Till Deaf Do Us Part
Besides a heavy metal guitarist, PD Dr. Manuel Trummer is also an Associate Professor of Cultural Anthropology with expertise in folklore. Manuel’s academic acumen has led to some concerned parties questioning the suitability of blending the imaginary with the factual.
– Although we, from the very first day, made it perfectly clear that our lyrics are no history lectures but rather exercises in storytelling and aestheticism, some people insist on taking them literally. I don’t really know why – perhaps they’re looking for a reason to show off their own knowledge about certain themes. Maybe they’re just frustrated and want to take a stab at me personally? There was this one especially annoying guy on a German forum, he repeatedly took some of my interview quotes and lyrics out of context to criticise me. It was along the lines of, ’Manuel is a professor and should know better than writing something like that’, and so on. All the while claiming ’I know about these things, I’m an academic myself’ and some other self-important drivel. I don’t particularly care if people can’t stand our lyrics or music but shit like that makes me furious.
Weiß jemand, welches Forum hier gemeint ist bzw. wo man das ggf. im Netz nachlesen kann?
