Kids in the Hall Guy Calls Sloan GGBB
--taken from: CHARTattack
It's not the guys in Sloan Kids In The Hall member Kevin McDonald hates… it's their band.
McDonald made the comment in an interview with The A.V. Club, The Onion's music and pop culture publication. He was part of the website's "Random Roles" column, in which actors and comedians discuss characters they've played throughout their careers.
The A.V. Club criticized McDonald for his role as Harry Potter in 2007's Epic Movie, saying jokes based on pop culture references are something Kids In The Hall have always stayed away from. The interviewer also stated he believed McDonald had been "trying too hard" in the role, and McDonald agreed.
Then came the diss, after the interviewer said McDonald's role was like "a crappy band that you know: 'They're super nice, though.'"
"Yeah, that's like that Canadian band Sloan," McDonald replied. "What's that thing? 'GGBB: Good guys, bad band.'"
Yeeeowch! Them's fighting words! That may not seem like a particularly harsh thing to say and he could have dissed their mommies or daddies or something else, but as anyone in a band or the music industry knows, GGBB is the ultimate diss against any musician.
It's like basically saying, "I like you and all, but I think you're really horrible at what you do for a living."
