Elton John Sick of American Bands' Style -- "Attention, rock 'n' rollers. Elton John is sick of your tattoos and piercings.... he'd like American bands to adopt the cutting-edge, glam-rock style made popular by his peers."
Elton, go make an album like you used to make back in the 70's. Until then, STFU.

"I'm so over the tattoos and the T-shirts and rings through the noses. It's not pretty, it's not pleasant, it's not exciting. Please stop it now."

I'd be pretty happy if I never had to look at his pasty-faced, toupeed self again. It's not pleasant, either.

Hate his music, too.

Honey -- those a'int no toupees! ;)

Elton claims he went "all-the-way" with a hair transplant -- which he likely did, but to disastrous effect.

"Nowadays he wears a wig - but he still insists it's a hair transplant."

Elton Jone? You mean the idiot who'd dress up like a duck or wear incredibly stupid looking sunglasses just for kicks is complaining about other musician's style?

What a friggin' jackass. I hate him even more than I did before reading this.

PS Please stop wearing tracksuits out in public unless you're going running, you moron.

American Bands Shocked to Discover that Elton John is Still Alive. "Who?" says Avril Lavigne.

No hatin' on Elton, please. When one of those kids who looks like an escapee from a meth lab creates a Goodbye Yellow Brick Road or a Madman Across The Water, then he'll have to STFU.

someone had to tell those snotty kids! Elton John just had the balls to do it first. he may be an old fart in the wind, but he calls bullshit when he sees it and I respect that in a --err, em, musician.

Dammit, I can never make up my mind about Elton. First there are those '70s albums, which, while not really my cup of tea, are nonetheless really good. But he also did a bunch of songs that are little more then mawkish, treacly crap. Then there's the what-looks-to-me-like claiming to be bisexual while actually being gay. And the refusing to age gracefully. And the Disney soundtracks, and the Tim Rice collaborations, and the freaking Diana song (and, not for the first time, what-looks-to-me-like taking credit for Bernie Taupin's work). But he appeared on The Simpsons, and did that Grammy performance with Eminem. And now this thing, which I don't really have strong feelings about one way or the other. (Wow, I know a lot more about Elton John than I thought.)
