

    I’ve never really like any of his music but he definitely seems like an incredibly cool and funny guy. I don’t understand this whole “conspiracy” bullshit though, he’s blatantly the same guy he always has been, how anyone could seriously think otherwise is beyond me. Well, unless it’s like his identical twin or a clone or something.

    Everytime i see a headline here with Andrew W.K , I seriously want to mainline Draino.

    • Robert

      You totally should. Here, have a can. It’s on me.

      • Hammer_Smashed_Hurtt

        Bring two, we’ll pulll a Jim Jones.

  • Meekal

    Its too bad this album is absolutley horrible.

  • Sin and Death

    Well then, I guess that clears everything up!

  • Sammy

    Actually, he’s really Dave Grohl.

    In the end, there’s only one way out of here… (16)(9)(5)(3)(5) (2)(25) (16)(9)(5)(3)(5)!!

    Quasi-conspiracy theory? There IS some sort of genius company marketing scheme goings on and its the same guy and he’s getting free publicity… Plus it’s making something complicated out of some of the simplest music ever.
    YAY we’re all pawns! Party Hard.
