Radio 2 have been featuring him a lot. Gaaah! I FUCKING HATE Neil Diamond. I’ve done more talented turds. He is an ignorant, arrogant tosspost who writes songs for grannies and karaoke singers and yet, somehow, is massively popular. His new album is produced by Rick Rubin, who apparently has now decided on a full-time career in rehabilitating old acts and making them cool. A couple of things occur to me;
1) This is all based on Johnny Cash. Rick, you did a good job there, but let’s face it, good job though you did, it was Johnny f’n Cash. The original outlaw, the Man in Black, the coolest of the cool. The guy was a stone-cold genius. You helped, sure, but a lot of it was down to him. This though is the equivalent of polishing a dog dropping.
2) Who’s next? Bette Midler? Fuck it, let’s exhume Perry Como and have a go.
I am sure some people like Neil Diamond, but then some people like trainspotting and they are all wrong too. I’d rather my testicles were rubbed in tabasco then fed to a cannibal them listen to him. But the idea that he is somehow credible? No way.
Final word to Ron Wood – ‘At the Last Waltz, Bob Dylan was going on after Neil Diamond, who is one of my pet hates, no-one knew why he was there, to be honest. As he was walking off he said to Bob ‘man, I was so great up there, you are going to have to go some to follow me’. Bob just looked at him and said ‘yeah man, I might have to go on and fall asleep’.
In a nutshell. ELM is proud to be tough on Diamond and tough on the causes of Diamond.

Yeah I met Neil Diamond in London a few years back. I’m not a fan but I wanted to get his autograph for my mum. I said hi to him and asked how the tour was going. But when I asked If I could have his autograph his face darkened and he said I was a no-body and should just get lost. He was really unpleasant and rude. I did’nt respond but have hated him ever since.
Dominik Diamond is a cunt as well, although IS a Cellick man.
Peter,you’d have been within your rights to slap the old gimp.
Dominik Diamond truly is an arsehole.
Neil Diamond is the musical equivalent of a lentil curry vomit stain on a paisley pattern rug covering the trapdoor to a rat infested, effluence splattered human abattoir.
Just my cup of tea
