"There are few artists who can make self-loathing sound as arrogant or overconfident as Greg Dulli does, and chances are, he knows it."- Pitchfork"the bulk of their career on the brink of stardom" -- they "never quite broke beyond a substantial legion of devotees enamored of their thinly veiled sleaze."- R.S. about the Afghan Whigs
Greg Dulli seems to be one of those musicians that people either love or hate. I tend to fall into the former catagory. The Afghan Whigs were pretty badass most of the time, the Twilight Singers are badass most of the time, and I'm assuming that The Gutter Twins will be badass. 3 mostly badasses out of three has to equal like 2 and 3/4 badass, which is good enough for me.
He kinda comes off as an asshole in his lyrics, which is cool cause almost all his songs are about how he wants to have sex with some girl or do drugs and if you tired to be sensitive or whatever writing lyrics like that, it would be fucking lame.
Oh, and apparently he used to take half an hour cigarette breaks during shows...so that's cool.
