[MAJOR METAL]

If you were rich and famous would you participate in MTV's Cradles ? I would have no interest in letting the public into my bedroom and house.

[Eric Perry]

Cradles???

...Or Cribs?

[peaveyuser]

hahaha^^^^^


no I *HATE* MTV. I also can't stand that show almost as pointless as those stupid room tours on YT.

[i_got_a_mohawk]

I wouldnt, same reason as you MM, being famous to that extend could have cameramen following you all over the place, the last thing you want is them in your house, which could be your last point of privacy

MTV Cradles is a spinoff.

It primarily focuses on the extravagance of successful baby fighters.

It's not bad, but it's always a little predictable. A large room set aside for training, the bassinet room (where they always say "this where all da magic happens"), fridges full of bottles with a mixture of breast milk and cristal, and a large scale kiddie pool complete with baby ho's and their water wings.

It's cool, but it really detracts from what the sport is supposed to be about, focusing only on the opulence of a few veteran fighters that, to be honest have past their prime and have nothing but past glory and fleeting fame and fortune to show the world.

I'm not a materialistic person, nor do I have any intrinsic desire to show off my material posessions. I think that this pop version of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous just plays off of Western society's obsession with the material. The people on Cribs are no better than I am, so I'm not really intrigued with the five Porches and ten Humvees in their driveways. My guitarist would blow the loser from Good Charolette off of the fretboard, yet nobody is interested in touring his house.

[Mark Wilson]

Damn right I would.
And I'd take a gigantic crap on some newspapers in my living room to leave an impression on the World.
MTV Here I come!

Well said.

I definitely would, because I plan on having a mansion with many secret rooms and passage ways, just for fun. So while they may knock on the front door, I'd be coming out the shrubs because I have a tunnel built there or something.

Of course, I'd have a room where I keep all my music gear, and that's about all I'd talk about. Cars? Yeah, maybe two practical ones, nothing luxurious. I'm not too big into cars.

And for what it's worth, I've seen a few episodes of Cribs that weren't really airheaded. For example, the one with Tony Hawk showed he was pretty down to Earth, probably because he's a father. And he's probably fell off his skateboard enough to keep him humble.

[MJ5150]

No, I would not.

-Mike

[iamlowsound]

Nope. Because if I was rich and famous, I would still live modestly.

I saw the fight from that picture, it was vicious! The trainers had to break them up. Look at the gaze in the eyes there, pure hatred for each other! Could have ended a few careers, was getting close to having to phone thier mums to come and get them!

If I was rich and famous I'd TRY AND end all this psuedo reality TV so we could actually start to elevate ourselves as a species again, versus wallowing in human banality and having our collective intelligence slip backwards courtesy of Hollywood.I';d sposor a show on how to "feel someones aura", namely the art of interpersonal communications with a BLINDFOLD on. No visual judgements, just an openess that allows you to touch the souls of the other party, direct coimmunication without societal filters.

If we communicated this way, I guarantee violence, prejudice, etc, would be cut in an unbeliveably dramatic way. >80% drop. Worth spending the money ( in fact, once I get the thought crystallized, The Gates Foundation will be getting a proposal).

And I really dont give a rats ass what the "rich and famous" do. They're usually nobody I'd emulate or even care to know about. ( which is why I'll likely die poor and humble). I dont do "star" worship. We all have to stand naked. Material possessions, at some point, are completely meaningless.

I'd be saving babies in Africa, not bothering with papmered ones. And devoting my energy to the destruction of tribal religions so a universal humanist one emerges that can bind us all together- as it should be. Too many souls being lost to killer with "holy" books in their hands.

I'd also hire out a few A teams to trapse around the world and "off" the really bad guys. As soon as I figure out whether that will stain my soul keeping me from passing through the "pearly gates", in a "kharmic" sense. You know, doing evil to achieive good. Namely eradicating the most reptilian and vicious among us... slave traders, drug lords, etc. No press releases, no publicity, completely covert, heart attacks in the middle of the night, or "gangland" style slayings. Essentially sending in assasins whever the devils work is hitting the front pages, targeting the subhumans with the most suffering on their hands. Working the list.

I would fund efforts to raise the profile of Islamic women so they can fill more leadershipo roles in Islamic countries. Why? Because most of the gals dont have the need to kill me, a "non-beleiver", to get their virgins in heaven. I believe empowering women will be the one way we can get the Islamic world off their "salient conversion" program, and integrate with the rest of spaceship earth.

tHOSE REPTILIAN MINDED MEN ARE MUCKING THINGS UP TERRIBLY, BOTH SIDES.

i'D PUT CHICS IN CHARGE.


So there, theres my dream. If you could read the "wanna be" avatar I own, it would say "De Oppresso Libre". Liberate the Oppressed. Plenty of those around for your philanthropic focus.

[CallieBum73]

Chicks in Charge...I like the sound of that!!!!!!!!!!!

[mrokern]

I've got too much of the Neil Peart attitude in me...I give folks everything I can when I'm playing. Anything else in my life is mine and private.

In other words...NO.

Yeah, it would be alot of fun until countries started getting nuked once a month. Do they make Commander-strength Midol?

[spade2you]

Nope. I don't want the world seeing the inside of my house. No need to make it easier to know how to break in and where the stuff is.

[Bryan316]

I wouldn't associate myself with eMpTyV in any way whatsoever.

And I'd make sure my band's videos were far too metal for them to ever air on their horrid network.

[SpankyPants]

Anyone who knows anything about the music business will tell you that the vast majority of music artists with great big houses often lose everything shortly after they air on MTV. There is no money in being an artist. There are more people in the NFL than artists who make a real living off music. Generally, the faster you rise, the faster you fall.
