Just heard him being interviewed on Radio NZ. What a fucking rude prick.
Since he's on a book promotion tour I sincerely hope he keeps up that sort of appearance. It will do sales no good at all.

Re: Tony Parsons
What, and he's written about pop music.
Described as a journo for NME if writing about crap can be described as journalism.
Fucking prat.
Don't you ever do a web search steve56?

Re: Tony Parsons
i never liked melody maker or nme really they took the piss too much i did web search it mentions the family way book and others sounds boring really.
Re: Tony Parsons
I have a sneaking suspicion that it was this cock that wrote a snidey piece of shit in the NME slagging off Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi from the safety of his office.
Several years later he happened to be staying in the same hotel as Tony who proceeded to beat the shit out of the media wanker in the car park! If it is the same guy he still has the facial scars to this day!
Reminds me of another story about a tosser that wrote something in Kerrang insulting Steve Harris of Iron Maiden. When Harris unexpectedly called in at the office to confront the guy the little worm shit himself and hid in the toilet!
I don't particularly like violence but make an exception when it is dished out to creepy journalists!

Re: Tony Parsons
Sorry, Rude Boy, it wasn't Parsons but Allan Jones (ex-Melody Maker ed.)who was beaten up by Iommi. One acount of the incident cites Iommi as having some 'assistance' in the matter whilst Jones stood alone. Nice.
"Let's do it..."
Re: Tony Parsons
You're right, I've just checked a book on Sabbath which recounts the incident and it was indeed Allan Jones who took a hell of a beating. It's an unofficial book and mentions a member of Sabbath's crew keeping a look out while Iommi really gave this guy a kicking.
It's an unsavoury incident but I feel no sympathy for the guy to be honest, sure it's par for the course for journalists to slate a band's music but too many of these creeps make personal attacks on people which aren't on so I think they deserve what they get personally.

Re: Tony Parsons
